Outside - I'm not going to street race you because that's immature and not safe.

I will be sure to include everything they said and all my planned arguments for those statements. I will also make sure that I have 100s of posts about my 500hp turbo build and weekly track sessions easily linked to my user name for all the public to see. Since all the Dealers are so stupid none of them or their lawyers will ever figure out who I am so none of that info will come back to bite me if court action is taken.

Although I have never once even so much as put air in my tires I can perform all maintenance and repairs on my car far, far better then those monkeys at the dealership that spent years learning a trade and do the work 20 times a day.

This always makes me laugh. People come down so hard on me for getting oil changes done at the dealership. I got the extended warranty (Don't even start on this, I have my reasons, and they make perfect sense in terms of $ amounts) so I have like 8 free ones. That'll last me at LEAST 4 years. At the rate I'm driving my car (less than 11000km in almost 10 months of ownership now) they may outlast the length of time I own the car.

I completely don't understand how suspension systems work, especially in relation to the rest of the car, and how they affect the dynamic of the vehicle.

*Buys Megan Racing/BC/Fortune Auto/etc coilovers for "tracking"*

Driving a Scion doesn't bother me as much as other people knowing I drive a Scion.

I got really bummed when that other 86 driver ignored me on the 10. Now I feel needy.

I really want racecar parts and I know I'm never going to track anything but on-ramps.

My knock-off parts really don't bother me much at all.

I still hate the mustache.

The crickets have grown on me.
