That Mustang I dusted on that last on ramp probably wasn't even trying to keep up.

On the streets, no one really cares that my car can go fast around turns.

Stock for stock our car is slower than a Fiesta ST.

The only type of race track I've ever raced on is a drag strip.

This boxer engine sounds like an unrefined POS even with UELs

I totally ruined my FT-86 by hacking up the fenders and installing a RB widebody kit.

I am getting a turbo because my ego cannot take another soccer mom blowing me off with a car load of laughing kids

It never crossed my mind that buying this car would make me look cool.

A 2JZ is not the greatest engine ever to grace God's green earth.

A 2JZ swap will not make every car ever made a better car.

Mustangs and Camaros can out handle my car.

I know my modified twin is not worth half of what I put into it.

I got staggered wheels to look cool but I hate how uneconomical it is for tire rotations

I am bored with my car and even though there is nothing wrong with it want the dopamine rush of choosing, buying and taking delivery of a new one. I already know what I am going to get but am going to ask about 3 or 4 others and then argue with everybody that doesn't suggest my first choice. In 1 or 2 years I will be bored with that one and start the process all over again.

I honestly don't understand that. I'm driving today with my passenger door card removed because I'm verifying the window tweak. Every time I find and adjust, or repair something, I feel a little more attached to it.

ok, back on topic...

My lightweight pulleys didn't do shit.
