It's not that hard.........

rebuilding one isn't worth the time unless going with boost.

Didn't say it was hard. Said that many people go into these things with great plans and expectations and then just simply never do any work and it sits thee.
You guys are the exception in that you actually check all the boxes.

Yes you do. I'm at the point of going to 10+ events, admittedly not all track though.

Driving for fun on normal roads just doesn't ever quite feel the same afterwards and you crave the track.

Oh, totally. For a long time, that one day cured me of any urge to hoon. Might as well be walking.

Rally gets me pumped. I love lofting it.

boost schmoost

I beat my old swapped FA20 more than I beat Opie's mom and it's still kicking ass.

(and no, I don't beat Opie's elderly mother.... that much)

Swaps are fine. They're just not as intimate.

...like watching Opie beat his mom instead of doing it yourself. You know what I mean.
