So you brought a pen knife to a rocket launcher fight? Honestly, I would be embarassed to park next to those super/hyper cars.

I would probably park right beside them. They would be less likely ding my doors with theirs. Besides, being embarrassed to park beside them is like not talking to a really hot girl because she is hot.

He isn't racing them - just surrounding himself with hotness.

Maybe a little going on.

I hang out with car enthusiasts that appreciate all cars. I've been friends with these guys for years, they're all very friendly and down to earth.

I wouldn't be embarrassed. What I would do first though is make sure that the people driving those cars are like subaruwrxfan's friends: what I define as true car enthusiasts who appreciate a car for what it is, not just look at raw hp, price tag, badge, etc. I wouldn't WANT to park next to them if they weren't.

Thumbs up to having what seems like a great group of car guys you hang out with subaruwrxfan !

I normally do, but since I was following an LFA, I was staying on the safe side and just putting the clutch in and hitting the brakes when slowing down since I can't heel-toe very well and I certainly didn't want to take any chances.
