Yeah this site is better than those others you mentioned. Much more action.

Word of caution... the street racing section is very volatile. Lots of trolls and it seems almost every thread has insults and arguments going on.

Plenty to do here, you may end up buying an LS1 if you stay here long enough. ~Joshua

Never heard of Neons being called "roaches" before...

I've heard of Skittles, but roaches? Holding a little pent-up anger there?

Haha, my girlfriend calls MY car a roach.

And yes, STR-4s are turbo skittles, not roaches.
