Ok, I think I know where the general area your at. You'll have to travel to go to any garage that isn't looking to make money off of spare parts. Anyone else could tell you the same I'm guessing. I wouldn't trust many people with my car if I were you. Get to know the area, you'll have PLENTY of people willing to race you, but you wont get much of a challenge out of many. Like, maybe 1 out of every 20 that you race will make you swet. If you haven't noticed, there aren't that many guy's from the mid WI area at all. I've seen about 5 member's posted so far.

I wouldn't recommend it, I own a 4 banger myself and I wouldn't recommend hanging with those dudes. They're incapable of rational thought it seems like sometimes. They look at something like a vette and say they could beat it because of some retarded weight reduc they got. It's stupid really.

You could indefinately get away with that one. They would go bitch once they figure out your modded though. You MIGHT have a couple that would go through with it.

I am from the Central Wisconsin Wausau area. There are a few of us here and a few more that are not on this site that I know of. Post up if you will be coming in the area and if I am not working I would be interested in meeting up somewhere.
