Ya, I guess I should speed/race around the streets and look like a douche/get tickets. Most people that speed/race on the streets look like MF idiots trying to show how "fast" and "cool" their car is, who gives a ****.

do you at least take it to the track? I dont hate on your beliefs about street racing and sometimes it is dumb if lots of people are around! But if you and another guy are the only ones around then I dont see the harm... to each his own, good day sir!

No, I dont take it to the track. What if me and "another guy" think that we are the only ones around, and theres a cop a couple blocks down the street?

I bought it as a H/C car. Either way, just bc its an H/C car doesnt mean it has to be raced. Do all lifted/built trucks go offroading? No, I like to cruise... Not speed around like a 16 yr old kid.

The prev owner never raced the car either. Some people prefer to take car of their car, instead of ragging on it. I can careless what my top speed is, or what my qtr mile time is. There's always someone faster.

I agree that lifting a 2wd car is gay. But if someone has a lifted, built 4wd truck and doesnt go offroading. Who cares? They may just like they look, they may like having more clearance, who knows. One of my buddies had a lifted Z71 and used to always go mudding, he now has a lifted 04 f150 and hasnt went mudding in it in the 2+yrs that he's owned it. Maybe its bc his lifted Z71 constantly had suspension issues, and he decided to not rag the f150 out? Either way, I don't pester him to go mudding. His truck looks MF sick.

I bought a H/C car, bc I wanted car that had power and sounds MF killer. If I want to race it, I can. But I choose not to. Im sure there are people out there with brand new z06 vettes that don't beat on their cars. And yes, it is 'all in fun'. But once you start breaking ****, its not too fun. Especially when you're a college kid. Maybe once I'm done w school, have a real job, and get a DD I'll race it. But as of now, its not much of an interest.

And I get roughly 10mpg city, 20+highway.

lol thats because alot of the people with new z06s arent far from a heart attack as is. (calm down guys, thats not yall)
i know all about breaking stuff. thats how i ended up with a truck faster than my car. i broke stuff, and replaced it with better stuff. it doesnt matter if your car is stock or not. if you drive the crap out of it, somethings gonna break. if your gonna race, make sure your car is setup to handle the power and take care of it. things dont break as often as you think. or maybe im just lucky, which i doubt.. lol
