I turn my own wrenches, but don't rag on people that don't have the time or skills to do their own stuff. Some people are better off doing other things to make cash, to fund their car habits.
you are the man that I hope to be, you have the money and hookups to build a bad *** stable of cars! The reason I am trying to get a bad *** education to make the ducketts roll in...
plus gray can build my motors!

After reading the last few pages since last night I think some of you need to just ******* get a life... And WTF have most of the people talking **** got?? Whats so amazing is the people talking most of the **** ain't got **** to speak of...
BTW Is 1/4 mile racing the ONLY thing you can enjoy doing with your car? Is this like the ******* Holy Grail of owning a high performance car?? Geezzzuuusss...
Don't know about some of you but I like to have a good all around car. You know something you can "do it all" in...I'd rather be able to head out to the garage at anytime I feel like it, crank it up, head down to the local Shell station with the A/C blowin' cold and the tunes cranked up, drive to wherever the **** I want to, play with ANY car on the road and out run 99% of them. Head to the local car show "driving" there and back. And then maybe shoot it through a few times just to see how "terrible" my high HP car runs compared to the "track" only rides...
And yes, I too have a small *****...
