Ah... all the negative and the extreme cases ends up on the tube!

We all suffer because of that! High insurance, more police attractions to nice cars, bad media coverage,etc....

What I do not like is that no one mentions that we do take our cars to the 1/4 mile track just for the fun of it.. I admit most would do some 3-5s runs to 60-80 MPH or we would pass someone at 100 MPH... but it is not like that bad like spending $2500 a month on car mods.. That guy has a transam, not a Viper! ... he is just spoiled childsh idiot!

That's another reason why I stay away from the Z site much of the time and stick around here. I leased my Z, so I can't really mod it too much. I came here and was constantly adding things to my CL.

I like seeing other people's cars, but avoid the urge to do anything to my own.. It's hard. I think I need that 12 step program too!

Racing with your pregnant wife in the car? Regularly competing in illegal street races while you have a pregnant wife at home? Jesus. What a fucking idiot.

But i do give him props for wearing the pants in the relationship - spend money on what you want. He makes ends meet so i can't fault him there. Too bad he can't learn to just save it for the track.

Am i the only one who went "ooh, V1!" when they showed his radar detector?

Oh V1... yeap.. nice but useless when the cops bust the illegal drags hang outs!

And the idiot is not spending his money on mods... mostly on insurance, lawyers fees, and court fines!.

If I am a judge and the guy get caught twice doing illegal races, I will confiscate the car, order his car to be sold in an auction, and put the money in a trust funds for the kids. Then, the guy would learn a lesson.

Thoughts of modding never crossed my mind till I got on this site. It's only been a few months, and I'm already adding more and more... but it's all good, right. Right?

and I quote myself," I plan to buy a car that needs no modifications to compete with speed and looks." Then I got bit by the acura-cl.com bug.

I remember last april when i first got the car and wasn't planning on doing heavy modding. I got exhaust, springs, sways, intake and strut bar. I was like ok I just spent 1500 on my car, that's it. Well most of you know, I've spent more than 10 times that amount. Damn this site and all of you. You're all a bad influence on me.

That Chris guy is an idiot. Running with his pregnant wife in the car? Spending that much cash while living in a crummy 2 bedroom apartment, and a kid coming? Someone needs to smash his face in and carjack his Trans Am.

Guy is an idiot. Plain and Simple.


"Difference between men and boys is the size of their toys"


I have only done very minor mods so far. Don't have the cash for the other stuff, yet!

Mods make our cars different. I guess its an addiction to separate ourselves from the pack.
