im not trying to talk down to people, and i never specifically called you out. and i take care of my stuff too. i am not hard on my car at all, i keep it maintained, and i wash it all the time. i'm not immature and irresponsible at all so i dont know why your calling me that. all i was saying was that you guys were being awfully hard on him for something that technically was not a big deal.

I'm sorry, but I always thought this was an enthusiests forum? That would include pictures and videos of modifications, time slips, dyno's, auto X, and road course. Sharing some stories of a late night run on a deserted road to see who's quicker.

I, as well as most of the people on here would think that is more interesting/important and actually PROVES something. Check out the thread in the G3 forum about the guy with the 05 6MT that pulled a 13.9 with Intake and some spacers. He has vids, pics and time slips.

I wouldn't think we should condone, stick up for little kids with nice cars going around turns really fast in the middle of the day to take a picture of a skidmark. I'm not a moderator, and I'm not telling anyone how to run their forum but from what I have seen on this site it's really good and informative. I'd hate to see it ruined for some shit that should be on Hondahookup.

Then he would learn a valuable lesson now wouldn't he. Maybe next time he will also learn to slow down some and learn a better line as well??

No one at acurazine ever said they condone it. just being fair and balanced.
