So it just bugs me that people can go out and buy fast cars from the lot. . now these "fast" cars are not out of peoples price range for the most part. . these arent 9082304802384 dollar cars. . no these cars are STI's, Srt4's, Evos, S2k's. . and things of that nature. Yes i know there are domestics that come with loads of power also. . But its depressing when these kids (for the most part) dont know how to drive, yet can beat most cars on the road in a straight line. Auto X is a whole other story.
There is no glory in building your own car any more it seems. kids just go out and tell mommy/daddy to buy them a 30K+ car then use there moms money to mod it. I myself am not that old, i am only 19 going on 20, but i have built my own swap, dropped in my swap, built my car, dyno'd it and made about 180whp ( i think my clutch is slipping ) and take great pride in what i have done. This would hold true for most people, but its just sad when people dont know the amount of work that goes into building a nice car. The other day i had some s2k owner tell me my car was a piece of shit and his car was worth 30k. . . blah blah blah. . . yet he cant drive for crap and got his ass handed to him because he doesnt know how to drive.
But i thougth that was funny, the s2k owner was like your cars crap, its an 89. . . i was like wow doesnt that make your 06 look bad, seeing as it lost to a piece of crap. but honestly it seems that people dont have any respect any more for things that people build and actually put time into. Opposed to going to a lot and buying one in perfect condition.
Tonight, the whole thing that started this trend, was an encounter with an srt4. Now i know these are cars not to be taken lightly, but i figured why not give it a shot, so from a roll he takes me no prob ( boost is crazy stuff). From a stop in 1st gear i hook up and pull about 1.5-2 cars on him, 2nd about another .5, hit 3rd and he catches up and passes me. . now im no driving expert but people dont need to noe how to drive in a straight line if they have oodles of power and just smash on the gas peddle once they have traction. They dont need to know how to feather the clutch, quick shift. . . nope the just smash there right foot to the floor. . so then i give him a thumbs up, he looks over and gives me a thumbs down. . . interesting way to end something. but i figured wow, you put how many hours into that car, not including the time it takes to fill teh tank.
just a final note, i wish people took pride in the things they built and put time and effort into, and not take so much pride in how fat there parents check book is and how much of a baby face they can make. . because in the end we all know who comes out on top with a better understanding and greater appreication of life ( not just cars). Sorry this is just me ranting about random shit. . . im almost sure this bugs other people as well
