serious.. ? ...
 

well the last couple of weeks ive caught myself thinking...
why do we do what we do to cars? .. whats the point?
and to tell u the truth i couldnt come up with one good reason
at all so i ask u guys whats the point?

Re:serious.. ? ...
 

ive been thinkin the same thing for a while. i think im just gonna buy a nice car rather than putting a lot of cash into junk. but i will probably have a project car that'll take years to finish. hahaha. i guess it could be to make it fast!!! :)

but whats the point of going fast?

Re:serious.. ? ...
 

Its a hobby, going fast is fun so thats why I do it. Nothing is better than the rush of a fast car.


Most people build their cars to impress other people, and they are usually the people who ask questions like "why am I doing this?" and to me they do it for the wrong reasons.

whitey hit, it, i love going fast, my car is my stress relief, gives me something to do, and gets u -----.

Speed. Whitey's right about that rush, almost better than road head. The fact that knowing a car you have maybe a total of $6000 or less can smoke a $30,000 ride is also pretty damn satisfying 8)

If you have to ask your not having fun.

I love going fast.I love freeway racing at 4:am.I love it when your heart speeds up and your hands get all tingely and sweaty couse your spedo is pegged and the rpms keep climbing in 5th gear at 10psi.The adrenalin is pumping and your shaking in your seat.Thats beter than any drug I.M.O.

I also love the look on the other guys face when your civic is keeping up with his Corvette till he decides to shift into 6th.

Well I think you draw the line when you have to decide wether to pay bills or buy a new part.I think you should go as far as you can aford it.

I personally do it couse I like to work on cars.I like to get dirty and have the personal satisfaction of knowing that I built something that was fun,cheap and fast.

I wouldnt do it If I had no mechanical skills and had to pay someone to do it.
