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.

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.
