While I must acknowledge that even mentioning the troll feeds it...

You're talking to the ex-owner of a 73 Chevy Custom S-10 with a 93 Z28 engine, and I have a 1950 Tudor with a 92 Mustang 5.0 coming in inheritance, so let's acknowledge we're on the same page here. Not only that, I agree most ricers are complete dumbasses that do some of the most ridiculous, pointless stuff I've ever seen done to a car....

Though, my current car is a 94 Integra GS-R... why? Because it handles well, is fun to drive, looks good, quite quick, and gets over 35 miles per gallon. Not only that, with all the money I've put into it, I haven't spent over 9.5K including buying it, modding it, maintenance, and oil... That's not a bad deal, huh? It's really a great car too...

And while it wont hold a candle to my friend's 62 Chevy Nova, it still does a respectable 14.9, which is very nice for it's class (4-banger NA).

Thus, my little import does everything I want it to do... why then does this worry you so much that you have to spend time on labor day attacking other people? Don't you have family or friends you can spend time with?
