I love finding the racing line through my lane. My commute has a fun double apex that you can take without adjusting the steering wheel if you get the turn in right.
I’m a bit more aggressive as a driver, I love the throttle and the brakes and turning at speed, but I absolutely hate it when people break the “hard rules” of driving, like running a stop light or stop sign, crossing several lanes at once, not turning from a turning lane, u-turns when they’re specifically prohibited,…
This. I commit the double “he must be rich” deal by driving my sports car and playing golf. My car is very much like my golf bag. The bag, clubs, and contents would have been worth about $3k brand new. I don’t have a $1k in it, it’s just searching for shrewd deals. In the case of my car, same thing, and I know how to…
That just because you own a nice car or multiple cars that you are rich and single. Okay, I have three cars, one happens to be a fairly standard classic (71 Vette), another highly modded (67 Dart with 5.7 Hemi, T56 6 speed, Viper seats, etc that I have done myself), and a supercar (2004 Viper). I also happen to be…
That I’m a pretenious/arrogant/rich/pompous/ostentatious snob because I drive an old Porsche. When in fact, my only beef is with the “water-pumpers” who don’t return the customary high-beam flash “hello”.
That there is some form of prerequisite to being a car enthusiast, like knowing how to drive manual, read a UOA, or replace a spun rod bearing. The only requirement to being a car enthusiast is to be enthusiastic about cars. From there, you learn.
That we all watch NASCAR. Someone please inform the vast majority of Americans that NASCAR is NOT the only form of professional racing in the world!
That being an enthusiast means you street race. FALSE. I hate that crap. Cut it out.
I swore for years I would never lease a car, but when my wife’s (paid in cash) Envoy with 200,000 miles on it that got 15 MPG was starting to have problems I had few options. Expecting whatever car we bought to get around 30 MPG, I knew I could afford no more than $200/mo (I keep a monthly budget and things were…
The rear haunches of this car are pure sex in person. Great lines.

Are These The Most Expensive Mud Flaps Ever Fitted To A Car?
No mention of whistle tips? I am disappoint.
I live in the upper Midwest, what is this "intentional rust" you speak of?
Damn, Doug. Really bringing out the best in people. I wonder if he’s butt-hurt out of envy or butt-hurt out of remorse of owning a Toybaru non-AE86 editon.
Little back story to the 2nd picture down (night shot of the pit area). My race car is the blue and white buggy sitting next too Robby’s Gordini. I asked Robby if I could park off to the side of his rig to steal some light to work on my racer. He said “no”. He then said, “ why don’t you pull it along side of the…
