more thoughts on gandy madness...

i thank everyone for the responses i already received...and i wanted to ask a few more questions...

i realize some of these questions may seem basic....but i need to ask them...

how long have you been interested in street racing, and how did you first get involved...?

also...i'm interested in certain people becoming larger than they really are...kinda like slim shady and his crx...

i'm interested because he is an exception to the norm...or at least i'm thinking this because he is 1) considered a ricer by most standards...clear taillights...had a large aluminum wing...etc and 2) his car is actually fast.

what are your thoughts on SLIM and if you can think of other people of particular interest...please name them...will could also be included in the same category...as he's faster than normal...and is always out to prove how fast his car actually is...but again i'm only speculating...

so given these two facts...i feel he has become extremely popular because his friends and other guys driving honda's...or other slower riced out cars...can always point to slim and his car and maybe a race he won vs a faster car (ie camaro/corvette, etc)

how many of you have had direct experience with the police...ie speeding tickets, reckless driving, or possibly street racing tickets?

does the media affect your perception of street racing, especially with movies like the fast and the furious, its sequel, and the recent movies related to bikes...plus websites, and other forms of media that are making street racing more mainstream...

also...please list the type of car you have and the ET's...

i'm interested in this because i think people with faster cars have a different perception of street racing vs people with slower cars...

I've been into it for 4-5 years, started when i got my honda, did some work to it, but it wasn't enough, so i got a wrx...

I've only been pulled over once racing related, i got a street racing ticket, it was in hernando county so i didn't get in much trouble

The only way the media affects me is it makes me laugh harder at the rice boys that wanna be like 2f2f

also...please list the type of car you have and the ET's...

Slim... dave :-\? Oh well, he is a nice guy. Is normally down for any race if he knows he has a fair chance. Who would want to race something that they KNOW they will get romped by.
