and people wonder why they never see me out at car meets - when I wanna be into cars, I'm actually INSIDE the car, abusing it.

I took some time off from racing recently to start my new business and to put some additional parts in the car

I enjoy modding my cars, all the cars I have had that were even somewhat worth racing, have been raced.. my turbo civic saw the track 2-3 nights with a handfull of slips here, my 02 mustang gt has a handfull of slips here too. I just dont have the funds at the moment, I took the plung in buying a house at a young age, unfortunatly some sacrifices are made.. I hope to have my car built within 2 years. I wanna do a full ls vtec build.. I love cars and racing is SOO fun, thats why im here. if i cant do it, why not live vicariously through others who can
