But we're here whether or not we vocalize it as much. And no, I don't have mine anymore, i'm retired do to theft.
i'm just posting this based on experience. in the 757 area ALONE there are HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS of kids who show up on a satruday night to go rip the highways up. When there is a thread about a friday night street event at the drag strip, think any of those guys show up? A buddy of mine goes out there and rips 500+ whp cobras, WRX's, EVO's, SRT's...etc on the highway with an AWD car. We finally got him to hit the drag strip... managed 1 12.3 @ 115ish mph... doesnt say much for those other cars does it? Seeing a 10 second import out there on the strip on a friday night would be like seeing a leprecaun riding a unicorn
I completely understand the bigger and better things argument. I'm still young (22), and have a year or so before I'm gonna start my ful blown "adult" life (college is awesome). I'd like to think that I wont give up my love for cars when that happens. However, I do have garage access at this point and find myself driving my hatch less and less, probably once or twice a week at most now, a combination of fear of these thefts and lack of creature comforts in a mid-low 12 second all motor civic.
i know there are a handful of guys on here with some fast cars. hell, one kid on here is like 19, has built his own car and ran high 9s in it the first time out. That is a rare case however.
