Hey rguy, I'm up for a 1/4 mile sprint anyday, but the reason I quit mentioning it was because of the whole drag season has ended thing, and since you keep repeating LEGAL event, we're gonna have to wait until the tracks re-open again. I went to natural bridge a couple of times(1/8th only), but could never get off work and get my shit together to make it to a 1/4 track in the last couple of weeks in the season. Don't worry man, I haven't forgotten about ya. Spring will be here soon enough, and my ole H22A1 hasn't forgotten about her highstrung little B series brother that steals all the limelight.
We'll get our race, be patient.

Why did you spend close to a paragraph explaining what a guy at SCRAM with a lexus and a 2JZ swap knows and has done? Doesnt mean he actually knows anything at cars, people could have TOLD him everything he knows
Ehh, Does this not make sense to anyone else?
Rguy, I must not know anything about cars either, because everything I know was told to me by someone else, whether through a book, magazine, classroom, or one on one. I guess you have me classified as an unsophiticated SOVA idiot too. How do I go about obtaining knowledge without having at least some sort of instruction or hands on experience like doing a hybrid engine swap(2jz in a lexus)? I want to learn this new technique of becoming magically enlightened with car know-how, ha ha.
I don't know the whole story about your friend Chad, so perhaps I can't give a complete opinion about the shop. All I was trying to say is from what I had seen, and again, I haven't talked to the majority of the guys there, but it appeared they have they're shit together on car knowledge at least as far as the import scene part of it goes. I think I have a partial idea of what you are trying to say though. I know people that read a magazine or go to a few car shows and pick up a few slang terms and lingo about cars and think they're all of a sudden ASE certified mechanics.
Rguy, can't we all just get along maaayyyann? heh heh. I can understand what you're saying about ignorant people and how they can tweak your nerves sometimes, but like I said, just take a breath and let it go sometimes. Seriously, you're gonna have a damn aneuyrism and die before you're even actually legal to drink that beer that you had last night, heh heh.

You quoted me wrong, i said "Doesnt mean he actually knows anything at cars, people could have TOLD him everything he knows, doesnt mean he understands it ."
A lot of people can repeat info they have been told. Everything we know was at some point told to us, but that doesnt mean you actually UNDERSTAND it. I can tell you because someone told me that the barometer drops when its about to rain, doesn't mean i actually have any clue what it really means to say that. Yeah my point to you was that he might of just been magazine educated and you cant assume because he was a nice guy and his car had nice stuff on it, that he was a knowledgable person.
P-Nasty,
, have one on me bro.
