I'm not worried about it though, cause If I saw you, you would be rockin your "fun" Insight for 20-30 hours a week.
this is true, my R1 is not stretched, i like being able to take corner, nor is it lowered, but i can still keep it down i might spin a bit if the tire aint hot but once i hook i'm gone, as for seein you in my insight odds are we would both be in traffic so it would be a pretty even race, i drive to and work only in it so unless you work 5:30 to 13:30 odds are you wont see me.

So now you have all these high powered cars that waste a shitton of gas but you're talking shit about us geting 25 mpg on the highway in 500-600whp cars?

GTFO
