When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

well there are bad apples in every bunch. I find it 'interesting' when someone is compelled to make a front wheel drive, heavy sedan, with a low powered 4 banger, as loud as humanly possible.

But I've been to many of those Hot Import car shows and there is some real craftsmanship to be found. Some very tasteful understated sleepers.
But your average 18-24 year old can't afford any of that so they go for the all show no go. These guys account for 90% of the comments (rarely compliments) that I get at every other traffic light during top down months.

THe funny thing is I think I've only once seen an Accord, Civic, Scion, Supra, GTI, Hyundai, Jetta, at an autocroos or driving school.

Once in a while I'll get the head nod from a kid in STi, EVO or S2000. (the imports that actually have some left and right wheel turning- performance).

Now this is a gang signal I would flash, yo.



Aside from the commercials, I think those cars are cool too.

Those "fast" ads are so funny to me. I hope they continue the series of commercials for a little while.
