Gimme a nice basic coupe with a decent engine, great handling, manual transmission (has to be manual), minus fancy gimmicks, and I'll be happy. That's why that CS 3.0 I posted before will always be my dream car. It doesn't have to be the fastest, just the funnest!

There is a lot of skill involved in drag racing. Reaction time on the tree, knowing your vehicle well enough to know how to get it to hook for the first 60 feet.
Part of the reason that I've somewhat left my car alone is that it is very uncomfortable to drive. Its built for speed and power. Driving it around in the city is an awesome feeling. The rumble, the roar, its amazing. I had 2 12" subs and an amped stereo in it before I took them out because I couldnt hear them over the motor.
I love muscle cars.

The worst part was watching him get into his car in the parking lot. He had an old piece of crap Trans Am. But instead of a firechicken on the hood, he had a custom painted mural of, I kid you not, a skeleton raping a naked woman. Sleaziest person I've ever come across.

Dont be a baby, he seems legit.
But seriously, holy hell. How does he make a living if he comes across that sleazy at first glance?
Salespeople are a special breed.
