8 pages since i went to sleep. :confused to much to respond to, i’ll just say that brian is a really good guy and has always been cool with me, plus he lets me throw apples at his girls ass… so thats a plus. I really try not to have a problem with people but the only thing i want to clear up is the reason this started. its not because of this: > [@arodracing](#): > > These arod vs swift posts started with him opening up his mouth and not minding his own business.FYI i originally said this: > [@Swifty](#): > > It wasn’t Nick’s S4. John you saw the slicks too right? oh and the reason we don’t know what’s done to the car, is because its probably running 30-40psi just beating the fuck out of it till it breaks. which says nothing about arod, or rodriguez racing. so then arod felt the need to “defend” the people that he is just associated with by stickers. by saying this: > [@arodracing](#): > > no, this isn’t like your car. But its a car that probally runs alot better than your POS. When you going to the track i can’t wait to see what the "Pizza rice civic " runs. :haha So i’m not sure how he doesnt get what happened. Someone was talking about a teal hatch sohc turbo, wanting to race joey and supposibly calling joey out… when he asked a group of people standing next to the car if that k20 wanted to race a hatch and they wouldnt say what was done to it, and joey wasn’t standing there. So i told them he’d be back in 20min and they could figure it out. Not knowing it was a rodriquez car at the time, i assumed that its a sohc motor, some newb puerto rican kid, and they are probably just gonna boost the fuck out of the motor till it pops. Thats how they roll down in the lot. So apparently arod gets all bent out of shape trying to defend this car, and viola!! we have this thread. ---

your car is all over the track on that run too, should have adressed the issue before running again… to late now. ---

:🙂 This thread sucks, why is there 17 pages of bickering and childish insults. This stuff goes back to the apg forum days where nobody can just leave things alone if they disagree with someone or don’t get along. I thought some of us had grown up a little bit from those days but maybe not. I like to hang out with people that enjoy the same hobby I do, the camaraderie among drag racers and enthusiasts is usually pretty strong. If someone is a dickhead or has a bad attitude then is it so hard to walk away or ignore them? People get so worked up over petty bullshit that they are ready to fist fight and threaten each other? I guess some things never change… ---
