Shut. the. fuck. up. Him running it and breaking it will provide hours of entertainment. Running it, and it being slow, will provide at least an hour of entertainment. Running it, and wrecking it will provide EPIC entertainment. ---

99% is him going to the bank today for the $$$ When I took him for a spin, to show him the powa, I steped into and he didnt care. Not sure if he would care if I took it to the track. If he pays me today or gives me a nice deposit…then I wont take it to the track. BTW-freezer is running at optimum temp right now:picard: ---

i vote track it for SEVERAL reasons: 1 - Um, why build a car if you don’t plan on tracking it? 2 - For every 50 people that SEEM like serious potential buyers, maybe 1 of them will come through and buy the car. That said, have you had 49 people that already told you they’ll take it? Because if not, i’m willing to bet there’s a chance this guy doesn’t come through either…so many people either don’t come up with the money, or do and take it elsewhere, or just never call you back at all, that i’d be skeptical. 3 - It’s still your car, do what you want with it. 4 - i guarantee that almost every time you take the car out, you get on it…and wind out at least a couple gears…we all do, hence us being members of NYSpeed…that said, what’s the difference of doing it at a track? If anything, a track is more controlled, responsible, legal, and you can actually be told how fast you’re going rather than just guessing by how long it takes you to get from one intersection to the next. You’re doing to the car what you would at a track every time you get on it, so i don’t see why this is even a question. All the concerns you have about tracking a car are the same concerns you should have in driving it aggressively on the street…actually, there should be more concern driving as such on the street…if anything i’d say you should ONLY track the car so as to avoid hurting yourself or anybody else around you… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/is-it-worth-it-to-die-an-old-grumpy-man-someday-or-do-i-find-out/46771.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/is-it-worth-it-to-die-an-old-grumpy-man-someday-or-do-i-find-out/46771.md?page=4)
