moved to OT because street racing is illegal and not supported or encouraged in the automotive forum. not that I’m implying its supported or encouraged in OT - but OT is specified for all topics. let the OT continue. ---

Who cares if he drives a Tc as a summer car? What’s wrong with keeping a fairly new $20k vehicle clean? Is it better to rip out in a Eg hatch for summer rollin’? ---

> [@Paulo](#): > > Who cares if he drives a Tc as a summer car? What’s wrong with keeping a fairly new $20k vehicle clean? Is it better to rip out in a Eg hatch for summer rollin’? Agreed. I had a S-10 that was “Summer only”. If the guy wants to keep his TC nice let him. I personally would rather have a sweet 4x4 winter vehicle (Such as a Jeep/STi/1500) and a nice car that is good on gas for summer. Hell if I dropped 35K on a new 1500 (any brand) I’d still keep my Jeep as a winter beater, just to keep the new truck nice… All in all I hope my winter car will be a nice AWD BMW, so whatever. In regards to the OP I’d say slow down a little. If your always going 10/15 over there is always going to be some homo in some other car that wants to show you. Let me tell you, the moment he whizzes by you he feels less bad about his baby chode, and somehow feels better then you. Congratulations, you make lots of frat boys happy everyday they pass you. ---

lol what’s funny is that his $20K “summer car” cost more, probably twice as much, as a lot of the cars people on here store for winter. I am an example of a person that’s paid half that much for a summer car…i just think it’s funny, because if people are going to get on him for storing that car over the winter, then you also need to get on me, and about 39579834 other members for storing cars worth that much and/or less ---

Personally, I would never spend 10x more on one car than another, then drive the cheaper one the majority of the time. If I’m paying for something nice that’s going to depreciate anyway, I’m going to use it, unless it snows and it physically won’t move. ---

STOP TRYING TO RACE ME. So back on topic, yeah dumb kids look for someone they can beat. The thing to do now is juice your Camry and keep a camera handy for the looks on their faces. :tup: That was one thing I enjoyed about my VR6: Kids in 15.5 second cars seeing a MKIV not knowing what a VR6 is and thinking it’s easy pickings, only to get absolutely pwn3d by a 15.2 second car! :pimp: :lol: ---

The thing to do now is juice your Camry and keep a camera handy for the looks on their faces. :tup: or sunfire in Choko’s case… i will never forget the first time i encountered that car, before even knowing who he was…coming down a certain road, he’s coming from the other direction, but whips a U turn in front of me so now i’m coming up on him going in the same direction…and i saw him getting on and off it, and i could hear the spray, but was in such disbelief that this dude romping around in a sunfire that i refused to think it was actually sprayed…but, it was…and my manhood was challenged when that car hung right at my rear fender…i was sad.
