from the stuff you post, you're also part of the immature group

it's exactly how the world works. diplomacy is the tool of the weak.

as a "car guy," i dont get how doing the work on your cars yourself makes you more of a "car guy"

most of the time im working on my pathetic excuse of a "race car" i sit there thinking fuck this thing

if i had the dough id gladly pay someone to do it for me, so all i gotta do is show up and drive

the only thing i do enjoy doing myself is the body work

I'd have to write 3 pages to answer that. We'd all like to have our shit done with the stroke of a pen at times. Someone thst can build their car understands it even if they choose not to do it themselves. It's not that guy that anyone dislikes. It's the rich guy that buys something purely as a status symbol that car guys keep at arms length. It doesn't run through his blood like ours.

i guess that makes sense

but at the same time, i dont look at any of the "big time" drivers around here differently for paying for their cars/crews

i just snicker when i beat them, cuz i'd be pissed if i spent that much and got passed by a bent chassis with a tired 350 crate
