I keep records of all the money I spend (hemorage) on the Camaro, and hit a milestone today. Looking at my tally makes me cry inside most of the time, and sometimes I think of all the neat things I could have purchased for what I have spent. I could have bought a fully sorted racecar, ready to go out of the back of SportsCar magazine for all that I have spent.
The worst part, is after all I have spent, my car is sub-par at everything it does. It is sloppy at the drag strip, auto-x track, and on the road course, and is now getting more and more useless as a daily driver. Anyway, enough of my babbling let's see the bling! I know some of you keep up with things like this, if not make a guesstimate. My Idiocy |

QUOTE (94bird @ Apr 14 2004, 08:49 PM) QUOTE (00 Trans Ram @ Apr 14 2004, 09:47 PM) To quote what someone else has said before, "When you beat everyone in a Vette (Viper, Ferarri, Porsche, etc.), it's the car. When you beat everyone in an F-body, it's the driver." Then again, in real competition all that matters is that you won, not what weapon you used. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Yeah, I agree with you there. I just mean people's perceptions. I do know that I get a lot of people coming up to me (Newbies) asking things like, "You beat that Z06 with THAT?" I try not to be insulted, and then tell them that it is the driver, not the car, yada, yada, yada. Plus, we're talking autocross - some people (me included, some days) are astounded that I can throw a 3600lb car with 322hp around a course faster than a 2800lb RX-7 with about 280hp. |
