well as a few of you know i had to sell my lightning last thursday. i just figured id post on here that some lucky SOB ran off with it for 7000 bucks with all my goodies still on/in it. just to recap here i paid 20 for it june 25th, and put 3000 bucks into it over the summer. plus i had the engine pulled before i sold it and that was another 1500. i always see that "if your gonna play you gotta pay" saying being tossed around car forums. i used to think it refered to spending money on mods. but between the lightning takin a crap and my evo getting messed up bad. im starting to understand. i feel horsepower is like any other drug. in the fact that it has its good times at first, things are peachy, you only need a little to have fun, and you can quit whenever you want to right? WRONG! cause before you know it, you cant get enough of the stuff. you start spending more than just spare cash on it. soon your donating various bodily fluids for money to buy mods, your family and friends start to notice. then they try to intervean by pulling you out from under your truck while your installing your FTVB. its nuts man and it can ruin your life i tell ya!!!!!!!

 

Not if you go to the track and actually use it. Modding just to have more power for driving on public roads is fruitless.

 

uh huh im sure everone agrees with that statement. id be suprised if more than half the people in the US with modded evos have ever even been to a track, much less run their cars

 

Those that don't run into the same problems you do.

 

Not entirely true, 0 to 30 and 0 to 55 just get funner and funner haha, but getting those time slips just adds fuel to the fire

 

Yeah that deal with ur lightning was a big loss for you , i think u should think things over more an have some sort of a plan and not rush things ,figure out (research) what u need ina car or truck and try an be patient ! my .02

 

but warr wouldnt ever like creep half-way down a freeway ramp then floor it until he hits 70. none of us ever do that

 

I wasn't referring to drag racing, but yeah, the drag strip is a good measurement tool to see how much power you've gained.

 

Warrtalon! You crack me up! Don't get me wrong, I think that you are definitely a valuable member of the EvoM community, but i swear you must sit by your computer day and night commenting, policing and generally harrassing people on a minute by minute basis!

Keep up the good work!

Tony

 

good point im atleast getting paid while talking to you guys

 

You could say the same about drag racing.

 

Say what same thing about drag racing? That doesn't make sense in relation to the comment you quoted.

 

Can you get in trouble for acclerating as fast as possible to speed limit?

Im sure cops will make some BS ticket.

 

Reckless driving I believe is one of the things they can call it

 

Yea they got my buddy at a car show last year.
