Damn, that was well said and completely undeniable.
Also, the irony of liking your post wasn't lost on me either

Fuck I remember going to one of these meets and some guy with the swapped chevette was killing it, and the diesel trucks when they showed up... Just wow
Going against Corrado and ludes was fun in my Sc aw... I really should get the dam car back on the road my kids are old enough to learn to wrench.. Free labours!  |
I remember bringing out my swapped EG hatch. Dudes were losing it! The Maple Ridge crew was talking it up so much that the Mustang and Camaro guys were afraid to race me. Seriously, I was running low 14's at best, and these guys were freaked out
I ended up racing a whacked out RX3 with no exhaust and a full street port. That thing was so fast, probably high 11's. When he beat me the domestic guys realized that a twin cam civic, is still a civic. We had lots of great races after that. Import vs Domestic.
By the end of my street racing career we were smarter than the average bear. We had radios and people posted on the blocks around. We knew the cops were coming long before they got there. The scene in TF&TF where all the cars peel out at once? That was genuine.
Would I want my kids to have the same habits as I did in my late teens and early 20's?
Not these days. There are too many people, too many idiots, and too much to lose. But back then even if you got caught it was a ticket for loitering at the worst. Now they will impound with impunity.
