Street racing doesn't endanger livesanymorethan a woman on a cell phone and a screaming kid in the back seat... I'm not saying its right by the slightest amount, but You only live once, let some adrenaline flow. Just don't get caught...

 

Ah Scott (fullmonte)just hit the nail on the head! We race in the streets, more to beat our chest and to show the World (in reality the one or two people that see it) how bad we are, how much of a man (or aplha female) we are!

Wow, that is the RAW TRUTH! It is the same reason I detail my car so much, or put a 1000% effort into everythingI do. To get the attention, to beat my chest and say... SEE ME, SEE HOW GOOD I AM, SEE HOW NICE OF THING I HAVE, AM I NOT ABAD PERSON, etc... I just had an Epiphany!!!

 

[align=center]Hi `Craig,[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I like goodrecognition, but when it comes to cars,[/align][align=center]I don't race to get attention. I race for the[/align][align=center]thrill of competition, and too see[/align][align=center]`if my car, and my driving skills are better then my[/align][align=center]competitor's....To prove only to myself, andnot others.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I went through that stage of "Look what I got, & you don't",[/align][align=center]or, I'm better then you are at this : )[/align][align=center]I found it empty. I learned to be happy with what I have, and[/align][align=center]not drive my life by what other's have.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]My realistic `dream is to have a car like, orequivalent to a [/align][align=center]Z06 Corvette, but I want it for the driving experience,[/align][align=center]the engineering, the Power.[/align][align=center]Not to impress anyone, but to impress[/align][align=center]myself by it's power, and that I was able to obtain one[/align][align=center]of my dreams. I would love to share my dreams[/align][align=center]with my friends, but not to impress, but to `share[/align][align=center]the rewards of my dream, and experience.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I know that I am way different then the rest.[/align][align=center](I've been told by many that I am: )[/align][align=center]
Many have said that I am `naive, and that I have been blocked from[/align][align=center]the `Real World, by living in a isolated area of the SunShine,[/align][align=center]and being surrounded/taught by older people. [/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I may not be Street City smart, but I'm learning about our World,[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]&human `beings. [8D][/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I learn something everyday on the web, and in mylife.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center][/align][align=center] It's the way I have been programmed by my grandfather, and [/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I've found his teachings to be `true, & they work good for me.[/align][align=center]I haven't deleted any of his `inputs.[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I respect, and understand your post, but I don't believe[/align][align=center]it applies to `all, or not to me : )[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Thanks for your `post, your input, and all your contributions[/align][align=center]to the MCF.

[align=center]I don't race to get attention. I race for the[/align][align=center]thrill of competition, and too see[/align][align=center]`if my car, and my driving skills are better then my[/align][align=center]competitor's....To prove only to myself, andnot others.[/align][align=center][/align][align=left]I heard this thousands of times, and I have said it myself when I was tournament fishing -- because it makes us sound a little more humble. But you are lying to yourself!YOU WANT TO WIN! To prove YOU better thanyour competition! So that you can beat your own chest - and that is the TRUTH! There is NOTHING WRONG with having pride in one's self - NOTHING! There is NOTHING WRONG in working hard to BETTER YOURSELF and to be better than others! There is NOTHING WRONG in wanting to be RECOGNIZED for your accomplishments and liking it! [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]HOWEVER, ItDOES becomes a PROBLEM if you begin to treat others BADLY because you BELIEVE you are SUPERIOR to them! OR when you walk around telling the world HOW GREAT YOU ARE! WORSE OF ALL, it becomes TOTALLY DISTRUCTIVE when you start putting others down and talking poorly ofothers to build yourself up.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]SPACE - you have the right to be proud of yourself -- why not... We are proud of you!!![/align]

 

[align=center][/align][align=center]I never said/posted that I didn't want to win : ), but I've learned to `be[/align][align=center]humble in victory, and a good sport in defeat. [X(][/align][align=center]I do my best, not to blow my own horn, and let my actions speak for themselves.[/align][align=center]I am proud of my good deeds, but I regret my bad ones.[/align][align=center]Craig, thanks for your thoughts, your words. I respect them.[/align][align=center]Peace/Out[/align]

 

I don't like the idea of tearing up my car...I do not race...and I do not accept street racing

 

 

space,

I have never ever raced. The first day I had the monte..well..I had it to 105 down the back roads of Kiowa Colorado. I have had one speeding ticket when I had a 2000 mustang. The only way I would race my car..is if when I pay it off and if I could find a safe place to do it. We do have tracks around here..but all the kids would want to race..and I am just not into it I plan on keeping her until the engine falls out or blows up LOL I love this car...even better then all the mustangs I have had. I will never look at a ford again LOL
