Well let's see shall we? I just rebuilt my engine in my car. Instead of buying a new car, I used what I already had saving myself about $29,000. I know this is going to come as a complete and utter shock to you but new parts do take some time to break in. After that break in period, there are going to be some things that do need to be taken care of. Springs, rocker arm adjustments, etc. Yes I could leave them as is when I put the engine together in the first place but it will affect my performance and in the long run can affect the life of the engine
This car was built for street/strip, to be used for both applications. As I said, I got out of cars years ago, but my wife still loves it and I did this for her, per her request. I know this will probably confuse your suburbanite minivan mind but not all women have locked themselves into the mindset of 'cars are evil'
If you are using your car for something other than this, then yes, my answer is that someone is trying to compensate for something.
Appreciate that. Good lockstep you've got there. Agree with the masses or you're wrong? Down with individualism, drive a minivan or SUV? Do it for the children? Well you've apprently got us all locked into a little box like a good liberal (that is one of their trademarks you know, stereotyping). I think a 5 billion dollar a year business and the fastest growing sport in this nation dispels your myth it's all 'compensating'. And would my Southern manners allow me, I'd tell you exactly what I think. But I won't. Good day
