Is this fun? ---> redneck reving engine of his glass pack dual exhaust pickup right at the moment his car is closest to you. he wants you to race. he might not have all his teeth. he might think 8th grade was senior year.
Is this fun? ---> people you never met in your life wanting to tell you what mod to do on your car
and the people telling you what to do to your car for some reason are the same people who don't own/won't ever be able to own a car like yours (fun to get advice from every loser on the street?)
other things that happen to your car you don't know about:
when you drop it off at a shop to be fixed, someone (who can't afford a car like yours) probably will drive it around and flog it. (Oh I need to go test drive the customer's car to verify the alignment is good). You don't want to know what they did to your car. (Is it fun to have to worry about this?)
I watched a mechanic pop the clutch on my car when I went to have an alignment. Instead of getting upset, I just reminded myself that I got what I deserved when I bought a pony car.
Have fun !

Yup - I've experienced all of the above ('cept the clutch business).
Even though my vehicle has "sleeper" looks (yup - it's been called everything from a cavalier to a G6…) I still get some attention I really don't want. After all, Southern California is a hotbed for ricers and they seem to think that I want to race…
