That brings up another point. Several people have said that they pick their races carefully and that's why they haven't lost. If you know you're going to win, what fun is that? It's not the gambling that excites you, nor just the fact that you are racing fast cars, it's the plain and simple fact that you won a competition. That is unhealthy. I mean, there are several reasons why I haven't made my car into a 13 second car or a 10 second car, I could have, I definately have had the money at times to do just that. I guess to me, just having a car that is fun to drive and fun to race is enough to keep me happy. And I've got better things to spend my money on. I've also got things that I have to spend money on other than my car. And I'm proud of that. I'm proud that all of my earnings don't go into something that really doesn't mean all that much. Some of my best friends and the people I respect more than anyone drive minivans, nissan sentras, VW bugs. I have a lot of friends that drive mustangs and other ford cars, but who cares. Just because someone drives a ford doesn't mean they are a good person, and I'm not trying to piss anyone off, but I think that's been proven several times in this thread.
