Why are you into cars?

beats drugs, alcohol, tobacco.

Have you been into cars your whole life or just reccently, could you explain why?

I think all people are into cars, it jus takes certain incidents to fuel that fire for, "love of cars". i'm no mechanic, i'm an artist first off, an I derive beauty and happiness from the sheer aspect of creation. music, art, sandwiches.. whatever.. I can't stand being normal or leaving things alone. I love to create, scheme, dream.. to shake up people's perceptions of beauty and to push the limits of what "possibility" actually is. my uncle is into cars, has a 69 Torino Gt, several choppers..really knows his stuff. Got into mustangs strictly through one incident, a high school buddy of mine took me for a ride in his GT..i was hooked. The sound, the look.. I knew i had to have one.

You like racing or are you just a fan?

some, strictly 1/4 mile. it jus seems more psychology and talent go into piloting 2000 horses down a thin strip of asphult at 300 mph..than goin around in circles for 500 laps.. but to each his own..

What type of racing do you like and why?
NHRA, IHRA, bracket racing.

If you street race what are the cautions of it and what are some stupid things you know people do?

the problems as old as cars themselves. ignorance. racing in heavy traffic, adverse weather conditions, limited visibility.. its sheer common sense, but people throw that out the window when it comes to the reputation of "pride". I don't provoke invitations. but its tempting tho. I'll wax you if you come lookin for a fight, but i'm not out lookin for trouble either. i got other things to do than waste the gas on humiliating the loser in a honda with the 80,000 watts of lights. theres no challenge there, an thus no great reward for obtaining the obvious.

What's you fav Domestic or Import?

domestic, we created this sport, these lil import kids need to respect the founders of true automotive performance. but I believe we are in the turning of the tide, the tuners, the industry. the business of automotive performance...its moving forward. the technology of import performace is truly amazing. its the future of our sport, due to the the depletion of worldwide oil as a commercial source of power, cubic inches will be replaced one day with something. its sad, but true...

but a Honda civic never was, has never been, or will ever be a race car.

You like rice cars, why?

no, the people who drive them usually are trying to imitate faster cars with real power, but are usually executed all wrong, stepping out side the relatively sound factory design for something god only knows what "beauty" means is in the eyes of the driver of the said vehicle. there are cars for track duty, show duty, an specialty competitions.. you can mix an match, but have to compromise in places for more of one said division.

You like rice people, why?

jerks are jerks, i don't care what you drive. the developing trend seems to be that the people who drive these abominations are imitating the popular culture, but lack the sufficent know-how, talent, or money to obtain the idea they have in their head of the "dream" car...i want to say that 90% of it has to do with money. other wise you'd see flocks of 8 second cars on the roads

Know any information about nitrous, you use it, what type
(wet/dry)? Your Pro/cons of different kits?

not really. i think its amazing technology. wet systems, solenoids, its gotten so high tech. i beleive the n20 when sprayed supercools the engine allowing for very cold dense air for combustion and thus more power. i 'd love it, i know. probably use it in combination with supercharging. its important you got a strong stout engine, drivetrain other wise it'll rip yer block apart peice by peice.


You modify your car, light, medium, or heavy?

as much as money allows. thats why its a hobby. your not supposed to get done fast. i think you plan to go heavy, but money is a huge factor. I try an concetrate on a specific area,(SUSPENSION, ENGINE etc.) obtaining parts and replace that entire area at one time. so your not backtracking when somthin goes wrong case like you forgot to put in a bigger MAf for that 70mm throttle body. you got to be smart about it, escpecially if its a daily driver, downtime sucks. it take fun away from DRIVING the car.

What are some of the best and worst products and why?

stay away from no name companies, and retail chains. you need to have a good reputation for said products. Diversified products Marketing, Brothers performance, Ford Racing Products, Bassani, Edelbrock, Saleen are real good. haven't really run into a bad company yet. buy from a specialty shop, not a retail chain.

That's all I have for now, also tell me is you want me to use your screen name, fake name or real name
