Well, I guess I found out what kind of people read this board. Sorry to bring it up guys, I guess no one can understand the dignity in loss. I've had my share of wins at the track and on the street, I love winning as much as the next guy, but I don't enjoy listening to a bunch of bragging hot heads rant about how badass their car is. But it's not the guys who talk big about their cars that really get me, it's the people who talk down about other peoples cars. Seriously, why does your car have to beat everyone elses for it to be fun for you? The only reason I want my car to go faster than it was from the factory is because I enjoy working on it and I enjoy the feeling when I turn the key after having the engine completely apart and it starts right up and I go out and hammer the throttle and feel the seat trying to push it's way out from under me. I don't have the money to spend to make my car the fastest out there, but at least I'm happy with it even though I lose more races than I win. I guess a lot of you guys are wondering why I would post this here. Probably because I wanted to see if anyone on this page could see where I was coming from. I guess not. I just want to know why you guys always have to be better than someone else. Insecurity possibly? All of you guys who say second place is last, what do you do when you lose? Do you go shoot yourself? I mean really, you've failed!!! You didn't win, oh my god!!! Oh that's right I forgot, you never talk about losing so it probably never happens right? I don't care what anyone else says, it shows a hell of a lot more character to lose with dignity than to win and brag. And I'd rather hang out with someone who never wins and tells everyone than who wins all the time and brags their *** off.
