newcomer saying whats up

[mayhem148]

i just wanted to say whats up to everybody and give a matter of opinion.

i have tried to find interest in every type of motorsport there is. drag racing seems to be fun but you spend alot of money on a car and eventually you have an automobile that you cant drive on the street. dirt track racing is a money pit. open road racing and time trials would be cool but what would be the point of building a car when there is hardly anyplace to race. (i live in the south and its not real popular down here.) lowriders are cool for a little while but eventually that gets old. besides everybody has done just about everything with a lowrider. big 4wd are fun and chicks dig'em, but damn there alot of work. and break all the time. if i built motorcycles and choppers they would have to harleys. (nothing against japanese bikes.) choppers are expensive and for some reason i cant stay interested in them. i do like to ride and will always own a harley even if it doesnt run.
in my opinion pro touring is the best thing to happen to hotroddin. it has alittile bit of everything tied together to make something that can be driven daily and efficiently. you can go to the drag strip, then race on a circuit, leave the circuit and go grocery shopping then pick up the kids and go home. and probably do it on a full tank of gas if your FI is tuned right. not to forget your in an 30 year old car that can hang with an vette. and looks better.

i like the fact that after you build the car you can still use it for what it was originally intended for. Transportation. (well some of them anyway.)
