lots of people assume that if you make your car faster, you have to drive it faster.. more hp does not mean driving it faster

another thing people assume that if you make more hp, you need larger brakes.. as if you're holding throttle at wot while slowing down..

My grandparents talking to my family that is over at the house:

"Did you guys see his little sports car in the garage yet?"

lol I never even thought of my CRX as a sports car; more like a grocery-getter on 'roids.

I usually don't get hassled too much. I go through cars pretty fast and do my thing, it's nice not getting judged on how much money I spend or time I take with my vehichles.....they are MINE. Just got my sc300 and it's already on jack stands and will be for another month or so lol. Dad thought that was kinda funny/dumb, I just tell him I have to make it my own : P

DAD:

More parts?1 Like what?
Whatchya doin?

MOM:

So can you take me for a ride?
Is it fast?
When is your car going to be ready?

MOMS BF:

When we going to run (old automatic corvette, he'll get raped)?
When is the car going to be ready?

UNCLE: Car Guy

Nice car what's done to it?
How fast?

FREINDS:

When is your car going to be out?
Did you bring your car today?
You spent that much?


People who aren't into cars bother me with the stupid questions as they expect to be driven around and for it to be up and running all the time or NOW. I get sick of that the most and their lack of understanding with performance parts.

Someone should start a "Most common rumors about your turbo car" thread. I hear about those waaaaay more.

"This is all-motor now right?!"

"Dude, I hear he's selling the car."

"Wow, I thought it blew up."

"Yo, I heard that you ran a 15 in that thing."

"I heard he beat a Z28 on juice!" (Big fuggin' deal )

Yeah all the time at home my parents try raising the prices of things so it slows my project down. Like my dad: your cell phone bill this month is 80bucks you better get another job.

Mom: your car insturance went up 10bucks this month.
Sister: yeah you know you have to pay a storage fee to keep all those parts in the basement wtf.

Before taking my friends dad for a ride (who is really into V8 power)
--&gt;So you say this little four banger is fast?!
Me: Yeah its quick

After taking my friends dad for a ride (who is really into V8 power)
--&gt;Wow...I've never been in a car where the higher up in the rpm's you go the more the tires spin. Normally you don't hook up down low but yours you don't hook up when you're going 50mph.
Me: Ha...yeah is pretty cool.
