100% agreed..

I'm also hurting here in this BS economy and living in NYC only makes things worst... I will never sell my Rx7 or Rx3, I'm in-love with them, however I don't mind parting with my Rx2.. I believe things are about to get a lot worst pretty soon, so I will sell out my Rx2 and spare engine parts that I have no use for, so I can have some pocket change incase Obama's plans don't work out

If they decide to close down Atco or Etown, I will probably slit my wrist... Life will be useless without those tracks

I also agree, I don't have alot of money right now but I manage to scrape enough up and take my car at least once a month or more to the dragstrip and embarrass some v8's, hehe. Just because there's not alot of events going on right now doesn't mean you can't get some friends and go to the track and have some fun. Why does one need events to have a reason to go to the track? Why not go just because you wanta go and have some fun with friends? It's ok to do other hobbies and interests, but to quit cold turkey and hang the helmet up? NOT ME

Stubborn as a mule? What haven't I done that you have recommended? Lets see the things that you have helped me out with that I have done..... rearend and gears, trans., driveshaft, wheels and tires, starter, etc. THe only thing that I haven't done is remove my front sway bar and install limiting straps because I need to fab up some things to make that happen and I am in the process of doing the easy things and getting my car to run good first. Dammit.... you hispanics are touchy little bastards aren't you??? :: Will it make you feel better if I put a sticker on my car that says, " Manny Vidal Motorsports"?

^ This is some funny **** Manny and his shadow trying to talk **** on me when I'm the only one that has a car running down the track.
Look how big Teddy's ***** get when he's talking **** with his master.
Teddy, lets see a timeslip buddy, lets see a timeslip. Or better yet how about a video. You're not afraid of a little ol 12a are you? **** I dont' even have a turbo. It's not even worth my gas to drive all the way over to Barona and race you and your Fred Flinstone mobile. - Get it?... push....push...

WTF is going on with Cali? It has been raining for over 3 days now! It's the end of the world. Damn, I froze my *** off in the shop today. Concrete and metal on a cold day = meatlocker. How's the weather in your neck of the woods?
