Naz, buying stock cars and not doing anything to them or with them is not considered a hobby.....

Your right. It's called being an old man who has other "hobbies" to invest their money in. Like a wife. :lol:

did about 6 autoX in the year i owned my integra, went to a couple of lapping days on my EX500 and WRX when i had em.. so far with the new bimmer 2 lapping days, another coming up end of june and around 1 per month after that.. working on getting my competition license so i can do time attack
does being a moderately heavy track user count as a hobby? :)
like i said before i keep my cars stock so they can reliably handle the heat of sustained high rpm hard driving, and so i can focus on improving my driving without having to worry about car setup or car reliability

And the 42" plasma is like a hi-tech sticker but better and thus adds way more horsepower :lol:

Didn't he have the cosworth head on there before it even hit the market (according to the magazine article anyways...)?
btw.. anyone ever see a dyno chart since August '05?

Exactly my point. Naz is much more of a track enthusiast than me, but I consider myself much more of a 'tuner' than him.
Nothing wrong with either.

Didn't I hear that car was your mom's? How is she anyway?
And didn't I hear you applied for a job at Ford? On the assembly line?
Sounds like you want to be more like me. :D

Dan's focus is long gone, I believe the final blow was a tow-hitch going through the rad into the block.

The Lotus Elise is still only 170HP plus they only start at 42g so there nothing really to brag about. My dad's been on a waiting list for a year with the dealer in BC.

The BMW and Sky are mine. Then the rest are just shared/family cars which stay in Arizona. My dads got a Z06 and Mom just picked up a new 2008 Focus.
Wouldn't say rich though LOL
