but we dont know if those people do anything with the cars...the guy who spends the whole time in his garage might be running a meth lab for all we know...
ive seen people on other forums who rant and rave about their cars, and they drive things like an almost stock 1st gen stratus sedan, with rims and a bunch of tacky interior trim paint work...the car looks like crap, and everything is poorly done, and even then, the stuff that they do shouldnt take up so much of their time...someone being a bumbling idiot, who spends hours in the garage trying to figure out how to change their brake pads doesnt impress me...and it shouldnt impress anyone else either. on the other hand, if these guys are all driving in fully dressed up cars with built engines...whether for drag racing or a dyno queen, at least thats something...
my hockey equipment spends alot of time sitting in the garage, but that doesnt mean that its making my cars faster...
