+1 yFor the most part, I think it's kind of silly. Okay, your car can do 250 miles an hour- where the heck are you going to be able to DO that? Even if you're on the autobahn, the other cars CAN'T match your speed, even if the drivers are willing.
If you're going to soup up a car's speed, it should be something underpowered or otherwise disadvantaged. A good choice would be an AMC Gremlin. It was a car from the 70's that was ugly as sin, but its main competition was the Chevorlet Vega, which was basically made of compressed rust, and the Ford Pinto, which freaking exploded, so it was by far the best of the bunch.
As a bonus point, if you manage to make it zoomy enough to impress women, you've earned bragging rights for the next few lifetimes. "ANYBODY can get girls with a Ferrari," you'll be able to think, "only *I* could bring them in with a vehicle so ugly that venomous snakes flee from it in terror!".

+1 yI can respect it! It is a lot of fun to drive a souped up car. The thing is it is dangerous and they often pout their girlfriends in as much danger when they are speeding and flirting and all. I wouldn’t if I was a guy with a smoking hot girlfriend… but that’s just me.

As long as it's not at the expense of their relationships and responsibilities and as long as they're not doing it to compensate for something else in their life, fine. Have fun. And more power to them... not sure I'd be bold enough to something to my car.

Hahhaha he isn't exactly a bad boy at everything. his personality is great the only thing that makes him a bad boy is street racing. Its illegal af
+1 yUnless it’s an older hot rod of some kind it’s kinda juvenile in my opinion. Seems like a lot of guys put an exhaust on that only makes it louder and not faster which is even more lame lol. Ever see like a 2004 Honda with wings on it lmao. Guy will have a tachometer on the dash and nitrous stickers on the window. So cheesy

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yIt's mostly retarded.
If you want your car to be fast then buy a car which goes fast from the factory.
The is only one legitimate reason for doing this and that is if you need your car to be able to go fast but without drawing any attention to yourself, for example if you are running drugs or something of this nature.
019 Reply- +1 y
My boyfriend isn't a drug dealer and still had a modified and fast car
Opinion Owner+1 yThe problem is that you end up spending more money for an inferior product.
That's stupid and you wouldn't do it with anything else.
Cosmetic alterations are not to my taste but not wrong in the way that technical or mechanical alterations are, cosmetic is self expression etc.
Messing around with the setup of the car is almost exclusively simply a bad idea because you can't just go dumping a load of power into something that wasn't designed to handle it, sure you can waste more of your time and money fitting lowered suspension and shitty polycarbonate bushes etc but all you are going to do is destroy the ride and make the vehicle impractical.
And of course you need brakes too and the other perhaps over looked aspect is that modifying your car will either invalidate your insurance if you didn't declare it or you will end up paying a ridiculous premium.
So nothing about it makes any sense.
Just buy something which was designed from the beginning to do the job you want it to do.- +1 y
Have you see the videos i said in the update? The top greek thing
Opinion Owner+1 yI hadn't but I have now.
No doubt you will want to dismiss this as boring shit that old people say but what is going on there is you have created a culture where people are encouraged to drive beyond their ability in cars with questionable handling, because they have been modified and not necessarily with any degree of care, knowledge or skill.
There are other road users there and you people are doing drag races over pedestrian crossings etc.
You dont have insurance because you aren't allow to do that shit on the road so if you crash into someone no one is protected.
You all think its fine because you are too young and stupid to know that bad shit isn't just something that you hear about happening to other people it can happen to you too.
So sooner or later someone is going to get really hurt, because thats what happens.
There is nothing cool about any of that but sure, carry on rewarding and validating this behaviour with sex etc.
Maybe you will get lucky, maybe not but if something does happen the blood will most certainly be on your hands, so I hope you are prepared to live with that, it could be with you for a long time.- +1 y
First of all he drives on roads with no pedestrians. At 2-3 am when all people sleep so no one will be killed
- +1 y
He is a good driver by the way and has never been in accidents... and how am i validating this behaviour with sex?
Opinion Owner+1 ySee what I mean?
You actually believe that this clearly dangerous activity is not dangerous.
Reality disagrees with you and there are plenty of statistics out there, just go and look it up.
Your boyfriend is not 'a good driver', good drivers don't do that shit that is part of what makes them 'good drivers'.
Your boyfriend is infact 'a bad driver'.
I understated things earlier when i said 'you have created a culture where people are encouraged to drive beyond their ability'
What I should have said is 'you have created a culture where people are under extreme social pressure to drive beyond their ability'
Women are attracted to the status.
Quote: 'it's so hot!!!'
So, this is how you are validating this behaviour.
You can shoot the messenger if you like but it won't alter reality.- +1 y
Well, when i first met him i also thought it was immature and dumb, that it's dangerous and that he should stop doing this shit but after months of being in a relationship with him i understood that it's just his hobby which got him out of his depression. He drives really well i see it he is in control of his car. He raced with a very fast car , my boyfriend car is heavier than the other car, and that other car is a professional car. And he literally passed that car. No one before my boyfriend could do this. I think he in fact is a good driver
Opinion Owner+1 yAs I say, reality disagrees with you.
- +1 y
That will never change the way i see my boyfriend and his hobby though. He is a very nice guy. To be honest, i am happy i met him. He changed me for the best. I became more intelligent, more sophisticated, more independent. Not that I wasn't but now i am better than i was before. I will never stop him from doing what he loves. It won't be right. He isn't trying to change who i am so why should i do this to him? I love this guy. Ok? I know car racing is illegal, i know it's dangerous but it's still very cool and few guys do this. He himself understands that this hobby is like a virus it's very easily transmitted. I agree with that because now i myself am into cars lol, never was before.
Opinion Owner+1 yYou wanted to know what I thought.
I think you are both grossly irresponsible muppets and people like you cause the death of others.
Right now the most likely cause of your death is your boyfriend.- +1 y
If you knew him personally you wouldn't think that way😌 have a nice day!!
Opinion Owner+1 yKnowing him wouldn't alter reality.
You are just making excuses because you dont want to accept the truth.
As I say, you may well be responsible for someones death soon or be dead yourself.
These are the facts and I dont care if you dont like them.- +1 y
And the truth is? I spoke to him about that and he said he doesn't want to stop doing this. So yeah. So why should i press him to do something he doesn't want to stop doing
Opinion Owner+1 yThe truth is that showing off is more important to you than your own lives but much more importantly, other peoples lives.
How is it that you cannot see what an unbelievable assholes you have to be trying to defend your indefensible position?
Don't bother, I will tell you, again, it is because you are young and stupid and you don't think it will happen.
You dont respect the danger and you dont respect the rights of other people, the ones being put at risk so that you can play silly fucking games.- +1 y
Sweetheart, i am in no way trying to make an argument with you because you are a very nice person and i agree with everything you say it's definitely immature and sad ok? Yeah we get it. It doesn't stop being sexy though. Few men see cars more than just a vehicle which transfers you from city to city. And it happened to be my boyfriend who is one of those car enthusiasts! He has many great qualities and I can't just break up with him over this trivial thing especially since his car isn't even that fast yet it's just 250 horsepower. I talked to him about that today and he said he will be more careful because he cares about my safety. His car has many airbags anyway it has one in the doors in the front seats for those who seat behind and in front of me and him there are also airbags! It's a very safe car. I just hope he will grow up from this phase because i really don't want to lose him inna car accident because of his hobby

Its fun to build for looks, sound or performance. Nothing wrong with that, even if it costs more.
Using regular or tuned cars on public city streets, even at night for shenanigans isn't all that great. There are abandoned parkinglots, airfields, race tracks etc for this kind of place. - +1 y
