Ever watched a fishing show? Those guys catch a crap ton of big bass in 30 minutes! I mean like on every cast! Are you telling me that's not reality?
I feel so used.

If you are tuned into that world, you can isolate the real from the scripted easy enough. The racing is pretty much on point but even then, some of the drama is scripted.What?
What are you going to say next?
That reality TV shows are not reality?
Yeah, and a misdemeanor for driving on a suspended license? That seems backwards to me.Is it a felony to obstruct traffic without a motor vehicle?
Love it.I had a new 2006 Daytona, with the smaller 5.6l Hemi. But I had the same experience as you, rooster. We lived in the Chiraq suburb of Naperville at the time, and it seemed like every other day a soccer mom in her Honda Pilot, or high school kid in his Subaru Imprezza with fart can mods wanted to do the stop light 1/4 mile with me. Being old even back then, I politely refused. Most of the time.
The funniest thing was when a Karen before her time, driving some little Japanese **** box, was next to me at a red light. She looked at me, looked at my car, and *flipped off my car*. Double-barrel birds. Being the mature 50 year-old that I was back then, I let her creep ahead of me, at which time I maneuvered into here blind spot, slipped the GoManGo into neutral, and floored the accelerator. Between the full-throated roar of the Hemi, the cold air intake, and exhaust system modified to have nothing between the cat and the tips but some good old-fashioned Cherry Bombs, the roar was impressive. She almost poked a hole in her roof with her noggin as she jumped offa the seat. Then I smiled and waved buh-bye. I was so immature back then.
Probably 10 hours of filming to catch a handful of fish.I always wondered how they got the fish to agree to get caught so readily
When I was a wee lad of 20-ish, I was living up in Lafayette. I bought a 73 Nova with a junk 4 speed manual transmission (with a Hurst shifter) for cheap. Paid to have a new transmission put in, but then had to replace the shifter. I did that on my own, way before youtube. I made a mental note of where all the nuts were on the linkage and tried my best to reinstall them to the best of my memory. It worked!I travel that stretch of highway between I-74 and I-69 regularly. When travelling northbound (and probably southbound too) look closely at the pavement near the I-70 interchange. There are burnout doughnuts that span all the lanes. I imagined these were laid at 3am on a Wednesday, but maybe not?
Broke dead even after 1 year and 30k miles. Personally I put that one in the win column.You sold your tesla? Make a profit?
Way more fun, even with just the 5.7 it’s a blast. Also I bought it used and I got a sneaking suspicion that it’s far from stock.So, even though the Tesla was way faster I’ll bet the RT is way more fun.
Same issue in the M5. After a while all you can do is laugh.On the subject of street racing; I’ve recently gotten an almost new Dodge Challenger RT. Everyone acts stupid when they get next to that car. I got moms in mini vans and kids in civics trying to run me off the line.
It’s obnoxious, especially when 2 minutes ago they were the slowpoke clogging 465.
Never had this problem when I had a Tesla (which was way faster).
Oh yeah? Well I've got a Hyundai Elantra Touring! And it's vintage. 2011.I've never been hassled when driving the Charger, people are usually just to busy looking maybe. View attachment 178080
A full 465 lap is something like 62 miles on the inner lane and 71 miles on the outer lane.Been going to the 500 for years. Thought that for a promotion similar to carb day, close 465 and let them run a few laps. Less than 10 laps and you could have the whole 500 miles in!

Honestly I've never understood not wanting to race at the track. I get the whole street is a no prep surface thing. And yes I played a little bit in the streets when I was in my youth but not much. Just too much liability and too much to lose if something goes wrong.IRP just west of Clermont Ind.
Every Wednesday night is streetcar night. Run what ya brung.
It's safe. Ambulance is on site for the duration. Great 1/4-mile facility.
Most of those who run out on the interstates have no desire for anything resembling an organized event. Rules/safety etc do not entice those guys at all.
They will make it clear that it's not scripted. However, everyone is encouraged to talk trash and let their passion for the sport show on tv.If you are tuned into that world, you can isolate the real from the scripted easy enough.
