gsg is not about drama. It's for people who don't have aim at work.
I see this thread as e-thuggin at it's finest.

I like all the people trying to have "the fastest car in SRIC" that ***** about blowing up motors.
News flash: Race cars break parts. A lot. And then some more. You want a reliable car? Leave it alone. You want a race car? Then STFU when it breaks.
I swear, the SRIC isn't worth visiting anymore thanks to the constant bickering around here, and it's all the same asshats saying the same crap. Get over yourselves.

I'm sorry, but John was NOT babying that car. He was also drag racing it in July, when he was "babying" the car up to 2000 miles. I'm not saying he shouldn't have been out there racing, but don't say he babied the car and let his grandmother drive it to keep it from going over 4k rpm when he posted publicly that he was racing.
