I don't even have a driver's license, let alone a car. But I do enjoy a good racing game. An generally I like the styling of sportscars. _________________ ~ Let us be reasonable ~

Not terribly big into it. I usually watch the Indy series, and have been to the Indy 500 twice a couple years ago. I was just at the Nascar race in Dover last weekend, but that was working a concession stand as a favor to my dad.
All the high school kids around where I live go to a local strip and drag race. Most are just annoying douchebags who drive shitty cars, jacked up with some engine upgrades, Nos, and a loud exhaust and sound system. _________________ "The very existence of flame throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.' - George Carlin

By the way, I really hate some of the 'chav cars' that are here in the UK: cars with garish paint colours, loud exhaust systems and so on.

I'm not into racing but our old car was pretty fun. Now we have a Honda Fit which is a great car for what we need. It's hard to carry kayaks and gear in a soft top 2 seater.

I think I'm the only guy from Indy that isn't a racing fan. Two of my uncles were photographers for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. They both took me to time trials for the 500 multiple times as a kid. They new so many of the drivers, so, as a kid, I got to meet AJ Foyt, Rick Mears, and Mario Andretti. But I never went to the actual race. I never could get that excited about racing. Watching cars going around in a big circle just never excited me. But I can definitely appreciate the driver's talent and the science behind the safety and peformance of a race car. _________________ He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line

I've raced my Lincoln against some of the calmer imports in town and normally I come out ahead.. but with a 5,085 and only 340 horses stock it's not going anywhere to fast and she sure as hell cant pass a gas station. _________________ http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/1956/51810958sc2.jpg

Well, I've seen Pinks All Out: Shreveport twice now, and Papaw used to race. Never really been exposed to it. _________________ Kimberly (HSBUH) aka
