    You don't have to get along with everyone, and the people you don't hang out with aren't necessarily your enemies. Just pick and choose the crowd you want to surround yourself with.

    By being "shady" I mean approaching someone and acting as if you are going to tell them what you are running, but in reality it's a bit more.

    Someone coming up and saying "Hey, wanna run my Mustang? It's just got a pulley swap, exhaust, tune. Should be a high 11 second car" When in reality they have a 150 shot on the car, running on race gas, and have run 10.5's before at the track. Or, the same person asking for a race....but then acting like they have no clue how fast the car is.

    There are people who choose not to share their mods, and there are people who don't mind doing so. Then you have that other group of people who try to play down their car or act like it's something that it's not. Those people actually aggravate me FAR more than the ones who are up front and let you know they don't disclose the work they've had done to their car.
