    I like very clean lined cars, Not to over done and easy on the eyes. I am not really into wild conversions, etc... To me something simple and clean is my fav.

    In my time on IA I have tried:

    Show
    Drag
    Mountain Run
    Drifting
    Road Course

    and by far I love each and every one of them. I dont hate.


    but by far, Ive caught the drift bug and will be involved with that for a while!

    mountain run seems like the most enjoyable to me. As far as cars go, a simple lip kit can make most cars look great. Nothing gaudy or "xtreme", etc. No buzzbomb mufflers please. Almost any car can have a decent sounding exhaust if done properly.

    I used to be all about the go and no show, but
    now I really don't prefer one thing more than the other cause it's just fun as hell

    I just go for a physically clean car with no rust. Preferably one color. Then I slap some wide wheels, suspension and a powerfull motor in it and call it the day. I drive these around whether it be school, kroger, party, out of state trip etc. I indulge my self in pleasure of driving it/them around. It's a 1000 car with 10,000 in modifications, but I cant spend the $1 for a sponge and dishwashing soap nor have the patience to was the car. I guess its an expensive beater. Doesnt make much sense but thats what it is. I dont drag,drift, touge etc. I drive it around like your mom drives her car around, but just faster.

    hm, clean car - it has to have the looks

    but

    being built up needs to be necessary too

    but not too much of both ( ie. not a trailer queen or an unreliable dragster 500whp )

    those clean daily drivers that have some of both worlds

    I love nice cars/wagons/SUVs with big deep dish wheels. 22's, 23's, 24's, 26's, 28's! The more chrome the better!
    I also love fast fucking cars too. Honda's don't do much for me so I tend to like more muscle, German, Lamborghini's and Ferrari's.

    I like to head to the strip and go down the twisties. i would rather have a balanced car than one that is dominate in one area. but i must admit, i enjoy just sitting around BSing with people just as much. Put any two of those together and i will be there.

    We need some sort of matrix to determine how much of each one you are. I'm a mix of these, specifically in this order:

    Mountain Runs: (i like the twisties)
    AutoX: (put the car to the test)
    Time Attack: (i like racing the clock)
    Drag: (i live my life a 1/4 at a time)
    Show: (i like the bling/jdm)

    Once I get a 240 or another RWD car, I'll try a throw a lil drifting into the mix, just to see what the hell the hype is about.
