    why is nitrous considered 'fake' speed?

    And I didn't even mention that as part of the regrets that I have. Lucky I didn't kill myself or someone else. Speeding, street racing, and making poor decisions in a way that was very dangerous. I'd love to say I kept things to the track, but I'd be lying. I will always look back on the foolish...

    why is nitrous considered 'fake' speed?

    You raise some very valid points. Hobbies can certainly help you establish relationships and become part of a "community." Certainly, if you are prudent in other financial areas -- a hobby can simply be a form of entertainment -- just like those with a custom home theatre, woodworking, RC...

    why is nitrous considered 'fake' speed?

    Looking back... almost 12 years later. Was I an arrogant prick or what? Very embarrassing to read this thread years later and see how immature and petty I was. At the time, I thought cars and racing were the pinnacle of all that life has to offer. Now, a little bit older and somewhat wiser I...

    YATT: Birmingham, AL

    Wow, did you ever luck out! I check AT about once every other week these days. Just happened to do so today after I made a few posts last week. I know quite a bit about Birmingham. I've lived here almost 30 years. Shoot me a PM telling me where you are staying and what your interests are. I...

    IB Extended Essay Topic

    I disagree with both of you. He should choose a topic that interests him, and that he is passionate about. His challenge will be to research the topic as a neutral participant, and put his cognitive biases away while attempting to create a convincing essay. This is an IB paper, so I'm assuming...

    Do you purposely try to do the opposite of your parents?

    To an extent. I always said I would never work the hours that my father worked. I also said I would never engage in a similar occupation. I literally have the exact same job type and role as he did (totally by sheer coincidence). In addition, I look very similar to him and it is off-putting to...

    What have you witnessed that shook you up?

    In person: April 27th 2011 -- Tornadoes in Alabama. Way too much to mention. Summer, 1991 -- Small plane crashed into our neighbor's house. December of 1991 my father dies in a plane crash. Internet crap: Thief having his arm hand cutoff in Colombia for stealing. I felt sick for...

    Spoiled by Amazon Prime shipping

    I would say it is not a good idea to insult someone's child or spouse. SandEagle was clearly trolling... I've been back on AT for all of 5 minutes and it is obvious he is one of the biggest trolls here.

    Long time no see

    Ironically I still have the Mustang. It hasn't been driven in about 3 years. 2000 Mustang GT with only 32k on the odometer -- and just 500 miles on the built engine and tranny. It is a millstone around my neck. I wish I'd have saved that money and invested it or kept it in savings!
