That's a stretch. I can't think of too many guys in stock dodge caravans taking out someone in a corvette :Q

within reason it is absolutely true
someone in a stock civic could blow past a stock prelude if the prelude's driver doesn tknow what he/she is doing

i prefer a smaller, nimbler car with more finesse than brute power. NOTE: I said PREFER, not that finesse is absolutely better than power.

Since when has Ferrari ever been used as a benchmark for fast cars? What is your neck of the woods? Your local remedial English night class?

millenium what the hell is your problem?
there are some rice rockets that your POS ford cant hang with, does that bother you? i dont have one, but then again, my current car is a complete piece of sh!t. (my accord was totalled about 3 weeks ago, now i'm driving an 89 mazda 626, complete crap)
the point of my post was:

I could just leave that to you. Learn a little please and then come back, because right now your rambling thoughts about this and that really make you look bad. BTW, did you look into that class yet? I believe it starts at 7:30 PM.

Is non-standardization between yellow and white for taillights really a problem? It's not like people aren't going to be able to tell it's a turn signal if it's white as opposed to yellow.
