Life is hard... Having only two cars and, even worse, only being able to drive one of them? Man, you got it rough...

put it towards your sky high insurance and stop street racing. Did the guy in the Evo get bagged as well?

i was the only one. i was in a convoy of about 14 other cars, all imports, and we were all screwing around on the freeway. i pulled one of the "fast" evo's, and then i went to their fastest car and he only beat me by about 1/4 car and then i looked behind me to see the red and blue. the chp said i was lucky he wasnt arresting me for racing, and said next time i would never see my car again. im thinking about getting a truck to keep me out of trouble

Rather than a truck, I would suggest that a little maturity would serve you better.

save the 4000 and when you get older pull the mustang out of storage and put a KB on it.

i agree, i have tried and passed up many many races for fear of cops, and the one night i dont race at the track i get busted. the closest track that is worth going to is pomdale, ca. that is still about an hour away so i cant get out there as much as i wish. the kb is too expensive for me, i was looking at the novi 2000 mongoose kit because of the reputation and the extras that come with it.

Don't act like you've never street raced

You're just not allowed to

i did once. after that I realized how ****ing stupid it is and havent since. Maybe I was trying to fit in with some new friends I met, what a dumb reason that was If I remember correctly, I said NO about 20 times amidst the constant "come on you know you want to" etc....
