Keep telling yourself that, and whatever else helps you sleep at night

It’s never over. Show me a guy who’s going 8.50’s for a couple years and I’ll show you the same guy wanting to go quicker

nope. Don't know what you're talking about. I'm not addicted. no sir.

I have always told people though, if you have children, raise them with a "car habit". Then they won't have any money for drugs.. lolz

Legend is that step 12 involves enjoying massive amounts of adrenaline while breaking records but NO parts. No one has gotten there yet
