That’s a very romantic notion but why are you so intent on boasting about the car at every opportunity and bigging it up all the time? You absolutely relish telling the internet about cars you beat in races, your dyno results etc.
There is a rule of thumb about boasting about your car on the internet. I’m getting the feeling you’re like 22 and this is the first car like this you’ve owned so you may not know this rule.
If you talk up your car using stuff like races nobody else saw (and no video) and dyno numbers (especially when they’re retarded), someone, maybe a lot of people, will stand up and say PROVE IT.
Don’t get so offended when they do. It’s the way of the Internet. It shuts down the scammera and bullshitters. At a car meet for street racers this is the equivalent of the guy who talks mad shit but then won’t race anyone when guys challenge him…then he says ‘I’ve got nothing to prove’. Yes you do, you’ve got to prove all that shit you just said.
If you don’t have to prove anything to anyone, why are you talking so much and trying to convince everyone how great it is?
So you have three choices
-
Continue status quo by talking and having guys challenge you to prove it while you refuse…Kinda like Jerry Seinfeld ‘I choose not to run!’. Just don’t get so mad when guys call you out and don’t act so confused with a ‘why is everyone picking on me???’ face on.

Take it to the strip and show a timeslip

Take it down a notch and stop bigging up the car. I thought you had nothing to prove to anyone?
