Is this why you didn't reply to my lowering question when we talked about my stripes?

I think allot of the "rice" stuff is the fault of the big 3.

As there was a time when a fake dual exhaust and stick on hood scoops or fake side vents were lame.

Then the big 3 started using them.

The "cat back" dual exhaust system which are just fake duals cause they are to cheap to install 2 cats.

Along with the rash of peel n stick fake hood scoops used by the big 3.

Made that ubar lame stuff ok now cause production cars came with it.

[ The only fake side vents allowed in the real car world are Buick port holes, which even Buick has messed up on the port hole rules.

Even HD has lost it touch. Guy at my old work came in bragging one day about his $18000 HD he just bought and thought there was nothing wrong with the sun warped fake plastic tank bra it came with instead of a real leather one. For around 20Gs used.

Normally its 10, but it gets bumped to 20 if you have forged pistons for your rota

Funny is you could almost prove that stickers make a car faster per a said drivers perception by taking normal folks and put them in racing like situations. 2 identical cars, 1 stock, 1 riced up. Id bet a normal person would just have more confidence in the car all done up where the person in the stocker might not think its ok to push it that far. Hence making it “faster” the same can go for that HS ricer, that says his Neon is now faster with a whale wing and stickers. Those ego boost mods have him more willing to take it all out.

[Normal as in regular folks not like us, who will take a rental car on a motocross track and break all boundary limits.]

People’s perception does change their performance.

Shop / Physics teacher use to show us those tricks.

Have someone stare at a red object and their arms straight out are hard to push down.
Have them stare at a yellow one and even though they/you feel like your trying to hold them up just as hard, your easily overpowered. [Doesn’t matter which order you do them in.]

That's interesting, but it still wouldn't change the performance of the *car.* It would change the performance of the driver.

I completely and categorically reject this sentence as a falsehood. I always *LISTEN,* I just go on & do whatever the hell I wanted to do in the first place anyway.
