Well it's not so much ambition as it is "that guy is faster than me, I have to do something about it" rather than, who cares there will always be someone faster.

Again were talking about cars that were raced for sport and money not braggin rights it wasn't about just about losing a race to a mustang it was about losing the finals to a car he despised

Did that car do something bad to him in his life?
Was it like a revenge thing?

So, enlighten us. How does a 21 year old kid with the apparent grammar skills of an middle-schooler and the punctuation skills of a 1st grader earn 60 large. Based on the fact that the majority of your posts occur in the middle of prime work hours, you either don't work in a business that cares about your productivity or, you don't work at all.

I know I am making a lot of assumptions here. Hopefully, you can prove me wrong. (BTW, I don't own or drive a Mustang, let alone a Shelby.)

Because we're looking out for our "interests," so to speak. There's tons of bad, misleading, and flat out wrong information being posted about our car here. This thread being just on example. And even after we've proven it to be wrong, the OP still hasn't corrected the title or deleted the thread altogether. Most of us are here only to keep information about our car correct. Nothing more.

Should I really care about my grammer and punctuation on the net, its not like Im writing a business letter here and if I was I have a secretary for that. And have you ever heard of an android? They're powerd by google you know so obviously they have internet access and I can get on here at work during my down time. I work in construction as a foreman and yes for my family but I started out at $8 an hour doing all the small frustrating jobs and worked my way up just the same as anyone else and before you want to adt like I got there so fast bc I work for my family you should know I've been offered jobs making slightly more than I make with my family but turned them down. Regardless of where my money came from I worked for it the same as anyone and it shouldn't matter that I work for family because if you tell me that if some one offered you the chance to stand up prove yourself and eventually take over a company that made 500k just last month that you would pass it up so you could say "I did it on my own" I will tell you that you're a liar.

Why do you care though? Id rather be underestimated it makes 90% of things easier when the other guy already thinks he's better.

Got it. I did find this:

Collins Construction Co. in Portland, TN is a private company categorized under Industrial Buildings and Warehouses. Our records show it was established in 1965 and incorporated in Tennessee. Current estimates show this company has an annual revenue of $1 to 2.5 million and employs a staff of approximately 1 to 4.

(Note to self. Do not hire the company that has this guy as its foreman. He spends more time on his android replying to/checking in on internet message forums than he does managing his business/employees.)

All I got from that was: I have a secretary so my ignorance towards proper spelling, grammar and punctuation is perfectly acceptable because I'm shielded by the internet. For god sakes Siri has a better grasp of the English language, and she's a damn phone.
