When your stranded 300 miles away from home because an air strut blew out all the sudden with no signs or warnings before a trip .. I never did forgive her for that..

When you maintain full eye contact with the people who are staring at your car as you drive by just because you know your badass

When your bad to the ****en bone burnout ends with a horrific 10 second belt squeel

Belt wrap kit completely eliminates that.

I've got a burnout video that has that nasty squeal at the end.

lol... I do the same thing too... The other day I was cruising on the highway and I happen to notice a beautiful white F10 M5 from a distance so I sped up to it hoping we could get some runs in or I could just hear him take off, but the guy was a bit older and into driving in the slow lane 10mph slower than everyone else

The good !!

When you take a customer who owns a v12 Aston and he steps out of the car shaking his head saying that's just not right.

when you run a 997 turbo and keep up with him and he looks at you while shaking his head saying that's just not right.

when you look down and your doing 175 mph in a 70 mph zone (in mexico of course)

The Bad !!

when your engine goes "Boom, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle" from running too much boost

when your pulley fly's off while doing a hard 140 mph pull from a bad install

When you wake up in the morning and the chassis rails are sitting on the ground

When just flooring it takes you from obeying the speed limit to go directly to jail speeds in 2-3 seconds.

When a guy pulls up, thumbs up you and says, "Hey nice race!!!"

AND YOU HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT!!!

Yup, really happened. On cell phone years ago and gave it bout 1-4 to 1/2 throttle from a red light. Guy was in some 6 banger pontiac.

Good times.
