I agree, but only to an extent. I feel like there's a line you cross when the "aggravation you are prepared to put up with" means that you can't complete a night of cruising without bringing a pit crew, full supply of fluids, spare parts and a full size tool box. I mean, there is a difference between guys pushing big hp cars on the street that need frequent rebuilds/frequent gas stops and cars that flat out can't handle normal street driving without breaking parts/overheating/busting up the ultra light weight chromoly front end on a mild pothole.

I mean it's definitely subjective, I know guys who say they have street cars because they drive it 10 minutes to the cruise night parking lot.
