Oh, as far as hopping up your car, just do it if you want to!

As some people get older their priorities change and many seem to loose the interest in what made these cars desirable: the raw power that puts you into the seat and pitches your machine sideways as you grab for second gear. That's why the muscle car even exists. They weren't always "investments".

Do what you want, you only get one shot at being young and dumb. Time doesn't wait for anyone!

When I was your age (I'm 30) I had already broken a lot parts, crashed a few cars, and had a lot of fun going really fast!!
