is the USA car scene really like fast and the furious?
 

im a kiwi so i wouldnt know, but do you guys acctually have the underground racing for money thing going? is everyones cars riced up to the max so that it slows their standard underpowered car down? does the real cool guy talk real slowly and in general is a bad actor and seems intilectually impaired??

NOS and jumping bridges?

Nice quote from Fight Club.

Norton is an amazing actor. Just watched primal fear last night.

Actually, the real underground racers have jet propelled engines, that produce thousands of horsepower. :)








































I really have no idea

LOL

I know of a few people that have raced for a couple hundred, but for the most part where I live there are just dumb kids reving at stop lights to see who has the loudest mellon-shooter.

Of course there are people that race for money, but I think that happens in areas with high densities of imports obviously, i.e. SoCal. There was actually a show on MTV True Life called "I'm a Street Racer" and it showed the guy in his Honda running for cash.
