Default How Many Drive Your Cars???

Hey guys, I just got a couple of pics back from when I went up to the mountains for a mountain run this past fall. Here are a few pics. I love taking my car out and running it either at the track, road courses or in the mountains. If there is anytime or an event where I can get a chance to test/push the performance of the Lex I'm in.

I was wondering how many of you guys, actually runyour cars? I see a lot of people have high performance parts, and mods on their car and all. How many of you do it just for show and leave the performance for the coupes? Personally, I love speed and driving so my cars have to be able to perform.

I dont track my car. My car is too slow and I only have suspension mods that are enough for daily driving. Not to mention, I have NO confidence in my brakes.

Unfortunately I don't have any more pics during the mountain run. I just have some video clips; I'll try to get them and post some. I can look at them all day too man.

i tend to drive the gs400 with a lead foot on the street, no track usage though it's too slow and not very well balanced. i used to do PCA events with the porsche, but two kids in the last 3 years = no time....

I actually haven't taken my car through a mountain run yet but I would like too since I upgraded a lot of parts for the suspension already
