so very true. the thing that i have learnt, thankfully, the easy way; i used to ponder about heavy modifications, not so long ago- inspired from the drag meets, and from the world around me; but then, realisation dawned on me - 10 second cars are not easily made, and certainly not easily maintained. which means, that you have to keep a seperate car for all the "mods", besides your regular cars, and more often than not, the 10-second car in question spends 90% of it's life in the workshop, 9% in the garage, and 1% on the road...

the point being; what ananth said...
