Why is everyone bragging about who they smoked???or raced???

Just on a curiousity. Why is everyone bragging about who they smoked???or raced??? WHy not brag about the system they got in their car, or the DVD player, or doing trick with the car??? The only acura that are really meant to race is the RSX(integra) and the NSX anyways. TL , CL are pretty quick, but seriously there are not too many parts out there to fix it up anyways. So can anyone list here on this thread something else to brag about other than who they raced and beat or lost?? Pics will be great.

I think it's hilarious when a kid in a tricked out Civic or Accord thinks just because they threw on a cold-air intake, put on 18" rims, installed a fart cannon and mounted a huge wing on the trunk that their car is fast.

Anyway, welcome to the internet, where anyone can post whatever they like... reality or fiction.

The simple thing is that everyone on here loves speed and racing, but not everybody can afford an nsx or wants to be driving around the small rsx all the time. How about I grab my dad's 34' Ford with a 351 Cleveland, we meet at a track, I kick your ass, and then I come back and bragg about the frenched headlights?

good thing about TL is that you can fix it up so much cleaner than most cars with more part choices even if there aren't many parts available for the TLs.

Racing can happen everyday...I doubt anyone can get new products for their system everyday and brag about it...

Example: omg! today I did a huge a$$ donut in front of Wal-Mart parking lot...it was so much fun!!! I will definately do it again sometime...(how does this sound to you?)

would this something worth bragging for? or...beating competitive drivers/ cars be worthier?

p.s. if you dislike the way people brag about their everyday race experiences...why don't you brag about your NSX? its something to brag about...is it not?

No, not dislike the way people brag about their everyday race experiences at all. I like it. The reason for this post is just saying most of the brag is about who they raced. So I was just wondering, in bragging rights why people don't brag about other things. You did wheely in front of Wal-Mart?? Wow, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard in a while. You should do it in front of Albertsons where they are striking. hahah. lol

Oh, sorry about that. In that case, just attach it... there's a section titled "Attach file" near the bottom when you're posting a message.
