I like to see cars that are "moded" and that do get driven, unlike 98% of the cars that get put on the back of a trailer and taken to the shows; they might as well just put a pile of money on the ground and say "this is what I would have spent"
I know that there are a lot of talented people doing really great work but if it isn't being used what is the point, I would rather see a $250,000 top fueler do a 5 second run then look at a "car" that has had $300,000 spent on it just to look good and locked in a garage all week.

i dont mind the ones that are genuinely street driven but get trailered to the show because they've been detailed to within an inch of their life for the show..... its the ones that are NEVER street driven that im not really a fan of....
