I agree 100%. I love to just go cruising around in my gp. I also enjoy a good race. Rather its your fast car, cute chick, big d1ck, nice house, or whatever, its still ok to make what you have even better.
I personally don't want a high 11second gtp. It was just cool for me to run this guy and see what he had. I personally had more fun talking with him about car stuff than I did racing b/c I'm mature enough to know you can't win em all. And every now and then you will run into a guy with a hotter chick, faster car, bigger crib, whatever. He gave me my props because he's never had any grand prix even come near his car. That's good enough for me.
