When I drive my car to work, I don't race there. I drive 100 miles a day. I get in the car, relax and drive. I don't speed. I don't beat on my car, etc. When I do race, I do so at the track. If I am going to the track, I will do a bunch of things to my car to prep it to race. Remove weight, change tune, change t-stat, etc. I mod my car so that I can have fun on the weekends at the track. But I de-mod my car during the week to save fuel.

Make sense?

I don't street race, so why keep a mod that I only use on the weekends?
