ok question...
who on this board does not have a street car? or one that you would consider to not be a street car, or a car in question....
like maybe Shawns WRX thats pretty much a show car.
is that streetcar worthy or not?
any others?

A car you can get in and go anywhere you need to go if you need to.

to me if you dont hesitate to drive it on these busted ass roads, run 93 or less, have an inspection sticker, and wont spaz from tiny rocks being thrown at your front end, then you've got a street car. interior, cage, a/c, etc. dont matter IMO

If you go by THAT definition, then there are mid 6 second 220+mph streetcars running around that are fed by alcohol/methanol and run on huge slicks with wheelie bars, a 99-point roll cage, and a 2 speed powerglide tranny.

Sounds streetable to me
