LOL Robby.  Must've had a bad case of "happy fingers".  
I'm a racer at heart - circuits & rallies, but I also like to rumble.  It took me a while to develop an appreciation for rumbling, as well as understand that there is skill involved; it's not just about bashing into the other truck hoping that it flies off from a lag kick.  Well, on a few rumbles that's about all it amounts to lol...like the bowl rumbles for example.  But overall there are definite tricks to the trade. 
As for drags/freestyles, they don't appeal to me personally, but I definitely respect the fact that to some they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.  On the flip side, I have to admit, I had a good time during the testing/evaluating stage during the 03 Expo when we covered the drags.  That was the first time I'd ever tried them.
Like Robby though, I too love the game itself.  I may not participate in every format MTM 2 has to offer, but that's just a matter of personal preference.  In fact, one of the greatest things about MTM 2 in my opinion is the variety this game has to offer. 
 
Ok I'm done now lol.
