The only good things the imports have is mileage and reliability. Sorry, I'm sold.

[GTSLOW]

That is funny as hell :rolf

[fireguyrick]

I also think that is funny.

Especially from some with the screen name juicedimpss that has an avatar of a vehicle that appears to be slammed and on dubs.

Im sure i will take a beating for this but................ :rolf

These are the reasons why rice burners suck and muscle will live forever...




Good call, positive rep on that one.

[TopStreetDsm]

:confused

:scratchhead

I dont think I fit in either of these?

[GRM-REPR]

And here is what I think:

ME: I dont give a shyt what either cars had or have.
(BOTH OF) YOU: Beating a dead topic and no one really cares anymore.

(Enjoy)!!!! :banana1:

[Slow Joe]

LMAO this is funny... But there's NOTHING wrong with lowering a car for handling purposes... As long as it's done right... Just my $.02... Oh yeah and my Malibu had limo tint and that ****'s a ***** at night... lol...

[Crawlin]

I also think that is funny.

It's actually the little slot car he built for slot car drag racing, so it has slicks and skinnies.

wow, people getting their undies in a knot, i'm pretty sure it was posted for amusement, which it IS amusing

Amusing is EXACTLY what it is... :rolf

[Teufelhunden]

I didn't think it could, but this post just got a whole lot funnier. :thumbsup

[animal]

Beating a dead topic and no one really cares anymore.

I do. I applaud any belittlement of ricers. :devil


But I do find it funny when "they" get all upset over stuff like this though. :rolf

[97z2801ss]

hahaha good list... 1 up

[BAD LS1]

The only good things the imports have is mileage and reliability. Sorry, I'm sold.


I concur! i love my daily driver honda cuz its stock... After owning it for a while now... i would never make attempt to piss the money away to attempt to make it fast. i dont think a turbo would do much for it anyway :rolf

[nismodave]

Ahhh the Import hate...see it all the time.

Idiots that start threads like this need a life.

If its Import HATE threads or Domestic HATE threads, its just plain stupid.

[juicedimpss]

"You are a dumbfvck, get a life-Nismodave"
lmao. get a sense of humor :loser

[BAD LS1]

There ARE tons of cool imports out there! its just the rice crowd "new breed" kids that wrecked it for the people who have neat cars... I guess when u are intrested in cars, yet have had no background with them growing up... u get the rice we see today... just my observation

Then again so did guys with mullets for F-bodies and G-bodies hahahaha

[nismodave]

"You are a dumbfvck, get a life-Nismodave"
lmao. get a sense of humor :loser

HAHAHA........There that better? :rolf

I stand by my rating for ya. Threads like this are worthless. I see them all over the net. But I have not seen them here. Until now.

All it does is stir the Import VS DOmestic fight up. Both groups have people that have screwed up their cars royally. But most guys I know work hard to make their cars the best they can be. Import or Domestic.

Most are going for a common goal, just different ways of getting there.

Have a nice day. :punch:

Excellent point. :thumbsup

Dont diss my mullet

Launch once, break built transmission

Launch 5 times, break 5 transmissions.

Ahhh yes... quite true.

Hopefully 2006 will not bring transmission #6.

Thanks scott! :thumbsup

[69Chevelle]

That's funny

Yup, I agree with this one... But it's still funny... :rolf Then again I prolly wouldn't be laughing if it was an American car dis... Well.. unless it was funny... :rolf :stare

[FourEyedFord]

I can't deny this.......except my battery voltage gauge does not work either.
:goof

..so I'm at school talking with this one gorl about race cars 'n stuff. She was telling me about how her brother works on funnycars and she finally knows what a hemi really is. She drives a Saab and i told her i drive an Integra. The first thing she says after i say that is...

...are you a stupid ricer?

she caught me on that one. I never expected a girl like her to say such a thing. I nearly crapped my pants I was laughing so hard.

Then she had to say 'you know my saad will smoke your integra in a race?'

Never expected that too. I felt salty. very salty. It was true, no denying it.

I need a faster car.

[Stangman98]

I love threads like this. Poor ricers. CRY ME A FRICKEN RIVER...if you are offended...buy a Domestic car. Not all import drivers or cars are rice though. There are riced out domestics too.
This is so much better then a Ford v. Chevy v. Dodge thread :)

[SlowStee]

Damn I guess I missed all this fun

Hey Mullets were cool back in the day, like when they were still making G-bodies :rolf

[PARALYZER]

Found this on an old floppy I had from like 4 years ago.

[97PontiacW68]

ahahahah! i love that that's so funny hows the car? i was quite impressed when i took a ride in it :)

[PARALYZER]

There was one more page, but its too large to put up.
The car is fine....just waiting for the snow to go away. Got a new race tune this winter so I am looking forward to brining it back out. Lucky me, no emissions tests anymore :)

[nismodave]

Gonna bring that thing down sometime to Milw???

[PARALYZER]

Yeah I guess.

[nismodave]

Yea.......His head has gotten pretty big with that car........But it is quick........But with his setup it should be.

Im looking forward to a roll run vs him. No way I can hang with a car with a Transbrake from a dig.

[nismodave]

Yeah I guess.

You changed your POST u FOCKER!!! :chair:
