HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME@! :D




( :gah: )

[AvengerX]

Ricer

[Stang]

I cant believe what they do to the Mustang in that move, just cruel :( .

[SirDiesalot]

i haven't even seen the movie but i still find that funny. :yup:

[Stang]

You havent seen it cuz it hasnt come out yet :p .

(unless your talking about the first one)

[phalanx]

i thought it was cruel what they did to the charger in the first one :|

apparently the directors have the notion that "hey the ___ is faster than our main car, let's trash it!"

[phalanx]

i feel better now :)

[Gryphon]

:lol: Me too.

[Spinning Hat]

Those are 2 of the most beautiful cars ever built... Mmmmm

[Stang]

Ahh thank you, much better :).

[Ravin]

cobra.... /drool

GT40..... /faint

LeMans still hasn't recovered ;)

[SmackDab]

Ya know it's rice city, but damn fast cars, explosions, chicks in tight little clothes, it's like a man's wet dream. Dialog might suck but you can always turn it down if you get it on video or DVD.

I use the Fast and Furious1 DVD to demonstrate my hometheater system to people. The DTS intro is just bad ass, then I go to the charger scene and play that, damn it's sad, but that hemi is bad ass!

[AvengerX]

Smack, thats the same DVD my dad and I use to show off our home theater system. Rocks hardcore :)

[insaneferret]

liked the eclipse in the first one, of course i'm kinda biased
love my car, be wary though it only looks fast

my car (http://insaneferret.8m.com/images/mycar.JPG)

[phalanx]

heh, that whole charger and supra revving scene (and its inherent comical value) is the only reason why i keep that movie :)


visssss....
VRROOOOM

[Ashaman]

Yeah... well... here's mine:

http://home.myuw.net/mcraw/images/audi/Audi_driverside_front.bmp

No, I'm not ricing it out either. :p
The car is fine the way it is... plus I regularly have beaten supped up hondas with my un-modified car. :D

[Ashaman]

Haha! Ferret drives a rice burner!

[Gryphon]

:rolleyes:

[phalanx]

here's muh ride yo $$bLaNG$$:

ps. notice my hood pins, i had those installed because i tend to get up to 220 after i hit the nos

[SirDiesalot]

damn phal, i thought i saw a pic of your car before and it looks like you sank quite a bit into it since then. then again, i don't remember very well.

[SmackDab]

$$BLING BLING$$ Damn that's phat

[Ashaman]

Phal, how much were your rims?

I've been looking for some similar to that.

[phalanx]

they are custom i milled them myself

(i drive a ford actually :|)

[Stang]

Yeah you can get them at Shucks for $29.99 a PAIR!! Very nice hubcaps :lol:

[AvengerX]

ROFL

I drive a Civic, although I haven't riced it out, I'm saving my money to get one of the new Accord Coupes later down the line. My parents bought the new 2003 Accord 4 door EX V6, all accessories. It's a damn nice car. Now it's my turn to get the coupe ;)

[phalanx]

they kinda look like are made of metal foil gift wrap

[SmackDab]

Man I so have to bring in my digital camera to work with me, some guy driving around town has this really old Mazda car, like 80's time, he's got some huge spoiler on the back, some lame ass rims and chineese sticker's on the side. It's a red car and he's done some of the trim pieces in bright white.

I was just wanting to find this dude, and ask him if he really believes, I mean really truly believes that he thinks his car looks cool. Man what a tool.....

[Ashaman]

:lol

I was driving the other day when I saw a Hyundai hatchback that had that...

It looked like the guy had put the spoiler on in such a way that his trunk wouldn't open. ROFLMAO!

He had these tiny wheels, that were really wide... like 12 inch diameter and 10 inches wide. They stuck out the sides.

He also had tinted windows. Only they were tinted with that spray-on tint crap.

Oh and it had purple fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror.

I swear, EVERYONE was looking at this car. It was horrid. And it just proves that there are some cars that should never be modified... at all.


Oh and it was purple. And I've seen the car twice now. Once on the freeway, with the dude driving and bobbing his head like those guys in that one movie with Chris Katan (the nightclub one). The other was in Bellevue.

[Stang]

Any pink dingle berry things hanging from the ceiling? :lol:

Me <3 Audi

I would give anything to have the $$ to buy the RS6.

Ricing Cars is stupid, why?

A) Looks Stupid IMO :rolleyes:
B) An Audi can still take your Rice Burners :D

[Nico]

Winnar

[JC]

Yea NICO!

[Ashaman]

That is a NICE car!

Even though I'm not a fan of camaros in general. I still think that car looks good.

[Gryphon]

OMG Nico, NO! Bad Nico :mad:

[Ashaman]

I kind of like the blonde in the background...

Mmmmm... yummy!

[AvengerX]

(thats a man)

[Stang]

:eek:

No wonder Asha cant find a woman :D.

Nico now thats not nice :p. This thread was good until you put that thing in here.

[Ashaman]

Holey SHIAT!!

Wait a sec... that is a woman. I zoomed in and could just make out some breasts. I doubt it's a man with breasts because there is that fat dude in the back that has boobs bigger than the gal in front.

I think Avenger just wants the woman to be a man. So he can have fantasies about me and a man.


Ick. :eek:

[jonnyb]

i HATE honda civics. they are cheap and EVERYBODY puts some kind of MODs in them. although that is wicked sweet, and i know you are not one, but like every drop out in my city, buys a used civic and puts tinted windows, exhaust intake spoiler, clear taillights and some more stupid shit like that. the rims they use are from junkyards. see if i didnt live in this town where all the drop outs race each other like morons, then i would REALLY find that interesting.


all in all, that is sweet phal.

P.S. those little faggots who try street racing get blown away by my 1994 dodge intrepid bwahahahahahah....

[Vito]

The last Gen of Camaros kinda sucked, but they still are hands down better than the Mustang.

[SmackDab]

FORD is ass, sorry, boxy designs their whole career, WTF get some designers in there. Let's see they released the super bad ass looking.......uhm.......uhm.......shit can't think of anything cool Ford has ever made.

Ahh one exception, the new 4 door Harly edition truck with those nice rims is sure sweet.

I hate dodge too, but I'll give them a huge ass thumbs up for actually releasing to the public their concept designs, Prowler and PT Cruiser for starters....that's cool that they did that.

[SmackDab]

Hondas are nice dependable cars, but what I don't get is people rice up their 4 cylinder cars. I mean come on, it's still going to be slower than a V6.

That little whiny hum from those cars cracks me up too. I missed all the muscle car runs from the 60-70s but man those big blocks sound really freaking nice.

Like in FF when that Charger revs up, damn that is scary.

My dreamcar is a 69 Pontiac GTO convertable, black, solid black with mmmm leather interior, just for cruising. Then pull up next to some riced out honda wanna be and just FLOOR that thing. Hit your NOs bitch cause you're eating my 4barrel carb fumes mane!

Can't decide, my mid-life crisis time is still ways away, but I know I've got a car on my mind, ya know that 40/50 year old dude with no hair, drop topped out, checking out the young college hunnies.....lol, yea man. Can't decide if I still want that GTO or just say fuck it and get a Corvette.

[phalanx]

heh my friend got himself a 67 GTO... after looking at it, he noticed that there was some post-factory mods... like a hemi lol

and guys that civic isn't mine, i was kidding ;|

[Ashaman]

Well... FORD wouldn't hire any aerodynamics guys when I applied. (This was a couple of years ago, when I finished my BS.)

They hired a bunch of structural and dynamics guys though (guys and gals I went to school with).

But I think they don't understand the importance of aerodynamics... at least not until they acquired Jaguar....

[SmackDab]

Yea, I guess it's just something I noticed when I first took Honors Physics in High School. Ya know, when you start learning things about the way things work out there you just start to notice things as being messed up.

I am a big truck fan, and just looking at the way ford was putting out models for the last billion years, except for the now current design they had no aerodynamic improvements, hell even the old Crown Vic was just a big huge ass metal rectangular box. No streamlining, no nothing.

If you think about air resistance and say what performs better, a more somewhat pointed shape that tapers off in the back and basically cuts a wedge in air, thus improving gas mileage and making a vehicle more fuel efficient or hey, what if we put wheels on a brick wall and called it a Explorer SUV. Ya....that would look NICE.

My parents had one of the new ford explorers when they were first introduced. This new SUV term was still new. They drove home honked the horn and we went outside to see what the hell all that noise was for. My dad jumps out of his new ride and says check out my new truck do you like it. I was like what the hell did you buy a brick wall on wheels for? He was kinda disappointed I guess, but hey, never really liked ford ever anyway.

Man I say within 5 years that truck went to utter shit, things were falling off inside and it just creeked and made all sorts of noises when turning and stuff. They say never buy a new first year model, and that might be true, but unless Ford improved their quality I wouldn't buy a first 3 year model.

I think with cars it's hit or miss, I've had ones that were perfect, no defaults the entire time I had the vehicle, then on the other hand you get one that's just total shit, things always going out and what not. Like my friend bought a new GMC Envoy blaser thing, and had to have his freaking gas tank removed and replaced at the dealership cause of a defect that could cause the vehicle to explode. LOL, funnny.

I drive a Chevy Sliverado extended cab pickup, and it was so fine till I got in this wreck last year, now things just still aren't right, I'm so pissed off that I now have to pay for a vehicle that isn't what I bought. I could sell it or trade it in but then you loose any value you had in it anyway. Not that a vehicle is an ASSET but still, it's the principle, I'd rather just say oh well it's totaled, give me what I still owed on it and cut the loss right there get something that isn't hozed.

I also did something else crazy, I bought a Korean made car, Hyundai this year too. Kinda like a luxry sedan for the price of a normal car, was only like $19,000 with leather, power everything, suped up V6, looks nice, tight little car, but still there's that what will this turn out to be, a good dependable car or a pile of shit that's always broke. I'm taking a chance with this company, 10 year powertrain warranty, really peaked my eyes up, they say that covers ALL LUBRICATED PARTS, ok, but, if they screw up or this turns to shit, everyone I know or interface will know the horrors.

Looks like this: but mine is black with black leather interior and mahagony wood trim....mmmm classy.

So far I'm happy as hell with the car, we'll see what the story is a year or two from now.

[Gryphon]

When I think Chevy, I think flaking paint, and oil spots. Aerodynamic bubble cars are ugly and have no personality. Hey its a Hoda Camaro, or is it a Toyota Silverado?

[Ashaman]

Hyundais are good cars, from what I've heard and my own experience. My third car was a Hyundai. The thing ran just fine until I totaled it in an accident.

The only problem I ever had with it was that it was too easy to slip... light car + front wheel drive = bad.


Bubble cars aren't necessarily aerodynamically sound. Look at the (relatively) new VW beetle. It's a round "buble car", but if it goes fast enough, or there is a strong enough headwind, the car will lift off the ground. That's because it's round on top and flat on the bottom.

I think one of the most aerodynamically sound production cars out there is the Audi TT. Another would be the Dodge Viper. Basically, you don't want something that has a large flat frontal area... like an older Ford or Chevy pickup.

But that's besides the point... I don't know that many people buy cars and trucks based on how well they do with their aerodynamics. It's personal preference and what gets the job done. Though people will spend less on gas if they get a car or truck that gets the job done AND has good aerodynamics.



It's funny Gryph... when I think Chevy OR Ford, I think Bothell, Monroe, Enumclaw AND Hicks. I can't stand hicks. The ones that drive the beatup 79 camaros, or their chevy or ford pickups with the oversized tires and lifted suspensions and big ass mudflaps; they suck ass.

[Gryphon]

Camaros with 8 tracks and drivers with mullets spells L-y-n-n-w-o-o-d

[Stang]

It funny how you can tell where people are from around here by their cars :lol: .

[SmackDab]

I have a truck for the reasons of having a truck, to haul things around, fishing, hunting, working on carpentry things, getting dirt or mulch for the flowerbeds, etc. I'm at HomeDepot/Lowes every weekend it seems without a truck I'd have to haul a trailer or something. Then I have my boat that you have to haul with a truck and had a pop-up camper that I just sold when I moved into my house. Rest ashured though, it's completely stock cept for the radio and speakers, no lift kit, no exaust glass packs, no rebel flags (dixie), no hauling ass stickers, no mullets, no trailer home that I drive up to at home.

So many people down here in Texas get a truck cause they think they are some sort of cuntry lovin cowboy, when in fact there are no cows around the city, usually, and that they are nothing more than CONCRETE COWBOYS. So damn funny, half these hick idiots have never even set foot on a farm or ever seen a chicken coop. Damn sad, just damn sad.

Like they all look like they wanna be ready to ride their horse if needed but they've never ridden one before, and that shit hurts the hell out of your ball sack bouncing up and down on that damned animal. I rode a horse for like 1 minute one time and then bailed off it as fast as I could cause the pain of my swolen sack was too great. ICE PLEASE!!!

I don't know how to spell it but I saw a Mazaratti the other day, man that car looked TIGHT, freaking doctors and high priced managers here in Clear Lake around NASA, you see all sorts of exotic vehicles, Lambos, Ferarri, Hummer, everything...rich people are funny, you could have like 6 american cars that match 6 different outfits for the price of one of those "status" cars.

[Ravin]

I used to really despise Hondas and Japanese cars in general. I used to be a huge Ford and Mustang fan. I gradually got over it and realized there are (relatively) few cars out there that are complete crap. Yeah, there's the Edsels, Yugos and Pintos of the world but by and large, they all get you around where you need to go and most of em won't win any professionaly races without serious track tuning and/or cash investment.

I've seen and had rides in Hondas and Golfs that would rip the doors off any factory Mustang or Camero (even the R Cobra with 351). I've driven lots of old American iron that could beat any Japanese production car and look twice as good and 10 times as dramatic doing it. The bottom line with cars is that most folks are too wrapped up in em to be objective.

Let's see, I've owned a 72 Mercury Comet, 90 Geo Storm, 68 Mustang (351 Cleveland dropped in), 80 Ford F150, 70 T-bird (429), 93 Chevy (slammed stepside), 69 Camero (327 and 350), VERY briefly a 69 Nova, 92 Camero RS and finally a 02 Subaru WRX. I still have the WRX and the 69 Camero and it would take far more money that they're worth to get them out of my hands. An odd mix to most car/race fans but as I stated above, cars aren't something folks can debate objectively and for good reason.

That's Funny, I used to have a nice 89' Camaro; till I wrecked it so I decided to get a truck. The last time I checked I wasn't a hick either. :(

I thought it was defintly a cool car when I was 17, still wouldn't mind getting one of the 25th Anniversary editions Nico just posted.

http://www.critical-components.com/tkb/images/iroc.jpg

[Grunt]

I'm not a huge fan of ford myself... but the mid '90s Probe GT was one great car that I owned! I had a 95 actually, it performed well stock, handled wonderfully, and was even layed out well inside. Too bad a buddy of mine totaled it :(

My sister had an Audi TT for about 4 months... man I loved that car and would borrow it every chance I got. She whined that the seats hurt her back and so traded it in for a Porsche Boxter. Very slick car but not worth the extra 17 clams compared to the TT.

Right now I'm driving a Pontiac Grand Am that I've had for awhile. Not a fan of GM by any stretch, but the car has 150,000 miles on it (130k of which are mine) and I've never had a single problem other than normal wear and tear. Well ok, the paint on the hood is fuXored because I used to drive from Fort Lewis to Ellensburg every weekend over the pass during the winter.... damn state needs to learn to SALT roads, not just throw sand and rocks down :)

The plan now is to keep this thing until I'm done with school now that I'm heading back to get my degree before I'm 30. I figure that a 350Z will be my present to myself when I'm done :)

[Ravin]

Mmm, the new Z is pretty slick but do yourself a favor and look at the Ininiti G35 coupe while you're at it. It's almost the same car but I think it's a bit more user friendly. Personally I like it's looks a bit more as well, slightly less over stated.

The 92 Camero RS I had was a 25th aniv edition. The previous owner hadn't treated it nicely and it ended up causing me no end of trouble with the cooling and electrical. The 305 in it was adequate but the best I can say for it was that it made me a bigger fan of the 350.

[Gryphon]

CHEVROLET

Car Has Extensive Valve Rattle On Long Extended Trips

Cheap, Hardly Efficient, Virtually Runs On Luck Every Time

Constantly Having Every Vehicle Recalled Over Lousy Engineering Techniques

;)

[Vito]

Being the proud owner of a 1969 Camaro I won't even validate the obtuse comments made by the mustang owners. I will however brag about the new truck I bought today :p

[JC]

Gryphon just to let you know that is absured.

That Camaro had 220k Miles on its first Engine and it was still running great when I wrecked it. In the time I owned it (1.5yrs) the only thing I had to replace was an alternator which took a wooping $70 and 20mins of my spare time.

My Mother's 95 Chevy Tahoe now has 175k miles on it and we still take that thing on long trips cause it is the shizzy. The only complaint I have about it are the brake pads wearing out to fast. Then again how can you complain when you're trying to stop a billion pound veichle. The seat also broke when my girlfriend and I were fucking in the truck. Other then that it is awsome.

So don't talk shit f00 cause you don't know shiat ;)

And WTF Vito, you got rid of the Audi for that!

[Spinning Hat]

I'd get rid of an Audi for a Dodge Ram. :p And GM can lick my hairy left nut. Corvettes and Camaros are for men in their 40's and 50's, with a mid-life crisis. There are plenty of other cars out there that'll outhandle and outperform the 'vettes. AND, on top of all that, they're ugly, disgusting cars. And They're impossible for tall people to get in and out of. gah- the horrors it brings bme back to.

I'll take anything other than a GM POS.

[Ravin]

LOL, so much for objectivity.

[Coachman]

"So many people down here in Texas get a truck cause they think they are some sort of cuntry lovin cowboy"

So many folks in California seem to feel the same way. Most of these big SUV's have never been off the superhighways. Meanwhile, I used to camp out in the middle of the Mojave desert in a two seater Honda CRX. We have since upgraded to a 2X4 truck(which has got stuck in the sand...blah). My brother in law used to go off roading in his wife's MG midget.

[Vito]

Yeah I was sick of the Audi. And besides... Its tough to haul an ATV with an A6. :p

[Nico]

I drive a Ford Explorer and a Chevy Blazer. Need the 4wheel drive for the Winters here :D

[Ravin]

I've gotten so sick of the whole SUV thing. And of course because this is S CA, half of em are lifted so even another truck has trouble seeing over or around em. The only thing you ever see hauled by a couple of em is a jetski or something. The driving in this area is getting worse and worse too and the SUVs get downright scary. It's one thing to see some rice rocket or muscle car come flying down the road at 90+ MPH but seeing a big lifted Tahoe or Esclade do the same thing is just nerve wracking. I swear well over half the vehicles I see on the highways these days are trucks, SUVs, vans or minivans. I wish they were all as ugly as the old station wagons so folks here would only buy em if they actually needed em.

[LoS_LadyC]

Hey Insaneferret is this really you?

http://insaneferret.8m.com/cgi-bin/i/images/P6300031.JPG

On the vehicle comments, I must say that you get the vehicle that fits your needs. If you need to compensate for something you go with the overdone penis mobiles. :yup:

Otherwise, if you just need a vehicle to haul things around and a few people too, my Toyata Tacoma doublecab truck suits me just fine. :)

[Malthus]

Heh...My Mini-Van will Roxxrz you all, it's yuppie green. :p

[the46]

I got a BMW 325i with the Sports Package and I love it.. Before that I had 2 Nissan 240sx's (1992, 1998) I loved the nissan's and they held up nicely.. As stated earlier I can't understand why people buy cars, ill use Honda civics for arguments sake, and modify them to be fast.. Why not just buy the prelude?? If you have a shitload more money then go out and by a better sports car.. Fuck putting all that after market shit on to it.. Buy it the way you want it when you get it.. My 325 can smoke the doors off alot of cars, specially these idiots in the modified 4 bangers.. Now the car I want and I think is one of the nicest looking plus ranks up there in speed is the M3.. Dam is that a nice car..

[Ashaman]

M3's are nice... WAY out of my price range though. ;)

I do like GM and Chevy trucks though. And Ford diesels are nice too. (Don't like the Chevy/GM diesels as much.)

And I was going to get a Toyota 4-Runner until I almost rolled it on the test drive (hit a puddle going 30 during a bit of a rain shower). But the Audi felt safe going over the same spot at the same speed.

And JC: if you grew up seeing a bunch of hicks driving camaros you would probably have the same feelings towards them. ;)
The only people that I see driving camaros, besides hicks, are trailer trash women and mexicans. But hicks just piss me off for some reason...

[Vito]

I drive a Camaro and I'm not a hick or trailer trash woman.


...of course I am trying to explain this to a tree hugging, bambi loving, bunny fucker from Washington. ;) :p

[Ashaman]

Not saying you're a hick. Just pointing out that around here... the hicks stick with the camaros. (And mullets)

[the46]
