Says it was his first car too, that really sucks. It'd be easy enough to fix the ugliness but I have no idea if that is a good price for a MR2.

I had a VW bus with 60hp, I don't want to hear you guys complain about slow. I also drove it all the way to CT from SC on the highway so its not like I was just driving it around town.

Oh, the plate and the "illest" definitely count as well. I actually thought it might've been going to the same place as where the WRX was heading (you can barely see the WRX through the tint) but they went different directions.

I put a tranny in a Jetta this weekend and had to do the test drive today with the terrible coilover suspension and "illest" sticker on the back, ugh. I hope I don't end up in this thread :ohdear:

No doubt, there is a Murano convertible at one of the places I work at and I never thought I would see one in person.

I take a picture any time I park next to a Subaru.









The last one freaked me out cause I looked up and saw dogs in my car and it took a second to realize it wasn't my car.

I never found CB to be of much use, even with a Wilson 1000 and a 150W linear. It'd be smarter to get a 2M/70cm mobile radio and a hamlicense.

I do though and I'm not into it enough to go that far.

Those Infinity trucks are the ugliest thing Ive ever seen, worse than the Aztec, B9 Tribeca, Juke, etc. Its just so terrible and I can't imagine people spending so much money on such a stupid looking turdmobile.

Doesn't it kind of seem a little... let's say foolhardy, to saw off the top end of a vehicle that you've already rolled over once? I mean, sure, it would remove a little bit of the top-heavy-ness, but I still sure as hell would not ride along with that dude. Please tell me his story didn't end with "And then he rolled over a second time... the end."

I cant get over the part when he wanted an Explorer over a 67 Chevy :psyduck:

Getting passed by big trucks in my VW bus was always terrifying. It had about 12 inches of play in the steering and when the front of the truck went past it would push me to the right and then after it would suck me to the left. After a while I could time it just right and my bus straight in my lane.

I'm going to guess you've never towed much of anything. Because duallies are loving marvelous for that (you know, what they were designed for).

Thats surprising, Ive ruined a few batteries by running them down. Last one was in my Subie when I didnt drive it for a month or so and didnt know that the GPS was on. It was only a year old and wont take a charge anymore.

Mad popping exhausts on off throttle are great, especially on hot hatches. Nothing you say will change this fact.

Yea my all stock Scirocco (minus cat converter) does this and it sounds freakin awesome.
