i reported you. no regrets.

i can put up with dumb arguments about cars. i won't put up with being visually assaulted by willful ignorance. so you come back, and the first thing you do is address and defend that picture? i'm not sure you learned your lesson. btw, it's not just homophobic, but also sexist.

i only requested a mod to remove the picture. nothing more than that.

I know you did. Unfortunately, your sensibilities are not my, or anyone else's, concern. If something offends you, I invite you to ignore it. Posts scroll fast enough that they're off the current page fairly quickly, these days.

You bet I defend it, because I can't imagine it offending anyone that doesn't... well let's not go into that. Alpha had the right reaction, IMO, for someone who didn't appreciate it.

btw, it's neither homophobic, nor sexist. I assume you've heard, in some documents, of 'where the masculine gender is stated, the feminine is implied' etc, and I'm not going to re-draw an amusing image to suit your prejudices or politics. I'd recommend you consider the source and intent of a post before you cry wolf to the authorities... but you obviously misinterpreted those, in this case.

If you want a bland place of nothing but details, I suggest you visit autoblog.

That's not exactly how the rules of this forum work.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Hey! HEY!

We only fight over two things here:

The FRSBRZGT86.

And the greatness of the greatest car of all time: the 370Z.

I will not tolerate anything else.

 

[reilo]

N-Bomb: the entire thread, and most importantly the mods disagree with you.

This isn't a Subaru or Honda forum.

 

[N-Bomb]

That's not exactly how the rules of this forum work.

The rules don't seem to cover what I posted. Section 2, 2A, 2B. Although you could make a (weak) case for it being 'sexually oriented'. I guess we all just need to complain more when people post things we don't agree with?

Right, I forgot that it's a BMW or Jaguar forum. Yeesh.

That's not the point. Don't act willfully ignorant nor indignant. You know exactly what that picture was meant to convey.

 

[chickdigger802]

dont think i hung out here then, but what were people fighting about 86? It's not powerful enough for the price?

Pretty much. Plus it's quite an ugly car, inside and out. Insurance can't be cheap, either.

LMAO.

 

[chickdigger802]

hmmm i kinda like the fr-s look lol. I really should look up insurance.

Don't mind him. He's just bitter that they didn't capture the Micra look:

 

[About to go HAM]

FR-S is still probably cheaper than a TC lol

 

[AlphaSnake]

I don't get it...

 

[chickdigger802]

tc's are like under 20k though?


oh god, thats the nissan frog my friend was talking about. always thought he was talking about that hideous nissan murano convertible thing.

its crazy how that's still in production while altima coupe is dead.

 

[About to go HAM]

oh sorry, i meant insurance.

 

[chickdigger802]

lol. its crazy how easy it is for tc's to find themselves wrapped around telephone poles.

I test drove one at an autoshow, it's pretty much a corolla :/


I'm betting fr-s's are gonna skyrocket in insurance in the next 10 years or so when they start hitting the used market and highschool kids can afford them.

drifting onto roofs somehow.

 

[About to go HAM]

The drift is strong with the toybarus.
Hopefully most parents will take one look to realize what an awful choice it'll be for their child.

parents in america doing actual parenting?

More like buy their kids a fr-s. kid dies in a giant fireball. Parents then sue toyota.

 

[chickdigger802]

Welp. Saw a 350z almost hit this poor suv behind it on a hill.

Use them ebrakes if you must manual folks.

 

[TheOMan]

Evo is a no go.
In laws have a 13 regular Impreza with leather and I wasn't that impressed. Interior was meh, leather was weak, and the ride was rough.

Yeah about 40k.

Maybe take a look at an Infiniti G or a Q50?

I can't remember the last time I had to use an e-brake up a hill. Maybe when I was just learning how to drive a manual.

Quick feet, or something.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Same. I used to drive on some seriously horrible hills in NY, and my 370 was my first stick car. But I learned rather quick surprisingly.

All about that muscle memory, I guess.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

All of this has happened before and all of it will happen again.

It seems like 350zs attract trashy drivers.

 

[Liquidus]

That can be said about any car.

 

[AlphaSnake]

That can be said about any car.

No, it's true. 350Zs are so cheap they attract morons and ricers left and right, it's pretty much the reason I sold mine. It's one of the reasons why I'm glad Nissan produced the 370 in such low quantities and made it cost more - I hardly see asshole 370Z owners.

 

[About to go HAM]

Yes, but not very accurately. Certain cars do attract lesser drivers than others. Insurance rates attest to this.

And yeah, the 370z is, as we all know, the real race car.

Greatest car known to mankind.

Bow down before it.

LOL whatever. Dime a dozen.

it's looks...

 

[AlphaSnake]

That chick is mega hot. Thanks!

 

[cajunator]

Agreed. Typical terrible looking toyota.
apparently its fun to drive though because of the tiny tires.

 

[About to go HAM]

I think there's a little more to it than tiny tires...

 

[N-Bomb]

That chick is mega hot. Thanks!

Now we know why he thinks the modern Z is beautiful.


Misc:
-I think Subaru will surprise people w/ the next WRX
-Has anyone ever been in a performance driving school/course(s)?

 

[twinturbo2]

The Dodge Dart GT with the 2.4 liter motor gets laughable gas mileage. 21 city, 30 highway. Damn. The Avenger/Chrysler 200 can do better!

 

[chickdigger802]

people can do hills without ebrakes, just saying that if your car rolls back more than a feet before you engage clutch... maybe you should ebrake and/or practice a bit on hills at your neighborhood or something.

 

[cube444]

How many of you guys have been bitten by the mod bug? I've probably thrown in $10,000-12,000 on my car since I bought it 2 years ago. I'm pretty much done for the year and my next one will most likely be an LSD next April.

Does that mean you're into girls with anorexia or something?

10 grand is probably picture worthy. What do you have? What have you done?

I have a spreadsheet detailing all the stuff i've done....

 

[cube444]

I own a 2009 BMW 335d and the main ones are:


BBS RGR rims on MPSS rubber

KWV3 coils


M3 Front sway bar

M3 Front lower wishbone/control arms

M3 Front tension struts

M3 Strut Brace Kit

Vorshlag adjustable camber/caster plates

Power Grid Adjustable front sway bar end links



M3 Rear sway bar

M3 Rear subframe bushings

M3 Rear guide rods

M3 Rear upper link/wishbones

Adjustable rear sway bar end links

Megan Racing toe arms


Giant Robot, what car and what mods for you?

 

[ascii42]

Nope, it's the tires. I guess that means the Prius is just as fun to drive.

 

[YuriLowell]

I think im gonna sell the evo, and use the money for a house downpayment.

Sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[chickdigger802]

you know, i've never ridden or drove a prius before. I know enthusiasts laugh at them, but they seem to sell well enough. Not gonna be your primary drag racing machine, but i assume its good enough for a passenger mover and daily commute?

I've never driven one, but I rode in one on a long trip once. Decently comfortable and quiet. I had no complaints.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Got my new Fiesta ST today. Very nice so far.

 

[chickdigger802]

the accord... why? And so sloppily done too...

 

[weekend_warrior]

What was the picture of that got N-bomb banned?

 

[kagete]

Goddamn Fulton County why am I not surprised.
