    This morning on the way to work I saw…..

    This morning on the way to work I saw one of the funniest thing that I have seen in a long time…. Well we all know here in LA that ever since ‘The Fast And The Furious’ came out we have seen a lot of import cars fixed up like they were from the movie….



    Well this morning I saw a Pontiac Sunfire all done up, it had dual exhaust, the paint job, a dragster type spoiler…



    So I saw it when I was meging onto the freeway… So I had to speed up and get through some traffic to see this thing… well it was in the #1 lane and I was able to get next to it and get a better look…. Well some goofy looking WHITE guy was driving it…. Man it looked funny….


    I like all the import cars fixed up like that, but a Sunfire



    This is what it looks like normal

    but i don't like those civics like that. if imma get a car to fix up, it'll be old. if i want a sports car, i'll buy a sports car. if it's a civic, it's going to the wife/girlfriend.

    I agree, i'd have NO problem buying like a 72 Chevelle or something to fix up. But If I buy a sports car, it's going to me, and if I buy a civic, it's going to me...and I don't like to share

    the only thing I have hanging in my mirror is a pair of pink fussy hand-cuffs, a McDonalds DoPeY toy, and a burned out nVidia GF2 GTS chip

    That probe doesn't look too bad, DF. I'm with you about fixing a car up. Stereo comes first!

    BLASPHEMY!

    exhaust, intake, forced induction are first, and always first

    then suspension, followed by wheels, 17-18" max

    then if you want to waste money on sounding faster than you are...get the stereo

    DF, you're not down with tuning?

    don't get me wrong here, i'm an electronics dork at heart, and someday i shall have a dvd player/gps screen, sub, blah blah blah in my ride, but i personally get way more satisfaction out of gettin dirty and 'tinkering' with an engine than i ever would driving around town with a boomin system.

    gimme extra boost and free flowing exhaust over JL 12's anyday

    well, anything that is dialed in can beat any type of car that is not as well tuned. but something about a classic car...is just classic.
