You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.- Nietzsche

When in despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won; there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.- Mahatma Gandhi

Sorry, Stealth, I don't remember which video it was.  It's at the tail end of a compilation video.  I'm at work so I can't really check to see right now :(

"pedantic"?  damn man, use some proper English.  what do you think we are here, professors? :D ;)


It clearly seems the complexity of my language has you baffled, one might question whether you have the right to call me a "dumass", a word which I cannot recall even existing in slang form. I shall however, respond in a mature way to your ill conceived post.

Stop it you two, or I lock the thread and move you both onto "last chance" status (if you already are... well you know what that means).

Now, back to cars... yes?

We've already resolved the matter between ourselves Thunder, there's no reason for threats.

On the subject of cars however, i found this gem.

K. Cool. Thx. Bye. :)

And yeah, very smart - classic looking!

That car is tight.  Well-kept classics will always win my vote.  

Quick question, would you get a classic PT cruiser or the new one?  I would get a classic one in a heart-beat.  The new one looks cheap and made poorly.  Plus it's slow as hell.

Alright, I'll show you the car that made me cream since I was little:



And it's father's version:



I don't know if any of you were old enough to remember, but there was this old tv program called Stingray.  The main character had the fattest corvette I had ever seen.  I think I only watched that show for the car.

Heh, I remember when I had my Volkswagen Jetta I had fixed it mad.  Was running 14.8 in the quarter mile.  One time at a light a yellow stingray pulled up next to me.  Thing was GLUG GLUG GLUGGING so pretty.  The light changed and we started racing.  That thing blew me away.  Not by just a car length or two, either.

hmmmm, late 60s muscle. How can a car with a seven litre, v8 be anything less than incredilbe ?

Does anyone else think Porsche has sold out by making an SUV ?
The Boxster was made to be profitable, but at least it didn't detract from the core values that Porsche has spent the past 50 years developing. Hell, even the 924 was more "Porsche" than that thing. I'd get a VW Toe-rag instead.

i love corvettes... old and new.  my friend's restoring (OK, well he's financing, i'm doing most of the work :p ... i'm in the process (very slow, whenever i have time) of rebuilding the engine, it's lying in pieces in his garage) a 69 stingray.  it's a beautiful car... late 60s stingrays were very curvy, i love them... and fast too... very fast :D

about 2 weeks ago me and my friend were driving in a local movie theater looking for a parking spot when i spotted the infamous back end of a newer corvette (the flat four lights in the back ;) )... but i recognized it instantly that they were different.  within like 2 seconds i was like "pull over, there's a 2004 corvette over there".  i studied it a little more, and apparently the back windshield is a lot different from the other corvettes... more pointy, and longer.  in fact the whole back end is bigger.  and you gotta love those headlights :nod: :D ;) :)... wow.  they even have FANS in them... to stop condensation i'm guessing.  i was thinking, it would make sense now with the whole 2004 corvette design, because with the back bigger and the way the back windshield is, and the headlights, i think they were going for as aerodynamic as possible, and they get flying colors for that... it looks badass :yes:

although one of my favorite cars of all time is the 1959 Cadillac... it's a beautiful car, gotta love it.  typical late 50s "simple" engine, but enormous... extremely big car, massive fins... you either love it or hate it... i love it.




my dad and i recently bought (for $1700) a 59 coupe, sitting up in North Carolina.  it's been sitting in a field for 5+ years, exposed to the elements, obviously with flat tires, etc... but the body is in semi-good condition still.  my dad used to restore 59 and 60 cadillacs for a hobby back in the day, so me and him are going to drive up there in the next few weeks, and try to get it running.  if we can, i'll drive it back... if we can't, we'll put it on the trailer and bring it back down.

although i think if i change the fluids, plugs, check distributor, timing, ignition, put a new battery in, pour a little gas in the carburetor, i'm sure she'll start right up.  hopefully.  i'm thinking 20 minutes to get her running... hopefully :p but i'll let you know how it works.
