You ain't kiddin...
Thank god I live where I do...North Jersey seems to have the cheapest gas prices out of the entire country right now. I filled up 93 octane yesterday...was $2.25 a gallon...
And to think I complained last summer about gas prices...
-
lol I go fill up in the US and I pay around 2.10 to 2.20 hasn't really went higher then that yet
Steve
-
Ill get my costco receipt and im pretty sure its around 2.15 for 93 octane. But nonetheless, costco is the best to get gas cheap.

i drive a PT Cruiser bitches! lol i love my baby
-
PT cruiser? wow... I dont think you can get any closer to being gay jk lol
Steve

PT cruiser? wow... I dont think you can get any closer to being gay jk lol
Steve
I do...
Look at xTc and his "Euro Lights"....fag :binky:
:-D
-
WOW a Stang sighting, life really is cyclical.
BTW, if you don't cruise in a Dodge Caravan then you're just playing for second places boys.
-
bah dodge caravan... I got a pedal bike... beat that
Steve
-
Yea Night...I still check in here now and then...
Summers here...got some free time. Don't have a good enough computer to run source tho, so no playtime for me.
-
Who the hell is StangGT? There used to be a guy in the clan by that name, but he disapeared anout 6 months ago. Do you know him?
-
I think its the same guy
Steve
-
i feel bad for anyone who drives a PT cruiser, its basically a cross between a grand caravan and a neon. They put those cars of the same chasis as a neon how sad :(
-
neons are the worst peices of shit... ever... the only one thats decent is the srt-4 cause it fucking flies...
Steve
-
got one of those too night :lol:
-
neons are the worst peices of shit... ever... the only one thats decent is the srt-4 cause it fucking flies...
Steve
It's still a Neon.... :puke:
-
FACT! :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :argue:
-
the new ones are pretty sick the srt's i like em but i dunt really like the neons
-
well technically the srt aint a neon... and I maxed it at 160mph ... now good enough
Steve

Play CS or work on this beauty?.....decisions, decisions, decisions :thebirdman:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-

How do you figure?
It looks like a Neon, they call it a "Neon"...After all of that, I'd assume it was a Neon. All they did was spice of the interior (not much either...it's still a shitty interior that rattles), throw on some performance muffler with a dual exit, and slap a turbo on it. It's still that 4-cylinder grocery getter, just with a power adder.
Sorry but one this that pisses me off more about those cars is the ignorant fucks that drive em. I'm not calling you one, so don't even go there. I'm talking about the thousands of kids who think their Neon is the hottest thing to hit the streets and that it can beat anything cause it's got a "turbo". I frown at the people who classify these cars with the likes of Mustangs, Camaros, and Trans-Ams as an American performance car. Last I checked American cars weren't front wheel drive... :headbang:
-
lol. As long as you don't put my GTi in that category. It is, after all, a hatchback with a turbo thrown on it. Sure it's only 180 h.p. and 176 ft-lb torque, but it handles like you wouldn't believe. You never have to slow down through the curves as long as you trust your tires and are comfortable with hard cornering. I'm not a kid, but I do drive like an asshole from time to time. It comes from growning up in Jersey and then moving to Woostah. 395/290 is the MA autobahn.
But then again I would never classify my car in the same category as a muscle car. For daily driving performance I choose the GTi. But...I saw the GT350 in NY, and I want one...
-
stang I hate them too... I worked at a dealership and I got to beat the fuck out of em... but if I were to get one I'd get the srt-4 since like I said they fly... they beat mustangs easy and I've seen em do it
Steve
-
they beat mustangs easy and I've seen em do it
Throw a power adder of the same size into a Mustang and you'll see it do the same thing...
You're comparing apples and oranges...A 2000-something pound Neon with a turbo to a 3500 pound tank thats all motor. Plus, last I checked the neons could only muster up a mid to low 14 second time stock. Manual GT's are known to run mid to low 14s stock as well.
-
But...I saw the GT350 in NY, and I want one...
If you're referring to the new Shelby, it's a GT500. I'll be curious to see if they make a "GT350" model in the years following as an all-motor version of a GT500 (kinda like what the 1999-02 Cobra is to a 2003/4 Cobra). There are rumors, though, that the Mach 1 may be reappearing in the 05 body style. We'll just have to wait...
-
If you work at a car dealership, I wonder how you sell cars? Do you call every person that doesnt want a mustang a mongoloid ? Dont think so... Not everythings about power.
-
no I dont sell the cars... I deliver them... kinda like a test run :P I got to drive a viper for a delivery.
Steve

No I don't work at a car dealership, if this was directed at me...I work at an autoparts store.
I can tell you how I would sell cars, though...I would sell the car based on the persons needs. I can't see what that has to do with Mustangs or power, as you put it. I was meerly pointing out that SRT-4s were built cheaply, and that their enthusiast community is largely based on uninformed kids who believe everything that the salesman feeds them. When I sell parts, I tell the customer what they ask and what they should know. If I feel a product is not up to par with their particular needs, I won't recommend it.
As for your comment about me calling people names for not owning a Mustang, that's a really good guess....but unfortunately it's wrong. My opinions on cars have nothing to do with Mustangs at all. Mustangs do have problems themselves and I would be more than happy to point them out to you if you'd like. Not everyone needs a Mustang, or would want one, and I can't remember myself even hinting that everyone should buy one. It's obvious that you can't think of anything intelligent or constructive to say about cars, so why would you bother posting that nonsense?
Now back to car dealerships...There's no thing in the world that pisses me off more than when I walk into a dealership and I hear one of the salesmen making up some bullshit specs about a car that aren't true. This is where the SRT-4 comes in. These people try and push these cars as if they are the fastest things on the road. When they do this, you end up with idiotic kids driving all over the place revving at everything they see on the street.
Whatever...I think I've explained my points well enough for any intelligent person to understand. xTc, if you are still confused on my stance of the SRT-4 or my position on cars in general, please re-read the topic or shoot me a PM. Thanks 8-)
-
The STi is one hell of a car....
What would you see yourself doing with the car? Racing at the strip? Some road courses? Or just daily-driving on the street?
-
yup, i was talking about the gt500. Pretty reasonably priced for what you're getting (if you can get one) if you ask me.
And the STi is awesome. I saw lots of em on the road last summer. none through the winter on the daily commute. lol. maybe they don't want to scratch em' up, or they just crashed them already.
-
just because you can articulate a well structured sentence doesnt mean you know everything there is to cars.

But it doesn't mean that I don't, either :-D I know enough to say that I know more than you on this particular subject.
Running out of things to say, xTc? Maybe you should stop wasting your time trying to "make fun" of me and go to Pep Boys and buy your APC Wing and Blue Neons.
-
wow... because I dont check the forums every 15 min to see if a car topic has been made and respond to it as quickly as possible?
-
wow... because I dont check the forums every 15 min to see if a car topic has been made and respond to it as quickly as possible?
No, it's because that with every response you make, you just further prove my point that 1: You shouldn't have made that comment about me hating people without Mustangs to begin with and 2: You shouldn't even bother responding to a car post if you don't know what you're talking about.
Cobra, STi's are amazing in the snow, but even still...I would have it covered up in the winter. I mean comon...I don't need that road salt eating up the undercarriage or the clearcoat. :-D
-
Yeap, i shouldnt even respond to a car thread. Everyone fear the man with the mustang, he is all knowing becuase if it isnt a muscle car, it sucks.

It's amazing that you still can't figure it out...
I guess it really is a 2nd-rate education over there in Clifton :crybaby:

Fucked
On
Race
Day
enough said cough cough Ford blows.... cough cough buy a Chevy
-
lol... ford trucks are the best sorry... 2 of the best race cars are fords, the GT-40 (the new one is sweet) and the Saleen race car (which is at the top of all race cars)
Steve
-
yea I totally agree with Mekstar. FORD backwards is Driver Returns on Foot. stupid mustang 5.slows
-
mustangs blow... true... but the pickups are the best and their gt-40 and saleen are the top sooo... GTFO
Steve
-
yeah i agree with you on that steve ford pickups are decent but i personally prefer chevy. but the sad fact is Rustang 5.Blow's SAWK!
-
dude the f-150... is if your in the construction buisness. Those things take up like both sides of the road when they drive on the street.
-
but the sad fact is Rustang 5.Blow's SAWK!
Please show me that "sad fact"...if you can, great...if not, well than it isn't a fact, but only you're opinion. :headbang:
yea I totally agree with Mekstar. FORD backwards is Driver Returns on Foot. stupid mustang 5.slows
Funny how you say "5.slow"....Take a look at the year that the motor was built. That motor has been around since before you were born. Yes they are slow stock compared to a lot of the cars on the street now, but if you throw maybe $500-$1000 at it, that motor will shit all over anything on the street. Not the forget the fact that the 5.0 302ci motor hasn't been touched since 1995.
Oh and btw....How can you call the 5.0 slow? I mean you drive a 2nd gen Eclipse GS with a POS 4 cylinder (and yes that is a fact...Those 4 cylinder motors are trash). I can understand how you can relate to a car being slow, but the 5.0? Have you ever driven one? Better yet...try racing one...see who's slower 8-)
lol... ford trucks are the best sorry... 2 of the best race cars are fords, the GT-40 (the new one is sweet) and the Saleen race car (which is at the top of all race cars)
Actually the FR500 (Ford Racing's Race Car) version of the new 2005 Mustang is winning tons of races in the grand prix I believe. I read an article where it stated that the car won at Daytona and it won somewhere else, back to back. As far as the Saleen goes, I think you're getting confused with Steeda. Saleen doesn't actively compete in races anymore, and I'm not sure, but I can't remember them ever racing in the Grand Prix or any other events. The Steeda Q Race Car, however, is a very quick car that does compete in some autocross events and maybe a few others. Information can be found at www.steeda.com
-
I'm a Dodge fan at heart...My first car was Dodge Intrepid, she was a hell of a sleeper. Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep fanboy 4 lyfe!
-
I agree. I like a nimble car that corners well. mustangs are cool, but when you dirve one, they are hard to drive fast on the street unless you're at a stoplight. It can be done, it is just a lot harder...the car gets away from you fast when taking a windy road too fast. Oh well. i would like to get a new quasiturbine engine car. lol. or settle for a henkel rotary.
-
ok look stang when I say saleen I mean the saleen s7 which races since it is one of the fastest cars ever built. I didn't mean the mustang saleen. look it up at www.saleen.com and click on the s7 model... great specs on that one.
Steve
-
ever drive the 350z, damn that car is fast.
-
ok look stang when I say saleen I mean the saleen s7 which races since it is one of the fastest cars ever built. I didn't mean the mustang saleen. look it up at www.saleen.com and click on the s7 model... great specs on that one.
Steve
RGR that...thought you were talking about the 281 model Saleen Mustang....my bad
Also, in response to Mustangs sucking in corners....welll duh lol...They have solid rears (except for the cobras). They were specifically built to go fast in a straight line, although SVT decided to change that up by trying to send the Cobra's into the autocross direction by putting in an IRS. Nothing like being in a parking lot in the rain and just giving the car a little gas while your making a turn....You guys ever ride those "teacups" at amusement parks? Yea it's kinda like that lol
Oh and yes...fart can's do suck. I never knew they stuck the same weed wacker motors into cars :-o :-D
-
lines are for fast cars, corners are for fast drivers.
-
lines are for fast cars, corners are for fast drivers.
And your point is??
I thought we were talking about cars here...now you're bringing in driver skill? Oh god...is xTc gonna show me up with his autocross skills? :notworthy:
:-D
-
xtc dont have any driving skills... he has an eclipse... nuff said
Steve
-
in your eyes that would make me have poor taste not skill damnit. When i go to montreal we are gonna race go karts.
-
i agree stang, the SRT is still a neon, and is like false advertising if you ask me, and yes its faster than my passat, but at least my car doors don't shake when i go over a bump, but then again its an affordable way to hit the streets hard, i guess its a trade off you pay for what u get, I love sports cars i just cant afford one that I really like, and I don[t want to buy a used one cuz i don[t want somebody else's problems, thats why i bought a motorcyle, its faster, cheaper, better gas mileage, and will pwn any car out there, I think the best bang for the buck for myself would be the STI, 300 HP 300 lbs of tourqe, for @ 34 grand, but thats just me
My Grandma has an STI, i have pics in here somewhere of my grandma's STI and her gsxr-1000

-
well if i dumped a new bike and it didnt have a cage or some sliders theyd have to take me to the mourge cuz id just die.
-
all golfs are 2 dr, anyway i saw a loser kid try a stoppie at a light today on a new kawasaki 600rr it was tight! until he fell over, i almost pissed myself, nothing is funneher then seeing somebody scatter around the pavement trying to pick up a bran new bike, I bet he wished he had bought some frame sliders. hahahahaahh although i did think it was pretty cool
first of all, most golfs are 4 drs. Second, man that's cold. laughing at some kid who now has to sell an extra QP this month.
-
well come on you do dumb shit and your gonna eat the concrete eventualy anyways..... Ive been there but it was on an old honda cs650 turbo so it wasnt all that bad ^^

That's my backwoods beater, around here all a fast car gets you is to the mall and back. I prefer going places not many people can go. :-D

You should full restore that, those things were awesome back in the 90's

Yeah my cousin had a 1st gen bronco...they are a little small for my taste like the 1st gen blazer (more like a jeep than a fullsize). Mine is an 86 Blazer which is 2nd gen (73-90). I prefer the fullsize trail rigs. I have a '79 Blazer that is offroad only I am building up with 5" lift, 40" tires, diesel motor, 1 ton drivetrain and lockers. This one is getting partially restored. The wife wants to keep the 2" life and 33" tires but it's getting some new body panels and some rust repair, cowl induction hood, lightbar and nerf steps, new all black paint job with ghost flames, and a fresh 350 sbc with 4bbl carb, headers, and dual exhaust with flowmaster 40s. That's about as bling as we can get here in the boonies.
-
Towlie, saw your ride...if you need a loan let me know...cause that thing is a piece of shit...and that is coming from a guy who owns a minivan. So take it to heart. :-P
-
Yeah, it may be a PoS, but it gets me where I need to go, esp in snow and/or mud :-D
It is also a work in progress. IMO if you didn't build it yourself what is the point? Time and money are my enemies, not enough of either...but when I am done it will not be a PoS...so stick that in your minivan and drive it to wal-mart :thebirdman:
-
you bury people for a living, right. So, no comment from me.
lol hahaha. can you dig it? of course you can.
-
MO if you didn't build it yourself what is the point?
The point would be to drive a decent car and stop the humilitation that you are currently putting ourself through. And my minivan can get me to Wlamart for 1/2 the cost of you PoS. So if you are gonna build a car...build a fucking hybrid and be smart about it. :iamwithstupid:
-
*sigh* why do I get such grief?
Yes, I am a gravedigger cole, in fact I live in the cemetery I work at, hence I do not need to drive to work. The grocery store is 2 blocks away. I might put 2k miles a year on my blazer so economy really isn't a concern. I use less fuel than someone in a econo box that drives a 50 mile commute. Nighttrain, I would spend far more building a hybrid than I would ever save in fuel. I am a gearhead and enjoy working on my own equipment. Obviously one can't really build up a minivan. But folks that show of their bling bling autos (and I'm not saying anyone here did) and have never turned a wrench on it are posers. My vehicle isn't as nice as it could be because I work on it myself and often don't have the time or parts to get the more cosmetic things fixed. But she has it where it counts, suspension, tires, and drivetrain.
I came into this thread with a joke that cars are for pussies because I drive a 4x4. Where I live a 4x4 is a necessity in winter as our road does not get plowed often and it gets slick. I was fishing to see if anyone else was into trucks. I got 1 comment to the positive even though I think he referred to my GM product as a :puke: ford. Telling me to build a hybrid without knowing my situation here isn't very constructive.
Seriously, did I piss that many people off? Why all the hate? I mean really, how is it such a pos? I can get groceries with it, I get get up the mountains with it hunting, I can get on and off the hill with it in the winter, it can haul a camper or my car trailer, and in the summer I take the top off it and cruise just like the convertables you see. It will start at -20 degrees and run cool even at 110 degrees. Aside from the fact it only gets 11mpg how is it such a pos?
-
LMFAO!
Dude, towlie, we were fucking with you, you nub!!!! LOL... You dig holes in the ground for dead people, and make headstones, etc. And LAN in the graveyard (super cool if you ask me)! lol. Anyways, I know that you are a gravedigger, and you knew I knew that or is your memory that bad, sparky? lol... . Anyway, you hick, we were busting your ballz, and that post made it all worth it! now go put some thirty inch tires on a minivan so you can represent like Night. lol. Soccer dads unite!
-
LOL, I betcha I can find a pic of a minivan with 30s....somewhere I have a pic of a suburban converted into a hearse...gonna have to dig that one up.
And as for busting my balls, I been married 11 years...they get busted plenty thank you :-D
-
Wowzi. I guess I missed this thread.
Well...I'm with Towlie...below is my truck (2002 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE SB with added TracRac, Bedliner and Rain Guards). The pic is from Edmunds since I see no reason to waste film or batteries on taking a picture of my freaking truck.
I'm also with Night since my wifes wheels are a 2002 Dodge Caravan Sport with zero balls but plenty of room form my three daughters and all the stuff that goes with them! No pic required here. One thing I do like about the Caravan is it definitely drives and handles like a car...but with no balls...lol.

I am a big gear head like towel. Even though I got a Pickup, I still prefer the cars. The truck is the work horse and always there when you need it. Especially when the cars break down and I need to tow then to the garage.
I will have you all know that I do every fix on my own cars. The SHO in my post was just modded. Car was an automatic. I rebuilt the Engine and dropped(or lifted) it in bolted up to a 5 speed. Had to change the entire wireing harness from the nose to the dashboard. Welded the entire exhaust from the custom Y pipe back. I feel your pain towel with the whole not enough time or money, cause god knows I spent mad loot on that SHO.
Will post pics of the project if you guys wanna see.
Later
Widow
PS My next project when the SHO is done will be the GTA drive train. Got a 350 SB in the garage and gonna go to a 383 stroker with a super charger on it. Will be interesting pulling up to the vette's and vipers out there with around 600 HP LOL
