  1. Woah woah woah, lets slow Down here. Ford and Chrysler have recently revamped their entire lines, putting them leaps and bounds ahead of the shit gm is still pumping out.
  2. That's why I think the beastie boys are so great. They were never fully in it for the money, and they didn't care what other people thought. Those guys just went out and had more fun than any other group or artist ever.

  4. Ok, just don't come in here and talk about how all American cars are shit, then continue to make shit up about European made cars. I'm sure you've all enjoyed this little show.
  5. It's not bullshit. That's what I got. In the Porsche, I went 100 miles at an average speed of 100mph (I was in the countryside). It has a 19.4 gallon tank that was full when I set off and had 17 gallons left after the hour of driving. That's just under 40mpg. By the way, I was at 6000rpm in 2nd gear at 100mph which isn't going to blow the engine. And no, the Jetta wasn't a diesel. There is no fucking way you managed 40mpg at 6000 rpm. In 1997, only a handful of cars (sold in north america, anyway) that were capable of 40 mpg under regular conditions. One of those was a Honda insight. A Honda Insigt is a god damn hybrid. A fucking hybrid with a BATTERY. I now own a 1999 rav4 that I can barely make 30 mpgs with on a good day. There is no way in hell a Porsche will make "good" gas mileage. 20's more like it. Maybe. If you're light on the throttle, anyway, and definitely not at 100 mph in 2nd gear (which I'm still not convinced is even possible).
  6. Isnt it pretty hard to find a gnx in europe?
  7. Cash's version is 100x better than NIN version. The song fits his voice way better. It Had a better meaning when Cash recorded it.
  8. Ya, that's complete bullshit. If the jetta was a diesel, it might get to around 50, but you'd have to have the wind behind you. 40 mpg in a porsche? Complete and utter bullshit! How did you calculate this? We're you going downhill the entire fucking time? I'm sure my el camino could make better than 40mpg if all I did was coast down a fucking hill for an hour. Even if the Porsche could hit 100 in second gear, it would be completely stupid to do this. That's the best way to blowout a gearbox. And really the only way to achieve 40mpg in any strictly gas-powered car, you'd need to be in the highest gear your car has. Stop trying to make shit up.
  9. Problem with wanting a big and powerful car over here is the price of petrol. I know gas is hella expensive in the uk, but Googlefluff says he's in Canada. Besides, what kind of gas mileage does your car make? My father has a 2011 Dodge challenger with the 305 horsepower v6 and makes 30 mpg all day.
  10. First of all, the new Cadillac sedans are smaller cars than than the new BMW 7 series. Second, get behind the wheel of an American car with some decent power, and you'll see why we love them so. True American cars are punchy, powerful, and innovative. None of the vehicles you say you have ridden in have any of these features. Get in something decent before you make that generalization.
  11. Ya, I'm a rock guy, I'll definitely check them out
  12. I hope that you drive your little European shitbox straight into a big-ass 1970 Cadillac. American cars being "big-ass" is their biggest problem. Just sayin'. You do realize that American cars haven't been "big" since 30-40 yrs ago, right? Today, the biggest cars (not SUVs or trucks) I see around are the huge Mercedes benzes (whatever model they are) the BMW 700 series, or Hyundai equus. They're bigger than any sedan from An American company.
  13. You're still in school? How old are you? 17
  14. 'bout the only stuff I can stand is Everlast, The Beastie Boys, and old-school Run DMC. Other than that, I don't really get into much hip-hop.
  15. I hope that you drive your little European shitbox straight into a big-ass 1970 Cadillac.
  16. Today we had somebody face down on the floor in the main hallway of my high school. Nobody bothered to stop, just walked around her.
  17. Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails is amazing. The song meant so much more when Cash sang it. It was one of the last songs he recorded before his death.
  18. I like the better mpg but I don't like how a lot of manufacturers are turning cylinders into turbos for new models e.g. V8s into twin turbo V6s. I know it's to meet emissions standards and the mpg increase wouldn't be possible without turbos, but you lose the noise and no fancy tuned exhaust can get around it. I also wish they'd make turbos worse by raising the pressure and increasing turbo lag. Part of the fun in a turbo car is the lag you get in a high pressure turbo. When it's just small enough to cover the lost cubic capacity, the fun is gone. Then again, turbos mean modern cars will be easier to map when they turn cheap in a few years time... A lot of manufacturers here in the U.S. are dropping cylinders for turbos, and I think they're doing a pretty good job of it. The best example is probably the ford f150 ecoboost. The turbocharged v6 makes close to 100 more horsepower over its v8 counterpart, and makes better gas mileage too.
  19. Boy do I love being a teenager with an absolutely great paying job. I get to start a new project . I finalize payment of a 1999 Toyota rav4 4x4 tomorrow. Its got the same 4 cylinder that they had in the legendary toyota trucks of the 80s and 90s. It's gonna be a sort of daily driver for me (my el camino doesn't make real great gas mileage, but it'll still get driven plenty). The rav4 is going to get a lift kit and some bigger tires so I can get into off-roading here in the bayous of southeastern Texas.
  20. Rg3 and the redskins roll past the saints. Well fuck. I picked the saints
  21. You obviously dropped out before they could teach a punctuation lesson.
  22. Fuck it, I'm done with football. Nebraska lost to UCLA. Fuck you, fuck me, fuck the whole damn fucking world. Bo Pelini, stop Sanduskying Taylor Martinez and coach some of your other fucking players. Spend five minutes with the defense and teach them how to make a fucking tackle. Pull your kicker's head out of his ass so maybe he can see where the damn uprights are. And for the love of god, get some offensive lineman that do their god damn jobs. There, I'm done.
