They may spend a grand on a useless exhaust but I am sure they would also spend the $100 to fix the brake cable. If not then I know they at least would have shut the car off and put it in gear as they went to put the dog in the house so it wouldn't have the slightest chance of rolling off.

yeah I am an asshole and I grind salt into the wound, but your self righteous comment deserved to be shot down...and I am just the man to pull the trigger

You won't get that at an Evo forum. It's split up there: People who hate Warrtalon (a member), and people who nut hug him.

It's always good to take everything into consideration. Use their words as suggestions, but not decisions.
I've gone by that rule for anything I've done and I've never been disappointed and I have no regrets.

People knock(ed) on my decisions but it ultimately comes down to what I want.

Nope. He's just a fucking dick to everyone who doesn't buy his "performance packages". Tells them they're wasting they're money on other products. He told me that I wasted my money on a Greddy cat-back, and instead I should have bought the Megan Racing exhaust.

lexus owner's club. Nice, but not very knowledgeable.

Kinda wierd. They're nice, in general. They bought these expensive cars (which now that we have one I say it's all about COMFORT since we are parents and don't have enough of a life to make it a status symbol), and now after all other things were first considered, they are now "getting into" their cars.

It was great for learning about the transmission reprogram and finding the Nav lockout override secret button sequence. Hard to "hang out there" since no one philosophizes. Gads, most of them still don't know why different octanes exist and when it's appropriate to use.

On another note... I'd say every car crowd has bad representation. The G35 crowd has rich blingers who get a real car and put a knowledgeless monkey
behind the wheel (themselves). Whereas the Civic crowd has the moronic 2FST2FURIOUS ricers who replicate hot wheel designs in real life and think that if it's loud enough, it must be fast.

I can go on:

Hummer: selfish asscracks who armor themselves up with blatent disregard for their fellow citizens safety (and drive that way)

Prius: 2 groups: rich wanna be green who think they are saving the planet or morons who can't do the math to realize plunking down $20k+ for a car to squeeze 4miles more out of a $2.60 gallon of gas is NOT good economics

Big SUV/Trucks: unless you're a construction worker, farmer, etc that actually NEEDS the truck... commuting a 6 ton truck is just to make up for a little dick

BMW/benz: rich assholes who wish there was some way to rid the earth of the "unwashed masses"; or at least keep em corralled somewhere out of sight so they can still spend money to buy your companies doodad.

This can go on forever... heh

Oh well the G35 forum thought that I shouldn't allow STARR! my white German Shepherd to ride in the car....If I didn't want to allow the dog in the car I would be looking for a 2 seater. How can anyone say that a dog like this should be denied a ride.....

the G35 forum on freshalloy is whack. like you guys said, they're new school riceboys with $$$. most common mods are tinted windows, diamond plate floormats, and smoked taillights :doh: most of them have never done any work on their own cars either.
