QUOTE(auroradude @ Mar 30 2005, 4:39 AM) Just proves my point more. Your family is wealthy enough to give you i bet just about w.e you want, rolling in 60-80 thousand dollar cars. They wouldnt let their poor ol son have the troubles of paying for all the upgrades for his car. So, dont talk smack about people who's parents bought their cars by calling them spoiled. When your family is just as rich and more. |

Haha, you mofo. My parents gave me money and shit when i had my permit. For gas, for food, whatever. Because i was running errands for them. They still give me some gas money if i do some errands. I still payed for the car and all accessories myself.
Just because my dad likes to drive nice cars doesnt mean im gonna be driving a 80k car. Theres a moron up the street here who buys his 17 year old dauighter a new bmw 540i. she wrecked it the fifrst month she had it. I would rather have my own car that i bought anyway. It makes me appreciate shit more cause its money i earned from working etc. What, did you parents buy your subby or whatever the hell you got? |

QUOTE(auroradude @ Feb 17 2005, 7:02 PM) i wouldnt drive if that was the only car i could get. why would i pay 10 grand for a 1996 civic when i can pay 4 grand and get a 1997 aurora that not only looks a HELL of a lot better but also has a big V8 motor dude.. get off the cars d**k.... the aurora is a family sedan. wtf... besides. honda's last longer than most domestics. especially the accord. they last just about a decade, maybe even longer. |

Family sedan that also is very safe and has a ton of great features standard that even some new hondas today dont even have.
Yo, i dont care about how long Honda's last. Any used car is only going to last depending how well the previous owner(s) took care of it. I dont care if an Accord has a reliability rating of 5 stars and some owners get over 300k out of them. That isnt going to apply to a mofo that leases a new accord, doesnt change the oil for 30k miles and then some unsuspecting owner buys it. My car has all the service records. The engine was maintained meticulously. I have to take good care of it especially with how i drive too. And an accord is a "family sedan" too, the 4 dr one anyway. Oh and if anything decides to take a dump on my car, i will always fix it. Besides I'd rather have safety over an econobox that gets 35mpg and will crumple to pieces in a 20mph front-end collision. You saw my dads car when it was hit..or didnt you? The rear end of the Jaguar was hit at 53mph (speedo was stuck on the Saturn that hit it) and didnt even bash in the rear end. When they took off the bumper cover, it was a huge piece of steel. The bumper wasnt even crushed. Here: ![]() That is me in the black right next to my dad in the blue suit over there telling me something about how f**ked up the trans is how it wouldnt shift into drive. ![]() I wish i had a pic of that saturn vue. 28,000 in damage to the jaguar. |

LMAO oh you are funny. My car aint an old womans car. When i first got it, then yes you could say it was, but not now. There are several people around here that say" Thats an Oldsmobile!?" Everyone comments on how nice it is.
Just attempted to race some kid today driving a completely tricked-out Acura Integra. I didnt know he had a turbocharger on it though. he was sitting there revving it trying to show off to some girls so i told him lets go, he just said "aight" . at the light I took him from the line, like i knew i would, and my car rocketed to 6000rpm owning his ass, but i lost it when the tranny shifted to 2nd at 4500rpm and i heard that turbo WHOOSH. That f**king integra really sounded like an auto trans....HMMMMM I had my XRS 9700 on city mode not higwhay, and there was a cop right down the road with the gun out the window. my radar goes off POP DETECTED POP DETECTED. i was so lucky. |

so your racing a car that isn't meant to be raced. i dunno man. so far ikayto makes more sense. points he's proven do seem to be true :) we all know if your parents have money and have nice cars they sure the hell wont give there son a beat car. im sure they payed 95% of it. it happens dude. it's okay. no need to be in denial. your aurora has minor mods to it. doesn't mean it's a fullblown race car. but what do i know? i own a p.o.s. supra

QUOTE(auroradude @ Mar 30 2005, 5:37 AM) LMAO i am not saying my car is a racecar nor is the best. I have stated that many times. I am not saying it is going to beat any car out there. If it were a 5-speed manual though i would Btw i am not going to crash this car. I am a very good driver. I first jumped into a car people thought i been driving for 2 or 3 years. gotta run to school mofos hahahaha. if you had a 5speed you'd own everyone on the road.. |

What size engine is in that supra and what have you done to it? I would like to know. Yes i am racing a car that is not meant to be raced. The car is not beat, the engine certainly is not and the components are in great shape. Its been fully maintained and runs flawlessly with only 70k miles and Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 10w-30 changed every 5k. I only put 400 miles a month on.
I do not race all the time. It will kill the tranny from all the severe punishment. Thats why i dont like to overdo it. Why punish a car that has treated me great. Only when i feel like it, or if its a really nice day out and i want to open it up a bit. I have had it up over 110, but i dont take it anymore cause there are too many cops. I have ZR rated tires and the limiter activates at 139MPH, so there is plenty more speed that could be seen. Hey, when i go to the dragstrip again this season i will mount the camera on my new dash mount and you can see me run the high 14 quarter mile again. Thats pretty damn good for a 4000lb family sedan IMHO. I will post the time slips from the last one when i get home today. You people can think what you like, but its a whole lot different from reality. I like the protection my car offers. So much steel, it feels like you are driving an army tank when you are behind the big steering wheel. It feels great knowing you are driving something big too. Granted, it wont stand up to a 18 wheeler, but i have a better shot than most people. When i saw how bad that 02 Si was, i knew from that time i would never buy a Honda or any other small car. And yes, i am judging the quality of build and safety from this particular scene , and many others. I am biased. For a car that was only going 25mph, and a big ass caddy Deville hits it at 50mph, killed 2 occupants and not a scratch to the old man. No way. That thing was stock too. He was a really nice kid, straight A honor student. The insurance on that thing was probably rediculously high too. |

dude i dont know what ur trying to get out of this first you said if you had a 5 speed you would race but u just recently said you raced and integra.... wtf? in respect to all automobile enthusiasts please just leave imports and domestics alone. they are all automobiles with different features which makes every car different and one of a kind in their own way. some people like pinto's some like ferrari's but do you see anyone that owns an old school mini cooper and saying its better than a ferrari? a mini cooper is a cool car cause its really small. a ferrarri is cool cause its exotic and fast. if you want to say how good your car is then go into an oldsmobile forum or something. why is there a dispute about imports and domestics in a programming forum?

I thought i answered it before. I have my own computer business. I repair computers, I set up wireless networks. I set up wired networks. I will add anything to a computer or build you one from scratch. I have been doing this since i was 15. I charge 200 for each wireless network setup and $20.00 an hour for computer work. To buiild a computer, just depends what you want in it. Typically, if you want a shit box with shit components about $500 is what i usually charge for components then 200 or so to build it since it takes no time. Fully insured, registered etc. Since my dad has his own business he helped me set it up. He payed the $1000 to get registered and insured, so that really helped. After i marketed it a lot, i made 2 grand in no time. Already had $5000 saved since i was 12 anyway, so i basically already had enough money for the car. It was just the repairs that ate the money right up. All the money i made over the summer was spent on fixing the damn problems. All is forgiven once you jump in and drive however...purrs like a kitten.
I am building my site. I will pot it here for everyone to loko at when its finished. Just the gfx design is taking me a while. I can do the CSS in no time. |
