The Twilight movies have really cool and well-done action sequences everything else about them is trash
[QUOTE=RichyZ;47902376]the ae86 is the fedora of the car world adding a spoiler to it is like putting hotrod flame stickers onto the fedora[/QUOTE] Yes same for the AE86 but I'm referring to the Toyota 86/FT86/GT86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;47898740]Instead of completely disregarding something because you don't understand it, TRY to understand it, even if you don't agree with it. It's a rule of thumb for me. I'm not transsexual, but I can see why someone would be.[/QUOTE] That's simply not going to happen though. It's human nature unfortunately so the people who actually have the awareness to not do that sort of shit are in the minority by a long shot.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;47902282]Good. Cars with ridiculous spoilers or any kind of decals look stupid. Every time I see a Toyota 86 with one of those big Supra rear wings or any kind of rear wing I cry a little inside. Ruins what is otherwise a great car.[/QUOTE] Why is it any of your business how stupid people fuck up their cars? Their money, their bad taste.

I don't understand the widespread fascination with muscle/sports cars. Whenever people around me start talking shop about cars/engines I'm completely lost. I see 'em as a vehicle to get from point A to B. I don't look down on gearheads, its just not something I'm into and I feel that it sort of alienates me from the rest of the male population because it's one of those prototypical "manly" things.

Cars that look and sound cool that are also an escape from practicality. Thats probably what the muscle car scene is like in the United States, it's not the same here as our 'muscle cars' are almost-exclusively four-door sedans and two-door coupe utilities.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;47902781]Apparently I can't voice my opinion on how they look?[/QUOTE] You didn't, you said "good" as if you'd support an anti-ricer law. That's not voicing your opinion on how they look, that's saying you want a law to make cars you find ugly illegal. For the record, I find shit like this: [IMG]http://ricercarmods.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ricer-mods-8.jpg[/IMG] absolutely hideously ugly. But it's his waste of money. It doesn't hurt anyone, so why care?

[QUOTE=Antdawg;47902781]Apparently I can't voice my opinion on how they look?[/QUOTE] You can voice your opinion all you want but you sure as hell shouldn't be allowed to ban them.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;47902922]It hurts my eyes.[/QUOTE] Same here. Still not a reason to ban it.

[editline]8th June 2015[/editline] Anyways while on the topic of cars This [img]http://carandsuv.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/FPV-F6-E-fq-688x461.jpg[/img] Looks much better than this [img]http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2008/def/2008-Ford-Australia-FPV-GT-P-and-GT-GTP-Front-And-Passenger-Side-Tilt-Speed-1280x960.jpg[/img] Because unlike the latter it doesn't have a stupid bulged bonnet, doesn't have that stupid 'Boss 315' decal or the decal on the side, doesn't have a silly rear wing and doesn't have a 'loud' front bumper.
[QUOTE=usaokay;47902916]I get slightly irked when I see someone leak something out from E3.[/QUOTE] I get irked by leaks in general. What isn't leaked anymore? It seems like nothing remains a surprise until the day because the company's plans to announce it at whatever ideal time are splattered by whatever misguided email or hint in the source code.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;47903538]How is any of that obtrusive and/or gaudy? Is is such a cardinal sin to customize your car in any way, shape, or form?[/QUOTE] That's not custom, that's factory (both are factory). It's not very pleasant. But maybe that's because I like European, clean styling. Obviously an unpopular opinion here.
HSV's look way better than FPV's anyway. [img]http://www.barrybourkehsv.com.au/ssl/cms/images_cms/hsv-gen-f-Maloo-lg.jpg[/img]
I'd put the F6E and GTE in the same league as the current HSVs (the HSV Senator is my favourite), just that every other FPV model in the FG series doesn't look right. My favourite HSVs are from the old E1 series though. E1 Clubsport is as wild as I'd ever go for in a sports sedan. [t]http://wallpaperswiki.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Hsv-E1-Ls3-Clubsport-R8.jpg[/t] Biggest problem with current HSVs is they look like they're wearing bikinis on their back bumpers.
I quite like the Maloo/Ute version. [img]http://images.drive.com.au/drive_images/Editorial/2007/11/19/19HSV_m_m.jpg[/img]
I find cars really boring and don't see the interest in them. I drive and yeah would be nice to have a decent car, but only for it to actually get me from a to b. I really think its such a pointless thing to get your car lowered or to ad a spoiler in the back or a really obnoxious exhaust thats louder than a thunderstorm. Such a waste

One Piece is a primary example of a series that has gone about for far too long for its own good. And it doesn't help its case that the plot has barely gone anywhere in years of publications (the Marineford arc is the only recent arc that changed the world of the setting significantly and gave a new direction to several characters) And on a very subjective scale, sometimes I really can't dig Eiichiro Oda's particular drawing style, especially regarding female characters (it doesn't help that since he got married he started drawing more and more fabolous women into the series)
[QUOTE=Haskell;47885198]I agree, being optimistic about a subject can sometimes lead to you doing other things which in return are less optimistic.[/QUOTE] Like programming in Haskell. :>
