[QUOTE=VQ35HR;26327716]okay the engineers behind the BMW M3 just make the parts then they magically put them together and bam, it drives! what you said first about buying expensive cars is stupid, there`s a reason the cars are expensive, if you`re going to buy an M3, the car is stringently tested to make sure each of the parts work how they`re supposed to, that something isn`t too big or too small and that you can get the most horsepower with the best ride quality and dependability. when you`re building something, you`re just one guy with some shit you bought off the internet, have fun testing how aerodynamic the car is in your garage with some fans and a piece of cardboard (this is for high performance cars, since you mentioned spending a lot of money) you keep saying stupid generalizations like that, how `it`s stupid to spend a lot of money on a car when you can just do it all yourself and if you don`t you`re lazy`, no, no it`s fucking not[/QUOTE] Wow you're an idiot. Chill out...again. OF COURSE a BMW is going to be put together better than anybody in a garage could.Any high quality car would period. But..... I was TALKING ABOUT A TRUCK. An offroading truck to be exact. AND OF COURSE they put a lot of effort into precisely designing how to put the parts together. But that doesnt mean that they wont work as well put together a different way.

[QUOTE=TicTac;26337131]Does the tape on your headlights make it go faster?[/QUOTE] Does your lack of knowledge for older cars make you funny?

You guys just don't get it.
Let's see what some JDM forums have to say about it; "i tape my headlights when i race and it is to keep the glass of the track... usually its not just an X they have you tape then completely over." "Exactly, that X over your headlights is for fake track whores, you're required to tape the whole headlight and sometimes the tail light."
I like the tape. Haters gonna hate.
[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;26337874]I'd think you were taking it to a demo derby because of the headlights.[/QUOTE] this this this it's a road car, not a demo derby car, so I still don't see the use of the tape

[QUOTE=D0C H.;26344059]great counter argument. hard to refute that one! :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] I only said it because I`m tired of repeating the same point to try and get through your thick skull. You`re not ultra-cool because you work on your car, no one really cares. Sure it`s a preference and some may like it better than buying a new car but in no way is it better, so stop trying to think so `I can`t afford a nice car so I'm going to say that working on my shitty car is better than a brand new car, I mean seriously getting expensive cars is a waste of money` I respect people that work on their cars but I also respect buying new cars, stop making yourself seem so elite.

You don't DARE go offroad into areas i can take mine into with one of those. You smack the side of a tree and you fuck your whole truck up, i smack a tree and tear it down. (I'm not in this argument, just sayin) Granted if you aren't into offroading, maybe buying a new car is the way to go, you don't need to worry about your car getting smashed up...

I think both could be better than the other in different cases.

[b]I enjoy[/b] the personal touch a vehicle gets when its personally worked on and customized by the owner.[/QUOTE] Did I say that people who buy new expensive cars were less than me. I did say they were lazy. But the whole conversation started because I was talking about an expensive "offroad" truck, when you could build one just as good for offroading for arguably cheaper. I also never claimed buying new cars was a waste of money. Now take your pissy little need for an argument somewhere else. [editline]27th November 2010[/editline] I checked. Nowhere did I say "Its a waste of money to buy a new car"
