I went to a car wash today. The change despencer fucking stole my 5$ and refused to take my other 5$ bill. :( Than I got another 5 off some one the washer unit accepted it. I drive my car at night mainly and there was a shit ton of bugs on the front. [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1031910/Pic%27s/IMG_20120320_180531.jpg[/t] Fuuuck me.
those poor seats
[QUOTE=Watevaman;35226394]those poor seats[/QUOTE] I'm actually happy he kept the OEM seat covers on. They keep the leather in pristine condition. I'm going to be taking the seat covers off though ;)

Welp my Civic shat on me, at Jap's house as soon as I pulled up. Probably saw his piece of a CRX and didn't want to live anymore. Kidding, of course. Today was a pretty shit day Hopefully tomorrow goes better, have a deal I'm working on a car that I'm hoping to get. It's some black and yellow Chevrolet or something :v: [editline]21st March 2012[/editline] [img]http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg39/scaled.php?server=39&filename=dsc0028ou.jpg&res=medium[/img] c:
My truck is insured so I can drive it now, kick ass. Also I've recent become enveloped in the world of hard tail choppers, found this on kijiji and I'm thinking I can convince my parts to meet up with the guy I could buy it as It is in my price range.

Would love to get it done up like this: [thumb]http://www.bikeexif.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/wrenchmonkees_triumph.jpg[/thumb]
Some how we just got like 3" of snow dumped on us so I took the car out for some slides! I left when it had just dusted the ground and by the time I got back my bumper was plowing it..

[QUOTE=Watevaman;35231115]everybody and their mom has white, bronze, or black wheels fluorescent colors are awesome[/QUOTE] There's a reason everyone and their mom has white, bronze or black wheels. Fluorescent ones look awful and distract other motorists. The rims in that video, as I said earlier, would look fucking awesome if they were a more normal color. A matte white powdercoat would be best with that body color IMO. Besides, all rims turn brown over time anyways. Yours, mine, his, all of them.

Low Horsepower and torque unless you turbo it out the ass. Always gets less MPG than a modern V8, while still having way less power.

Always gets less MPG than a modern V8, while still having way less power.[/QUOTE] Considering I heard a turbine spool when he did that burnout, it is turbo'd out the ass. I'm well aware of the shortfalls of a wankel, but that car should have been able to do a smokier burnout than that. I've seen videos of box stock RX7s doing much smokier burnouts. The turbo was louder than the engine it was attached to, where's all that boost going?
It's not a real turbo, it's just a loudspeaker nailed into the frame. I've actually had an Integra with one of those try to race me, funny shit.
>burnout wasn't smokey >it's the car, definitely not the tires Aside from that, quoted insurance on my Civic and the Corvette to compare the two to my dad Civic: $63 a month liability Corvette: $52 a month liability I'm okay with this.
I'm looking at getting this 525iA to replace my old GMC Sierra next week- [url]http://www.carsoup.com/Tulsa/vehicle/detail.aspx?vehicleid=16425028&rdt=4[/url]
Hnng, gas prices jumped from 1,304$/L to 1,394$/L (5,28$/Gal) today. What a good fucking surprise.
People, take my advice. When you need more smoke, bleach the tires.
even better, people, take my advice. When you don't smoke those tyres, they'll last longer! tyres are expensives :(

[QUOTE=ThermalArc;35237577]even better, people, take my advice. When you don't smoke those tyres, they'll last longer! tyres are expensives :([/QUOTE] That's why you buy used tires for when you want to do a burnout.

I know you take pride in your car, that's fine, and really good. But RX-7's aren't fast unless you spend tens of thousands in mods. Brand New, your era of RX-7 hit 60 in 7.7 seconds, that is backed up by Mazda, the very people who made the car. The 93-95 era ones are capable of being competitive with todays V6, Turbocharged Inline-4 sports sedans. But certainly not V8 pony or sports cars.
