Has he ever read Strunk & White's Elements of Style?

I can't be bothered by what I don't see. My ignore list is short but notable.

I don't have anyone, yuppies included, race me (that I can tell), but I do sometimes put tail-gating or aggressive mother****ers well back in my rearview mirror. I'm sure I'll get a ticket someday for this stunt, but I like that the third and fourth gears are ideally suited for leaping from 65 - 90 in a couple of heartbeats. The conservative, law-abiding driver would pull over and/or slow down, but sometimes on these roads, pulling into the draft of a detritus-spewing dump truck or languid tractor trailor or distracted yuppie/soccer mom on the cell phone is not the preferred option. Down shift, warp speed, problem solved. The moral of this story: my TSX ain't a "sports car," but it sure plays the part when I ask it to.

 

I thought the TSX got me from 60-90 fast enough when i needed to "get away from those jerks" up until my buddy pulled up next to me in his brand new BMW 3 series coupe and make me look like i was standing still

He let me drive it after that fact and HOLY CRAP!!!! Our cars are NOT sports cars.....

 

Around here, Subis love to blow my doors off. I think they need to show they got $40k performance for $25K.

Heard a 16 year old boy killed three with a WRX, passing a trailer at 90mph in a 30 mph zone. The WRX replaced a riced out prelude he totalled. What were his parents thinking? This is a good compromise off the STI?

 

On Sunday I had a Porsche Cayenne S rev at me since I got out of the gym.

I'm not an idiot, so I did nothing but just go at normal speeds (was in a 35 zone anyways) but he just flew off. Too bad there are lights every 100 feet, and for the next 4 lights, he got a red light.

So every time we were stopped at the lights, he would rev like crazy glancing over to see what I was doing.

Either he just got the Porsche and was testing it, or always drives like that...

Car looked damn nice, but guy looked like a douchebag...

 

That's such a common combination.

 

Laughing your ass off at him, I hope. (Like the girls in the convertible in the free credit report tv ad.) At that rate, his brakes and tranny won't last beyond the decade. -- The Cayenne is an SUV, right? Did he think "Cayenne" was the new "Carrera?"

Maybe you should move before one of these brats totals you and your car....

 

OR ... "his sugar mommy let him drive the Cayenne for the night." (rimshot)

 

Yeah, I was worried about his brakes...

I just got new brake pads installed, so I've been gentle on mine these days.

 

I got a chance to drive the Cayenne a couple years ago and I'll just say that even though it's an SUV, it's still very much a Porche. Those things are such an absurd creation. It scares the hell out of me how many soccer moms I see in them. The twin turbo version has 450 horsies rocketing it's 5000 pounds around. Yikes.

 

yea i was thinkin about one of those wrx but i didnt get it the interior sucks and then i would have had to change the whole stereo and put a flip down but the limited package i think got leather but the 08s are uglyyyyyyyyy tsx haS better class fuck all that p0wer in subarus

 

My god you make me want to punch you.

USE FUCKING SENTENCES!

You've just earned my very first ignore.

 

Fixed

Acurazine.....bringing road rage to the internet.

 

Is this a sports car?



It was taken on the Hot Rod Power Tour in Ohio. The photographers son in the passengers seat.

 

Well done!

 

With you I'd call it a mid-life crisis, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

 

tsx4lyfe I'm seriously going to ban you if you don't start posting ABOVE A 3rd GRADE READING LEVEL. This is a forum not a txt msg.

 

We mid-lifers call it a "transformation," but it's the same anyway.
Thank you. I started to post a gentle scolding and caught myself before submitting. Then again, maybe he's posting from a Crackberry or iPhone....

 

Neither lacks a period key.

I know I'm being excessively harsh but the comfort with mediocrity of much of today's youth causes me great distress about the future of our civilization. Stupid must not be allowed to proliferate.

 

Amen brother. Perhaps with a little more friendly reminding and the occasional scolding from our members, these slackers will remember that they did once get a lesson in basic grammar.

 

Even if that is true, most have full size QWERTY keyboards. There's not much of a reason to not type properly. Maybe I'm crazy, but when I text on my Treo I type just like I'm typing here (two fastest thumbs in the west!). It's easy enough and I still sound like I'm somewhat of an intelligent person.

i cant stand ppl who type like this b cuz their lazy it feels disrespectful and like im not worth their time 2 spend the extra 2nd 2 use proper language.

It's hard for me to do it, period. lol

 

Hell, I type with proper capitalization, punctuation and spelling using just the numeric pad on my phone when I send text messages.

It's funny when I see emails going around at work with people typing like that not realizing how stupid it makes them look. Believe me, important people notice.

 

yo both of u need to get out ur shells damm there is more problems in this world then talkin all properly u dont need to talk likk that wen ur not talkin to ur boss nd if u cant read this then ur all new to computer/ IM life damm shut up already

LMFAO U COULD BAN ME I DONT GIVE A FUCK! FUCK U REach ND FUCK THE PPL THAT ALL TALK LIK THEY ARE TALKING TO BOSSES LMAO THIS FORUM IS WACK FUCK ACURAZINE

 

There's no more 'tsx4lyfe' and no reason I can see to keep this thread open now. If anyone would like to open another thread to discuss the TSX's merits as a sports car, or why it isn't one, feel free to. This one is done.
