I don't know what happened here after I logged off last night, but I can only imagine it wasn't good.


Im going to wash the car in a few minutes. Then go look for a good spot to take pics.

I'm SERIOUSLY looking forward to some new pictures. My ex boss was telling me he's considering the new dodge dart...I already told him about your car and sent him some pictures of what this car looks like modded and told him he NEEDS to get this.

Yeah, had to do some thread cleaning.


This is not Ramblings and even I got my butt kicked recently for "whoring" up a car-talk thread in here (the phantom LFA thread).

So, rules are rules...applies to all of us.

As the guy that called that guy out within the first 2 pages, I was SHOCKED that that thread hadn't gotten moved to Ramblings before getting locked (it's locked, right?). I don't see how anyone could be reprimanded for anything that happens in a troll created thread...



That said, we do tend to take the friendly banter and comments off the deep end a lot, so we can all try and curb that a bit.

Ok, one last thing...your avatar, Morgan. Although I love it, the contrast between the orange paint of the garfield portion and the actual skin color makes it look likes she's pale, or dead, or both. Kinda off putting.

Is talking about being off-topic considered off-topic?

Ever used the back seats?

I want this:





AutoFactory has a dry CF roof as well. It weights 1/3rd the weight of the stock roof. Its $2500 not including freight, taxes, or installation.

Do it. Way better than a fake CF wrap...or wood grain on your engine covers.

In a way its only fair to apologize to you to Morgan, irregardless of your own hand in it , its your thread






2500 not a bad idea, although you could cut off your roof, make it a targa, save all the weight and look

I showed up in here a mere few minutes before Yummy started dusting and vacuuming the place! Suddenly, everything was gone!

I found the feeling reminiscent of being busted by one's parents

This is not a chat thread. If you guys want to banter about cars generally, srika kindly created a thread in Car Talk already for that. And if you want to go OT, well, you guys have a number of threads in the other sub-forums to PW in.

I saw a frs parked right next to a 350 z, they looked to be almost identical in width





I was too lazy to get a picture, or look up the specs

But pictures and numbers only say so such when placed side by side with something is when you get a real feel for it, i found it to be surprising. I've a few rolling around, and one up close that i got to play with a little, when i saw it next to the z i got a better prospective of if

Oh, word...you live near there, huh...
if that's Bird and the Palmetto, you're very near Betty's parent's house. I think she even worked at that Best Buy 10 years ago.

The FRS doesn't look that wide, but I guess it is. If you measured, I think the explorer is wider.

Update on pics - The dock I wanted to go to is actually on private party and there is a gate, so I can't get in. I went to a backup location, get the car parked where I wanted it, pulled out the camera - dead. It had a full fucking battery when I used it last week.

The battery is on the charger and the car is in the garage, so itll still be clean for pics tomorrow morning.

Pics will be uploaded tomorrow night after work. I took today and yesterday off so tomorrow is most likely going to be a long day.

The FR-S suffers from George Costanza Syndrome. Its wide and short, so it gives it a squatty appearance. The Explorer may be just as wide if not wider, but it doesnt look it since its taller.
