Well, there's no place for them to hide when it's all woods next to the road and the shoulder is barely wide enough for half your car :smug: I hate when they hide in driveways. Sneaky bitches.

Stupid cops hide in the orchards in west Michigan, annoying as hell. Just cruising that wham they fly out of the trees at you.

I'd hope with it being the Nismo version that they did something under the....hood? Or XXL batteries and motors.

triple A batteries

[Del91]

Naw man, D batteries.

Rechargeable and everything.

Holy crap that's bigger than I thought.

Whoooo... finally got my Carbon fiber Targa mounted. Leaks like a sieve, though. :s

[TheMourge]

[bodybagsam]

My first car, 6 years old and only 35000 miles, full service history and just had tax and mot. Nice car to drive I can get around 35-40 mpg in town and around 60-65 on the motorway so im very happy all around.

[c0nk3r]

*cough* cool rides *cough*

i mean sweet car

[Del91]

I'd drive it over my car.

Sweet rims breh. Question, Are you supposed to be parked on the sidewalk?

[NuclearAnnhilation]

I like cozier cars. Like almost at the point of being cramped but it's nice. I don't know, I also like small little houses and small rooms. I hate big roomy things

Derro - australian slang for derelict, namely teenage kids you dress like trailer trash, start smoking and drinking when they're 11 and learn their abuse of narcotics from their drug dealer/alcoholic/government support relying parents. Often live in government housing or low budget, dodgy rep suburbs.
International equivalents : Chav, 'gangsta', Adelay, Lad
*emo kid walks past*
Derro: Haii brahh, check out dat stupid fkn emo. Get im manh
Emo: Fuck off you derro loser. Go smoke some heroine
Derro: Yo brah what you say? Say dat to my face beetch. You wana start me ey?

also kalgoorlie is a place if you didn't already know that.

Pretty beat up, but shit, my dad is a stone cold bastard when it comes to negotiating for cars.

The guy originally wanted $2700 without coilovers, $3500 with.

My dad wore this kid down to $2500, with the coilovers, which I could pull off right now and probably sell them for $650 in less than a week.

Those are the wheels off my hatch by the way, I think they're staying on the car because the valve cover is a matching gold, like these wheels were meant for the car.

Edited:

I don't really want to drive it yet, the camber settings arent matching, and one rear tire has enough camber to clear the fender, but the left side, the tire is rubbing from not enough camber

You're not meant to but everyone does it, its a really quiet road so it's not a problem.

It took me a while to get used to.

Today was my 16th birthday, and I was expecting a PS3.
This is a fairly nice alternative.

[rampageturke 2]

ewww them vents and spoiler

Edited:

but a great car none-the-less

[Del91]

Loose all the doohickeys on the back, and the Faux vents, and then you've got a sweet ride.

[Cuon Alpinus]

I like the spoiler, but the vents, Racing sticker, and Fish badge are probably going to go.

[Blaster]

Lose the lights too

[bradley]

The lights aren't too bad. Not too much chrome...

Stock is better yeah but finding a set of stock lights will cost a lot, and they look fine for the time being. Lose the vents and the fish and you have a decent ride.

[rampageturke 2]

I thought the lights were stock vv

[Cuon Alpinus]

It's not really that bad since the chrome isn't very noticeable next to white paint.

Those rims look nice. Too bad the car is too low to actually ride on anything other than perfectly flat.

Living in Georgia is pretty good for driving. Living in the suburbs suck for it, but you can drive in any direction (except towards Atlanta) for about 30 min and have some of the best roads ever. Took these while I let my friend drive.





Basically these pictures for miles and miles.

True that, I live in Douglasville, Ga. Great curves and beautiful views. As dangerous as speeding is, I love speeding on these windy roads.

[JamesMay]

Figured I'd post some pictures up of my new(ish) car. She's a '93 Mazda MX-5. I've had her for about a month now, and last week I took her to a drift event. It was Santa-Pod's Drift What Ya Brung, to be exact. Here are a couple of snaps!





I'm aware I look ridiculously young in these pictures :D I'm actually 18, and the car is driven daily.

[ThatHippyMan]

Holy hell, it looks like you're having an awesome time. How well did you do?

Not bad! Got loads of encouragement from other drivers which was fab. It was stupidly good fun, my first time out driving a RWD car hard aswell. The place where I was driving had a fantastic atmosphere, there were complete noobs like me to British Drift Championship drivers there in 600bhp+ competition cars, yet everyone mingled and helped each other out! Will be attending a lot more, and I have some nifty plans for the car too :)

[ThatHippyMan]

It's always good when a place has a good track atmosphere. I can't wait to run Autocross in my VW this summer, those guys are cool as shit, too.

Atmosphere can make or break a track day imo. It really does matter.
