11. That’s rude and childish. There is no legitimate reason to own a car that loud that is not a purpose built race car.
12. The grill was removed from my Camaro. No bow-tie except the one on the factory emblem on the bumper cover, and that’s really small. Front plates are ugly as sin anyway.
13. I’m antisocial. I could care less what other people think for the most part.
14. Not married. The girlfriend bought a 2004 GTO because she liked it.
15. Mickey Thompson ET Drags work pretty well for me. I’m curious to see how the 26x11.5x16 M&H RaceMasters work at the track on the C5.
16. Shake a fist at me and you had better know how to use it.
17. Hasn’t happened yet.
18. My cars aren’t that loud.
19. I’ve actually gone so far as to remove the lowering springs from my Camaro. They won’t hook for **** anyway.
20. I didn’t buy any of my cars for the fuel economy. I can average 28mpg in the C5 on the highway, though.
21. I am financially responsible and wouldn’t spend money I didn’t have.
22. Why wouldn’t I? Leaning on someone’s car is ******* rude and disrespectful.
23. I mind the local authorities staring at my car.
24. I’m not conceded.
25. I don’t have time for that bullshit.
26. No, not quite.
27. I’d rather pay a shop to do it.
28. Not mine.
29. I guess some people have nothing better to do than to sit at traffic lights for their own amusement. Wow. That must be one miserable existence.
30. Not my idea of an introduction.
31. Why not just fix the ******* thing?
32. Street racing is gay.
33. Maybe I don’t break the law enough to constantly feel like a criminal. A clear conscience is a nice thing to have.
34. I can’t imagine my life being so pathetic that I cup holder would brighten up my day, let alone whole week.
35. I don’t try to impress people with my cars. Most people think of Camaros and Trans Ams as they type of car that Joe Dirt would drive. I’d rather impress someone with my wit, humor and gigantic *****.
36. I can’t imagine someone being that **** about a six, or more year old car that can trace its’ lineage directly to the IROC Camaro of the mid 1980s.
37. The horn is there for a reason. Rev your engine enough times and you are bound to draw some unwanted attention at some point.
38. It’s a ******* car. If you want it to be perfect, lock it in your climate control garage and throw away the ignition keys. Cars were built to be driven. They are not priceless artwork.
39. I can think of hundreds of things I’d rather do than take a longer route home just for ***** and giggles.
40. Never once have I put that much thought into the closing of a car door.
41. Get your **** out of the hatch before you wash the car. What am I missing here?
42. I’d look pretty ******* stupid with 26x7.5x15 Mickey Thompson Sportsmans on the back end of my car. Or if we’re talking about my street tires, I just replace them as they wear out. I wouldn’t waste money running drag radials on the front end of a rear wheel drive car.
43. I think the GM engineers did a pretty decent job for the most part.
44. I have yet to change a power window motor in an f body. They work fine.
45. If I want a car that was cheap on gas I’d buy a ******* Kia. If I wanted something fast and decent on gas I’d get a one liter sport bike. There is usually a happy medium somewhere.
46. Street racing is gay.
47. Street racing is gay.
48. My daily beater runs fine.
49. I’m usually looking for an iron engine block.
50. I’ll give in to this one. Guilty.
2. I consider my twelve bolt to be preventative maintenance.
3. More like every few months.
4. I’d rather keep my driving privileges.
5. I don’t do that, and people that say that have never heard F1 cars in person.
6. My cars are not that loud.
7. Not me.
8. I don’t care that much.
9. Rather take pics of the girlfriend.

51. Not married. The girlfriend could really care less. She makes more money than I do anyway.
52. I really don’t care that much.
53. Someone who would disassociate with a friend over a comment about their car doesn’t deserve friends and probably doesn’t really have any.
54. She doesn’t give a **** about Camaros or Firebirds. She likes Ferraris, though.
55. He sounds like a real angel. His parents must be so proud.
56. I spent $400 on dinner for 4 people in Manhattan on Friday night. I haven’t spent that much on detailing supplies since I bought my first car.
57. I have no idea what day my car was built on. It a car. An inanimate object. It doesn’t have a ******* birthday.
58. I’ve never been asked that question. I can’t imagine that I’d like her telling me that she loves her horses more than me. The way I look at it, my car isn’t going to cook me dinner or give me a blow job.
59. Nope. I don’t pay any attention to them. I have nothing to prove. I’ll gladly line up with a big talking ricer at the track, but I won’t do it for free.
60. I have bigger aspirations for myself.
61. Just once. I don’t have OCD.
62. That is one of the more ridiculous things I’ve read, and I’ve read some pretty ridiculous stuff just on this board alone.
63. That’s just not healthy. Life is far too short to be worried about door dings on a car with composite doors.
64. I’d like to keep my hearing ability.
65. Uh, no. I have a practice tree at home, though.
66. There aren’t any. None that I’ve seen, anyway.
67. That didn’t happen to me. I’m having the entire engine changed though.
68. I did nothing of the sort. I do, however, know when to use the words “your and “you’re”.
69. All costs? No. Not even close. I try to avoid them usually, but if my car gets dirty because of a puddle that wasn’t easily avoided, I’ll get over it. Now missing a shift and bending four intake valves. That ruined my day. I sure as **** didn’t expect any sympathy for it either.
70. Nothing I own is lowered to the point of not being able to navigate public roads. That would not be very practical.
71. I would only have them if the car was equipped with them from new. I can’t imagine installing them later.
72. Is that supposed to be difficult?
73. By casting number, my car has a “Suburban engine.”
74. This is why I love my state issued carry permit. I don’t have to depend on the cops any more.
75. I doubt that Martin Luther King had a GM vehicle on his mind when he made that famous speech of his.
76. I cringe when I think of the thousands and thousands of dollars I’ve spent on it. I think, “What the **** is wrong with me? I could have bought a car just like this, already built for half the monetary investment!” Then I think to myself, “Oh yeah, I’m still not ******* done with it…” Then I log on to LS1Tech and buy some more **** for these ******* money pits.
77. I don’t mind getting out of bed every morning. I have to get up eventually, might as well go to work. They even give me a paycheck every Friday.
78. I really don’t put that much thought into backing out of a parking spot.
79. I don’t really attend gatherings, and if I did I probably wouldn’t make a scene like that. It kind of reminds me of when a ricer sees my car in traffic headed the opposite direction, and feels the need to sound off his fart pipe, like I give a ****.
80. I’d just let him fly by me. Street racing is gay, roll racing is even worse.
81. Never happened to me. I wouldn’t make my car that loud. I don’t want to have a head ache every time I drive my car. I also value my ability to hear.
82. I do burn outs to make my tires sticky, not to impress people that I don’t know.
83. I’d feel like a real ******* if that happened to me.
84. There is no legitimate reason to do something like that.
85. That isn’t something I’d be proud of.
86. Call me crazy, but I’d rather travel an hour to the track and not worry about my car getting impounded or losing my driving privileges.
87. No. My windows go up and down just fine.
88. Not quite.
89. Never heard of it, but it doesn’t sound very appealing.
90. I really don’t give it that much thought.
91. Sounds like something a Honda owner would do.
92. It’s really not that hard to adapt.
93. I hardly ever use 6th gear, except on the highway. Most five speed cars feel just fine to me.
94. My cell phone background is the “Magma” image that was set on there by Nextel when I bought the phone.
95. That would be black/purple C5 owned by Mike Romain. That’s one incredible vehicle.
96. Most of the people I work with don’t really care about what I drive.
97. I almost never do this. I don’t want anyone’s opinion. I’d rather use the search feature and just wade through the bullshit. There are a few people whose advice I’d trust, but if you don’t search you’ll often get the wrong info anyway from some dumbshit. Some people tend to recommend parts that they have, just because they have them.
98. If someone asked me that I’d tell them that I can afford my cars because I have two jobs, put in a lot of hours, I’ve made some smart investments and I’m a gigolo on the side.
99. These parking lot horror stories don’t seem to happen to me.
100. I could really care less who notices what on my car. I built the car for me. If someone notices that area and has the nerve to point it out to me, they can ******* clean it for all I care.
52. I really don’t care that much.
53. Someone who would disassociate with a friend over a comment about their car doesn’t deserve friends and probably doesn’t really have any.

101. Sounds like a nice place to live. Way to make your trailer park look like even more of a shithole. I’m sure the neighbors appreciate all the marks you leave there. Why not do some NASCAR style donuts in their front yards? I’ll bet they’d get a real kick out of that.
102. Don’t have any kids.
103. What did I blow up?
104. I’d rather they didn’t. The employees at most of those places seem like the type that can’t remember their own names, let alone the names of the customers. I prefer to buy things like spark plugs and filters online, it’s usually cheaper that way. For car wash supplies, Sears Hardware is usually pretty well stocked and they’re often cheaper.
105. That doesn’t make any sense.
106. I don’t have that problem. If I did, I’d just ******* fix it. I don’t make it a habit of driving a car with fucked up head lights. It’s not the smartest thing to do.
107. Fixed antenna on both cars.
108. That is the dumbest thing I’ve read in this entire thread. There were quite a few things that were on a Jessica Simpson level, but this… This is borderline George W. Bush talk. I am truly embarrassed on behalf LS1 owners everywhere.
109. Doesn’t bother me, I don’t spend much time there.
110. It make’s perfect sense to me. The car is built in Australia, not in the states where assembly line workers make entirely too much money for the job’s they do. I hate hearing people bitch when car makers move their plants to Mexico to cut costs. Why wouldn’t they? It makes no sense to pay somebody fifty grand a year or more to do a job that Ricardo Sanchez in Tijuana will do with pride for ten thousand a year with no benefits. If Ricardo were to go on strike, they’d have a hundred ************* in line waiting to take that job that day.
111. My Camaro ran pretty good (low low 12s full weight) with just bolt ons, but that sounds like an exaggeration to me.
112. What traction control?
113. I switch back and forth and this doesn’t really happen to me.
114. Feels like normal GM to me.
115. Think of this when you’re bitching about filling your gas tank a few lines up. Call me crazy, but it I’m happy to let someone else drive me around. Hell, some people even pay other people to drive them around. Sounds crazy doesn’t it? These out-of-the-box thinkers can usually be found in large cities and near airports. They have a tendency to paint their cars yellow.
116. Hard tops only for this guy. Although driving around with your tops off and the heater is like blasting your stereo with ear plugs in your ears to me. Just sounds like a dumb thing to do.
117. That just sounds like common sense. I’d do that with any car,
118. I don’t haul groceries in my car. I use my daily beater for menial tasks like that.
119. I guess wood blocks have gotten significantly more complicated since I drove up on them last week. Jacking up a car really isn’t rocket science, folks.
120. I don’t own one of those. I have secure garage, a good insurance policy and a very large collection of fire arms. Come and get it, I dare you.
121. If I were that genuinely concerned, I’d invest in seat covers.
122. My car’s aren’t low mileage and pristine. They’re certainly respectable, but I drive the **** out of them. I don’t drive them in the snow, but that’s about the only thing that would keep my cars at home if I felt like driving them. That’s what they were built for.
123. Street racing is gay.
124. **** that. If I feel like driving my car, I’m driving the damn thing. If I get some salt on it, I’ll wash it off. It’s really not a big deal to me. Especially on the C5. Fiberglass body, aluminum frame. That **** won’t rust.
125. If I did that, I would have replaced multiple engines by now.
126. That’s just silly.
127. I don’t wave at anyone unless I know them.
128. Pull the e-brake handle up one notch. Again, not rocket science.
129. Wouldn’t they have to pay for the server space before I’d be able to do that?
130. My girlfriend bought a 2004 GTO, she doesn’t give a flying **** about how it works. She gets the car serviced at the Chevy dealer, I have enough **** to do with my own cars. As long as it starts and gets her around, she doesn’t care what’s going on under the hood. She has more important things to worry about.
131. My car must be blessed then. I don’t have these window troubles that seem to plague every other Camaro or Firebird built.
132. Nope. I’m Jake, that’s how I introduce myself. It’s not hard to figure out who I am online. I’m the same cynical ***** in person that I am online.
133. It’s a car, not a ******* china cabinet. Close it by the door handle.
134. I drove the C5 back and forth to work every day this week, I averaged 26mpg. I can’t complain. I drive the beater to keep the mileage off the Camaro and the C5. I don’t mind buying gas, but every time I mash the go pedal I’m not surprised when the gas gauge drops. It’s a simple case of cause and effect. This is not brain surgery.
135. Cut outs on street cars are
in my mind. They should be used at the track only, not on a street car that barely makes enough horsepower to cause the stock cat back to become a restriction. If you want to make noise, buy your self some air horns and a kazoo. They’ll annoy people just as much as a cut out, but at a greatly reduced price. It doesn’t matter if a car was built by Honda, Chevy or Ferrari… Slow cars with loud pipes are ******* lame. I’ve personally seen 13 second Z28s and T/As going down the track that were a lot louder than my 500+hp 408 Camaro. That just isn’t a cool thing to do. I can understand wanting to have a nice stealthy exhaust for cruising around on the street, then uncorking it at the strip for max power. It’s entirely different to think that driving around in your basically stock car with exhaust loud enough to set of car alarms is cool. It just isn’t.
102. Don’t have any kids.
103. What did I blow up?
104. I’d rather they didn’t. The employees at most of those places seem like the type that can’t remember their own names, let alone the names of the customers. I prefer to buy things like spark plugs and filters online, it’s usually cheaper that way. For car wash supplies, Sears Hardware is usually pretty well stocked and they’re often cheaper.

130. My girlfriend bought a 2004 GTO, she doesn’t give a flying **** about how it works. She gets the car serviced at the Chevy dealer, I have enough **** to do with my own cars. As long as it starts and gets her around, she doesn’t care what’s going on under the hood. She has more important things to worry about.
131. My car must be blessed then. I don’t have these window troubles that seem to plague every other Camaro or Firebird built.
132. Nope. I’m Jake, that’s how I introduce myself. It’s not hard to figure out who I am online. I’m the same cynical ***** in person that I am online.
133. It’s a car, not a ******* china cabinet. Close it by the door handle.
134. I drove the C5 back and forth to work every day this week, I averaged 26mpg. I can’t complain. I drive the beater to keep the mileage off the Camaro and the C5. I don’t mind buying gas, but every time I mash the go pedal I’m not surprised when the gas gauge drops. It’s a simple case of cause and effect. This is not brain surgery.
135. Cut outs on street cars are
in my mind. They should be used at the track only, not on a street car that barely makes enough horsepower to cause the stock cat back to become a restriction. If you want to make noise, buy your self some air horns and a kazoo. They’ll annoy people just as much as a cut out, but at a greatly reduced price. It doesn’t matter if a car was built by Honda, Chevy or Ferrari… Slow cars with loud pipes are ******* lame. I’ve personally seen 13 second Z28s and T/As going down the track that were a lot louder than my 500+hp 408 Camaro. That just isn’t a cool thing to do. I can understand wanting to have a nice stealthy exhaust for cruising around on the street, then uncorking it at the strip for max power. It’s entirely different to think that driving around in your basically stock car with exhaust loud enough to set of car alarms is cool. It just isn’t. Last edited by Zger; 08-05-2007 at 10:38 PM.
