When I first came onto this forum and got blasted...People did talk ****... Let's see, they said -

-Go away ricer boy
-Go back to your Lexus Forum and stay off this one
-Your car needs Nitrous to match my N/A power.
- No wonder look what you drive
- Troll, moron, etc..

I just laughed... Oh the good ole days..

That's funny. Haven't had the car too long and haven't gotten many negative comments, but the same thing happened to me once. Came out of the grocery store, started it up and the lady next to me on her cell phone just rolls up her window. Looking forward to many memories like this

I have came out of movie theater's or stores plenty of times with notes under my windshield stating that my car is not that nice and how there CIVIC or Mustang will kill me. (I was double Parked but all the way on the farthest end in no ones way) I cant stand driving reg on the highway and have multiple people whipping there car around me in mini vans or anything really like its the Daytona 500 especially when im doing 45mph! But i guess is comes with the territory!

What it means is that i treed them so bad and left them coming off the light that i was waiting on them for 30sec at the next light.

Ricers, mustangs and expensive bmws, and mercedes get smoked by me when they think they can take me off the line! Now do you understand?

I 've had a number of children say they like it and one adult liked it.
Two people told me I was too old for that car.

I voted never. On the other hand, I don't count my friends comments because they are jealous or joking. They make fun of it not being painted or pointing to some ricer car and saying "That car will take you" when they know damn well I have the fastest car they know or been in.

They already passed one person, and in general were just driving like ********.

Maybe having them stuck in a lane, on the opposite side of the road, staring at someone's headlights coming head on will make them thing twice before driving like a wreckless douche bag to "impress his boys".

Like I said, I wasn't on the same moral grounding as the other guys with their road rage stories. I'm an *******, just with a good purpose.
You were right the first time. Your a Dick. The guy tailgaiting you was an *******. And Dicks f*ck ******** and p*ssies! LOL
I have done the same thing. I have a zero tolerance policy for inconsideration.

My experiences have been overwhelmingly positive really. Ricers will be ricers and think they're big and bad; that's why we love ripping them and deep down I think they love being ripped.
Surprisingly though, I have had a few local cops tell me how good mine sounds, and one even asked for (and received) a good smoke show just out of boredom.

Thats because they're not even paying attention and they're not even racing you. Moron.

Well, I grew up on Chevy small block motors as a punk kid..My first car was a Chevy Nova SS...Then years later I dropped a 350 Chevy in a 74 Toyota LandCruiser and it kicked ***... Then years after that I really began to like the LS1 motors because of what a good swap option they could possibly be... Then I found out about the more powerful LS3's and grabbed one used.... Now I got this crazy swap idea going on with the LS3 and Lexus this SC400of mine......Etc..etc..

But most of all I am on this forum because of all the wonderful attitudes that occasionally post up pure garbage every now and then to my amusement...

Shall I continue...or do you get the picture now?

Lemons, thanks for the acceptance post but relax on Jizzy!!!!
