[quote name='PhoenixDownVII' date='Jul 20 2005, 02:09 PM']Never got that once. Matter-of-factly, the usual response is "Wow, I have NEVER seen one of these. It's a mazda? wow, it's georgious." Just jaw dropping responses.



And anyone else who knows a bit about cars, but can't name what it is, seems to think it has a V6 in it lol.

[quote name='rfreeman27' date='Jul 20 2005, 12:59 PM']some people like to drag race, some dont...

freeman you at least knwo what youre doing and have the ***** to do it, and the pockets lol. i just get tired of dealing with customers allday, so when i come on here and people act like customers about their cars it annoys me.



as for t78 being a "cookie cutter setup"...only if you buy the kit, i just bought the turbo.

talk about ford/ mazda parts sharing.

Wait, since the FD was out before that model of Taurus, wouldn't that mean the Taurus has an RX-7 taillight conversion?

Well once my car gets back from the shop its gona own all T-78's. Just hoping my mechanic can work out the kinks for me.



It just occured to me my buddies name is Kevin too. I bet Kevin with the T-78 will win.

 

Here's a question for everyone. So what if someone owns a car, or several cars in most cases, and just doesn't have the time to work on the car himself. Does that make him less of a car enthusiest? What if he'd rather fork out money than get his hands beat up every weekend? Whats so bad about that? If I had to guess I'd say Jay Leno doesn't do all his custom work himself. I seem to remember reading he has his own little crew that takes on projects. What about any professional race car drivers out there...do you think they take the engine out themselves and rebuild it for the next race?



Can't people buy cars because they enjoy them and pay someone else to do the work without being sterotyped as an idiot?

 

if they have the money to fork out to pay someone else to do the dirtywork more power to them

 

at least we dont go bowing down to the new eclipses.

 

[quote name='nopistons94' date='Jul 20 2005, 11:19 AM']i think someone here confused a porsche 944 as to being a NICE car ...

the maxima was the start of the skyline series dan.. if you look back into the skyline history the older ones look JUST like maximas

the skyline has been around a couple decades longer than the maxima.

 

So, the supra used to be a trim level of the celica
