Leo, not calling your car slow but you can't take corners like how a Civic can take corners and considering I didn't get a type S I don't really see a point. Plus compared to a BMW M3 and a heavily modifed MX-6 (plus the bastard's heavily modified Camaro) you wouldn't really compare. Oh and that WRX really would make your car seem kind of insignifigant. So meh I'm not really interested I already know I can get beaten by other guys and sides what the point of running a sport car (keep in mind a entry level sport car, nothing special just has good enough performance to be considered a sport car.) against a family sedan? Drive your car and be happy with it, if illegally racing against my co-workers has taught me anything it's that:

1) There will AWAYS be someone faster then you
2) You can't take corners like a Honda Civic (Not kiding here, on Autocross tracks these cars will eat you alive. They have the tightest turning radius, excellent handling and decent power. They can even give a WRX a run for there money. Yeah that last place guy sure showed us who could win on turns.)
3) A bone stock car is nothing to a modifed car. (Not ricer modified which is all show and no go, but crazy modified with all go no show.)
4) Sport suspension is only good on the track (Once again, enjoy the fact you don't have sport suspension. It's easy on your ass when you are driving. You don't want tight suspension, unless you want to turn like a maniac.)
5)Other people will come along and put you in your place if you won't do it yourself. (Once again a WRX did this to us, we were all humbled, even that MX-6.)
6)It's not a type S! (Dammit can't a guy get a car that looks cool and gets him from point A to B?)
7) There comes a time when you have to call it quits on illegal street racing and just drive your car just because. (In a year another car will come along and that will be cosidered cooler then the car you have now. You'll always be chasing after status or whatever but ALL cars become crap after like a year of being cool. Something will always come along. Even the Zonda F was made uncool by the Bugatti Veyerne (sp?) .)
8) Racing can be fun but only with people you don't really know. (You'll never see them again so it's all good if you beat them or they beat you. When you race co-workers make sure it's all in fun otherwise feeling will get hurt and you'll have to deal with it for a while.)

And to clear things up I had my car for about three weeks now, I didn't really want to say anything about it because I really didn't see a point. I just put that last post because that's how I was going to tell you guys I had a new car. There would be some gathering, we all leave when the party is over, you guys see my car, I jump in say: This is how I roll bitch. and then drive away. Unfortunately you all found out piecemeal so this never happened.

Sorry about the length.

screw you ed, how dare you call me a ricer!!! if I was a ricer my car be some crappy lancer, civic or celica and it'd be yellow or pink with mods all over the place...

Alison, I'm not sure about paypal, but Amazon does take visa, mastercard, and american express. It seems safe enough.

"The next mode to talk about is lounge mode. This mode can be good if you want to invite some friends over for a quick game. This mode can keep track of up to 8 of your friends at a time and keeps stats on everyone for the session. The good thing about this new mode is that it allows you to even out the playing strength a little between you (who has the game) and your friends (who might not). It does this by keeping track of your stats and gives the weaker players some power-up's and cheap shots that allow you to pull off some interesting plays in order to keep up with the better players. Some of the cheap shots are interesting and include such things as fatiguing the other team, keeping some opponent players out of the game, and even restarting the game! These can be an interesting little feature to keeping the games fair."

Sounds 8 player... http://www.extremegamer.ca/xbox/games/fifa2006.php'>

Although that might not be 8 players at the same time...

I think FIFA Soccer 06 for XBOX can be an 8 player game.

RICE BOYS!!

that's cool. good shit guys.

Happy new year everyone! So Al, you finally went and got your Type S eh? If so Congratulations, hope you enjoy it! Now that you got it, I'm tempted to come back up to Edmonton so I can test this car of yours head to head against mine...

hey, all you techies, is Amazon a secure way to buy things on the internet? do I need paypal to do it? they're honestly the only booksellers I've been able to find that actually have Bill Peet books for sale, at reasonable prices.

I do so love his books, this being one of my favourites

he did so much with his talent, and often focused on the environment in writing these captivating children's stories. He also wrote the story for Lambert the Sheepish Lion and was one of the primary animators and story writers for the Sword in the Stone... also providing a lot of the art for Sleeping Beauty. it's a shame I wasn't aware of his passing... what a phenomenal man.

hotwheels.
