I really don't understand your thought processes. How is it that you can manage to bring joy to yourself at the cost of others?

Let's agree to disagree, my friend. You can stay around the forum if you like, just cut all this churlish garbage.

I got him off the line and then pulled away pretty easily.

omg you spelled car wrong, how silly do you feel, your enormous ego shattered by a simple D. Why don't you do us a favor and take your rice rocket 240sz and crash it into a phone pole for us. By the way you originally said that you saw the race, but now you were in the car? a story with holes just don't float. Oh and the Boston bruins suck as much as celica's, so change your tampon and get on the whole crashing into a phone pole for us.

Re: 2008 Civic SI falls prey to a weaker, older car

there are also numerous resources that claim the holocaust didn't happen, buuuuuuut I don't think I'm ready to take their word for it yet, Why would you even buy a car? with access to the cars your booting around on a regular basis whats the point? everyone knows you can't get laid in a 240sx, lets be serious!

What's the point?

People browsing the forums see these threads and decide not join.

"R" is right next to "D" on the keyboard, sheesh.

I can't beleive you people actually let this go on, the only thing this thread proved was the bad character of the OP....if you want to actually debate this, take the cars, line it up at the strip, and have 3 runs. Then shut up.

ok. now how many times do they beat YOU in a race?

or do you even go out to get beaten? probably would rather stay in and beat yourself!

i find it kinda sad that in order to try and get respect, you have to come to other car forums... why is that? can't get any from your own?

Civics definitely will win in the long run, as long as time marches on. How about those 2005+ Celicas?

The car was bone stock with a full tank of gas and my 180lb little brother in the passenger seat. The civic had only one person in it. VVT-i FTW!!!!!! feel free to cry -- I would.
You sound a lot like that moron over on Import tuner forum.... all he did was go on and on about his POS toyota mr2 turbo and how it got 11's with just a ram intake... yeah sure
