I have a Toyota Tacoma, I'll post pics in a bit.

I have already been to several street races. I will use it for street racing. Unless I'm not supposed to talk about that here then I wont use it for street racing.

We have this exact car and color, only with a darker tint on the windows (minus the windshield, of course). It's way nice. We just got it a couple months ago.

yes it does, and no it's not a religous school bus, and not a church van, it's my own privatly owned van.

Haha, yeah I know, just kidding.

Cool car by the way, much cooler than those Supras. (I don't like fancy cars)

Since when do they have new production Shoopras?

Yes. Don't. Buy a 2000-ish Acura Integra. Quality of a Honda, but marketed under the Acura name for some stupid reason. But, it has brum.

A-men.

Street racing has little point. Woo, you get to break the law. If you want to speed and recklessly risk your life, drive at an autocross event, go to a track day at a raceway, or pitch in some money at a drag strip to run once. Getting caught and running a risk of getting in a serious accident isn't worth it. At a raceway, you've got much better controlled conditions.

But something like this:

ZOMG LOOX LIKE NFS

Which is an '05 btw.

Seriously, an 05 Supra? That would be the first of it's kind, seeing as how they stopped all production on the Supra in 2002.

Same Reason Toyota Relabels cars and calls them Lexus and Nissan Renames them Infiniti's. They can Sell them for a few grand more for a different logo and different stickers. Thats the Japanese Making a quick buck by exploiting American Stupidity when it comes to such issues.

It must be in the affordable price range for every teenager with dreams of being a pro Black-sheep-out-of-town-guy-with-hot-steady-bitches-and-hoes-on-your-arm Racer because ur gunna b runnin from da po pos and they'll be like AWW HELL NAW WE TAKE THIS CAR, BUT HERES THIRTY GRAND FROM ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE TO REBUILD STREET RACER REPZ TO BUY GOOD CARZ. BAM. TUNED PROTOTYPE AUDI WITH KILLER GLITTER TEXT.

Seriously, Open Fridays at Pomona, or at Irwindale surely beats whipping CRX's and mommy's Altima with a CAI that he got at Super Autobacs.

Well, yeah. Shame that the NSX and Integra were Acura'd here in the US.

And one that really pisses me off is that they Renamed the Nissan Skyline The Infiniti G35 here, and The Mazda Axela the Mazda 3. Axela sounds like a really kickass name for a car.

It's true, It happened to me once. Then I deleted my game.

Wait, what?
Isn't the new Skyline going to be called the Nissan GT-R?

The current skyline in Japan is identical to "our" infiniti G35.

Differences at a glance being the side the driver is on, and the letter placement on the Trunk. where it normally says "I N F I N I T I," the Japanese one says "S K Y L I N E."

Compare: 2006 Skyline

2006 Infiniti G35

Whoa, yeah, mind blank. I kinda forgot about that version of it, I was thinking of the R-versions only. ;_;

Eek. What does it have done to it, performance-wise?

I have the same car. does yours have a six in it? I just bought a supercharger and added 57 horses, its at around 290 hp right now.

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 11:35 am

I'll be getting that around the end of November, early December at the latest. Getting the V6 with a black leather interior. The only condition I was given was that since I'm buying the V6 instead of the 4 cylinder, I have to pay the ~$2500 difference...fine by me.

You should buy a van too, they are about 100% hardcore, and GMC makes some really nice Custom Conversion Vans. (Though Chevy Express conversions are really nice too)

How is the gas mileage on a car like that?
