[Kiwibob]

Hmm. not a good look. Hope its only minor

[boiracer]

oh noees!! what happened?

on another note....ive actually got someone coming to look at my car in the next few weeks......see if it sells

[Smity42]

smashed the oil cooler on a driveway

fixed it by bypassing the cooler core... now need a new core. Not too bad.

Apparently the cops were out in force at Munchies Friday night. Targeting big meets makes me sad.

[PWND]

Yeah, but apparently the behaviour at munchies has been getting worse, stl's etc

[PWND]

Still makes me said as they will be targetting cars like mine as a result of bad behaviour of others

[boiracer]

agreed...not taht i have that issue with meets....just everywhere i drive for no reason at all...i swear my car has a Police GPS tracker in it.....

whereas...i drove my old Beetle home the other day. i forgot how overly loud that thing is (104db at idle)......and yet it go no attention from the cops. and twas my daily driver for about 7 yrs.

[-Boz-]

I was arguing this over in the wasteland. The police don't really have much choice. For every sensible driver with a legally modded import there are 10 douchebags driving like idiots in unsafe an illegaly modded cars. There are no doubt more shitbox falcadores and econoboxes but they don't stand out. Cars that stand out + large majority being driven poorly/illegally modded = police attention. Not much we can do about it

[boiracer]

yup thats the main problem.

and i guess the beauty of old cars is that most cops dont know what theyre looking for or at...so they just let it go.

to a point. once they mark a car you are pretty much screwed. the subaru attracts no attention but at the same point I am not looking to attract it either.

part of the reason I now stay away from the JDM meets out at QR. those are going to end in tears for a lot of people if they get any bigger.

this

[boiracer]

that is true.

and the only place i ever got in trouble in the bug was playing silly buggers up the main police patrolled drag up here on a thursday night.....so it was bound to happen and i was young and stupid

by old car i mean pre '80's btw. most interpretations of old car is a early to mid '90's como

[-Boz-]

An early 90's car is now 20 years old, just saying.

[boiracer]

very true. but compared to what i know as old cars. even an R32 is quite refined

my 74 bug and my 89 skyline seem like they're from different centuries in some ways. And 20 years old is NOT OLD.

[-Boz-]

Japanese sports cars do seem to be generally well ahead of the curve in terms of features.

[Smity42]

20 years old is NOT OLD.

Yes it is

[sneakey pete]

Most of us drive around in cars that were 60K premium models when new. Kinda skews the impressions.

[-Boz-]

And that was $60,000 in the early 1990's for some of those cars, probably worth a hell of a lot now (inflation an all that.)

You just have to look at some of the features on the cars to see how ahead of the curve they were. Digital dashes, in car Nav/DVD/TV, HUD's, Automatic climate controll and so on. Then there is the mechanical side of it as well, look at how quick the 33 GT-R was around the ring.

[Traditimeour]

Yes it is

Tehehehe
