my missus used to think like that sometimes, always say crap like "i want this song played at my funeral" ... glad i got her outta that though. was as you put it, a little morbid.

i wouldnt have a clue, as long as it meant alot to me. Theres a few songs i love that are a bit sappy, and crappy but still theres meaning behind them that i can appreciate and that i hope i can relate to.

Celine Dion - My Heart will go on (i hate titanic ... and only like this song because i watched a video with it that was based on Final fantasy 8 - a game of which i played when i was a lot younger and related to so much of it.)

Vertical Horizon - Everything You Wanted - or whatever its bloody called. Like it for a good while now.

Enigma - Gravity Of Love ... there is some sick bass durin the song, even though its a "love song" sort of thing, i still love it.

.... every man to his own.... so shuttup :D

(plus i dont think i would want people to listen to rap, dance music etc ... they should be SAD ... i would be DEAD AT THE TIME!)

If you want to get really morbid then have yourself wrapped in tin foil and have the wiggles play "hot potatoe" at your cremation.

But on the more serious note probable something more upbeat at my funeral. I know it will be a sad time but I hate the thought of me bumming people out. I would rather a celebration of my life than a morning of my death.

I think Meredith Brooks Bitch would be appropriate for me.

Nah i know the song i just dont know the name ..... think it maybe a Nickleback son gi dont know shall find out

Came up with:

Julian Lennon - Saltwater (bit sappy, but quite a beautiful song)

Faith no More - Easy

Bob Dylan - Stuck in the Middle (for something a bit more upbeat :D ) ;and

Paul Kelly - Dumb Things

I could add a few more, but that's the short list for now.

Cheers

Rob

I'd love to have "With or without you - U2" and "The day you went away - Wendy Matthews"

I don't know, but I'm one of those people that play sad songs at sad times.

I'd also like to be cremated and have the person closest to me do a huge burnout beside my resting place.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
