I know...lol...hence why I posted the parenthetics. BMWs = nice cars. Vipers and Jags and 67 Stangs are cooler, tho. I still like Civis,tho...prolly cuz I learned to drive in one.

I'd love a Tiger Tank however unlike Shermans and M3A1s you can't get other countrie's tanks legaly in the US unless the fuck up the barrel

Somehow the Musemium's tanks never-underwent that hint hint nudge

IE meaning we have three fully operational and armed tanks on our hands :D(Well number 3# Tank is has a bad oil tank)

Just because other people around the world don't have the luxury to buy large cars doesn't mean that we (US citizens) have to limit ourselves as well. If you don't like them don't buy them.

Hmm... I do live in the US. It's that the fucking Expeditions and trucks like that scare me, because they could roll over me without the fucking driver noticing me. And you can't fucking see around them, because they always have heavily tinted windows, and they take up the entire fucking lane! And then the drivers apparently don't know how to fucking drive either. They never use their goddamn turn signals, and they consistantly tailgate, and they generally act like assholes. And all though they may feel safer... I sure as hell don't.

Viper's not worth the price tag they put on it, modern mustangs tend to be rather ick too. Of course I love older cars over their newer counterparts.

Vent it, Beowulf. I feel the same way. I have an '89 Celica. It's WHITE and they still can't see me.

Thank you..I just needed to get
Hell, I've been silently screaming the same thing for years now down here.

What I find especially irritating is the owners that "baby" their SUV when they're pulling into a parking lot or going over a rough patch in the road. Hello!!! That monster is called a Sport Utility Vehicle, right? That means it was designed to go offroad, right? That means it can handle a 4" curb bump entrance to a parking lot, dumbass!!

SUV's make sense if used as they are intended, Like how Hummers are used

However... they are not

The suspensions on many of these <cough> off-road <cough> vehicles are so damned aweful that they can't handle a 4" bump without treating the occupants to a rollercoaster ride. With a few execeptions, such as the Hummer and Range Rover, current SUVs are designed to look like they can go off road rather than actually do it.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.
