Oh cmon ... no one remembers those commercials ? One kid calls another, and the following conversation ensues: "Yo man ..." "Yo .." "Waaaazzaaaaaah!" "Waaaazzzaaaaaaaaahh!!" "Yo yo ... hold on a sec." Kid hands the receiver to another guy next to him. "Yo ... ?" "Wazzzaaaaaah!!"...

I have a silver P5 with shaved side moldings, and, in my opinion, it greatly enhances the look of the car. To me, the lines of the car are much smoother and more appealing without the side moldings.

Now we're just arguing technicalities, lol. :D But since I have an hour more to kill before I leave work: The definition of Racism was discrimination or prejudice based on race. An observation is neither, it is simply a truth/fact.

I don't know if the first statement is totally true. "Japanese people tend to have black hair" is more of an observation. If you were to draw a conclusion (discrimination) or reserve judgement (prejudice) from that observation ... that would be racism. I think ... heheh. At least, that is...

AWw shucks ... You're making me blush. (k) :D :D Totally off topic - 2 hours to quitting time !!

Hm ... in retrospect, "racial slur" was too strong of a word to use. You're right, MP3. However, I still stand by my opinion that if a majority (greater than 50%, let's say) of a group up and decided that "so-so" is offensive, I would respect that decision and refrain from calling them so. As...

Disclaimer: I don't take offense at being called oriental. ;) But for argument's sake ... The Orient was first coined for the geographical region south of the Himalayas and extends to include the Malay archipeligo. So technically, calling a Korean, Japanese or Chinese person an Oriental is...

Ah see, here's where we have a difference of perspective. You're using the word "Oriental" as an ethonym, especially when describing inanimate objects. You have no problems from me there. However, its the instances where "Oriental" is used as a label for a group of people, that's objectable.

I think you might be the only one. There was a cute Filipina girl who posted on her quite often... I wonder what happened to her. (uhm) But I stray ... (Thank god my GF doesn't read these forums) (laugh)

Well, "Oriental" is derived from "Orient", the label that first explorers of the western civilizations stuck on the eastern empires (namely China) that they came across. It eventually came to encompass an entire hemisphere ... So ... just like there are a myriad of religions in America, there...

Hey Tonka ... this may be a longshot and assuming that is you in your avatar, are you Filipino ?

Dammit! (argh) Move your shop to Jersey, Keith. :D

While we're on the subject of threadjacking ... Hey Mopiko, Know of any good twisties in our area ? (I live in East Brunswick, pretty much only 22 potholes away from you ;) )

Ok so you HAVE dyno'd your automatic vehicle and it has a peak HP of 116HP due to THREE performance modifications: Drop in filter Custom catback exhaust Underdrive pulley Why did you mention in your other posts that you must be making over 130WHP, if you already dyno'd your car beforehand...

Who's Dynosheet states specifically that they produce 130 WHP and has less than: a drop in filter, pulley and exhaust. Please link us to this Dyno sheet. Also, take into consideration that power loss from the engine to the wheels is significantly greater in an automatic, versus a manual. The...

Imagine taking those things to a local detailing shop ? They would have a hernia! And yeah ... Oriental is a rather generalized and narrow-minded term for Asian people. It's somewhat akin to calling the entire population of America Jewish. ;) I remember someone once asked me if I was...

This thread is going down the sh!thole faster than a flushed toilet. It's about time a mod moved it to Flamewars. (pissed)

HP mods ? All I see is an exhaust, pulley and drop in filter. All in all, that's 10-12 whp gained, and I am being generous. And by the way, pulley's do not help whp that much; not enough that you would "own most of u" In fact, they have a detrimental effect on our P5's due to the loss of the...

Optimus prime move over!
