The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[princess peach]

I was making a point of watching old movies that I thought were awesome when I was younger, but for some reason I keep getting turned off... when I'm done I'm like "what the **** just happened? this is not what I remember!"

It seems like back then movies had a very simple plot, so when I watch them now I feel that there has to be something more to the story, sometimes it feels like scenes were cut out. This happened with Mad Max, I have all 3 but couldn't get past the first one. It has nothing to do with visual effects or picture quality, I actually like how they use to do all the stunts since they didn't have CGI. The acting and the writing just sucks. Most of the time I rather remember what I can than ruin the memory.

One of my all time favorites:

Best intro, EVER.

^those are cops back there

Peaches, may I borrow the other two Mad Max movies? when you swing by Saturday? I totally agree though, I remembered it being much better from when I was a kid. I watched it again this week and was like "What the heck is going on here? This acting is terrible. None of this makes sense?". Still good regardless, but I'm easy to please.

I think I've only watched one Mad Max. Had the game for Nintendo though, that was fun but Game Genie was a must.

Had a dream last night that I bought Mid-Ohio and a Panoz to drive around it. Not sure how I got the money in the first place but it was a dream after all.

Still love the design.

Happy Friday, bitches. What are you turkeys up to for the weekend?

Shocked.

Mini Phen rant.

How in the unholy ******* hell is this different than Civics with the same wing on it? On a Mazda, it's legit, dope as ****, clean, baller, BRC, fresh, insert your catchy stupid bulls*** phrase to describe a fad here. Let's back up. The Protege and the Civic are the same class of car. But see a Civic dressed up like this, and it's FYHN all over the place. See a Protege dressed up like this, and people act like they just saw a 3 rotor FD.

I, for one, consider this to look a little silly. Especially when you factor in that it was built for stance games and not to be purposely used. I really wish I could be more of a myopic fanboi, but I'm soooooo soooo sooo glad I'm not.

I'm planning on putting a big ricer wing on Fatty next year because I like how it looks. (seriously, no magenta font)

 

[princess peach]

Looks good, but its not 3 rotor FD awesome. I'd put a big ass wing on mine, looks good and is quite functional. However, they're quite expensive and I don't actually need it (yet)

 

[thejeans]

i kinda like the looks of that protege but i know what youre talking about, each car owners group seems to do that though... i just wish more car owners could stop hating certain brands and we could unite a bit mroe collectively... there are big subie meets in Robinson and guys with hondas, speeds and evos like to crash them and troll... its like whats the ******* point?? why try to ruin what they have going, if you wanna go hang and bs and learn about another brand thats one thing but to just go to intentionally troll is a totally different thing all together


and Evan, ill give you (friendly joking) s*** about the wing but ive seen some ms6's with pretty big wings and thought, damn that looks good!


on another note, i know all of you have wheels and such already but if you guys know someone looking, the OZ's are for sale. i think my asking price is fair given you cant find theses anymore and they are 17x8 +40 and weighing in just under 16lbs a wheel, id love to see em go to a good/new home instead of just sitting in my garage wasting away.

 

[magnumP5]

I'll agree it's clean but yeah, pretty pointless since that car will never likely see a track. Just like how that rar kid has a roll cage in his P5. You know, in case his car spontaneously flips over while hard parked. Honda got a bad rap in the late 90's. The same principles apply but the execution is (generally) cleaner today.

If/when the RX7 is completed and I get back into tracking it I'll likely a similar wing to it.

 

[Lewis7789]

I would expect you guys to give me crap, that's what friends are for! haha

And I totally agree with you about the Subie meet thing, MonkeyAss. I was talking about that the other day at a Mazda meet. There was a new GTR that kept cruising by us and I kept waving to him and he wouldn't stop to chat with us. I just wanted to dry hump his car, that's all. Jeez...

But I was asking the same thing to the Mazda friends, if they saw an import meet, would they stop and say hi. I would. If I saw a bunch of Subies and I was in my MS6 I would stop by, park a couple spaces away from them and come introduce myself and check out their cars and ask questions and stuff. I wouldn't be one of those guys who would come over and start rambling about all the mods on my car and how awesome it is, because I don't roll like that.

Heck, even if it was a Honda club I would still stop and chat with them. I still love clean Honda's, I had three of them. haha

cars been on a track more than a few times

I'll tell you how it's different.

Mazda has other supporting mods. Fender flares, wider tires, front lip that looks somewhat functional.

If you are talking about Hondas with no supporting mods and just a big-ass ole park bench wing, that is my definition of "rice".

Now, if you were to put a Honda with the same mods as the Mazda up here, I wouldn't complain.

I don't care whether or not either saw track time, even.

You can't just throw a wing on something and expect it to look good and garner the correct attention.

Just my opinion.

changing topics: I set up a new system last night, haven't built my own PC in several years. Eventually I'd like to mount it on a particle board so I can hang it on the wall next to the TV. Ditching MAC and going back to Windows 7, this thing boots up in 30 seconds... I love it. Slow computers drive me bonkers. Need to organize my data and a couple of external drivers, see if I can add them to the board so I can end up with 4TB of space for all my crap.

Nerd...

 

[Perro del Sol]

I agree with Evan, Levi et al......the communities are so fragmented it is crazy as hell. Even the Mazda community, Rotaries, Speeds, Miata's.......it is a shame that we can't just promote the damn brand and the tuner community as one. I have to say, that in the GTA, they seem to all pull together and do just that, (Mazda owners) promote Mazda..it was refreshing seeing the MX-5 Group from Quebec,checking out the Speeds, Rotaries, etc and asking questions and vice versa......I am curious to see how many of the different models we get @ the Mazda Cars and Coffee event.....

It is like we have our own form of segregation

 

[Lewis7789]

**** your topic, Peaches.

 

[bigsho]

I can respect any car that's clean, and has a purpose. My scoobie friends always tease me for having fail wheel drive, I tease them for being slow in a straight line, but at the end of the day, None of that matters...as it's cars that brought us together in the first place
