    -I know what you mean...I watched the Fast & Furious movies and although they were good, I just had to chuckle.
    -For some reason I don't associate tough guys with small purple foreign cars that have neon light glowing from their undercarriages.
    -to me old mustangs and camaro's are what bad guys drive.
    -Can you imagine Burt Reynolds in a lime green Mitsubushi Eclipse instead of that T.A. in Smokey in the Bandit

    By the way I drive a truck and a van. I'm not cool in the car world!

    Isn't it sad? Its hard to believe that this is what has become of cool. Whenever I see those cars,I think of clown music. A friend of mine had a good response for people that drive those "things". A guy one time driving one said "What do you think of my car and his reply was: " Well just think, 20 years from now your gonna have a son and he is going to say Daddy Daddy what did you drive when you were young and you are going to have to show them a picture of that!" I laughed for ten minutes.

    I would stand my 37 Flathead up against any of that jap crap. It might not get me there as fast but it will get me there with class.[:D]

    Lonnie...you almost gave me a heart attack. For a minute there I thought you'd actually bought a Harley. Then I realized, You couldn't have gotten the Harley "feeling" so quickly. It takes 2 years of riding nothing but Harleys to purge the "RICE" from your system.[:D]

    Most of the "Jap crap" I see around here makes me laugh. With their Japanese writing, dished wheels, ground effects bodywork, and huge wings on the back. I think if you slapped a big Briggs and Stratton decal on their tops, they could pass for lawn mowers.
    Where do these kids get all that money?
    Do they realize that after thet've dumped $5,000 into all that extraneous garbage, they now have $20K invested in a car that's worth $12K?
    Oh well........

    I have my Jeep Cherokee Sport (4.0 inline six) hopped-up pretty good with bolt-on performance accessories. Borla Header and exhaust system (no catalytic conv.), JET performance module, K&N performance intake system, Helix throttle body spacer, MSD ignition system, etc. Stock engine delivers 195 hp and I'd estimate mine is pushing about 230 hp. Runs like a raped ape off the line due to the low rpm torque characteristics of the 4.0 engine.

    There's nothing I like better than to get along side one of these silly Hondas or other Jap cars with all the tricked-out crap on them and the loud exhaust with a chrome 5-gallon bucket for an exhaust tip. The Borla exhaust on my Jeep is pretty snarly so I'll blip the throttle a couple times while the light is red and that's all it takes. The dudes in the import get all wound-up and punch it when the light turns green and my Jeep just eats them alive. This must happen a couple of times a week. Kinda like the "Little Old Lady From Pasadena." Some 55 year-old dude in a red Jeep Cherokee blows their doors off and then pulls into the drug store for some Pepto Bismol. [:D][:D]

    Everyone asks me why I gotta have my pickups lifted so high, it is to clear the speedbumps[}:)] I always wanted to drive right over one at a red light.

    When the scene came up where the dweeb in the little Japanese 4-banger was staying right with a 1969 Charger with a blown Hemi I sorta got the feeling that the producers were very optimistic indeed.
