How stupid can you make yourself sound? Are you serious? So are you trying to slight Americans, American cars, or what?

Funny how these cheap old American Muscle cars sold for 4K new and are worth 70 thousand today.

I'm guessing you own the typical 300lb egg shaped euro piece with an engine competitve with a lawn mower.

5Zigen FN01RC 17x8 rims http://www.autornd.com/catalog/

Hankook SR2 235x40 tires <-- I highly recomend these for anyone looking at performance tires, they are ultra grippy and VERY quiet on the road suprisingly.

and yes, I race it at local autocross events held by the SCCA. I highly suggest this to anyone who likes to drive fast. (sunday will be my first race with new rims and tires... I'm expecting an exponential performance increase :))

:cool:

I am truly amazed by the cornering ability. Yesterday I was at a big mall/shopping center and since more than half of the parking lot was empty as it was early in the morning, I decided to see what the car could do. I turned off traction control, set it in sport mode and opened the moonroof so I could hear the engine. :p

I then did a series of spiral turns at different speeds, quickly changing direction to see how the car's weight would be transfered. At no point in time I felt like I had lost control over the car. The tires made constant screeching noise and would sometimes break traction, but the car's handling remained very predictable and precise.

When I was done there was a small crowd watching. :rofl:

Now I know from first hand experience why BMW is "The Ultimate Driving Machine". It makes driving FUN!.

I love white cars.

No black wheels, that's so tacky. :x

I actually like the current wheels. If I ever, for some odd reason decided to change the wheels on the car I would only change them for another pair of original BMW wheels, no aftermarket crap is going on this car unless its Alpina.

It is not the fastest thing on the road, 0-60 is 6.5 and 1/4 is somewhere around 15.4 but I love it, handles like a dream and if people see you coming up behind them doing 90 on the interstate they get out of the way :yes: Everytime that happens I think of that Ludacris song :p Ah yeah I still have my old truck as well, use it for tooling around on the weekend when I have to get off road since my new truck does not have 4x4 lol but it is slowly dieing on me, nothing works and it has over 289,000 miles :ninja: My new truck well it is not really that new, but my newer truck has 49,680.

Fair enough. :)

I'll try to get some Alpina wheels later on, they're not exactly a bargain. :p

I don't really like the AC Schnitzers because of the rivets around the edges. :ermm:

95' dodge avenger es, v6, 173 hp. power windows, locks, sunroof, & driver's seat. leather interior. recently bought an eclipse cd5425 mp3 cd player. i'm enjoying this car immensley besides my transmission crapping out on me this past weekend because of a front seal leak. had to limp it home about 200 km. my uncle owns an auto shop and has already started the search for my new transmission. it's still gonna be pretty expensive. but when i think how i got the car for only $5000 canadian and it still has under 130,000 km on the engine. i'm going to put the money for the transmission back into it. otherwise, this car is so nice to drive.

I know it's just a camry but it's turned into a project car. It's kinda fun, I'm not really doing this to make my car fast just enough passing power when I go back and forth to school. I'm also making sure not to make it look ricey, I'm also trying to keep it stock looking, no outrageous body kits, wings, or colors. :)

yeah, to no avail. i saw some replacement oems for a 97' on there for about $150 USD each. they are nice and clear. but i read a review on the avenger saying that if the headlights look foggy, it's only the outer casing. you can apparently according the review wetsand them and it clears right up and looks brand new. i just want clear, nice looking lights that work well. i'm going to buy some HID bulbs for it as well.

edit: for your camry, how did you go about getting the angel eyes in your lights? i really like the look of that and would like to do it to my car.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
