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.

    • Nvidia 610.62 driver lands with big bug fixes and Empulse support by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a new driver available for Nvidia GeForce hardware owners, and it's carrying a whole lot of bug fixes. The WHQL-certified 610.62 Game Ready driver is also adding support for Empulse. Empulse lands from 1047 Games.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
