No normal human, no matter how much of a gearhead, would make that association so intuitively.

We are all nerds.

No.


She was...not worth it.

I probably mislead when I said "chick". I should have said female.

"Black House of Kolor with a Flat Clear coat(Not some rattle can job)"

...you paid someone to have your car painted so it looks like a rattle can job? I'm guessing the tons and tons of orange peel on that "flat clear coat" was also on purpose?

Why not? People will pay $200 for a pair of jeans that look like a hobo was wearing them when he fell off of a train going 60 MPH.


Note to self:

1: Buy every pair of jeans off the rack at the local Goodwill store.
2: Pay hobos to fall off of trains while wearing them.
3: (?)
4: Profit.

triple88a Oct 10, 2012 02:58 PM

I'm sure you can probably ship them over seas, have them wear it for few years, then return them, that will do too.

RyanRaduechel Oct 10, 2012 03:05 PM

Can my car make 330 whp @ 5 psi?! PLZZZZ! How do I make it happen?
