Quote from: underclass
For those of you in America, here is what most of the western world knows about your politics... you have a black man in the white house trying to fix healthcare, which is going nowhere because all of a sudden everyone else has a way better way to fix healthcare despite it being a basket case for the last 30 years. You're in two wars you won't win, which will bankrupt you as you try to compete with China economically, which you also can't win because people have less rights and they aren't fighting two wars. Sarah Palin is loathed by every single rational person in the free world. Conan is the governer of California, which is also broke, along with all of your banks. People can't get abortions in some places but can marry their gay partner in others. End.

This is how it reads for the God fearin' 'mericans...

"For those of you in America, here is what you know about your politics... you have a illegitimate non US citizen niggerman in the white house trying to destroy democracy. You're in two wars doing God's work slaughtering the infidel, as our Manifest destiny says we will rule the world. Sarah Palin is the most rational person in the free world. The Governator is the governer of California, which is also full of queers, but he'll sort them out. People can't get abortions because it's an affront to God, but can marry their sister in others, which all good God fearing 'mericans approve of. God Bless 'merica."

Nah, it was my (then) girlfriend's mother's old shitbox, and we fixed it up just enough to have a decently running vehicle. If there's one thing Corollas are, it's tough. And it was pretty cool to not have to even pay attention to backing up. Just put it in reverse and stop when you hear a crunch.

Sweet ride Mosh!

Danke. Come out, we'll cruise the Esplanade in St Kilda, pick up street walkers, spit roast them, and bury them in St Kilda beach.

This is what it replaced:

Nice, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side.  ;)

seconded.

I don't think I could drive a stick on the wrong side, being a lefty and all, I have trained myself to adapt the other way already.



Re: Mah wheels Reply #33 on: May 19, 2009, 08:30:47 AM
I dunno the actual history or anything, but I suspect thats why the US put the wheel on the left, because the right arm is usually the strong one, and way back when, I imagine transmissions required a fair bit of force to change gears, before syncromeshing. When I had my Triumph 2000 in the 1980's, I really wished I'd gotten an automatic, because as a manual, that thing was a bitch to change gears with my left hand. And the clutch needed all the strength in my left leg to push.

Lots of people think its because the Brits put the wheel on the right, just to be different, the US put it on the left.

Like I said, I dont actually know the real reason.

I can't guarantee the authenticity of this link and, frankly, it seems like bullshit without any references.  but here it is:

there's a nice map on it, demonstrating that this is mostly an oceania thing, these days.

Have a browse around that site, then. Cecil Adams is hilarious and rarely very far off the truth. He is to bizarre questions what Snopes if to urban legends.

C'mon, it's always about the British. Next you'll be telling me they took the U out of 'honour' because it saved ink.



Re: Mah wheels Reply #49 on: May 22, 2009, 12:11:39 AM
Maybe they did, but it also makes it easier to spell.

Anyways... how about the rest of you post some pix of your wheels...

My supercharged Bonneville at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Excuse the dirt... I don't have her licked down because I was on a trip.

Mazda 3?

I was driving a 3 around for a week or two before I got the Calais. Nice car, but I didnt like how high I sat in it. They be great if you're not 6'2".



Re: Mah wheels Reply #55 on: May 23, 2009, 01:12:41 PM


Although I hardly drive 'er anymore. More of a toy.

Here's my daily wheels:



(Not actually a picture of my truck, but one just like it. Except mine has no hood scoop, cuz it's gas VVTi instead of the turbo diesel in the pic)

Si, I forgot you have an Integra. I also forgot that it's not an "Acura" Integra. Lovely car. I had a 4 door some years back.

hip - I love the 3s. Both my step-dad and his wife have 3s. I'd love a 2010 Mazdaspeed Mazda 3. http://mazda3revolution.com/mazda3-guide/2010-mazda-3-hatchback-official-photos/



Re: Mah wheels Reply #57 on: May 24, 2009, 02:49:17 PM

It's 3.8L supercharged v6. They say about 240hp stock.

She'll do a burnout from hell even without a bunch of mods. If I had the extra tires I'd try for one like this.... (just like mine only black..)
