The notion of import cars only being popular because of Fast and the Furious is sooo wrong....Cause I remember going to street races and drooling over those import cars  and going to import car shows waaayy before the movie even came out...and the reason why I even liked the movie is cause I can relate.  I was like, "Hey...it really is like that!!!" LOL.  Anyway, all the people I hang out with are all into the import cars, and I like the whole idea of fixin' it up all the way to the engines...it's really cool...

^^^ I AGREE WITH YOU GIRL! IMPORT RACING CARS WERE ALREADY OUT LONG BEFORE "THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS" EVEN CAME OUT. ALL MY FRIENDS HAD ALREADY HAD THEIR CARS ALL SOUPED UP. WHEN THE MOVIE CAME OUT IT JUST GOT THEM MORE HYPED ABOUT IT. I DON'T CARE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS ABOUT THESE CARS BUT I'M SURE IF YOU WERE AROUND THEM 24/7 LIKE I AM, THEN YOU WOULD SEE WHY THEY AIN'T THAT BAD. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE SO EASY TO BEAT A CAR WITH NOS IN IT...NOPE.

WELL...I OWN AN "IMPORT RACING CAR" AND ITS MY LOVE! BUT YA'LL ARE ENTITLED TO YA'LLS OWN OPINIONS ABOUT THEM, SO I'M JUST GONNA SIT BACK AND LISTEN.

About the imported cars not being fast, that is somewhat untrue. I mean, sure, there are some that aren't but it is all about how made up you can make them. Or even about how much money you can put into them. A friend of mine, Scott Murphey, owns a 2002 Honda Civic. He races it all the time. The other night, he had a race at this strip right above me. He got up to 140 without NOS, which he won't use unless he is getting his butt kicked. It is super nize. He also has a Subaru which is awesome.

As far as low riders go, I am not fond of them. If I am in a truck, I want it to be a big one. My boytoy just got a new truck. It is a 2002 F-150 and he has a suspension lift on it. It looks good!

Some imports are fast but some are expensive that not everybody can buy one,so they just buy hondas.Thats the thing that gets to me is that these teens buy these cars and add shit like NOS and then there all braging about how fast there cars are and that they can smoke anyone,but its just NOS and half of the shit on there motor is still factory.Compare that to a real car which has been modified with a higher performace engine and exaust.

Scott has only used NOS once and that was against a BMW Z3 (is that it???). He can haul some azz!! I like SUV's, but to me, they don't have any up and go. I like the Pontiac Grand Pre GT/P!!!! You can get up to 70 mph in 4.5 seconds. They are really nice.

I'm working on my car's body. I just have a 99 Yota Corolla. It looks like a piece of crap right now just because it is wayyy tooo plain.

lol I know what you mean about that pink car! lol, it is almost orgasmic!!! My thrills are cars. They are great. What you can do with a car or any vehicle blows my mind. And you are right about what you said about racing being out before F&F, because there wouldn't be a movie out today if this wasn't going on. It was just never that heard of until that movie came out. It's great though!

Well I am not crazy about lowriders. I guess I just like cars that get me where I need to go. Right now I have a Montero Sport and its cool. I like SUV, but I think I am going to trade it in for a Tahoe, Harley Davidson, or Navigator. Something staying in the SUV. The only truck I would get would be a Harley Davidson.
