yes, because someone that doesn't think every exact thought you do must of course be evil. There is nowhere in this planet for other points of view. No the entire planet must conform identically or they all must die.

Car Stereotypes

Whoa whoa whoa. Now you're putting words in my mouth.
I never said anything about it being evil, not respecting others points of view or even remotely anything about anyone deserving to die. Everyone has a right to freedom of speech but I also have the right to criticize stupid ideas and voice my opinion on them.

And I'm not gonna stand here and pretend the confederate flag doesn't have extremely negative racial connotations while saying a lot about the person defending it.
I guess the better question is, why defend the universally recognized flag of slavery and oppression in this country? What message is that sending? Perhaps a prejudice one?


Tl;dr if u use racist flag, don't get mad if I call u racist bro ::thumbs up:: ::

Wonder how many posts in this particular off-topic subject will get before the whole thread is deleted

Well, it was fun while it lasted...

And speaking of Stereotypes, old people drive these, and likely have less than 10k miles on the odometer:

The Mazda Miata is hands down the gayest car on the road today. There are probably makes and models that look the part a bit more, but for some reason the Miata holds a certain reputation that sets it in a league of its own. For whatever reason this splendid little dabbler has gained steam amongst females everywhere. Legend has it that when guys drive the Miata they become more emotional and have been known to do things that are absolutely illogical and crazy for no reason whatsoever.


Lol.

Thanks for the lol.

"How did you know U-turn?"
"He taught me how to driveby."
"Respect!"

If they are simply maintaining speed that high speed, no they aren't. The Prius still has superior aerodynamics than your typical conventional car. Maybe at 100mph or so, that'd be true (but hell, a V6 Camry probably does better than a 4cyl Camry at that speed), but 80 isn't much of a stretch.

The only reason Clarkson got worse mileage in the Prius than M3 is because he took the car way outside the performance envelope. The M3 got up the speed and basically held it around the track while the pacesetting Prius was accelerating and decelerating as hard as it could. The M3 was basically relaxing behind it.

Scion is the shitty brand of Toyota. Comparable to Kia, Suzuki and the Geo cars. (makes me angry)

FR-S owners are noobs at cars and can't beat a 4cyl Mustang? Talk about overpriced pos car. (LOL! My students)

Twin owners are just trying to be Initial D. (fanbois who can't afford the twins...yet)

Mustangs are the best cars because they are so fast and speed is all that matters. ('Murica they tuk dur job)

One millisecond throttle response should be what convinces you to buy a car like a SI or a V8 Camaro. (Muscle gar heads)

Imports are for f@gs because they are just trying to be like muscle cars. (mama and daddy's boi who gets a 'vette for 15th bday)

^^^Stereotypes.

Once they get in my FR-S, they complain of size, fitment and cheap type of feel as I drive. Once I take them to small canyon driving or backroad curvy roads at 60-80mph where their own cars stock would barely make those turns at 50, they start sh!tt!ng bricks and change their opinion.

They twist their arm my way on the proven facts that, "speed is not everything. HP doesnt make the driver and driving doesnt have to be slow or fast to make you feel good." Driving is driving, but some cars have something that just gives you pleasure in life. Its not just the wide sexy hips of the twins but the maneuvering, the essence... I feel like a beast pulling up next to a 2015 Camaro, R/T or even a Corvette and just sitting their smiling and slowly driving whereas they blast through from a stop or red light.

It's the little things, ya know?

If you look at the post I was quoting, he was talking about Priuses "racing." But otherwise, you are correct.
