The Car or Thing that gets you Inspired Thread

[Bflat]

What gets me inspired?? Knowing I'm better than this guy... My love note off Bounga!!




Love you man...

I got one too! The xmas card list is growing

The technical specs of that thing are awesome but it looks like someone half closed their eyes and tried to draw a HSV Commodore bumper on it.

yeah, a little tacky IMO.

im a fan of subtlety. those specs in a stock 5 series looking car with some subtle carbon accents and some "no they dont have to be 21 *&^%ing inches big" wheels, that'd do me.

[Buller_Scott]

Yeah... Read the Polo/XR5 thread. It's a great laugh.

hey boys he's one of us now!

in spite of all the sh7t he copped + focus is a better car + he's had a few days to learn more about the 9n3's deficiencies, he's still decided to stick around and embrace his dub...

looks like it was meant to be.

anyways, the best bindings out there inspire me:



oh. and this one is NOT photoshopped, it's NOT doctored or imaginary in any way - the good ole' pillow line:

You CANNOT slide a 125GP bike unless your name is Noboru Ueda


Marco Melandri had his moments


Max Biaggi celebrates a win


And Randy shows how it's really done

[GoLfMan]

Awesome stuff. Will always remember Marco winning the Aussi GP and celebrating on his last lap with a huge powerslide out of turn 12

Carl Foggarty also used to be an epic slider

man, awesome stuff - cheers gareth! i can only imagine that a tahoe super storm's powder would be like all you can eat fairy floss...

despite the fact that i'll look for a park every time, i love pow so much.

i love this shot from google images - in the valley at rusutsu, between mt isola and east mt., a long flat often off - camber green run that is a serious leg killer if you're on a board. this pic reminds me of my time there - big friggin mountain, lots of pow, extremely serene, and practically no one on the mountain even though it's peak season:

It's good to see at least one American car company designing American looking cars...

[thestu]

OMG thats hideous!

[Bflat]

OMG thats hideous!

It's the ride height, right?

i dont reckon that looks too bad... very american, almost unapologetically.

at the risk of sounding like james may (he has a point), provided this thing's nice and comfy and its suspension WASNT tuned at laguna seca or the nurburgring etc etc, this'd be a pretty bad ass GT car (as long as it doesnt understeer TOO horrifically).

i'd rock it on those sunny spring weekends.

That is exactly it, Unapologetically American.

There have been too many American car makers trying to take on the Europeans and Japanese at making European and Japanese cars, and it will never work, but likewise there is no European or Japanese car maker that could produce a pure Lead Sled like this.

I could imagine cruising the Vegas strip or Santa Monica Boulevard in it.

I love the rear, the overhang and the way it kicks up at the back. Pure Cadillac.

[thestu]

man that thing looks like the titanic went wrong...oh wait it did!

Not the ride height...ok maybe a lil...but the lines don't match up...the front is like a brick and the sides are amazingly cool and then bam the rear punches you in the face like chuck norris' 7 fists behind his 2nd chin!

bad example.

im sorry, but jack bauer rips arse over chuck norris:

HAHAHA

Jack Bauer once lost reception on his cell phone. 24 hours later AT&T announced that it would have more bars in more places.
