the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer

The hair dryer was good for getting the "Gurley Leep" off....but the damn thing heated up the body around civic and si and gave me a blister because it was so hot when i was rubbing it...but it still looks nice and then after work i went and washed it too....shining like a diamond

I was actually gonna make a whole post on this subject, but I figure I'll just ask in this one. What is it with import drivers taking the badges off? I know in some cases it looks cleaner (unless it's bolted and not glued) like with a body kit, but I just don't get it. It's almost like you're ashamed and don't want people to know what kind of car you drive (the same reason I don't wear my nametag at work...people don't need to know I work there). I'm happy to display the emblems of the company who gave me a platform to create what I drive now...so what gives?

You know me and dingo where talking about that yesterday about an eclipse. It had rs emblems but then i got to thinking.
"man..if i had like a 11 sec GSX i would pull it off and put those ugly ass rs emblems on there to sucker thme into it.....(maniacal laugh) Hmm.... yes suckers "


As fas as the pulling off emblems as a part of disgraced no im not to admit i drive a honda. I left the "H" on there just pulled of "Civic" and "SI" look so much better. Also the "chrome" plating was popping again like it did last year so i said "**** it" and off they came

i for one took em off cause my chrome plating was coming off and you could read only A__O_D _X on it. plus the remaining letters had some green shit on them, they looked like they had tubrculosis or something

i just dislike advertising in any way, shape, or form. We are bombarded with it everywhere we go, so why should my vehicle have it also? Plus, anybody who cares enough to say, "hey that car has no emblems" should be observant enough to know "gee its a fourth gen honda hatch".

plus, i think it looks cleaner, but thats not my primary reason
