Falsifying evidence! I move for a mistrial, the court finds in favor of the Tbird, the Mustang was indeed falsy advertised as fast, since 14.9 isn't fast reguardless. Ford will be fined its reputation, and the Fox body, SN95, and 99-04 Mustangs shall here-to-for be refered to as Rebadged 78 Fairmonts. Any mustangs not built on the fairmont platform must look dumpy and handle poorly from the factory. Ford will be permitted to build race verions that have next to nothing in common with showroom cars for GT cup racing. The Thunderbird. Unfortunately it is beond the power of the courts to do anything to help, and shall be damned to obscurity and underapriciation by the automotive community. This court advises modification and enjoying the status of sleeper. We also recomend that the MN12 stay away from drag strips.

the one we encountered deffinately had a wing and rims. CR is great. tongue.gif

Dude, never post magazine test results here, you should be fired. graemlins/nonono.gif 1996 Ford Thunderbird SC V8 What is an SC v8? THere were SC's, made from 89 to 95, and sports from 96 to 97, but no SC v8's. Your source is stupid, never post crap again. graemlins/nonono.gif Stock, 15.2 was a bad day, and I'd still beat fox body stangs, even those with mild mods (ask hoblic tongue.gif ). With gears, cat back, and ghetto-intake, I was trapping 96 deep in the 14s. And the car is more comfortable, handles bettrer, brakes better, and looks better. http://www.tccoa.com/rides/pics/groeri.jpg The facts align, the 90 GT sucked, H.O.=Highly overated. Fuck you and your aftermarket support, I don't wanna hear about it. tongue.gif

can we get a screen shot and a "OWNED" across it? tongue.gif

Hate you Kenny...fuckin..hate you. tongue.gif http://images.southparkstudios.com/media/images/103/scary_cartman.gif This race realy was going to be good. I was pleased to see Trulli ont he pole in a toyota, bout damn time. tongue.gif The blame should be spread around. 70% yo Michellin for not being prepared and wanting everyone else to be handicapped for it. 20% to the FIA, christ guys, bad tires is not a new problem, they should have planned for something like this. And 10% to the teams who refused to race at a slower pace. They deserve their 0 points just for that. Technicaly, the AMG wagon that followed the field on the lap 1 should have scored in the points. Sad day, but hell, my ticket stub gets me free admission to the best CART race of the year. I *heart* Paul Gentilozzi. graemlins/thumb.gif

Clickity Anyone have a stub to drop? I'd like to take the woman up. smile.gif

fuckin' A graemlins/thumb.giftongue.gif

And thats AAALLLLLthanks to your boss, Jean Todt and the Ferrari brass. The prancing ponies fucked up F1 for the US with team orders. It's been struggling ever since. Its first year back was its biggest ever, and has come no where close since then. Nearly 200,000 in 2000, that's challenging the 500's attendence. Only 125,000 last year, estimated 100,000 this year.

If you're serious, you are a bigger idiot then I could have ever thought existed. The sheer fact that youcan maintain a breathing rythm astonishes me. The ability to type, as we've seen in the past, isn't inticative of intelegence, so I'm not suprised that you're able to post. Michellin would NEVER do anything so dumb in an international series. They're being boycotted by millions around the globe, Michelin Man effegies are being burned by people of all nations as we speak. Plus it took Renault out of the race, a frenchman would never do that. "The French" aren't some great evil genius power, they're not even organized. If this had happened in Brazil with Bridgestone tires taking Rubens out or in Silverstone taking out DC, Button, and Webber there would have been fires, garaunteed. There are hard core hooligans in those countries, we've seen soccer riots, expect somethign similar, but with the anger of a more expensive ticket. The Michellin reps would not have left the facility alive. The strategy on the part of IMS was downright shitty. THey knew what was up and they prepared for it by bulking up on police inside the track just before the cars took the grid. They knew what was going to happen, but they didn't say anything untill it was obvious, afterthe cars were int heir garages. Why? To keep ticket sales up untill the last minute. They sell GA tickets right up untill race start, and even a bit after. They knew no one would buy tickets if they knew the race itself was in question, so they kept quiet, and made as much as they could and prepared for the pissed off fans. Knowing the owner, this move wasn't suprising. Fuck Indy, as well as Michellin. Finaly, Tiago Monteiro, rubbing in some salt tongue.gif "The tires, Bridgestone did an amazing job. They’re getting better and better. No problems compared to Michelin, obviously,"

I just want the race I went there to see....or a free Tshirt saying: I WATCHED 6 CARS GO 73 LAPS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT My ticket stub is getting framed with my event poster.

Fromt he FIA: Indy, unfortunately, is the only US track that meets the FIA's criteria. I, for one, would much prefer a street race in NYC or Long beach, or Miami. Much better venues then Indiana, you're closer to people who care. Many many people swarm Indy from all over because that where the bulk of the US fans are, they certainly aren't in the corn belt.

Actualy, the back stands are empty because the command a veiw of nothing. Overall there were proably about 100,000 people there this weekend, all very dissapointed, I was one of them. Fomula one used to be great, Max mosely needs to die a firey death. FIA; Fuckwhits In Action He's going to do to the FIA what the Franzes did to Grand AM. This was only the second worste raceI've ver seen, first was the inagural run of DPs at the Daytona 24 hrs. F1 fans fight day to day to get our freinds and co workers into F1, getthemto watch, get them to understand, and what the fuck happens on our soil? The fucking FIA cant bend a rule and let Michelin bring in a new batch of tires, but they bent many a rul for Ferrari over the last few years so they could get a record broken. If it weren't for the 1 tire set rule, this wouldn't have happened. If Tony George hadn't fucked with the track, this wouldn't have happened. The only reason the Bridgestones survived was because they had track data from Firestone and were prepared. But even they wore HARD. I feel sorry for the people who traveld so far to be at that race. We drove 2 hours, but there was a huge columbian contingentthere. Some one was selling shirts before the race saying "I came all the way from Columbia to watch Mantoya WIN!" WHat is Spanish for "I'm sorry to hear that" ? I want a USGP shirt saying "I watched 6 cars race 73 laps and all I got was this stupid Tshirt". Who's up for burning Michelin Man Effegies?

looks shiney graemlins/thumb.gif

The Van was pulled off on the shoulder, not a carpool lane, likely dead and unoccupied. THe stang was probably hauling to get ahead of every car he could before the construction. Think I-270 east on the north side at westervill, where the left lane ends. If you look up the road you can see alot of activity, like night construction or something. The guys filming had radios. Possibly TV news. If you listen, you can hear the mustang drivers account of what happened; Paramedic: How'r you guy doin?" Mustang driver; "duuuuh" seriosly, listen.

With a title like "Trails Can Suck It", I'm tempted to sticky this. tongue.gif Everybody pos your worst trails experiences! Maybe we can start a "movement" of some kind. tongue.gif Mine: Twice, I drove through spilled coolant...sideways...IN THE TRAPS! Fuck a good launch, I'd be happy if their saftey crew was worth a shit and kept the line clean. I just ask for the simple things, like the truck at the end getting on the fucking radio when a car pulls off pouring fluids. They try to run cars too frequently to be safe, there.

one of those questions that you never thought you'd be asked, so the answere doesn't come to you as fast as it should. Today I was asked, by a grown 50 year old woman: "How many 16th's in an inch?" I was dumbfounded, and couldn't speak for over 5 seconds, until I found a suitable answer: "Twice as many eighths" graemlins/doh.gif

wow that just makes me want to forget about the crime, expense, and smog and just move right on out to LA. graemlins/nonono.gif

Incorrect. Three words, sound it out: Vah jye nah

CR's quote system is gay and wont let me do more then two, so I'll adress points by labeling them: Ok, so: A; No, it is not a movie style, though there is a movie named after it. You've probably seen the basic training "post" in a couple Jackie chan flicks; http://www.martialartsup.com/images/woodendummy-tripod.jpg B; So, a form that gets major media coverage overseas and is touted as being the bloodiest sanctioned fighting on earth, and the one you heard about on some Bruce Lee TV show. Not a great information base. C; Refer to the last sentence of the previous paragraph. I'm sure the late Bruce Lee appricates your love of his form, but I'm sure he would appriciate you actualy knowing something about it before you talk about it. "The way of the intercepting fist" is a form, it is a trainable technique. It's left open to more individual variation, but it is still a style, which you apparently hate. Mr Lee was a beleiver in fighting without style, but that is not something you can teach. The basis of his sans-style skill comes from having studied various styles. He spent his formative life studying Wa Lum, one of the traditional shaolin styles...that you hate. You cannot fight without form unless you know how to fight to begin with. That comes from studying a technique or two, you need a basis. Lee studied everything he possibly could. His fighting without form stemmed from his ability to blend everything together, and call from memory any number of combinations of strikes and movements that he learned from studying styles. Doing so without studying anything would be like trying to build a cruise missle without studying basic aeronautics or CS. D: BigBald1 touched on it. Honnestly I dont know, I recognized the form but haven't studied it (or any one style) thuroughly. But when I first saw the vid, I called that hit "Teh Win". graemlins/thumb.gif It was not a hard hit (though it was harder then it looked), but it didnt need to be. A balanced and controled individual never hits harder then they need to, no one wants to go to jail. Thugstyle had no defence whatsoever (though he looked like he'd dabbled in boxing), landing a hit was never a problem. Though you did accurately point out his "studder" at the first couple of swings. The kid is obviously just a student, it was probably the first street fight he'd been in. The kid is by no means a master, probably only gets lessons a few times a week. But, even though he may have stumbled a bit, but it was nothing Chicano noticed or would have taken advantage of. E; The gramar of your post was far worse then my lil mispelling. Case in point: WTF were you trying to say? What is "comfertable", some kind of special drop top automobile? tongue.gif So, I'm done with this discussion. On the off chance that there is an inteligeble and coherent conversation in your head (trying to get out but being foiled by poor writing skills), I'll say this; There are no inferior forms, only inferior fighters.

I'll give you that. Its over hyped. But, when studied properly, its more effective then muay thai will ever be. incorrect I don't sit around on my pc and study martial arts styles so I can talk shit on the internet. you obviously do, because you real have no depth. You hate kung fu cuz its gay? Jeet Kun Do IS a kung fu style you tit, do you know anything? I bet your just the new age bruce lee with as much as you know? I dont study anything on the internet, and i dont need to talk. The cracka certainly wasn't the best, but I'd bet money he's better then you ever will be, and he's just a student. I got on your ass because you cant see shit, dont know shit, and talk shit reguardless, knowing full well you probably couldn't take either of them. Muay Thai? Are you joking? "JKD"? Is that what the kids call Jeet Kun Do these days? Way to spot off buzz words. graemlins/thumb.gif The guy was using simple wing chun, and all you saw was "flailing arms like a bitch", I have a hard time beleiving you know jack shit about this.

You had quite a bit more velocity, and a stiffer car.

Time to change your name then. How about Skidmark, for your shitty tires? tongue.gif

look at the pic, that kid should be dead!? How do you survive that car folding like that? Soooo whats done to that integra to lift it from the Slow and make it actualy fast? So maybe he didn't know what was going on? He hit the pole sideways, so there had to me a mark somewhere, unless he never tried to correct or brake. Drivers ed classes need to teach more shit then just law, it's that simple.
