You think they would buy it if I told them the website came off my windshield? Maybe I should use alittle crazy glue too.

Re: 300zx ticket

I should enter my Z in Pimp My Ride... then after they unveil my Z with 24" Dubs, retractable Ping-Pong table, six TV's, huge stereo system, no-engine, tweed seats and a purple-chamelon paint job... I'll take the pleasure in bludgeoning to death XZibit and his band of West Coast Custom's fags!

God sent me to this world to purify.

Speedo broken, use tach.

I'm sure he was the first guy who thought of that.

Anyway, this is merely further proof that TV sucks.

More on topic, give the tach a few weeks and you'll forget the speedo exists. I even look past it when it reads 120mph at idle.

"I have the tallest gearing in the world!"

Thanks K3, I've been using my tach's for years as it's more accurate than the speedo, I fact most course racers use a tach and don't have a speedo for shifting. Done right you can keep the engine in the power band.

yep, i was just explaining what he meant by that statement about "pimp my ride"...

i know a few people that dont have the speedo working either and they just go with the tach...its probably becoming a new fad with the ricers. "Whoa dude, im gonna disconnect my MPH guage so i can only use the RPM guage, then people will know im a true RACER!!! JDM TYTE YO, PIMP MY RIDE, HOE, YEAH, CRUNK BABY, PIMP JUICE, i look clean in my white-T!!!!"
you guys ever heard that song?...stupidest song ever.
