I am a ranting idiot!!

Okay people, now I am not the smartest person in the world, and I don't know everything about maximas, but some people . . .

1) Someone posted a thread because they wanted to know what was involved in chromeing and polishing their intake manifold and valve covers. Now that's just fine by me, but the problem is they didn't know which was which!!

it's okay if you don't understand how a car works, but if you're going to start modifying one then you should at least lean the basics first. I reccomend www.howstuffworks.com as a starting point.

2) My sisters boyfriend has a 95 max. He put some flowmasters and a base in it. I don't like that kind of stuff, but I can see why someone would. Then I noticed that the right front turning light(not the signal, but the side illuminator) was gone with just a gaping hole there. He said that "its been that way ever since I had the car."

Again modifying is great if that's what you wanna do, but you have to at least keep it looking as good as a stock one or better.

anyone else have a story of shame or discust to share (even if it's about me!) or even some links to help these people out.

it is okay to rant as long as it is tactful and not personally injurious/verbally abusive. just learn how to spell.

However, he does have a point in there. Guys how many times have we seen Civics with body kits and aluminum wings and the car is rusting apart? They put all of there money into that $hit and they don't even bother fixing what is wrong with the car.

at least this thread has taken on a sort of unique style! i love the picketing smily face guys! at this point, we could talk about anything! like: how chewing gum becomes hard and tasteless the longer it is chewed! or how pencils are manufactured! how to bathe your pet. what to wear to work without being too tasteless. how to change the air conditioning filter in the house. when to plant perrenials. is that how you spell that?
