You know what really grinds my gears...

Bad BMW wallpaper.
Any websites out there for good BMW wallpapers?

That took 5 whole seconds on Google. Any more brainbusters for us?

Bad synchros really grind my gears.


This belongs in OT or photography.

[the_brouhaha]

I got the best one ever!

Its a really close up pic, maybe even photoshopped of the roundel in carbon fiber. Super clean, and matches my computer!

[cmy_bimmer]

This is mine.

[the_brouhaha]

Hahah it says world gym, I work for world gym!

Hhahaha

Almost sexy. So close. :(

Why the F*CK do people insist on using cheap ass parts? None of those pieces on the front fender line up! :mad: Those wheel arches look tacky as f*ck, and the bumper is too short. Chinese eGay pieces FTL. :tsk:

Some of us have kids and bills and cant afford genuine parts.

Chad wouldn't understand that, he drives a Jaguar

[cmy_bimmer]

Yea, he has grandchildren instead :p

Right. If you can't afford stuff that fits, just don't buy anything. Your car looks INFINITELY better stock than with a bunch of sh*t that doesn't fit right. There are some things I'd love to do to my car right now. I have no money for it, hence it stays as is. I'm not putting on parts that have 2" fitment issues.

You idjits..... :slap: :rofl:



Derek.....we've been over this before. My Jaguar was not expensive by any means. Lets get real here guys, I'm not ballin' - it just looks like it :p

How much did your M5 cost anyway?

Yeah, thought so.

:p

[DNRC]

you get what you pay for

and stereotyping Jaguar owners is fun :D

Exactly. So why pay sh*t prices and make your car inevitably look like sh*t? Go big or go home. Don't do the candy-ass cheap stuff just to have the mods. A clean stock car will never get any disrespect from anyone worthwhile. Buy putting cheap parts on, you open yourself to worlds of laughter. That car could be PERFECT. Yes, perfect. But it's not. It looks like a joke once you look closely, because the owner thought a $50 eGay bumper and $20 "widebody" wheel arches would be mad-tyte-yo, instead of saving up for another few months and doing it right, and having a damn sexy car. Hell, he might have even gotten his car on the first page of Google & Google Images......:lmao:


I blow stereotypes to smithereens. I think this is sufficient proof:

Now that you mention horrible body kits and mods, I'll have to hunt down a Supra I keep seeing with an awful widebody kit and steelies just to snap a pic for you. It hurts my heart every time I see it.

Hahaha. All my RTs were terrible that night. And yeah, it's a terrible track, there's no traction at all. It's a makeshift deal in the parking lot of our football stadium -- cheap asphalt with crap on it, no traction compound, etc. And, I was (am :() on sh*tty Continental ContiExtremeContact All-Season tires. I'd never raced an auto before, it took some getting used to....:rofl:

Hopefully over the summer I'll get a chance to go to Sears Point and give it a real test at a real drag strip that's 1/4 mi and work on getting my RTs down.

FWIW, my friend has a fully built Mustang that is WAY faster than mine. He couldn't get it to hook up well at the track, either, and was running slower times than mine. Can't do anything about a bad track. :dunno:

No, please don't. That would hurt. :bawling:

I think mrs. boss needs to not get her panties in a bunch. You didnt have to respond if you didnt want to.

P.S. that website isnt that great. Thanks anyways

[E36 Phantom]

Actually, now that I think of it, I've got a couple really sweet E46 M3 ones on my desktop. You want me to upload them or no?

[MrAbbs325is]

You know what really grinds my gears? People who don't use google... Sh*t edit your own and make a sweet custom wallpaper.

[cmy_bimmer]

If this one was bigger, Id put it on my desktop:

I love that front mount intercooler...Drool

[BombSquad91]

V Mount intercooler for the win. Hey Chad, my Honda did the 1/4 almost as fast as your Jag does the 1/8. Funny huh?:dunno:

Um, maybe this is silly since its back on topic... but why not just use pictures of your own car? Those are always my favorites, and the ones that I keep up the longest. Same goes for my phone and the other computer. Various stages and locations and cars, but all mine. Inspires a whole hell of a lot more "warm fuzzies" and happiness when I look at them than some stranger's car that you don't even know the story on how/why it was built.

[BombSquad91]

Chad, my Honda was classy and stylish.

[MrAbbs325is]

No Honda lawnmower is classy and stylish, they dont belong in the same sentance...

This is true. I've got this one as my background right now. Just did a photoshoot yesterday, when they finish processing the rest I'll post em up but I love this one so much I grabbed it and made it my desktop instantly:

This one is another one I was considering making the desktop:
183100

Honda+Classy+Stylish=Impossible.

Sorry bro. Not to be rude, but Hondas are simply *never* classy or stylish, just by definition of being a Honda. Yours looked damn good for what it was though. :thumbup:

[BombSquad91]

Thanks bro.
