Guest DrTom Report post Posted June 16, 2003 I live in the richest city in Arizona. I just live in the bad area of it. Ok, let's reiterate. Bad neighborhood + $50,000 SUV + ridiculous yoed-out wheels + needlessly dark window tinting = cops thinking you're a drug dealer. I've never seen the point of getting things as gaudy as 24" rims. Do you plan on driving OVER other cars on the road? And to spend $7000 on rims and tires is ridiculous. My tires are almost a grand for all four (not including the rims, which are nice, but stock), and I think *that's* high. I'm certainly not going to wish anything bad on you, but I will have absolutely zero sympathy for you when you make a post here that your dope ride got jacked.

Guest Ripper Report post Posted June 16, 2003 If you are a love cars and are into the looks and everything, then getting ridicuoulusly expensive rims are all part of the lifestyle. Hell I have a friend that is behind on his mortgage and his FIRST priority is to get the air system fixed on one of his cars that he had dropped a few inches so it could look cool(or something...I'm not a car person so I obviously know nothing about this). As for getting robbed...the BETTER think you are a drug-dealer or you are going to get jacked. If they think you are a drug dealer, fear might stop them from going for your ride. If they think you are a rich boy, that car is as good as gone. I do think that his story falls in the catagory of being so unbelieveable it must be true. Because if you were going to lie, he could sweeten up the lie a little to make it more believeable. Of course a 18 year old having 20,000 saved up...does sound a little fishy.

Guest HBK16 Report post Posted June 16, 2003 Of course a 18 year old having 20,000 saved up...does sound a little fishy. Ok so my family is well off. In a board with this many members you are likely to have one that is rich. I am a car enthusiast. Having a nice car is very important to me. I dont mind cops thinking I am a drug dealer. They can stop me all they want for all I care. I have proof its mine. I knew it was a good idea to put this here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted June 17, 2003 If anyone's ever heard Adam Sandler's song "Piece of Shit Car", that pretty much describes my car (94 Corsica) to the letter. If I ever get a new car, Im going to figure out a way to crash it over a cliff or something, mainly because Im not going to be able to sell it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted June 17, 2003 Most of the time, I'm stuck driving my mom's 1992 Plymouth Sundance. I should also mention that it's Aqua and that most of the pain is peeling off. Oh, and the radio doesn't always work (it is now, though, thankfully). And another thing, it doesn't have any hubcaps left. 280,000 kilometres will do that to a car. Don't need to worry about anyone stealing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted June 17, 2003 If I ever get a new car, Im going to figure out a way to crash it over a cliff or something, mainly because Im not going to be able to sell it. A good friend of mine from back in the day had this 70-something Ford truck we casually called "The Beast" as it was quite that. Rust holes galore, exhaust pipe and muffler akimbo, we beat the vehicle so bad that it would only work in reverse. We had a grand scheme to take the doors off, don helmets, and drive it off a ramp into a lake. Alas, as these plans so often do..it never happened. If you succeed, post some pics or vids.

Guest The Old Me Report post Posted June 18, 2003 I just repoed a 2002 Escalade (Black) yesterday with 40,000 miles. The guy still owes like 42,000 and the bank will probably sell it for 25,000.00. And you are a dumbass, kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted June 19, 2003 While some of this stuff seems quite nice, DrTom makes a good drug dealer analogy. And you're not going to go off road with an SUV the size of this. And being a monster SUV, you're not going to be racing. So what's the point of all this stuff except to make an expression about your penis size? I mean, really? I'm a car guy myself too and while I'd love to be in your shoes, at the same time you're going from "let's hope this doesn't get stolen" to "STEAL MY STUFF" with all these add ons. Putting all that shit aside though, I like everything but the head unit. I'd get one of these instead because I /MUST/ have one of those satelite radio services you pay the monthly fee for (I like XM more currently, but Sirius will do.) FM around here sucks too much balls to go without. EDIT: Whoa. I guess I'd get one of these instead because the MSRP is lower (although Crutchfield price dropping the Kenwoods probably means you can find really good deals on them now, perhaps they're going extinct?) and it has second-generation XM chipset compared to first-generation Sirius in the Kenwood. You get my point though. Pay Radio > Free Radio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HBK16 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 I do like the first head unit you suggested but I have always been a fan of AudioBahn. I have always had AudioBahn and I have been very happy with the quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest newblood03 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 Most of this stuff my uncle bought for me. If you didnt already know, he bought it and didnt like it so sold it to me for 10 grand. He bought all of the audio stuff plus the installation. I had it all costum made in the back. He paid for all that. I paid for the rims. Now from protecting it from being stolen, it already had an alarm and I made a deal with my landlord that I can keep it in his garage as long as I never block his spot and he still has room for his car. I live in a bad place so protection is top priority for me. You say Uncle then you say Grandpa sooooooo. HMMMM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
