c-lo Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 :lol:my 7year old was playing need for speed underground yesterday. Last night I met the wife and kids for dinner. coming home my son got in my car and he wanted to beat mom and sister home. well, of course we did 'cause our car was "faster than the civic " and we had a head start. But my son says: "dad, I really want you to put some red neon under your car like the cars in need for speed, I think it would look really cool":lol: We had a father son discussion about ricers. I doubt he understood, but we'll see next time we pass one. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos

Jerboa113 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 tell him that was cool in 1997 and that need for speed is WAY behind the times on this one. I once was there.. I should write a book. "there and back again, an ex-ricers tale." I am embarassed by my past. I had a white suv in highschool with neon and chrome and all that crap on it.. it was hideous.

Embrace it! 15 years ago in high school I had a Cherokee with a massive system and I replaced all the gold accents on the black truck with purple and bright blue accents. The 4 subs had the magnets painted pink too! It was awesome I tell ya!!:cool:
Jerboa113 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 yea.. but.. the thing was 2wd.. and it had street tires what the HELL did I need those guards for? and they werent cheap either.. Every time I had it worked on they would break a neon tube and I would have to buy a new one. (any major work anyway.) it had no performance mods at all.. 0-60 was about 12 seconds. I had a nice stereo in it.. I guess... eclipse CD5440 deck, autotek SX2300 and SX2150 amps, autotek components (garbage) and 2 audiomobile evo 12s. It did around 140s in an outlaw db drag.
