last week while eating some Costco dogs for lunch, i ran into a del slow with is300 altezza tail lights, i laughed, and then i showed my friend and he laughed, we all had a gay ol' time and ate costco dogs and chicken bake.
at least we now know how Supras and Skylines feel.

Browsing import sites, I have seen this a lot lately : Car owners buying GS parts off of eBay and molding them to fit their cars. I've even seen a GM truck with GS headlights. I don't know if I should be flattered or insulted!
It's kind of like the 80's when you would see a Nissan Minitruck with Mercedes emblems < there's a word for it but it's racially offensive>. What do you guys think?

Frankly, I think there is too much of this so-called "racially offensive" stuff...we do have freedom of speech. I happen to be a straight white male, but but just to show you I'm not a hypocrite, if someone wants to tell me that I drive a "cracker" or "honky" or a "girlie" or a "feminine" machine,......hey, I couldn't care less. I wouldn't be offended in the least. I drive what I want to...period. Others can either make fun of it or accept it for what it is....that is just simple freedom of speech.

I make a concious effort not to be make comments that I "THINK" might offend someone.
Now let's get back on topic.

I was reading this months Top Gear, and they reviewed the Mini Cooper Convertible and called it "a car for metrosexuals". The article began with desrcibing with a "metrosexual" might be. I was surprised. They got stereotypes for whatever a person drives.
