except the ev vs ice debates have just moved there.
one of those bronzed rules is don't be repetitive... now that's funny!
to me the forum adds zero value. car chat will become certainly be quiet. all we'll need is this thread.
Who doesn't like to analyze stuff from all angles? It's fun! Lol
Honestly, it's the friggin trolling and hate for EV's that just makes it unbearable to participate and I notice when that happens the thread gets closed.
So happy mods are putting the foot down!
AND, made rules clear. ICE chat and EV chat both.
Hey I realize people aren't perfect and neither am I but we don't need the hate here. IMO.
I'm here to talk with friends about cars, not drama. Lol
Thanks! These are actually INDIVID wheels and my brother is the designer and manufacturer. He had worked for HRE and I did have HREs on it at one point. 19" 44R, but that was before paint and body kit.
The car was Midnight Indigo originally and I went with Indigo Ink Pearl for the repaint. 8P4. It's a factory color on first gen IS cars and SC430s. If you can spray a factory color that looks custom, do it. It's easier to match if something bad happens.
I have a mixed feeling about this. IMO it's nice to talk about EVs here because they are both transportations. But having its own sub, people won't need to see things they're not interested.

few threads get closed and mostly for going off topic, not because of trolling/hate. those that do that get booted from the thread, or i got booted from the hyundai recall thread because of ... things. but it wasn't closed.

i 100% disagree. forums are lively by having DISAGREEMENTS, not echo chambers. sure people should be respectful and not trolling.
but a lot of what happens here is some people just don't like change. you at least have a great sense of humor and politeness and are also OPEN to saying "maybe there's something to what i'm not familiar with"! but no, we have to create a new segregated sandbox so users with different perspectives don't interact.

Hi Bit, I agree with you more than you think friend.
I see it's hard to stay laser target on topic, maybe impossible to be perfect, I don't know.
However, trolling hate and disappointment of EV's in almost every EV thread VERY often runs the thread off topic in my observation -over and over and over repeatedly. lol
Now we're talking about grid overload, etc, etc, etc..... Rinse and repeat. lol

I 100% agree, you have no arguement from me.

Uh... I think that applies to most people including me too. lol
However, nobody should be obligated to see threads -whether EV or ICE- if they have no interest in. Just IMO
Add- if someone WANTS talk about EV's they can voluntarily go to EV chat by their choice to be there.
Gosh I don't know ya'll, we all may have different feelings on this so that's all I have,.
I don't have the answers, just ideas, and all I say here in this thread.
I didnt see anything. because I didn’t leave the house
I thought I hit the jackpot on the way to the store.
Saw a nice Black IS300 but he was too dam fast for me to get a pic cuz I got stuck behind a slow poke, so I got no pic, dammit! lol
But I did get this beauty.
Not crazy about the shade on the color but heck with it, it's a Porsche and I'd drive it. lol
And this one, MINT !!!
And a pair of Harley Electro Glides in the back of an old pickup.
Bikes are worth more than the truck
This is the way to roll if going to a Biker rally, don't have to find trailer parking, lucky to find any parking. lol

That’s a nice haul. That Porsche colour is definitely not my cup of tea. And yeah…the bikes are worth more that the truck. Haha
We saw this the other day at the shopping mall. That is NOT my thing. I’d rather had a Toyota or Lexus body on frame suv with full time 4WD
I also saw this. But tell you the truth…I think I’d rather have a Miata
also saw this a week ago…
