Quote from AMB :

Yes, My wife and kids died in a horrific crash, i'm going to get the Grim Reaper because he took them from me.

I'm sorry to here that. Wait, did that happen? Anyway yeah, if your wife and kids died, people usually get a tattoo of them since it was something bad that happened in their life.

Quote from 5haz :

i want

sex with

Dude, a tattoo isn't something to just get. It must be based on a something that happened in your life. Well, that's the proper thing to do here in America.

Quote from chavm481 :

i hate everything american from 1980 to present

Well, some cars aren't as better today as they were back then. So, I can see why you hate them. BTW, have you heard that there is a new Concept Barracuda?

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Quote from Rubenz81 :

Maybe this one?

The longest car chase in films. And way more credible and entertaining (IMO) that anything in Rice and Furious.
The name of the film it's "Bullit", same film of the mustang pics i posted before

that is not the same charger, but still, Bullit has had the best car chase scene ever! Those V8's sound amazing without background music. Like in Transformers, that Saleen Mustang would have sounded better without background music. Anyway, that Charger isn't the same as the one in FNF, but who else cares? To make it hang a wheelie, they had to have this-----> http://www.famouscars.de/image ... tfatf-70charger-how01.jpg and from a better veiw----> http://www.famouscars.de/image ... tfatf-70charger-how02.jpg . So that is why the Charger in Bullit is still going to be better.

Sorry, had to yell at someone because their sweater was hideous.

Quote from Electric Eye :

Hehe, well shouldn't pay attention to people who speak about USA and what it is like when they haven't been/lived there.

You get various people everywhere... UK isn't much better on the fatness account - based on what I see and on statistics.

if u really want to come, come then! it's your life, and it's your choice. USA will be fine for you.

Quote from jonny__27 :

Which one? The original or the remake?

ps: me prefers original Eleanor...

Oh, remake. That '67 GT500E looks better to me. still, the original isn't that bad.

Quote from Electric Eye :

Well things hopefully wont be as bad as they are now in 8-10 years, and the crisis will sort out after some time...

No need to quote my whole post ;P

yeah. ok i got it! still, USA is cool. triple posting BTW, sh**!!!! OOOOH i have to stop!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

But cheap gas!



Same everywhere.



Great food. Especially if you live by the shore.



Again, not if you live by the shore.



I only ever saw one gun that wasn't on a policeman's belt, in three years of living there. And it wasn't being pointed at anyone.

Honestly, where are you getting this stuff from?

i may be double posting again, but in Colorado, we have nice places to eat, gas is pretty cheap, you can get European cars over here(but american cars aren't that bad), and not every girl you meet is fat here. Probably since there is a lot of mountain trials and the fact that some girls climb Pike's Peak. Also, the Pike's Peak hill climb rally rce is here. This race is when people take cars with up to 700-1000 hp and race up the mountain. Whoever has the fastest time wins. So, I agree with you on a lot of things (sorry for talking about the Pike's Pike hill climb. It was random). Where are you guys getting your information from? USA is a good place to live. Just not so much the accents. The southern people's accents are quite strange .

Quote from Electric Eye :

Heya people ;-) There's one thing that I am curious about and thought this would be a good place to speak about it since we've got people here from all over the world.

So ok here I am, turned 17 couple weeks ago - still going to school. Later on plannin' on going to university - already received conditional acceptance for the course I want to do. The course should take 6 - 7 years.

Currently I'm living in Scotland, and the thing I'm thinking about - is moving to the U.S.A. at some point in my life *just a thought*. Most likely the smartest thing to do would be to try and get a job over there after getting masters. But it seems to me as it could be quite complicated to get that done since I'd require visa and other stuff. So has anyone here got any experience with getting a job there while you're still located in the UK - or somewhere else Non U.S.A. Any general comments/knowledge sharing would be very well appreciated!

Please do not start posting nonsense about it being a seriously stupid idea or anything like that. Not in mood for crap.

P.S. If there's anyone who'd be up for a chat about this matter elsewhere, for example Skype or Msn I'd be more than happy to do so!

Thankies

well, I live in the USA, and things are not at their absolute best right now. The unemployment rate is going up because of our economy. Jobs are getting cut for a lot of people. You could try it, but things will start off at a rocky start.

MAN! I can't WAIT for this one to come out! It's going to be the best one YET! All the oirignal characters are back, thats why. Also, that '70 Charger RT is coming back!!!! YES!!!

so, i see a lot of people want a turbo. so how about air scoop and blower, or turbo?

Quote from samjh :

the time-travelling delorean from back to the future!!! :d

awesome!

Quote: Life is considered a challenge. Just don't let it BECOME a challenge. You work to keep food on the table, and sometime's money issues come up. Just the harder you work, the harder it will be to slow down.

Quote from samjh :

You sound a lot like me when I was 17, except my father is not a "mate", and I hardly knew my mother.

I'm no shrink, and have no interest in family counselling. However, I've had a LOT of trouble in my own life too, having to support my family, dealing with family members suing each other, betrayed by my mother and sisters, father, etc. So I can definitely understand your "care more about stuff away from home" feeling. I used to feel that way also, like work was a way to escape family worries, and it's disheartening when you don't have work anymore to shelter yourself in.

I can't give you real "advice". I don't know you, and therefore cannot give you any better advice than what you can give to yourself. I'm just going to throw some questions for you to ponder. Maybe you'll start to have some ideas after considering them.

How do you get along with you sister? And is she old enough for you two to talk in-depth about these problems? If she is old enough and you two are close enough, perhaps you should talk with her (notice "with", not just "to") about the situation in your family and how it might be improved.

It sounds like you're getting very unreasonable treatment from your mother. Is it the divorce from your father? If you resemble your father, maybe she resents it. You said she has a disability; what does it prevent her from doing? People who were whole and healthy can find it very hard to cope when they are suddenly unable to do what they want, and that results in crankiness, being unreasonable, complaining about life and everything - these last for many years, and can escalate from Adjustment Disorder to clinical Depression.

Don't focus on rights and wrongs. It's difficult to ignore the wrongs other people do to you, especially from your own family. But the problem with letting the anger fester is that you'll end up transmitting the same angst to your own family, if you ever get married and have children of your own. "Ungrace" within families is like a genetic disease, which spreads unless you cure it within yourself. I'd be willing to wager that your mother probably had family problems when she was growing up. The only cure I know of, is that you LOVE your mother, even if she HATES you, remembering that even though she treats you like dirt, she still keeps a roof over your head, looked after your schooling, bore you into this world, while trying somehow to look after her own problems.

(My biological mother left me when I was a baby - literally on the street - and I only met her 21 years later. She has defrauded me a large sum of money since then, but I still respect the fact she is my mother, and try to treat her well. Hard? Yes. But it's better for my conscience than bearing a grudge and carrying it on to the next generation.)

Have you actually tried moving out and living with your dad? Is it possible? I wonder what her reaction will be if you did.

Here's the only piece of advice I feel comfortable giving. This is life. You can either learn from it and make yourself a better person, or just "don't care" and trash yourself. Be positive. Make an effort to control what you can, and don't worry about controlling something you can't. You can't control your mother, but you can control your perception of her and how you react to her behaviour.

Well, that's a lot of mumbo jumbo, but I hope it helps you somehow.

wow. man, your life isn't the best right now, but think of this... if you leave all that behind, forget about your screwed up family members (im not saying YOU are screwed up, the rest of your family is, but not the ones your trying to support), keep your head up, think positive about everything, and push those out of the way who are trying to hold you back, life will get easier for you. Someone is always going to be there samjh to always ruin your day, but if you let it happen, it will. Grab life by the horns though, and things might get easier. I'm no expert at advice, but seriously, don't let anything get you down! Also think of this... you have the family you are supporting at home who loves you, and always wants to see you smile. People who try to ruin your life don't have that. They have anger and sadness in their hearts and minds, and they always need to find someone to empty it out so they can feel better. Life will turn around dude, you just need to do make it turn around!

also, the reason why people on LFS say that to other people irish noob, is because they DON'T have the guts to actually say something like that to other people's faces. So they say that just to try to make that person feel worse. How about you either say something like that to someone's face, or don't say it at all.

Quote from wheel4hummer :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercharger#Automobiles

There is a section that says the following:


Which clearly is completely false. There is no truth in that paragraph. At first, I deleted the whole paragraph. I check back on wikipedia today, and to my dismay the paragraph has been restored! WTF? So just now i added in three or four citation needed tags. Wikipedia is horrible. Don't use it if you actually need real information.

the reason why it isn't true, is because random people make the topics and post them onto wikipedia. wikipedia sucks anyway.

Quote from Klutch :

To be honest, you need to stop biting the bait.

If she starts getting angry or whatever, just sigh and walk away.

theres really nothing you can do until you can get a better paying job and move out, or move in with a friend or something

If I ever did that to my mom, I would be living somewhere else.
