I like the green Royal Pine air fresheners. Always did. When I open my car door after not being in it for a couple months, I get a flood of old memories back and it always makes me smile.

Admission: I like these cars.

I like that paint scheme!!....... I wonder why??????

[dcozzi]

I like huge cars that were never meant to handle well. Like the barges they built in the 60's.

Bonnevilles
Caprices
Impalas
Buick Wildcats
Lincolns

I would love to try to make them handle and put big cube aluminum motors in 'em.
It's like driving your around in your living room and the back seat is a teenager's dream.

I think car names are pretty ridiculous, but necessary to differentiate your Camaro from all the rest. Actually, the names often aren't so bad, but why must they all be "Project" something? That's what gets me.

I dig cars that sit "right", no matter what size wheel or tire they're on.

Just because a part is Carbon Fiber or aluminum doesn't mean it belongs on the car.

I like it when all the hose ends and fittings are the same color... I'm not big on blue, red, and purple. The black ones are expensive, but you can strip the blue and red with oven cleaner and a buffing wheel, leaving a nice matte silver.

Just because something is "fabricated" doesn't mean it's right.

Some carbed cars run as well as EFI cars without the setup and tune time.

Old motors are cool.. Nailheads, AMC, Olds, Cads, Pontiacs, Buicks.. even early small block Chevys. Almost every BBC is cool. You don't need a new motor transplant to be cool. Just make whatcha got run right. (Although new motors are killer as well.)

I think the best part of the PT scene is the the underlying requirement that the cars need to run right and are expected to be driven hard! That's cool anywhere!

I'll now refer to all of my toys as Project PROJECT. :bsjerk:

I'd rather associate myself with the 18yo who Auto-Xs his Honda (built with his McDs paycheck) than the 50yo who polishes his $100K+ "investment" Muscle Car.

Hey, I'm just agreeing. Don't read into it more than that.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

i second the low buck street brawler emotion!

[subtlez28]

I am sick of car show (only) cars.

If it doesn't get raced or at least beat on the street I don't care.

Give me a low buck functional hot rod over a $50k masterpiece any-day.

That is the beauty of PT, right! So down with 50 lb billet wheels, named cars, and "1,000 hp" engines that don't have good time slips or autocross trophies!

(Sorry, that came out in a furry. I've been bottled up inside.)

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Looks like a car engine is also a "motor" as the dictionary defines the term, under multiple definitions.

[T_Raven]

^^Damn!! Now I have to stop correcting people who say motor too. I just think engine sounds better lol. I think it's because every redneck and hill billy I've ever met said motor and "engine" just sounds so more sophisticated haha

I've seen some nice cars with these behind the wheels:


Can it be more obvious as to what the car doesn't have? That's like putting a rolled-up sock in your pants with half of it hanging out the top.

This is probably my biggest pet peeve!!! I'd rather see the stock brakes nicely detailed than this crap!
