Anyways Just forgot to add this picture towards cano.
0WNED???
mwahahaha, ooh, yeah.
I did laugh at that one. yup, very cool. at least you have a good nick. welcome
and yup, I wont even argue with you, it aint even funny. I just wont even take the care to scroll down and read what you wrote, because I remember it was a real joke. own whoever you want, go on.
on another stuff, and talking to people you can talk with (read musclecarfan, DGB, and so on), yeah, I guess you got that right, but for me a muscle car is somewhat lame if it aint modded -__- (or anything else, by that matter) and dont get me wrong, again I know the charm and coolness of a stock thing, complete with bias ply tires, so the effin raw power and gas smell will really fight you back and get you goose bumps and make you say oh **** and stuff like that, and that your stock car car pass over an M5 BMW or even some Ferraris, and you can presume that that thing is stock, I do know, I have been around cars all my life and know my share of stuff, a little know-how (yeah, I have absolutely no money to buy not even a VW bug, much less anything with a V8 on it, altough I learned to drive on a V8... my dad´s car -__- wich he wouldnt let me touch
) and have driven some muscle cars, courtesy of friends and a cousin who had a couple of things. but as I drove some modded machines and began comparing them to the stock cars in, say, mustang club mexico, the difference is startling o.O hey, if I had any money, I would buy and build a car, my effin fairmont, so to speak
but then again, my life has changed so much in the last two years that now the last thing I think about is getting a car... priorities change... two years ago if I had a job, all the money gained would have gne to the car, now it aint like that anymore. hey, Im young, so I wont loose the hopes of one day turn the crank on some good projects. at least one, dammit... over here in mexico we dont have all the stuff you got over there dude, my hands-on experience is, I can say, nule compared to yours (musclecarfan) but its because of the danged car culture we have over here in mexico, wich should be really BIG and cool considering how close we are to the states, but it isnt. its
raquitic. you speak about a V8 here and everybody is like
wtf? it could be said that car culture has had its boom around 10 years ago, but I mean car culture in general, classics, restorers, hot rods, imports, the complete. the car craze in mexico is just beggining, and it has the tremendous advantage that we are REALLY close to all the action. the humongous disadvantage we have here is the lack of funds. I know maaaany people who would love to mod a car, even some hot rodders, true to the word, hardcorish guys who really get it but cant pull off a thing because they barely survive with what they do in their jobs. drag strips? come on, I think 15 years ago there wasnt a real drag strip in mexico, and the only one suitable for it, in the Hermanos Rodriguez, was full of holes and never opened to the public. just lately cars have gotten a real interest from all the people, and car culture is begginign to grow and explode here. it is exciting, but at the same time dissapointing to see how great cars and times we lost, specially if you look at the story of the states, where rodding has been around for 80 years. what the hell happened here? why didnt cars enjoyed such a strong love? its a mistery, but it may be solved in the next few decades. our culture and yours is very different, and what Mexico is missing are innovative minds who will take challenges, and quality ones at that. I know, for example, a certain EUA member´s dad who is a real hardcore hot rodder and has a backyard shop full of stuff, where he is thinking about turning a 66 charger into a midengine beast. and that is a back yard builder. impressive. I mean, in mexico, even swapping an engine is like "you are way nuts dude, just add a carb" and then we come and take a look at the backyards in the USA. the difference is enormous. swapping an engine here is considered job of a "pro" shop, and then we have blue phoenix, who is thinking about dropping a 400 into his monte. his first car. really cultures are different here and there, and minds are beggining to change. I dont mean to justify any mistakes I have made while posting in this thread, as I do recognize that a Fairmont aint a muscle car, but it can somewhat be, if you have a broad definition of a muscle car. at the very least, a RWD V8 machine can be considered one, if you dont go to the said expenses "liteweight coupe, big engine" and such, wich for me really doesnt count that much. we need new stuff here, precisely because muscle cars NEVER came here. oh yeah, we had mustangs and chevelles, but chargers, challengers, cudas, GTXs, elCaminos, Camaros, none of them NEVER got to mexico. no oldsmobile. no pontiac during those golden years. higest compression ratios were 8.5 to 1. it was miserable. wee need to do with what we have. for example, the mustang II, wich we got with a 302 four barrel while you USAers got with a 4-cyl thing. we need to explore and experiment, because the chances to find a classic and to do some GOOD work with it are really slim. they are out there, I know it, but they arent plentyful. we need to work with what we have, or culture will never grow. and that is always what Im trying to do. guys like me you should know tens of thousands, but over here we are fairly rare -__- as the "car culture" has been contaminated with the cancer that "the fast and furious" style rice represents. the other day I saw a charger with that stupid supra sticker on its side. I wanted to cry. it is incredible what media can do to spread stuff. I hope that this fad passes away and a sane, good car culture can grow on Mexico, as we need it immensely. there is a love for cars, but there aint no real means to express it. it is happenin and I want to be a part of that in a way no one would possibly argue (I think) and doing the best I can. you can blame me for that?
it seems that Cleveland can o.O
Cano
phew, that was long, sorry. Id say thanks if you read it complete. if you are cleveland, I dont say nothing. and musclecar, what has happened with yer gasser? is it still sittin?
but anyway the group name was muscle car fan club . not modded muscle cars or pro touring muscle cars you under stand right?but anyway your car looks great really was that one of those cars called a heavy chevy?you have heard of those right?cant remember what year they were 71or72 some where in that era
I love MOPAR so much. I have a MOPAR shirt that I proudly wear at school all of the time. I'm only 14, but am currently looking for a '69 Charger, which I will make into an R/T clone. Probably paint it sublime green, have a black vinyl top and black R/T stripe, along with some Magnum 500 wheels and a 440 Magnum V-8 engine. Like I said, that's what I hope to own before I get my drivers license and have to drive to school.
but really am i not correct.. i have talked to so many older people at car shows that were my age when the muscle was out and they said that thats what GM Ford and Dodge oh yeah and AMC where trying to do and i believe that.. and you can see it.. the cars did perform well and some were even sorta built to handle too.
).. it may just compete farely well with american muscle hehehehehe.. i want a 69 gto Judge or something
