If you put a rocket on a dumptruck, it will go fast, but its still a dumptruck at the end of the day.

Ciao!

Yes. Neons are uglier than the econoboxes that came out in the 80s.

Everybody is entitle to their own aesthetic point of view. It is totally subjective and it has nothing to do with being superficial or not.

first of all, "it's ugly" isn't really an expression of an opinion, but an assertion. technically.

also, i could say "i think fat women are ugly and disgusting" or "i think george bush is an idiot" and though obviously an opinion, that could offend someone. the point is you know when you're expressing an opinion that will probably offend someone. calling something someone paid $20k for "ugly" probably doesn't make them feel very good. so i mean why even say stuff like that.

(not trying to be judgmental, cuz i've said stuff like that before. but it is kind of dumb.)

yea, and life sucks and isn't fair and all that.

So someone has spent $20k on an UGLY automobile. It still doesn't make it not ugly.

Well, yesterday I was driving home from the expressway and these two guys in a T-top camaro drive buy with their chrome rims spinning. They look at my CS perf. Z and laugh. I knew they weren't laughing at me because my windows are tinted, so I'm guessing they are actually pissed because their car got discontinued and I am driving a new non-rice 'japanese' sports car that would smoke their V6 piece of $hit and they new it.

Point being:

I will always think the neon looks ugly but that doesn't mean I don't respect it's performance, and I'm not going to point and laugh at a neon or it's driver because that is just ignorant and rude. But I can't change how I feel about 'the looks' of the car and stating an opinion on a 350z site is not meant to offend any neon owner.

Gunnar - They Foot on the brake and gas simultaneously is done when they gear down. This is done a lot easier on a bike but normally you:
Clutch in
Gear Down
Blip the gas
Clutch out

Now, since they're usually gearing down into a corner, they need to blip and brake at the same time. Watch again and it will make sense.
