Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

this is annoying

 

and it never clears up until I’m almost at work lol (literally 20 minutes later despite highway speeds)

 

 

also @chaozbandit considering this was a no-work point and shoot, this camera on this phone is pretty good lol

Maybe some anti-fog lens cleaner would work? Does wonders for my glasses anyway.

Would Invisible Glass anti-fog work on mirrors?

 

LG's laser autofocus is pretty good, especially with a rom that uses V20 firmware (fulmics)

Idk. Maybe it would? I guess I should try it

I'm surprised no one around here has bought a McLaren... there is one guy I know of who has a MP4-12C but that's it... and he probably bought it somewhat recently now that they are kinda cheapish (but repair bills... I hope he knows lol)
 

I see way more lamborghini's/ferraris/NSX's than anything else around here...ohh and I have seen an SLS once. if that counts

 

People who visit my zip code wonder where such expensive cars come from. There are million dollar+ houses tucked away uphill if you know where to look.  

 

I've seen some local BMW i8's too besides Lamborghini's and Ferrari's, a black/red and black/blue one so far.

 

Anything AMG gets me happy.

Most of the expensive cars over here are in the valley owned buy the asian college students. There's quite a few people from the middle east that seem to like Mustangs/Corvettes and the Asians seem to be into GTRs. Only seen one McLaren tho.

Most of the people who own more expensive cars than your typical lexus or merc are white people. The asians and minorities typically drive your typical Lexus, Mercedes, etc. Though I have seen a black guy driving around in a Continental GT one time.

Its crazy the money the college students from overseas bring with them. Not all of them but about 30% of them i would say. At least here. 

Lucky bitches. I'd be happy if I am gonna be able to eat packets of ramen for lunch in college. money's already tight as it is. But if I start youtubing and become mildly famous maybe it can help me through it.

The county is called Rancho San Diego. Oh, forgot to mention. I saw a Continental Bentley, too. Convertible. Anything Bentley reminds me of Beverly Hills, lol. 

 

We have a large population of Chaldean's (Arabic turned Catholic folk), and a lot drive Mercedes and BMW's. I'll try not to be stereotypical here, but, some gain their money to afford such luxuries with questionable practices...it's a norm here that we locals silently rage about and not do shiet about it. Besides that, it's the same that white people have the more expensive cars.

Meal planning can make a proper diet quite cheap.

Ive never been a fan of fender mirrors

 

 

The R32 is certainly too new of a design for it to look good. IMO it only looks good on those really old cars that have them....  like the 2000GT

 

I've seen people do it to miatas... always thought it looked awful.

I forgot I can just buy a sack of potatoes for like 2 bucks and then stuff them with sour cream onions and cheese and call it a meal. That totally slipped my mind. Now i just need an induction cooker so i don't trigger fire alarms while cooking or kill ourselves with gas.

I keep thinking of La Jolla when I think of that area.

 

I actually know a youtuber who might live in that area who is arab and drives a rover and a lambo. he has around 6.6 mil subs and goes by Faze Rug. He is mad popular in that area apparently.
