Who cares about buildiing a reputation over a UBB? Anyone who would cares entirely too much about a UBB.




Also, directed at the other poster, it's gay to own a convertable in Florida?

JDM fanboys, this just in from California: the JDM craze is over. JDM parts are so common over there, they aren't even mentioned. The new style is VIP, so start saving for your used Lexus and chrome wheels with stretched tires.

Parts are parts. Personally, I wouldn't care if they came from the Kenyan domestic market. If it visually suits me or functions better than something else, then that's what I'll get. The only time I even use the term "JDM" is to keep from having to say "came off a car in Japan" or "only available in Japan". I just put some candian OEM parts in my car. Too bad there isn't a commonly used acronym for that. People just want their cars to look different. What better way to get parts that have OEM fitment than to get an overseas OEM part? I think people tend to look more closely at Japan because the other major car market (europe) doesn't share many cars with the States.

I think a lot of domestic people don't understand the JDM thing because most US cars don't even exist outside the states. There aren't any unique parts being built for those cars overseas. I would like to see a GTO with Holden Monaro parts, Mate.


Dionysus was the illegitimate son of Zeus and was later killed by the Titans because of it. Way to go on the name selection, dude.

Glad to see some brain life on these boards! He was also the god of wine.



Your post sums up what I was saying (plus some additional info), but in a nice way that the thin-skinned kids can understand.

Right...because reputation points is what I said

Regular reputation, not reputation points. Very big difference.

not sure if that was directed towards me, but I've yet to flame anyone (which isn't easy to do on this board)....if it was directed towards me, you're a fucking hypocrite cuse you're doing the same damn thing....but I guess that doesn't matter when you're "upper management".

if it wasn't, I shall now insert my foot into mouth and apologize
