2 kids throwing football in parking lot

Two young african american gentlemen are throwing a football right in front of my car. This really annoys me.
Maybe its because the last car I had was dented by some white trash rednecks throwing a football. They laughed about it and ran off. Something tells me these kids would do the same.
Why the fuck do people do that sort of shit? 'Lets play football in a parking lot during rush hour'. Fucking morons.
If they dent my 300ZX, shots will be fired.

no, its not a twin turbo. Just a completely stock 300 with an auto transmission. I'm not a racer, I'm just a pimp.

Nice!
I'm still not sure what my next car is going to be. I used to be certain I wanted a 240sx s14 with a sr20 drop, but due to harsher smog checks I think it's not going to work.

you get more benefit from a car in good condition than a car that gets ragged on and is constantly in the shop. I like to own a car, not let the car own me Everyone I know that tunes their car its like they might as well be heroin addicts, cuz thats where all their money goes.
I'll keep mine slow and reliable. Oh yeah, and shifting gears is beneath me.

when I bought the car, it was a piece of shit with a nice engine/transmission....but still a supra, ya know? The owner just hadn't taken care of it. I did a ton of shit to it...greddy exhaust/headers etc, redid the interior...put a ton of money in to it, but all the labor was free and a ton of the parts were discounted because my grandfather owned a body/engine shop and knew a ton of people.

Well, when I first bought it and started doing work to it, my brother was applying to schools that may have been out of our families price range...I told him if he got in to his top choice (Harvard) I'd sell the car and give him money towards college.
He got in.
I kicked myself for like a week, sold the car to a fucking guy buying it for his son who was like 17...I bet he wrapped it around a pole in less than a week

After Fast and the Furious came out, the price sky rocketed. A Supra with under 80k miles will run you 40k or so. It's insane.

I sold mine for a little over 50k...had real low mileage, and a ton of work under the hood.
Lemme see that picture of your cars again?

Aint my cars, they're my friends. I owned the beamer for a bit, my friend sold me it cheap and said I would pay the difference if I wanted it. It was too heavy for my liking so I sold it back. The ws6 and STi aren't mine, though I wish the STi was mine.

I think if a buy another impractical car some day it will be an RX7. I know the old rotaries have a lot of problems, but fuck are they nice.

I looked into those but opted out because they only come in manual. nice cars though.

yeah, for sure. they shouldn't be owned by people that don't know how to do work on cars themselves, or know someone who can help them out, or they're going to spend a shitload on labor.

no, neither have I...I'd do a ton of research before I bought one and ask my grandfather to teach me how to do osme general work on them. With my luck though, I'd buy one and the engine block would fall out after a week

They are easier to work with than piston engines because of their simplicity and the fact that all the pieces are much lighter and less strenuous.
