The M badge, yes thats pretty damn lame. But I think removing them altogether makes it look pretty clean and sleek. Some do it purely for aesthetics.

Dunno about 325's, but a lot of the guys on miata.net debadge their car. They sure aren't doing it to fool anyone into thinking they are driving something else than a miata. It just looks cluttered with all three badges.

I am not saying that they're trying to hide that they're driving a 3-series, but trying to hide that they're driving a low end 3-series with 5-10k in aftermarket bullshit slapped on after the fact.

The "clean" argument I guess I can agree with to some extent, except for the fact that you almost NEVER see a 330 or 335 without a rear badge, and they're almost always a 318, 323, 325, 328 or whatever.

Lejina Bloodbath · 07-06-2009, 01:19 PM

Yeah, different crowds too. Most miata drivers couldn't give a shit less what others think of their ride, if they were this self conscious they wouldn't be driving a miata in the first place, whereas I figure many upper series BMW driver actually want people to know what they are driving heh.

Read: Eomer has a tiny dick and tries to make up for it via his car.

Real men drive big, honkin trucks, and run over queers and furry animals with them.

See I plan on keeping my car for quite away, and turboing or supering it sometime to make it reasonably quick.

And also gay!

fixed for you

I don't even know if I've paid enough attention to the cock waving to gather what exactly you drive other than some kind of Scion, and I've got no knowledge about most Asian imports. But your car is FWD, I gather. Anyone who spends a single cent on performance mods for a FWD car needs to be slapped. Sorry :/.

Just because a car isn't good in a straight line doesn't mean it isn't a quick car.

Eomer · 07-06-2009, 05:47 PM

What does it mean if it's even shittier in a curved line because the front wheels are doing everything? Not trying to be an asshole here, but claiming your car is "quick" when it's FWD is pretty laughable.

I think he means quick compared to minivans.

Neuad · 07-06-2009, 06:01 PM

Shrug whatever you say bro, I've watched a tC run mid 13's on street tires with a full interior, and a system in the trunk. . .on 8psi. Stock engine.

Oh and also a shitty little cobalt SS. . .FWD 'tuner'. . .can beat stock evo9s(I think it was a 9 atleast). . .AWD tuners.

No offense but how many Eclipses came with the turbo to make this relevant. Not many. And even fewer came equipped with the AWD to actually put the power down.

Is this supposed to be ironic or are you just this dumb?

Neuad · 07-06-2009, 08:16 PM

the cobalt vs evo happened on a track, not dragging.

The times on the tC I watched at the track near me were just to counter his claim about how much work one needed to get near 13s
