TL goes down hard - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Nice wording. The point would have been better made without telling people to "grow the fuck up or shut the fuck up" because well people don't always like that, or react to it.

If what we were typing was so wrong, then I imagine that what you typed is equally wrong, because well we never told people to "grow the fuck up or shut the fuck up".

Not trying to be a smartass or start shit or anything but I just thought I'd point this out.

No, there's no hate over the kind of car. He could be driving a bentley and we'd have the same hate. The hate comes from the fact that he's being just another moron street racer. I've almost had my car hit several times from moron street racers and I personally have no patience for that breed of idiot. I'm all for racing and do it all the time myself - on the track, where it's supposed to be.

Does your mouth get lonely with only one foot in it? Perhaps you should stop before you swallow the whole leg. You've just admitted that, having raced for real, you should know better than racing on the street and yet you do it anyway. What exactly are we supposed to think of you now?

true, racing has no place on the street.

Here's a story on one of the recent accidents in Toronto involving morons and street racing.
http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/05/30...ce_crash040530

I just found this one from last night, another one from Toronto, it's been really bad there the last week,
http://www.canada.com/national/natio...a-c33a09209503

the best quote to describe street racers from the article IMO is from an OPP Sgt. Cam Wooley "It's the fast and the foolish, if you ask me."

Look at these numbers it a little disturbing

"Police estimate that there are more than 20,000 street racers in the Toronto area alone. A joint-force police operation uses high-tech scanners and helicopters equipped with thermal imaging and forward-looking infrared surveillance to catch them."

The TL is a luxury sedan?

You've obviously never sat in one.

Class: Entry level luxury-sport sedan.

I test drove one 3 weeks ago. Don't get me wrong, they made some nice improvements for sure. Nice ride,nice fit and finish. Luxury sedan I am not sure.

iamtheone · 06-06-2004, 05:11 PM

My thoughts on all the ricky racer cars out there, I don't care if this car can outrun that car with it's tin can exhuast pipes that sounds like a jazzed up lawn mower. I want class, style and performance. If it does not out-run everything on block, who cares.

This begs a question: What do YOU consider to be a luxury-performance sedan? I think the TL fits the description pretty well.

Don't take this the wrong way, the TL is a super nice ride. When i think of luxury sedans I "think" - Audi A8, BMW 5 and 7 series, Cadilliac CTS-V, Infiniti M45, etc.

Yo, I don't want to start a war here. The TL is a super nice, clean ride with nice fit and finish. They have made some nice improvments to this car. I would be happy to own one myself.

I think he is saying that he considers it a "Performance Compact" rather than a sedan. At least that was my interpretation.

It's a Sport Compact, 4 doors has nothing to do with it. not a performance sedan, at least in my opinion. A performance sedan is something that has a certain comfort level, much like the TL.

That was completely uncalled for. Thsi kind of insulting language is not appreciated or allowed.

Good show, you just made no sense whatsoever. I'm a tard because I know what a performance sedan is? The only person who seems to think the Neon is a performance sedan is you. Most normal people know this market of car as the sport compact car. I guess we must be the messed up ones.

Thanks MrSelfDestruct, you warning him kept me from getting myself in trouble, much appreciated.

Now as for my 22b swap, I don't think I owe the likes of you any explanation. Look it up, it's out there, maybe in a language that someone like you can understand.

another great job by c-dog81. Is the discussion about the car over? Was there ever even a discussion? Was it some guy trying to brag about his car and then suddenly realised that no one likes them? My vote is for the last answer

Halx · 06-08-2004, 12:36 PM

Ok enough you two.

Verdict? The public denounces street racing.
