Yeah, well, Americans have a very different car philosophy compared to the rest of the world. For one thing, they get their power from huge engines. For example, Sergio's Mustang gets it's 215 hp from 4.0 litres, or roughly 54 hp per litre, while, for example, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi gets 350 hp from 2.5 litres, or 140 hp per litre. The Dodge Viper gets it's 500 hp from an 8.3 (yes 8.3!!! litre V10 engine), while the BMW M5 get's it's 507 hp from a 5.0 litre V10 engine. Thats 60 hp per litre compared to a bit over 101 per litre.

BTW, the BMW 5.0 V10 engine was named international engine of the year by a panel of journalists from all over the world, a very important award in the world of engine manufacturers. And BTW, BMW got 6 (yes, 6) awards for it's engines this year. In addition to the main award of Engine of the year, they got:

- V10 5.0-litre engine in the M5/M6: Best New Engine 2005
- V10 5.0-litre engine in the M5/M6: Best Performance Engine 2005
- V10 5.0-litre engine in the M5/M6: Winner in the class exceeding 4.0 litres
- 3.0-litre 535d Variable TwinTurbo-Diesel: Winner in the class 2.5 to 3.0 litres
- 3.2-litre six cylinder engine in the M3: Winner in the class 3.0 to 4.0 litres.


thanks for the mechanical update :D

Some of you may remember what I looked like 19 months ago.


So, here we go.

Dont avoid the first question biatch.
I'm too cute to be on the Sopranos.

Now, if I could've hooked up with that chick that got killed at the end of last season, then I might have made a cameo

Of course it hasn't.
Afghanistan and Iraq never were invaded.
And you were right about Vietnam too.
But it's all about destroying cruel dictators right?
Mostly dictators that were put there by America.

It's not like there are any economical factors or electoral factors that are important here. We shouldn't question America's ethics, now should we?

Thank you, America, for protecting us from ourselves.
Again, I cannot take this poster serious when he made a mockery out of 9/11. I just can't.

For all my country does for your favorite "children of Africa," you should be a bit thankful. Or was that just a ploy of your's as usual and you don't really give two shits now do you?

Congrats on the car Serge.

And thanks for almost singlehandedly keeping Ford out of the same financial basket as GM.

Although I'm skeptical of the stick.

And you look much different than I pictured you, dude.

Thats a discusting attitude. That sick sense of entitlement, that someone should be thankful to you because of that. Thats some stupid shit.

Do I know you?


Seven knows what I am talking about, while you are in the dark (again). The "discusting" attitude was purposely presented but not at all my serious demeanor.

In all seriousness though, do you know how much we aid Africa?

Im not in the dark.

I know Seven flustered you by making a 'mockery' out of 911 but making a reference to african children. Thats his opinion, live with it.

It isnt the first time you have had that attitude on here, and you certainly arent alone with it. Not as much an attack on you as it was a general statement. I completely hate that thinking, its rich among the English also.

Dont always try to belittle my posts by claiming I dont get it or im in the dark. I think I have you pretty figured out and to be honest, your the most predictable member on this board.

And yeah, I think you know me.

Yes Emma, you know me like a best friend, don't you.

If you think I don't really care for children in Africa or others in poverty-stricken areas of the world, I'm afraid you are terribly wrong. If you think I only care about those who live in poverty just because I can use it as an argument to defend my country, I'm afraid you're even more off the mark. I am just not fond of those who make imbecilic statements about my country when in reality he should at least (at least) acknowledge the good that we have done for his' most important issue in today's world instead of completely throwing shit our way for absolutely everything. But no, we supposedly "bring terrorist attacks upon ourselves because we are 'afraid'" or whatever complete nonsense he posted towards Vinni.

I know not too many are fond of our country, and that is seen time and time again on this forum. Whenever something that remotely has to do with America comes up, it becomes a "bash the USA" expedition, like we haven't seen it before. And like we haven't heard it all before, too. Whenever somebody writes complete nonsense about our country nobody seems to care, yet if I or any other American would say something about another country we would get blasted from all angles. I have seen it too many times and please, don't tell me this nonchalant attitdude doesn't exist. Sure, we have done our unfair share of shit in the world, especially Iraq, but so has our neighbors across the big pond to my 3 o'clock. In the end, and IMO, the good outweighs the bad, and from what I have seen 99% of the talk around here is the bad, "America the ignorant."

It even stretches out to our only ally, England, in which they recieve too much shit as well for what they have done in the world. We have heard it all before, and we don't need to hear it again. We don't need supposed "negative self proclaimed experts" telling us what we have done wrong or what they think we have done wrong, because most of the time "I think" ends up being totally biased and blown out of proportion. People do have the right to think whatever they want, but sometimes you wonder if they really know what they're talking about. You could fill a whole goddamn hard drive documenting the BS posts about America in this forum.

And please, if you want to bash something because of this post, bash me. We don't need "America has done this and that" all over again.

Did I say that?

I was talking about the attitude of your post. Not even specific to this discussion. Just that general sense of entitlement really fvcks me off. Like a smoker who flicks his cigeratte for someone else to pick up. I dont expect you to get it, you never do.

You are either incredibly simple or assume I am. You seem to miss it every time.

I cant even be arsed talking about the 'good'. If you are happy with that, great. But that dosent alter the fact that its pretty pathetic in the whole scheme of things, same with Britain before you start *****ing. I would consider it more embarassing than anything to be honest, certainly a long way off being something to gloat about.

Hate Azzurri as much as you want, that dosent alter the fact that he makes some good points and it would be nice to see you challenge them with fact. You never have. When talking about America you always just ***** about half truths and cry out.

Again you bring up the other crap, get over it. Or are you trying to cover the fact you dont know what the hell you are even talking about?
