if you can rent Deathwish III, its VHS only i think

lots of action movies involve fair fighting between the good/bad guys- but this dude just mows down unarmed men for petty crimes like theft and loitering.. its hilarious

at one point in a shoot out a guy drives by on a motorcycle, and somehow Bronson just knows hes one of the "creeps" and kills him haha

Can you guys do me a favor and keep an eye out for an FC in a junkyard so I can cut the entire 3rd brake light area from it to transfer it to my FB?

Thanks

There are 2 FC's in a salvage yard up in Madison. IIRC the rear body was in good shape on both.

If you would want to drive that far though...

The picture should be there, it's showing for me anyways.

I like the bike, very nice. I'm sure it's got some speed to it also. I knew you wanted a bike Steve but wasn't sure when you'd get one. Deathwish chariot indeed! lol

Basically I was looking for a nice 4 door car that had some nice options, **** like keyless entry, heated mirrors, stuff like that. I wanted something comfortable that people would appreciate and actually like riding in. I decided I wanted to go more of the Euro route because they tend to be more towards what I was looking for. This one has all the nice **** - power folding heated mirrors, keyless entry, LCD dash display, Audi S4 brakes, 4Motion, W8, decent sound system, and it looks and sounds mean. It's a car you can pack 4 people and all your luggage into and still have tons of room and be comfortable on a long trip. I wanted something that was more "adult," and unfortunately most Honda/Acura vehicles don't provide that feeling or have this kind of luxury and if they do, they'll end up being double what I paid for this. Also, it came from a friend that owned it for 5 years and took extremely good care of it with all the receipts, regular details and maintenance, and did all the right mods with the car. Insurance is cheap for it too, around 73 dollars a month for full coverage, and I haven't even hit 25 yet.

Yep, I guess I'm an old guy now and I like my luxuries. lol Is that why both you and E drive BMW's too? :P

Yes, I understand it's a VW and the whole concept of them being ****. lol It's a little different here, they actually invested some time and thought into the W8 model. :P

im sure Jason was just kidding, as he drives a big euro sedan also...


lol@ Steve not being a baller:

Audi, BMW,. Merc are all about same cost to buy/maintain really when you look into it. there is always gonna be some examples of huge money pits and other examples where they never needed anything done to them but that's true of any car.

Also if you say own a ford bronco that almost all the parts are dirt cheap for, but then it drinks gas at like 10 mpg you wont be any further ahead either... trust me!

Yea, I know he was kidding since he's driven a big Euro sedan also. :P I'm laughing with him, not trying to defend myself. lol

It's nice to have something comfortable. Today a few of us in the shop went out for lunch. Had 4 auto techs packed into the car with plenty of room to spare and they all enjoyed riding in the car. I was happy. On the A4 - which one? 1.8T? 2.8 V6? I myself love the 1.8T. You can get so much power out of it so easily. My friend has a 1.8T Jetta with exhaust, intake, and reflash and it's very very quick.

I'm not baller enough for a BMW yet either. :P

I know J was just kidding. I was too!

If I was to go back to a Audi it would be the 1.8t with a manual. I probably won't go back I'll just stick with the subaru. They are cheap to fix and parts are easy as **** to get.

I could have a BMW if I wanted to but they aren't that fast so...

I personally would like a little more hating.

The Iowa thread hasn't been nearly as Violent or drama filled as it used to be.

Some might argue that this is a good thing.... I say they are sissies.

- Steve go pick a fight with someone from the forsale section and bring them into the Iowa thread.

We need a good ole fashion thrash'n

Someone needs to open up their heart and let the hate out.
