    Angry

    it not about street racing, cuz i'm not in to it, cuz i don't have a street racer, i'm just talking about every once in a while there is kook that wants to test you and u just simply see its safe enough to try it, thats all, i'm preety sure plenty here have done it, cuz the VX is not the commen suv. but what ever, and thanks erland for knowing what i mean. I guess i have to do some mods and sell them to get the peoples here attention, or maybe start giving away free stuff like superchargers, maybe that will get poeple to like me...... whatever i joined here to get to know the community of VXers and *****, but some people give some nasty comments at times, and at other peoples threads that i have found. Well guess i'll just check every once in a while to see new "MODS", but i'm out later guys, good trying to know u all.

    I actually did the other day, but it was with my buddy on the familiar street leading right to his house. He was in his M3 so guess what happened...
    It was by no means street racing though, we got off the freeway and I did my best to stay in front of him. It was over in seconds, and I didn't get ridiculous for fear of the obvious (crash/cops), just one of those fun, spontaneous moments with a buddy.
    RallyX is more my taste: (me & my 99 RS)

    As far as with strangers "testing me", I could care less and I think the majority (not all) of VXers ON THIS FORUM (not all) feel the same.
    I feel out of place sometimes too on threads dealing with certain parts or off-roading topics, as I'm not much of a wrench or into off-roading.
    However, there have also been plenty of topics I've been a part of or have redeemed very much help from.

    whatever i joined here to get to know the community of VXers and *****, but some people give some nasty comments at times, and at other peoples threads that i have found. Well guess i'll just check every once in a while to see new "MODS", but i'm out later guys, good trying to know u all.
    And yes, there seems to be a core of VXers on this site that seem to do the majority of the talk, but that's because they've owned their VXs for years, a lot are original owners, and have been on this forum since it's creation. They've been through certain topics over and over again, while it might be the first time a lot of others see them.
    I rarely see any immature comments from the veteran members here, and I don't neccessarily see any towards you on this thread, but if you feel differently, you're entitled.

    I was excited to join and it's good to see more/new members here for the more knowledge,experience, etc. the better, but if it's not your taste or you don't appreciate the responses, you gotta do what you gotta do.

    I haven't really seen many negative posts on here at all since I joined. There may be some things that people "have their own opinions/likes/dislikes", but that doesn't mean they're trying to be nasty or elitist, or discourage you, it may just mean they have a different viewpoint. I would personally hate to see you quit coming here Costiecosta, I have been following your "Rallyization" of the VX and personally think you have done a great job so far. I think I am correct in assuming you got your VX right around the same time I got mine, and like you I love to mod stuff and post about it. I have also got some lackluster and discouraging responses sometimes, but also a lot of positive reinforcement and help. Just take the good, leave the bad and enjoy the obsession

    Yeah I have been watching your rally thread. I like where your taking your VX.

    I just have not raced many people since I lifted it. I dont want to be let down becuase of the power that was lost per inch of lift.

    Keep your head up bro, your time will come around. Im new here too just got mine in Sept 06.

    i tend to lose alot but the funniest win is against a celica gt *corolla engine. it was on a up hill stretch of freeway. he at first was behind me, and decided to throw it into the slow lane then gunned it. i guess he was tryin to pass me, so i gave it soem gas and blocked him. he ended up getting behind me flashing me then switched lanes again, this time i let him get maybe 1 car length ahead before i floored it. passed him wiht ease, then i messed with him. i would slow down to 55 let him get next to me, then i would floor it going to something like 85, then 45 let him pass then 85. did tat probably 5 times before he honked at me. i laffed, threw it back on cruise control and watched him slowly fly-by me and turn on his hazards. good times good times.....

    Talking

    I don't "race" much in my VX, with the gas prices and the god forsaken Vegas traffic and a 17mile commute... well you get the picture...

    Buuuut, I did try taking on... I think it was a late model Frontier. The guy just wouldn't leave me alone on the freeway. (pulls up next to you and gases, then slows back down next to you, then gases up again type of deal) Lets just say after awhile, I could't stay up front.

    [thinking to self]
    Wish Morgen-Tech was still around for that S/C kit +intake and exhaust =(
    [/thinking to self]

    BTW Costie, Stick around, this place isn't all that bad. Alot of them chime in to help when needed and some come in and out with there own opinions (which happens in any convo/chat).

    Thumbs up

    Hey dude, as with all forums, you should never take anything to heart. Its a great forum, imho, and VASTLY superior (in both content and participants) to any other forum I have been on.

    95% of all web forums are chock full of idiots who endlessly bicker and act like its a freaking high school popularity contest. This forum however, is 95% devoid of that BS, which is why I love it.

    I comment a lot on here, but like many others, only on threads that I feel compelled to comment on. There are PLENTY of threads that I don't even look at, and it never has anything to do with who I know and who I don't know.

    So chin up man! We are all with ya!

    PS - Trying to think back, once in Chicago I was going west on Lake street and this douchebag got next to me at a red light, obviously he wanted to speed past and get in front of me in his car (can't remember what it was, maybe an 80s Camaro). Needless to say, I pushed the POWER button and didn't let it happen. He was surprised to see my little black jumping spider spring at the green.

    I beat an Audi S4 in the snow while yelling "Wheres your Quattro now Bitch!!" out my window . . .

    Thats the most memorable.
