the craziest thing is how ****ty that car is... paint jobs like that cost in the thousands of dollar range, chrome rims cost in the thousands of dollar range, and specialty tires cost in the thousands of dollar range for a set of 4 like that. What an awful idea. if you're gonna spend that kind of money, do it on a nice *** car. at least.

Kind of sad that this guy likes the way his ride is and thinks he is the shiite. Still in his peer group he is accepted and a bad ***. Other groups will see him as a fool or a thug stereotypical of what you wil see in Gansta Rap and Hip Hop today...
Still back in the day you would see the same done to Vans and also Ford Pintos and AMC Gremlins. So to say that this is something new is in error.
Radical paint jobs and big shiny wheels are nothing new under the sun and not exclusively black oriented...
Look back at the hot rod generation many years ago.
You see that with the tuner generation. Custom cycles, etc etc...
How he spends his money on his ride is his business. He has it to spend and it is his choice. Others may or may not spend in other ways.

IM BLACK.
and while that statement is offensive and prejudicial (ie we all act the same way, speak the same way and so on. thats prejudice. im an individual.) there are elements of truth to many prejudicial statements that dont speak to character, intellect, and so on. saying black people are stupid is not only way beyond dumb and prejudicial but speaks to your character as a human being. saying black people love chicken/ big booty/ gold teeth etc, things that are true for part (sometimes large (every brotha loves that chicken!) sometimes small) is often just a way of characterising someone or something and not always in a harmful way. not all dogs shed hair. in fact, not all dogs bark, theres a breed that yelps. not all snakes are venonous. etc etc etc. theres is truth to sayin dogs bark. snakes can kill you. etc.
so IM NOT offended.
damn i can be longwinded.

, is not because American sedans with big a$$ chrome wheels that give it a 4x4 look are popular with black people - it's because his statement said to me that he thinks "only a black guy would be stupid enough to have a POS like that."

I'm Christian and I still get those lame jokes...it's NOT geared towards Muslims because that means you assume the idiots in North America can distinguish non-muslim arabs from muslim arabs. Hell, they can't usually tell their a$$ from their elbow...try not to give them THAT kind of credit.

Some F A Q. You guys crack me up.
I would like to see a sticky on good places to buy stuff with comments from people that bought there.
I come here because you guys (for the most part) know best how a 124 should look.
And I hope you'll concentrate on that.
Although I got a big kick from the guy with the twin turbos on his 103.
Hey, has anybody replaced their 103 with a 5L V8?
