The Glade 4.0

ohhh.. shiny lights...

/sneakyvoice under car neons are gorgeous on lifted trucks...

That might be nice too. I'd have to have them tucked properly though. Visible tubes are tacky

I always thought under-car neon lights looked like a retarded driver, personally.

@ Arafys:

Yeah yeah :p

Just not a fan of bigass rims For me, the bling has to be functional. Or at least have the appearance of functional. Also, you can't put 33" tires on 22" rims.

As Marilyn so sexily cooed in a song... Diamonds are a girl's best friend...

"Wheelies"? We call them "donuts", Stateside. Wheelies are what you do on a bike or motorcycle, where you pop the front wheel in the air and ride along on the back wheel for as long as you can hold it up.

It was a yearly early-winter ritual, where I grew up, to go do donuts in an empty parking lot after the first snow. It was actually kind of instructive, too - refreshed your memory as to how to get control of the car when you'd start to slide.

Yea. I firmly believe everybody should, in a safe location, purposefully make their car spin out to help them learn the car.

This. Everyone should get in a powerful SUV and weave their way around trees and rocks as fast and as hard as they can. In 2hi, 4hi, and 4lo, with the traction control off. Its just that much fun

On a more serious note:

Learning the characteristics of your vehicle, traction limits, braking distances, acceleration profile (0-60, and passing gears), all makes you a better driver. If you know what your vehicle can (and can't!) do, you're more likely to be able to complete maneuvers when driving on slick roads, passing, making emergency lane changes, braking hard. Knowing you can stomp on the gas to get around someone without breaking the rear tires loose can be useful. It minimizes your exposure in a passing lane, etc. I know I can fling my truck around a corner if I have to, and it won't slide on dry pavement. I know how hard I have to press the brakes to make an emergency stop, I know how the ABS feels, where it activates, I know where my TC activates, and how it behaves. I know the transmission lags a little in downshifting, so I get on the gas *before* I pull out to pass... etc.

And now I know a little more about how it performs in foot deep mud

Lydiaa is a truck monster freak? Who would have thought it.

Ever worked as a bleach girl at a race? It has nothing to do with your hair.

i'm not a truck monster freak per se..

I'm a power lover when it comes to cars... i currently drive a 2.2L turboed little rice rocket.. and I love it...

Not sure what a bleach girl is, but I've waved and dropped my panties (literally) to start a street drag before... WAY before.. like 8 years ago before my wild streak got caught by my responsibility nazi side.

The bleach girl's job is to pour bleach over and around the rear tires on drag cars so they get that really smoking look when the race starts. Usually they are dressed in outfits that would make Daisy Duke blush.

No I'm usually more the asian arm candy.. i mean I wouldn't want to break a nail or anything hhehhe >=D

Plus I use to weigh less than 100 pounds.. if I tried to fulfill that role now, at 130 pounds, i'd be weighing down the car... haha >=D

ok Kate! How about you and I take Riov down! No doubt in my mind we could do it! /wink especially if all it takes is to pin him before he crys "uncle"

_______draws a line in the sand..

Then Kate and I get to drive Arafys's Avalanche to the Walmart and see just how muddy we can get!

I've seen Riovs pics. We could take him down in no time. Good warmup for the main course: Moose! It might take us a few minutes to pin Arafys down!
Man, Kirra what I wouldn't give to get you and me and Lydiaa together....we would have a blast! I'm going to start saving money for a trip to Australia.

Once i get furniture readied i should have 2 extra beds, and a wall full of nice aussie white and reds... there's not really a lot of mud here, but i'm sure we can figure something out...

Personally i dont think you need to pin mus down.. just get Kira to give mus a sweet yet sexy look, hold up the ropes and ask him to lay down for her...
