I do put it in gear!! lol I start in first all the time..so this high idle thing is pissing me off... *yeah, my cars a manual...wouldn't have nothin else!!* it's just kinda disturbing when your scraping windows and your car does it..cause its like..hmm..do i hit the gas pedal and kick that down? or let it go..usually i let it go cause i'm late, lol...

I have a 97 mustang. It's cherry red, but i hate driving and i hate cars. But since I'm planning on going to college far away I won't have car next year because my parents aren't willing to give me a car unless I go to school in Cali.

you hate cars?!?!?!?! thats so sad.

That is rather depressing...

Though, I suppose I understand it somewhat. If she lives in the city where it's next to impossible to drive anywhere anyways, plus all those expenses, gas, insurance, etc etc...

I still love cars though. Next to a man, they can make me wet myself the fastest.

Xxx-SIN-xxX

ditto sini..ditto...its funny..guys aren't used to a girl who likes cars...like muscle cars and such..its nice

my girlfriend autox's so i'm kind of used to it.

Here's some advice from an old school mechanic in California. (I build more than I race these days)
All car's have a "Red Line" although the manufacturer may not have actually painted the numbers red. If your car is stock, see how high the RPM gauge goes. Count one number back and that's a "rough" red-line for you. So, if your RPM maxes out at 8, you can be sure that between 7 and 8 is in the "red line" zone. Unless you are a motorhead, or have someone that does a lot of work on your car you really don't want to "red line" it very often. If an engine isn't taken care of, the re can be a lot of internal damage from the heat endured through "red lining" At 8, that means your motor is completing 8,000 revolutions per minute that can create a lot of friction (heat)! Most cars rev up between 1500 and 2000 for their high idle and then drop down to 600-1000 depending on manufacturers specification. Older cars that are carb equipped you can punch the accelerator with your foot once to try to manually kick the idle down. If you try too early, it won't as it the vaccuum needs to build up before it will kick the carb down a step.

well a car is a necessity here because los angeles has a horrible public transit system, i definitely hate or well...dislike them them because i think it'd be much more convenient to do other things with my time rather than driving, i mean i spent 30 minutes to and from school and another hour for after school classes, and i guess i'd rather spend that time doing something else, reading, writing, anything else really. and i'd much rather walk somewhere if i could, but it's not safe enough or possible to do that without walking for HOURS to get somewhere you wanna go around here, so i'm stuck with it. the horrible pollution and horrid drivers on these streets don't help either... but all in all they just don't float my boat.

thats true. la has the most bottlenecks. but then again, everyone wants to stay there.

i have a white 92 grand prix LE with two missing rear hub caps and a nice new cd/mp3/wma player.

buy some blinger 5 star hubcaps.

I own a Hyundai Accent gsi 2004 model, silver colour, and it has a spoiler, and a moon roof, and it is a hatch back... I love my car, I spend about 20$ canadian on gas per week, and in August I get the 2005 model... YAY FOR ME

Riced out Neon (It's actually pretty nice)
95 Chevy Blazer
and a non-running 86 RX7 and 84 Thunderbird


My pop's has a bad ass 2002 Z-06 and a 70-something Boss Mustang, both MINT. He won't even let me touch them, though.

thats because you'll tackle a mailbox or spill some rice on them.

Oddly, that's what he said.

we own a charcoal grey (black) Nissan 300zx

turbo?

Edit.

*I had posted a picture of the Boss and then realized it had my dad's full name and address. Thought maybe that wasn't a great idea...*

why not... it's not like we'd kill him or anything. maybe use him to stalk YOU, but...
