    5 grand is not nearly enough money to degrade myself for a bunch of hormonally overloaded twats who think slapping some stickers and a 4-inch tailpipe on a Honda Civic with a mismatched paint job allows them even a vague shot at racing and/or f@#king me. Seriously, where do these girls come from?

    @JaguarChick: You'd be amazed.


    My little red Volkswagen seems to attract every 17- and 18-yr-old floozie for miles around. Would have been great when I was close to their age. Now that I'm closing in on 30, I just want them all to go away. So maybe the fart-can muffler and stickers actually accomplishes something after all.


    Besides earning my ridicule, I mean.

    This is totally out of line with the The Fast and The Furious franchise stands for.


    I can't believe the producers of the film would allow it to be marketed in such a way.

    "Ironically, the tagline for the new film is "New Model. Original Parts." A quick scan through the photos shows a lot of fake parts."


    I believe the term you are looking for is "aftermarket parts"

    Or, better yet, to steal a line from Porsche, "previously enjoyed".

    I watch that first movie in complete awe of how many gears the cars had and how they just kept going faster every time they shifted. Some of those cars had 15-20 gears by my estimation.

    And by "Wrench", I obviously mean "Penis".

    I would kill to see Murilee in this contest. Seriously. Send a list.


    Otherwise I'm not going anywhere near that clickbait.


    Of course, the girls might be the fastest thing about that movie. Just sayin'.

    When I first saw "model competition," my first thought was of the Revell, rather than Revlon, variety. I really should've known better.

    Every time I think I'm making progress in my quest to convince intelligent, attractive girls that being a "car guy" doesn't mean I'm a meathead, something like this comes out. Sigh.

    @cq: I think we have a few Jalops in Nawlins. Although... I can't guarantee they're "decent-looking". Or... not an alcoholic. Considering how much the "breakfast scotch" meme has spread through Jalopnik...

    I live a couple of blocks from where strolling player works, as well - we keep finding the same cars.
