better hope motorex don't sell you this GT-R

[themadscientist]

I am coming home yesterday in the lil woman's 180sx from junkyard hopping and I pull up behind an R32 GT-R at a light. This car looks tired! bald tires, old sagging muffler, broken "R" badge just really sad. Well the 180 has crazy oil leaks a slipping clutch and a lot of street has passed under the tires since Nissan built it, I figure if ever there was an R I could catch it's this one.The light goes green and he pulls away with some smoke out the muffler and when he sees me trying to get out from behind the car in front of me to catch him. He has a four car lenth lead when I wiggle out from behind the old lady and plant the Go pedal. Now here is where I am shocked, I actually start to close the gap, I am reeling in a GT-R! We have to hop on the binders for road construction and now I am right behind him. I smell blood now and I throw caution to the wind(this is my ride to work) He gets stuck behind a truck with a bus to his right, I wait two car-lengths back. I see him just about to clear the bus and I jump on it and come up fast and grab a handful of third up on his bumper threading the gap into the right lane. I am choking on black smoke a foot off his muffler as the left opens up. I dive over and start stepping up next to him, looking over the look on his face confirms it, this is all he's got. I yank into fourth and the gap widens until he just gives up. I almost felt guilty, like a young street punk beating up a twiching Mohammad Ali on a street corner.Now all guys reaching for the "reply" button to scream B.S. It happened, it was sad don't waste your time trying to start something. I pass on this little story for several reasons that it proves true;

It's funny if not a little sad, if this particular car was a horse I would shoot it out of mercy

Just because it's car"X" maens nothing. Just because there are so many fast anything doesn't mean they all are, fear no car.

Just because it's a running anything doesn't mean you can pull it off the back of a UPS truck, slam it in your 240 and rule the street. Who knows, in six months this car could be junked, in seven months the engine could be in a container bought, paid for and bound for your doorstep, get it?

BS no just kidding. I belive you. Really, I do.

Makes you feel sad when a great icon falls victim to a vulture.LOL

[themadscientist]

I have been called that before, my freinds joke that I circle broken cars like a vulture waiting to pick parts off like meat scraps.

[JESTER]

You gotta do what works.

Good story!

What I do not understand is, of the few GT-Rs that I've seen (here in the land of the maple leaf... and beaver, we don't see these cars often), all are in pretty poor condition.

For more than 70 grand US, one would imagine the owner to be able to afford maintenance bills. I recently saw a blue R34 from Seattle that graced Vancouverites with its participation in a local car show. It had chipped and cracked side skirts; a lot of the useless carbon fiber-ish decorations (license plate holders, rear brake light covers, etc) were poorly fitted and held on by double-folded transparent tapes.

Very sad.

Nice kill.... damn, I've only seen like 2 GT-R's around here, and one was at a car shop. haha.

Yup, here in Minnesota I have only seen one on the street. It is an r33 and it looked like it has been crashed and salvaged. The front end has different colored body panels and the rear half of the car was pretty dinged up. I would say that many people going the shady way (not through Motorex) are putting together some pretty s**tty cars. I have never seen what Motorex imports but they have to be better than that car.

Who would buy a car from Japan in Two halves and piece them together knowing that there is no cheap way to legalize it afterwards? I guess they have bigger balls than me. Well maybe if it was just for show... No, that is just stupid.

[s14=pimpin']

you're a bully mad man, hold your head down in shame for violating a poor GT-R like that. I'm sure in her fighting days, her kill list would make yours look like Martha Stewarts bridge club!!

j/k, a kill is a kill!

[JESTER]

True, true. A kill is a kill.

[Daunttless]

Did you just say bully mad? Leave it to a canuck...

[UncleBen]

LOL

[Cold_Zero]

My question is, what do old women drive in other countries? Specifically Japan. Here they drive pristine 15 year old Chevy Caprice Classics and Ford LTD's. Nothing like getting smoked in your rusted out 4 banger by Granny in her V-8. Man that sounded bad. I miss my Caprice Classic.Later

[Onizuka]

better being smoked by a granny than by a ricer. thank god it has never happend to me:D

Im like mad, i go for the easy ricer kills. The one time i was beaten was by a mustang. A MUSTANG!!!!!! i wanted to cry.

Ill beat that silver GT when i get my sr20 from daunt if he EVER GETS OF HIS LAZY A$$ AND GETS ANOTHER SHIPMENT TOGETHER! jus kiddin. :icesangel
