*insert witty comment here*

I brake for AV girls

[chitownguy]

TMS how can I be as cool as you?

[themadscientist]

Be a guy others dislike and one day stop giving a **** and do your own thing.

[chitownguy]

I dont understand that at all but OK

[themadscientist]

Well it's simple. Popularity is important to many people. popularity is based on doing mostly what the crowd you wish to be popular with is doing. Being popular is fine but it is very easy to become a trend follower in the pursuit of popularity and supress your creativity and ownership of your decisions and consequently your life. I gave up years ago trying to please other people and do what they thought was cool. I have my own style and I really don't give a dam what people think. Once you get to that point it is easy to explore stylistic and personal potential possibilities because there is no detriment if you try something and it fails because you are not trying to impress anybody. If people enjoy what I do I like that, don't get me wrong but if they don't it has no effect on me. I think you will find that most people with personal charisma tend to do what they feel is best for them and most people gravitate to that. They don't follow trends they set them. This is why it bugs me when people hate on other's style. Style is not measurable or comparable, it's a personal thing but people bag on others likes as if it was quantifiable. That really says a lot about the attacker. Most people that religiously follow trends are lemmings that could not function without the visible boundries of whatever style their chosen group has decided by concensus or by leadership guidance is "cool". If one does not care about such intangibles it would be like adding a whole new direction to pursue, like going from radio to TV. This is how I drive pink Skylines and have Alan Jackson in my CD changer next to Public Enemy, Rammstien and Kodo. I do what I want whenever the hell I want to do it and it feels great! Three years after the fact my co-workers are still talking about the company party that I rolled into wearing a pirate shirt. White cotton with ruffles and crap. I had to listen to "lord of the dance" references but I don't care, I don't take myself seriously at all. I have a faux suede fur-lined pimp coat ready for this year

I remember a pivotal conversation in High School with some jock when he said. "everybody hates you"I said "not really but everyone knows me". "ten years from now people will still be talking about me but nobody will remember you at all"

That is what I like but again, that's my thing. I don't hate on others for doing thiers. Well maybe Jeffery Dalmer. He should not do his own thing.

OWNED!

[Mr1der]

TMS is right.

he wears weightlifting pants and snowboots.

before it was cool.

[themadscientist]

I don't think that was ever cool. I once raced in my smilee face jammies with the missing button so my crank kept saying "hello" as I was talking to people at the convenience store afterwards. "is there a draft? whoops sorry bout that"

[Mr1der]

seriously, how many times have you been to jail on accident?

[themadscientist]

never, only on purpose

[Logan76]

And how many times is that? :P

[themadscientist]

Actually I am lucky I guess, never been in the pokey. Stared down the barrel of a cops gun once though, nice rifling, gulp.

[Dattebayo]

I'm still getting over the last bit of caring, but I can relate to that.Who cares about being cool tho? Too many different opinions to care...

[tristanH]

that is amazing what your wife did to her car

very nicebeautiful looking 180sx

[Loki]

OH GOD! ZOMBIE POST! Grab yer shotguns!!

[mattscar]

for those not familiar with the wife's other wheels. A late eighties Skyline, so clean you could eat off of it, if you tried though she would stab you.

Sweet Longchamps XR4!

Gonna pick up a set hopefully for my ae86 soon.

And damn those cars are so hot!

[backfold]

lucky wife and even luckier husband this looks like a fun ride

[jdmfreak]

You gotta be kiddin me....LOL

[bone_stock_240]

I laugh at Tony Danza.

[thekage]

I have been wondering this for a while now... I thought TMS was divorced?

[bone_stock_240]

I think he tricked a second woman into marrying him.

[DJButton]

Bwahahaha, so he did!

[themadscientist]

When I drop game it hits like boulders. I am a lucky guy to have such a great girl who is willing to be seen in public with me.

[r34 gtr]

I'd be seen in public with you, baby.

[Cameron]

good lookin intercooler mad

[themadscientist]

I'd be seen in public with you, baby.

You just want to touch the FJ!

[Dattebayo]

I know I do. Just stay away from the oilers...

[themadscientist]

I haven't heard top chain rattle in so long

[Dattebayo]

I don't even have a chain. Belt FTMFW.

[themadscientist]

I like belt myself. The FJ has a chain though and the tensioner on the top chain is oil pressure over spring and when you first fire it up the loose chain sounds terrible. Some aussie guy figured out a fix I need to use. When I build the full tilt boogie FJ I want to convert the bottom chainset to a countergear.
