It's a bad ass little car!

First word that comes to mind is....................spunky !!!

If I was into naming cars and I had a little black turbocharged beetle, I'd name her Spunky.

Same with that little Mini I drove.

Spunky One and Spunky Two. Gotta love 'dem fuckin' Spunkies.

Well, we have kinda gotten OT for this thread so I will step away after making this statement. In making your analogy I think you have made a critical mistake as the two kinds of ego enhancement you refer to are completely different in nature. In one case an individual has made a significant effort in working out to "improve" her body, applying makeup carefully (a skill, btw) and dressing in ways that she believes makes her look attractive. In the second example A guy went out and bought a car.

Entitlement may be a bad descriptive term for this, but I would suggest that the woman who worked at getting that ego boost is entitled to it because she got it through her effort. The guy with the car got it out of his pocket. Who knows what effort he went to to get the money to buy the car, but the car is a badge indicating what he has, not who he is. If that serves his ego that is fine and there is nothing wrong with it, but it is hardly comparable to ego enhancement that the woman might get from the effort she made to improve her appearance. In my (warped as it may be) view of ego enhancement, the woman in our story should get a whole different level of appreciation for her effort and support for her ego.

I know these recent posts are OT, but it's a really interesting discussion. Ok, fucking discussion.

Self-esteem can be really hard to come by but it's also essential to have any kind of quality of life. So many things in our society are there to tear it down so I don't begrudge anyone for trying to carve out a little bit of self-esteem for themselves, in whatever form that may take.

In regards to the above, for me, it matters not what people do to help boost their self-esteem as long as it doesn't come at the "direct" expense of others, or in other words, stealing it from someone else.

Fuck ego stealers......!!!

I say FUCK YOU to anyone that thinks I bought my car because I have a little dick or because I'm trying to compensate for something else. In all actuality, my dick is barely functional because I have no prostate. And I have no prostate because I have cancer.

In my quest to enjoy as much as life has to offer before I reach my expiration date, I bought a new Vette Convertible. It has nothing to do with ego, it has nothing to do with trying to prove something I'm not, and it has nothing to do with a mid-life crisis.

It has everything to do with FUN! I don't think I need to explain that driving a car like this, with the top down, is infinitely more fun than driving the family SUV or (God-forbid) the mini-van.

I worked very hard all of my life, including putting a 20-year Air Force career under my belt. While in the service, I studied hard to get an education (MBA in Information Systems) and I worked hard after leaving the service to get the job I currently have.

The results of my hard work and education allows me the luxury of affording a car like this while still maintaining a healthy savings account, maxed-out IRAs and 401k's, and a nice little house in surburban America. My wife will want for very little after I'm gone.

But in the same respect, a large part of my life is spent getting MRI's and CT scans done to see how my cancer is progressing. More time is spent evaluating x-rays and blood tests to make sure my other bodily functions are still in-check. And after dealing with all that crap day-in and day-out, getting into the Vette washes all that shit to the side. At least until I get home and "life" resumes.

And FUCK YOU to that driver whose picture was posted earlier. There is no way in hell I would ever consider parking like that.

NICE car. This is the ONLY Vette that I've liked the looks of as well as the '62 I had way back when.

Beautiful fucking car, hd. Drive it in the best health this life has to offer you, man. :tup:

Edit: And man, I sure can relate how a ride can change your perspective of things. I remember back when I had my Norton Commando. I could come how from work all stressed out but after a 5 to 10 minute ride on my Norton, I came home feeling like I took a few tranqs with a small dose of coke. :D

what kind of cars do winners drive, hmmmm?
Winners drive luxury cars of course . . . :D

Radar cruise control, parking assist sensors with backup camera, heated and cooled front seats, power rear sun shade, voice activated navigation system, HID self leveling and cornering headlamps etc etc etc.

Comfort for me all the way . . . :tup:

Oh and fuck people who abuse disabled parking spaces. Like the spaces for van accessible vehicles only for people that side load wheelchairs using lifts and such. Some people with regular cars and disabled permits use these spaces anyways because they have a pass and feel they are entitled to use any disabled space and don't care about the further restriction not realizing that someone with a whole lot more disability than them really needs that spot. Or they take the spaces designated for pregnant women only. I am considering getting into volunteer parking enforcement because of these kinds of people.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
What is with all the penis references!? I'm starting to take 'Fuck You' literally.

Although the convertible is my wife's I will say this in defense of what lwein said 'When she decided on that car my heart skipped a beat and the first time I got to drive it I felt like a 16 year old again.' Always wanted one since I was old enough to drive. Not once did the size of my penis enter my mind. Actually I would liken it more to the feeling the old geezers got in the movie Cocoon when they were running around like kids. So yeah - not compensating so much as experiencing another high of sorts. Although I do have to admit that the first time I stomped on the gas and the car growled at me it did hit me a little in the penis.:rofl:

Surveys don't usually make good science, but just for fun I thought I would share this...

I believe that the survey is skewed because I was never polled (pardon the pun). Had they asked me I would have caused them to add another response 'Stand back a few feet and let me show you' which would have skewed the percentages afterwards..........a lot :rockon:

I too occasionally need to be reminded when I do this. Never hurts to have a look at how we look.

Fuck you to all who are perfect as perfection is a goal sought but never attained.

FUCK the Senate for robbing those that need some help to feed the goddamn war machine. Typical Republican BULLSHIT !!!:

"Senate passes GOP-backed budget plan that boosts defense spending and cuts $5 trillion largely on social programs."

Washington (CNN)The Senate on Tuesday passed a Republican-backed budget blueprint that boosts defense spending while cutting $5 trillion in spending, largely on social programs….

The proposal tightens eligibility rules for food stamps and cuts funding for other social programs, proposing, for instance, $430 billion in savings from Medicare. And it hikes funding for the Pentagon's war fund -- which is outside of the overall budget, and thus isn't subjected to budget caps previously imposed by lawmakers -- by $38 billion.

Not to mention they're specifically cutting va health care, should be the fucking headline!

Fuck You Apple and your shitty IOS 8.3. I am have nothing but problems - it keeps kicking me off of FC and I have to keep signing back on. It's really slow too.

That goes for windows 8 too. Who designed that crap????? Glossy new surface, same old windows bs. Nothing's natural. Have to hop through myriad windows hoops because they simply don't get the concept of computing efficiency. It's like "how many clicks would you like to do before you get to use your computer for what you want? 10? 15? Maybe a warning or two?" My mac's still running on an older os so maybe I won't update.
 

RUDE BOY

That sucks grokit. Fuck the need for 'em but an inline fuel filter works wonders in keeping your carbs in working order.

:peace:


Edit: I say fuck any car with a computer. I liked it so much better when you could work on your vehicle with minimal and basic tools.

I use inline filters on everything I can, my new weapon is stabil so the gas doesn't go bad in the carb. The main problem seems to be the amount of time they sit between starts, the gas gums up when it goes bad and that's the end of reliability. But I tell ya what, I have two vehicles with computers and fuel injectors and two with no computers and carburetors. The ones with computers and fuel injectors always fucking start, definitely can't say that about the carbureted ones. My dodge needs a new rochester quadracrap, but I have a rebuild kit that I will be deploying soon. I would love to put a big holly on it but would have to change the manifold and linkage and more; I'm leaning towards selling this rig so might as well keep the engine stock.

Fuck ethanol x2.
I just don't like making food into fuel when folks around the world are starving.
Not to mention a lot of that corn is Bt corn. Fuck GMOs.

In 2011, doctors at Sherbrooke University Hospital in Quebec found Bt-toxin in the blood of:
  • 93 percent of pregnant women tested
  • 80 percent of umbilical blood in their babies
  • 67 percent of non-pregnant women

How true @t-dub. There's so much toxic crap in food these days that mess with the human body it's scary. Sensitive people have been feeling the ill affects for decades. But I'll tell you where you see it most these days: kids. The brains etc. of most adults were well enough developed by the time all the processed foods started making up the majority of our diets that we could manage. Today's kids haven't had the luxury of developing before being exposed to all the crap. They're "developing" on some nasty toxic foods. And suffering some consequences.
