The only reason I specificly said V6 is because I personaly being seeing a lot of them where I live with ricer wings weird body kits ect. Every now and then I see some really cool stuff but most of the new V6's that I have seen that do have appearance mods on them look really ridiculas. Of corse there is nothing wrong with anyone customizing their car to their taste no matter what kind of car it is. But said what I said because of what I have been seeing.

We all have peeves that get in our craw's... One of mine is calling a 'wheel' a 'rim'. But, I bite my lip and go on. Like mama said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, shut your yap."

(Not aiming that at anyone in particular, just raising my post count +1)

I read this article and I'm in total disbelief in regards to this statement:

"Those who live there, who ride there, who pay attention to what rolls down the streets, are fully aware of their allure." Allure? What allure? Seriously, I wish I could "get it" but I don't.

Okay guys, I got a warning from a moderator about my post to this thread as coming off as racist. So first off, let me apologize b/c that was definitely not the intention. i was just trying to explain why you saw that kind of wheel on a camaro, and why you will mainly only see it in Texas. So again, if I offended anyone, i apologize. No i wasn't told I had to post an apology so I wldn't get banned, and i typically don't care about someone else's opinion of me or what i say, but i do feel this is serious enough that it needs to be addressed. It's definitely an issue if a mod had to call me out on it, and he's exactly right, it's not acceptable on this forum, so my apologies for coming off as racist, and to anyone i offended.

Some people are just too damn thin skinned and sensitive. If I pointed out that some people always say "aks" instead of "ask", in an appropriate context of course, some people may get offended but that's something THEY have to deal with. A truth is a truth so long as you're not meaning to demean or put down.
