[ QUOTE ] man... reading this post is about as friendly as reading the posts that most people in my scene talk about ricers. interesting. another unaccepting crowd. can't see it's all the same idea, customizing a ****in' car to what you want. but nawwwwww couldn't be. big rims = rap star? everyone's got their profiles all set. hop in your judge's chairs, put on the black robes and bust out your gables. Lets start the judging! [/ QUOTE ] Here is a new flash this is a "TRADITIONAL" rod & custom site not a anytype of rod and custom site. No one is judging they are simply saying it doesn't belong here. Much like the truck in your avitar ...
That's what I'm saying, there are boards for that ****, this ain't it... Move along... Ohhh.. wait... Kindler gentler... Come on guys this isn't really what this board is about. I think we should all just think good thoughts about traditional rods and customs and meditate.

Well being as this isn't a "new truck" board it's O/T. Now there are a lot of guys here have things that are O/T, but we try and stick to TRADITIONAL rods and customs. Now if you want to talk about them, well cool. If not maybe you might want to try another board or lurk until you have better understanding of the digs here.
I like to dress up like Bozo the clown and take Dwarves out on dates to Bowling Alleys on Rocka-Billy Night (you'd be amazed at how many fights I get into) on my free time. There's nothing more TRADITIONAL than that, but I don't post the pictures here... There are other forums for GCDBRD (Guys into Clown-on-Dwarf, Bowling, and Rockabilly Dating). But then again GCDBRD's have taste... Unlike the owners of those cars.
You just don't get it do you???? [ QUOTE ] so because i have a bagged and channeled "new" truck, i'm ousted? [/ QUOTE ] You just don't get it (Trad. board)......... Later, BS
couple of hambers last month posted topics of long roofs and they turned out to be the new magnum and a buick ,i guess it is just one topic at a time to see which way the hamb turns
I don't care if Ryan has lowrider roots. He has never stated that this board will tolerate a thread on the subject. What part of "TRADITIONAL RODS AND CUSTOMS " don't you understand. Frank
[ QUOTE ] The truck is really nice, the magnumb is just that, and that thar lowrider is pretty goofy. -Crew [/ QUOTE ] Someone posts a pic of thier car and you call it goofy? I love lowriders.... And he even made a point to say that he wouldn't normally post it on the Hamb , but thought that he'd put it here cause' this thread is like a derailled train.... Show some respect!!! O' let's see your car! HC
i dont think my 63 is goofy at all... its a 4 door what would you do with it flat black it torch the springs and throw a set of wide wites on it with red wheels??? lets see what your workin on???? i got my 53 sedan delivery chopped 5" with wide whites my daily driver 83 cutl*** on 20s and my 63 impalla on 13x7" wires and hydraulics... i like it all and dont knock anyones car that they have put their hard earned money and their time into... i look at it this way... dont like my car??? **** off and build your own your way.... thats what i do....
[ QUOTE ] I don't care if Ryan has lowrider roots. He has never stated that this board will tolerate a thread on the subject. What part of "TRADITIONAL RODS AND CUSTOMS " don't you understand. [/ QUOTE ] You YaHoo... Ryan has posted pictures of Lowriders before. And more importatntly, as much as I agree with the fact that this particular post probably is too lame for the HAMB, I'll let Grim and Ryan decide what stays and what goes.
[ QUOTE ] It's goofy. It's just as O/T as that Magnumb. -Crew [/ QUOTE ] It's one thing to be O/T (which he stated that it was on this board)... It's another thing to call something that someone has worked hard on and is obvoiusly proud of GOOFY! RESPECT! HC
Just to throw another wrench into the mix... to all you guys that keep quoting "TRADITIONAL ROD & CUSTOM" This is also a public forum... These things will pop up from time to time unless you can get everyone who registers here sign a disclaimer giving you the right to hack off their nuts if they post offtopic ****... Think that will happen? Nope, me neither...
If everyone wasn't so damn "holier-than-thou" we could talk about off topic posts without getting into testosterone filled "my peepee's bigger than your peepee" ******* contests about who's got the cooler car. If someone posts something that you like, post back that you like it. If someone posts something that you don't like, post back that you don't like it. Or, don't post at all... Either way, all the "I'm telling Ryan" ******** needs to stop... its silly. ****ing hall monitors.
Alright already, jesus h f'n christ!!! i posted the pictures of the Magnum because there is a couple of HAMBers that bought one recently plus there's Magnum enthusiasts and I just wanted to share those pictures with THEM. for the truck pictures, the truck just happened to be at the same show so i posted those because I thought some "traditionalists" may like it. for all the people that don't like the fact that i made this post, you didn't have to inquire. the ***led of the post had the word Magnum in it so why did you bother with the post in the first place?
Good now I have an excuse to come out of the closet. Thanks 133. I picked it up at the end of July. It goes to BTG motoring in two weeks for prototype whipplecharger measurements. It's the closest thing I can come to a 'hotrod' considering my 2 1/2 hour commute. 342hp 390ft lbs of torque. Thing has serious ****ing balls for such a big car. High 13s, low 14s. I fell in love the first time I test drove it. Anyone care to discuss Volkswagens? THERE. I'm out of the closet and I feel better.

[ QUOTE ] being a midget clown does the magnum have adjustable pedals and column? [/ QUOTE ] Adjustable pedals are a $200 option. (I think thats what they cost.) They come with an adjustable column both in & out and up & down from the factory. The car is so big, when I sit in normal driving position, I cannot reach the rear view mirror without leaning forward and I'm 6' 5". Get the adjustable pedals.
you're welcome daign. by the way, cool 300. a supercharger is a real nice touch. i really like these cars. they look really ***y with some big wheels on them too. my work is making a prototype 300 limo.
So you have to own a car to know what "goofy" looks like? A lowrider w/ its tires up in the air is just ****in' goofy. Lots of people here post a pic of their car & some guys say they don't like it (remember the "ridiculously low '31" thread a couple months back?). You post a lowrider & get bent that some of us think its goofy? Get over it. Even flat black w/ www & red rims would look better. And I grew up surrounded by lowriders- I ain't seen one yet that didn't look goofy w/ its tires up in the air. Sorry if you're offended, but thats life.
This is some serious traditional hot rod/kustom stuff here..... I know that I've been guilty of postying pics of my old billet claded 51 sedan delivery on here, but at least it was a '51, not a 2004 or 05. Come on guys, lets leave this topic for the import/goldchainer/bling bling crowd. Just me 2centavos.
no offense 1Low but take a gander at my post just above daign's post of his new 300. that will explain everything.
this is irrelevant but i thought this was intresting, my 92 year old aunt got a 300 and drives it to flordia from N.C, every month or two, and shes a great driver to for 91. just thought that was cool will
