Legalize skylines as a kit car? - Page 2

The cost of the add on doesn't make it wrong, the point was that they put more money into things like that than making sure the car was solid to begin with. A rusty trunk lid is not going to support that wing for long.. And what's the point of having some spiffy chrome wheels if the rust strips hanging out from under your fenders are about to slit your Kuhmos?

As for the girl reference, wasn't about 'cost' again. The simple fact is, we all know you get what you pay for. You think someone making a living off their looks the way a super model does would risk their skin to less than the best cosmetics? Same for a skyline, are you going to use less than the best hardware on it? But you're right, if it floats your boat, go for it. *shrug*

The last thing, if $95K is nothing to a millionaire or billionaire, go ask one for half that much. Bet they tell you to kiss off.. If it WEREN'T something to them, they'd hand it over without thinking wouldn't they? Yes, they may pay quite a bit for their houses and cars, but I bet you, none of them paid more than original sticker price for a Skyline..

All cars are solid, its whut u do to it that makes it fall apart! They may chose to drill holes and place a wing, whereas us may rev your motor pass the rev limiter and strain your engine. I mean, how long does it take to rust holes through ur trunk. Compare that to how easy it is to crashing your car racing or blowing your motor reving. Im saying if u build your motor to withstand the high rpms then it wont mess up, if u take the extra steps to seal your holes with a sealant then it wont rust at all.

u dont always get whut u pay for tho!

Tell me, whut is the differece between real spoon sw388 and rota slipstreams? They both weigh the same and look the same but one cost twice as much. My friend bought spoon side mirrors for his car and they cracked the next week! All spoon really is is a name stamped on generic made rims. But like some people they are willing to pay the full price for the rims, and some people chose not to.
The last thing is, when a bum asks u for change, do u always give them some? u may occassionally but not all the time! If i had 100 dollars in my pocket, i wouldnt just give a dollar away! but when i find something i like for a dollar, i am quick to pick it up not even thinking about the dollar. Why do u think they fork over millions of dollars when they could build the same house for much cheaper using generic parts? When it comes to spending money, u would rather spend it on crap like air fresheners than giving it to a stranger.

I've seen just about enough here. This has digressed off topic, and Nismo Skyline did warn you that this thread would be locked if this BS continues, and since it has, this thread is closed. Any questions? Contact me via AIM or E-mail (SE2001@pacbell.net)
