I wish I could say I was getting some help with those wheels, but nope... I'm paying for them... business licence is helping though!

 

From another thread...

Exactly... same here! Just got the reminder today! WTF?

I noticed the 3rd (sun) airing of a Rides episode has been patchy on their scheduling the past few weeks... (1 and 2 being on Tues) used to be the 3rd airing on that following Sunday at 2... but they seem to be delaying the 3rd airings now... like a few weeks delay. the one Sunday was from a while back... weird!

 

congrats redraif

 

ok i know im late on this but i wanted to tell you Congrats Redraif!

 

Thanks again you all! Last I saw on TLC... show will reair on the 18th @ 2pm... Of course I will be at NOPI then. Wanted a copy before to play at NOPI.. oh Well!

Saw this thread on TLC verifying the reair of my ep in the 18th

TLC forum

 

*now wishes he had channels hooked up to the TV*

anywhere else I can watch it? :P

 

Not that I'm aware of... hook up your tv you ahve till Sun or go visit a friend!

 

great job with RAIF so far shannon! i haven't seen "rides" yet, but i'm lookin forward to it, just set the recorder in case i'm not home. keep up the good work!

 

Nice car, bottom line, no yelling.

Shannon, my little boy thinks your car is so cool he wants me to do our IROC like yours. His favorite color has always been red and he always wears red, rides a red bike and his favorite color to put with red is black. In fact, we spent hours online looking for his next bike which had to be red and black (Finally found a Trek). And my wife wanted me to tell you to keep up the great work and to remember that men who have big mouths are trying to make up for a lack of size in other departments!

 

Thanks! Nice to here! How old is your little boy? Too funny what your wife said!

 

He just turned Nine and is out with me in the garage anytime we do even the slightest bit of work on Pretty Girl. His exact quote was "That is soooo coool!" when he saw the pics of RedRaif. Funny thing is we were all discussing just recently accent colors (red) for our interior and motor (Hopefully I'll be able to keep the exterior black but Beau is a powerful influence!). Yes, my wife is too funny and knows all too well what you are going through as Pretty Girl was hers before it was mine (It was a gift on Fathers Day some years ago). She has always been good at shutting guys down either with a simple look or a few choice words! Her father was a Judo master and instilled in her a strength equal to her beauty and I am forever grateful. Keep up the beautiful work on RedRaif. - Michael, Beau, and Stephanie

 

lol, all I gotta say is if all that sh*t was on a honda, everyone would be yellin R I C E R.
but since its on a thirdgen and a girl's car on here its respectable and cool.

 

Well, I dont really think its "cool" but I also dont think she deserves to be insulted. Especially in a thread about her being on TV. She only deserves one thing, and thats a congrats. If you dont believe me then smell my macadema nuts and lava!!!

 

Just had to dig this up from the past to let ya' know, Shannon, that you have just gone international (maybe not the first time ) as this show was aired here in Norway.

Congrats on the multiple appearances in the show! Looks like an awesome event btw!

Some guys can respect a girl that is into cars and likes to put time and effort into them, then there are the other guys that hang out at the gay clubs.

Congrats redraif... keep it up.

 

Wow.... that shouldn't be too hard......

 

Very Cool thanks for letting me know! Thanks for the congrats!

LOL! Thanks!

 

Is this TV show car appearing at the gathering again? Where you been Shannon! We've had a post in the SE section for like three months!! lol Hope all is well, later.

 

Yeah congrats! Now the whole wide world can see your abomination!

 

88 WS6 TransAm GTA....well said. I don't even know what to call it, sad but people actually think they have taste. Oh well

 

"If you can't say somethin nice, then don't say nothin at all" - Thumper
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - Margaret Wolfe Hungerford

Honestly now...tastes differ and people like different things. I think it's been pretty clear that redraif's style is not gonna please everyone. Can we stop with the bashing already?

 

Yeah been off and on TGO w/o out any regularity. Not much surfing thru the threads like I used to. Been doing so much to the car as of late. Redoing the heads... adding an MSD box... Revamping the stereo system again! The big project was to makeover the engine bay, but it has blown up in our faces. More work then time available.... I planned on going to the Gathering, but it is yet to be seen. The car was supposed to be done by STARS and the show was missed. So keeping my fingers crossed that I can get it done in time. We keep having issues with the paint not coming out right. Might be learning how to cut and buff paint on the engine bay!

 

WOW and they just have to come in and try to start more crap. Why does this not surprise me? You all are so predictable!

NO this is a well said statement!

Seriously....like it or not, its my car, I'm doing it my way regardless of the nay sayars. Some of you need to grow up & realize that neither the car or I am going anywhere, so if you don't like it go play elsewhere. Starting the flame wars and killing threads is getting old and just making you all look like a donkeys behind! ENOUGH!

 

Actually, no matter what you say, youre the one who looks like a "donkeys behind", owning a car like that and being proud of it. If were so predictable, then why not ignore us? Because you cant and you know it! You need to grow up and realize what good taste is, and that we who arent afraid to tell you how it is arent going anywhere either.

 

LIKE I SAID EARLIER! https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/2498145-post50.html

This thread is NOT a "rate-my-car" thread. Opinions are of course had by all, but this is not the place for them. It is to congratulate someone on being aired on TV, someone who many of us know personally. Please learn some respect, and learn that "good taste" is an opinion, not a guideline. Flaming is frowned upon on TGO, so kindly keep it to yourselves, or hash it out in PMs with her if you really can't contain yourselves.

 

Ironically... comming from someone with a huge white stripe over their entire car...
Because people like you won't allow people like her to ignore you.

 

i liked the car better when i set it on fire.

 

Well...had I known that all this completely retarded bickering was coming all over again, I'd just sent a PM...

Ken

 

I guess what confuses me is the point of you trolls following me around like a bunch of groupies... Alot of wasted effort over something you hate so much!

What is the goal in following me to nearly every thread I post in and stirring up trouble, even when its a post that is technical or completely unrelated to an opinion thread? There is none outside of just making yourself appear immature... which again proves the dumb donkey statement!

Unlike you all, in most threads, I have something on topic to add to help or to answer a fellow members question. That would be the point of this board. The mindless banter can be best served on other less tech oriented sites...

mods you can delete this is it's not appropriate.

Edit- Consider it done. No need to upload images that have nothing to do with anything just to flame someone.

 

car isn't my cup of tea either..no big deal on that. HOWEVER, I would put anything on the line that says you all are claiming this respect thing b/c SHE is a GIRL. Now, before you shout "shovenist," let me tell you I have been in the military for 7 years now (an officer for 3) and have total respect for females and have worked with outstanding females in my time. I'm just keeping it real here. If that car was some 18 year old pimple poppin' kid you'd be all over his *** and try to ban him or some crap like that. If you say I'm wrong, your probably a liar. All I remember about the redraif is red tint and a whole bunch of red everywhere......not my cup, but if she likes it GREAT. Stop trying to win girl's hearts on the internet.

 

Most of the posts where someone was ripping her apart sound jealous that thier piece didn't make it to any shows and not publicized on television.

It's not my cup of tea either, but there are a lot of cars on here that aren't. They still deserve respect since they aren't tearing into your ride.

Good job red.

edit (morning spelling)

 

Does anyone have any screencaps from the episode?

 

Chevyboy, please read the entire thread. I mentioned twice now the reason why we are claiming respect.

Not because she is a girl.

Because many here know her personally.

 

congrats raif
I saw you in that episode months ago but good job anywho.
one question though,when you gonna put some v8 muscle in that thing to "complete" the package?

 

If you look at her car, there really are no "japanese" upgrades. R ICE in other words. She did go with some things that are over the top even for people who like modifying thier cars. However, you have to admit that her car has good work done to it. Its really hard to see good work nowdays.

I understand that her car "might" give thirdgen firebirds a bad name, or undermined value, due to its tuner like modifications, but you have to understand tha programs like that really don't know much about muscle and concentrate on tuners. Even rides is pretty crappy show. They have new cars and talk about old ones rarely, and inacurately.
The only program I would validate is the one that praises third gens, and even mentions them.

All in all I like Raif and its not a ***** mobile.

Now get off the girls back and modify your third gen the way you want to.!!!


WIth all that said, I just wanna say that I am rather mad that third gens are nowhere to be found in history books and auto magazines. I checked the muscle car book yesterday and they had camaros and firebirds. There was one picture of a third gen (for all the third gens mentioned). It was Knight Rider. I love Knight RIder, but thats just a mockary, so I took the book to the bathroom and pissed on it. (Really). Thats all they deserve. If it wasn't for third gens there would be no good looking American cars around today.
Thanks.
