1) I think they're up to 19" bling, blings now.
2) Everyone think's they have the best one, I just know I don't.
3) Painting your car with a roller & industrial paint. (really-search for it)
The longer you stay in the game, the later it gets.

who cares? let people do what they wanna do and let them share what they know or have found out about. Its what keeps this site going, and the options that are out there.
Tell ya thats one thing still kickin on TGO is the lack of accepting new ideas or new people.

Also, I have noticed a lot of pewter colors (chrysler platinum is one variation) popping up on cars. A few different shades of blue are becoming more popular as well.
Deep dish wheels in the back.
Polished finish wheels are popping up a lot more.

Seems to me the thing thats becoming really popular lately are ACCIDENTS!
Seriously, in the past year ive seen so many wrecked thirdgens its insane.
Then last spring my gf backed into my 'bird and totalled it
Now im afraid im thirdgen-less
I do have a mid 9 second vehicle as my daily driver though so its not all bad. (which by the way was my "valentines day present" from her to make up for my fallen bird.) Oh well, i guess she made up for it. Four months, 11 days until i get my next Iroc. (21st b-day, trust fund payday!)

it, everyone get's bent out of shape about it. It's as if anything done to a thirdgen is a good thing so long as the species survives! (not) And for those, I give you this. I know, I know, it would look great with some clear side markers!!

im sorry...no we dont need to accept new ideas but we should learn how to be respectful of others.
Theres something called "constructive criticism" something you should learn and a lot of others on this site. Either that or dont say anything at all.
No one should have to like something because its different or because no one else has done it, but you shouldnt have to trash talk the person to the ground for it.

I'll let this die here as we're getting off the post topic a bit. I guess we'll just agree to disagree on responding to ideas. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
