How do you like the Challenger? Which do you like the most between the two manufacturers?
Anytime you want to setup a BMW convoy near Bmore i'm in dude chaps is legit

And as for the GMs/Dodges/etc...they just don't do it for me personally. It's far too easy to make them look downright garish, though OPs looks quite clean. No knocking the power they put down, just a preference thing. That's a helluva meet you got together though, impressive!

work is going by very slowly today, not much goin on

if garish means "ghetto" or "bootleg", then yes, i agree 100%.

sometimes you get Challenger and Charger owners that want to toss donks and lights on them and then you have Challenger and Charger owners that want to maintain the muscle car aspect of them.....

i "mostly" hang around the group that cares for the muscle car aspect of it HAHA !!!!

yes - that is legit butcher paper used as "plates" lol.

even the sausage is packed and rolled in their facility - even has the freaking strings still on them

even though we all drove almost 2 hours to get THIS bbq, there are plenty of BBQ joints around the Houston area....

if any of you clown heads ever find ya'lls way to Houston, give me a call. i'll be your giude

I hear that, I don't mind people accentuating the defining features of their cars, ie for muscle cars the thick and abrupt angles of the car and the giant displacement under the hood. It's the various bells and whistles that IMO at least just look tacky ie angel eyes on a Chrysler 300 or 22'' wheels on a Charger. Obvi the same can be done for european and jdm cars, I guess I just notice it the most on the American Muscle for whatever reason. Speaking of American muscle, I did a friendly quick pull last night against a Z06 from 60-110….them shits is fast.

Hell yes they are. One of my neighbors has one and let me take it for a drive once. The way that thing will push you back into the seat is pretty amazing, though with basically full torque from a stand still, that's not all that amazing.

that seems like it would be a hell of a ride, max torque from launch...

When I was an undergrad a few years back I played the pants off MW2, got pretty damn good at it, kdr cleared 2.6 when I stopped playing IIRC. And I wasn't a sit in corners type of player either. Really fun game, for whatever reason I've completely stopped playing video games over the past year or so, it wasn't an active choice, it just sorda happened. PS3 hasn't even been at my house since September. I've heard mixed things on bops2, COD has been over-run by nubz/13 year olds.

I use to play on Gamebattles.com and play matches. My friend plays tournaments and shit and wins money for playing. I like the maps more in Bops2 than the previous games (except COD4; that game was the shit). It has become extremely repetitive (the COD series). I just piss people off now when I play lol. My brother bought it for PS3 yesterday and I got him to level 7 on the first S&D game. People weren't happy

Ya I did a decent amount of GB back in the day, I never really got into search though, I was always a groundwar dom player, but that's probably just because I was a total slayer/kill whore. I'd be lying if I said I played the objective a lot, I was in it for kill totals lol. I agree the series has become quite stale, but that's just the nature of FPS. You're quite literally doing the same thing over and over, it's bound to get old after while. For some people that doesn't happen for 20 years, for others it happens after 20 minutes.
