my avatar is Rick Yune as Johnny Tran in fast and the furious it is a running meme amongst the car community of ricers thinking their hondas are fast because they stick underglows and body kits on their cars if you look op v-tec just kicked in or v-tec just kicked in yo you will most likely find the picture. also you can look up ricers and know what im talking about.

If only we had things like private messages, or off topic sub forums.

It doesn't matter if it is a word or a paragraph, posting is posting. Ripster lives his life 1 post at a time.

Doesn't work for me either in IE, you have to use mozilla firefox.

At the very least it could've been posted in ripster's subforum... it's not even about keyboards.

I didn't even know that people still used IE.

Only reason I use it is because the Australian government is too lazy to make their services compatible with FF.

I KNEW there was something about that guy in that movie.

I'm not a big fan of tattoos and piercings etc but having a ****load of diamonds embedded in your face would be the bomb.

Ricer ideology has become mainstream, with people that don't even own ricers, thinking they are the fastest cars out there. I can't tell you how many times I had idiots thinking their friend's stock Subaru's would burn my Corvette. I guess that extra 180hp and 230lb torque is insignificant to them?

It would be when the first corner appears.

Maybe I should save the lolcantturn trolling to 4chan /o/.

I do love me some Vette though, jokes aside.

You are gonna insult quite a few people saying that. A lot of people at work are forced to use IE. :)

Ierno, Opera and FF works fine, so it is probably problem with Chrome.

HP is very useful coming out of a turn, and a Corvette has far more advanced handling technology than ricers. New generation corvettes are more agile than you might think, they are designed for track racing, not straight lines, like most other powerful American cars (mustang, charger, camaro, ect). Corvette won Le Mans 7 years in a row (2001-2008) before retiring, beating ferrari, aston martin, BMW, mercedes, ect.

A ricer would need extreme mods to compete with a standard vette (not even Z06 or ZR-1).

This is why the lolcantturn meme exists and why it will take a lot of effort and time to shake the image. But I agree with your post.

I also commend you for a reasonable answer to my attempt at trolling.

I really shouldn't try to troll on public forums because I know it's going to get me into trouble. I just feel like I should troll to conform with noodles, ripster, etc just so I look cool here.

Post by: Clickey on Wed, 07 December 2011, 18:32:47

Noodles is the best troll I have ever seen. I wonder if he was always this way, or if years of forum use jaded him into a constant state of trollery.

I'm starting to feel that way myself actually.

You are joking right? Just use whatever will get the job done and move on. And how exactly do you "internet"? And what happen when you "internet"?

The fact that you didn't use the search function or google what the problem might be tell's me you might not know how to internet....

Well obviously, there are no normal corvettes in the LMP1 and LMP2 classes. The corvettes do reasonably well in their class (GTE pro, I think?) they did better than all non-LMP cars in 2011 (though not in qualifying)

Ripster: what is the point of all this?
