[Clager_250_XF]

my dad hates it my mum hates it my bro hates it! every1 hats my car fasination!!!! the day i brought my first car (3 years ago) I brought a pod filter and my old man had ago at me cos i installed it my self lol! he wanted me to take it to a work shop :S

[FPVWEPN]

My mum doesnt really care for cars and tells me to save as does my dad. Although when somethings wrong with my car dad's always willing to give me pointers and helps out with real enthusiasm for things like changing th k-frame, changing the brakes, lowering the car, installing the catch can etc.... And he always asks me if he can borrow it

[Streeter]

its ok at the moment i have 3 cars and no licence go figure mum hates my cars sez they are nothing but trouble i should just leave them stock my dad kinda likes them and wants to help with mods but then sez stupid things like dont lower it or what do you need stereo for it has a radio in it go figure

[niko]

No 2.5" madrel cat-back, sounds almost like stock 8 at idle

clicky clicky

[niko]

no it doesnt, sounds like a 6 with an exhuast :P

[2kool4u]

hahahaha, the sound quality of the digital camera does it no justice.

[LUXO_8]

an inline 6 cylender engine will never sound like a V8...as has been said it sounds like a 6 with an exhaust, not a V8.. its not the "sound quality of your camera"

[mcflux]

Having a six and claiming it's got a V8 note = ghey

Say it's a six, and be proud of it! Sixes can sound horn in their own way.

[Rollin]

Everyone always thinks UNR8Ds car is an 8, go figure....maybe the twin pipes out the back fool peoples ears into thinking it sounds like an 8 :S

[lukey039]

When I first brought the car I took my old man,In his words "thats in bloody good nick,I might buy it".To that he added," Its too good to be left outside in the weather we had better start on that carport for you".Once built she never saw the carport, the garage was the prefered home.Since then they have stuck by with my decessions to spend money on it and pull it apart at all goddly hours.Now that I have my won place when I go home, Mum can hear me coming but I don't get a reving just told "now don't be silly and speed,stay safe you are too precious" I am aware of this but I can't help myself sometimes.

Dad still doesn't knock back a chance behind the wheel.

I find that when i say to my oldies, would you rather i smoke crack or rubber they leave me alone.

Yesterday at work we noticed a really riced up 2oosx on 2o's doing burnouts next door with a film crew watching, pretty crappy circle work to. I yelled out to the driver to take his skirt off and do it properly and they didn't take to kindly to that and yelled some abuse back, 1 camera guy said i should get my bucket of sh&t out. I just laughed and walked off till my old man asked wat was going on, when i explained wat had happened he said wat the bloody hell are you waiting for.


Went for a quick drive next door and ended up smoking the new 19's i put on my car.

[snypereb]

Parents love my car mum gotupset now she knows im selling it

[sven]

my parents say my car is loud but they dont mind the mods. i dont always tell them the truth on the amount of money i spend though i always just bring it back to how much my brother spends on his guitars and then they shut up!!

[CaRtZ]

[niko]

[eb91xr6]

mines too low and too loud wakes mum every morning when i start the car, shakes the fence, but i guess u get that from extractors and not having a muffler,

[Lumpen Proletariat]

Lol...Dad likes the Manual and the Black Pearl, and mocks me for my exhaust note. He is surprised of the punch it has down low compared to his auto.

Mum...ah, frugal fuel efficient Mum. I'll tell her I have a V8.one day.I dont need that nagging quite yet.

go the manuals!

[SVT8]

lmao, my dad laughed at me when i said i want and eb. Out of all the australian ford models built he hates the ea-ed the most and said " you are not getting an eb and thats that". Well i ended getting a 5ltr EB and he keeps sneaking off when im not looking and mentions how much he misses driving his zd fairlane which just sits in the back. My mum hates the idea of me owning a v8 but my old man managed to get her to change her mind by saying " the AU you are driving has more kw than this v8".

All in all parents are ok with it and i have managed to make my dad and brother like the e-series models.

[Allen]

sometimes my parents frown upon me spending money on the car... other times they are all enthusiastic about it??

Either way... i just remind them of their expensive hardware in the garage and they drop the subject for some reason... :P
