Nice Kammback!

Okay, here's some funny stuff I found on Youtube. Many of you probably know about the guy from the "Police Academy" films, the one who could make all these awesome sound effects with his mouth?

Turns out someone else is steeping up to the challenge. Engine sounds, with your mouth!

This one's not as good, but I had to include him due to the perfect Type-R-with-typical-ricer-driver imitation he did.

If I didn't see the video, I would really think that someone is drag racing into my house :D.  By the way, I LOVED police academy :D

Yeah, a recording never does the real thing justice.

I've got several favorites. One thing they have in common, with the exception of the Lambo Miura's V12 is that they are all V8's. Fords ones are particular great sounding.

The old, carburated ones are great sounding, no doubt about that. The noise restrictions have made new cars sound weedy in comparison to their older cousins.

However, there does excists new cars which make great noise. More high-pitched than the thunder of old days, but great anyway.

TVR/Land Rover V8 used by Bowler in their cars. This one sounds really wicked.

Corvette ZR1. Nice!

Aston Martin V8. Not that good on power, but my god does it sound great!

I can say, without prejudice, that I hate my '95 Ford Mustang (technically it's not mine, it's a "family owned car").

I wish I could leave the damn thing wrecked and burning.  :x

I'll tell you something. Here, in the worlds richest country, petrolheads my age would KILL for a Mustang, no matter the state, powerplant and year. Most young people can only afford horrid euroboxes, most get old, broken Volvo 240's.

I'm sorry....yeah, I'm just frustrated with my car problems today, that's all.

We got Ford Mustangs all over Cali.  I guess I take 'em for granted. =/

Me and my girlfriend were cruising around when I sprayed my windshield and the wipers froze. I knew what the problem was, and immediately pulled over to fix it, when a guy came out from his house, and said I could pull int his driveway to work instead of on the shoulder, since it was on a road where the speed limit was 50, it would be safer, so I did, and he left, but in the garage, was a Buick Grand National, car guys are almost always good people, to open your driveway to others and leave with a collectors car sitting in a garage with the door open, I wanted to say thanks, and ask for a rag to wipe the grease off with, but he wasn't home

^Nice story you've got there. I wish it really was that all car enthusiasts were as nice as that guy.

The impression I've got over the years is that fans of various cars differ greatly from each other, and that as a general rule of thumb, the classic car fans are the nicest.

The worst ones seems to be the Volvo fans(yes, there excists such things over here.), which can be some proper assholes sometimes. I've come into arguments with guys who honestly believe the 240 is the greatest car ever to be created, and refused to accept simple facts on the contrary.

The Cons of owning a classic/unique car

when everybody knows your car, and there are no others like it, they can counter act your alibi that your friends would support.

In other words, my parents found out I wasn't helping my buddy Dan work on his boat until 2AM, when somebody was talking to them and said, "I saw Kyle's car in Woodstown late last night"

I was with my girlfriend late last night

"I heard there was another beige Eagle Wagon in the area, that must have been it" didn't work, almost worked on my mom, but not my dad, he knows I would have been talking about that car before, and he's seen the girl's Eagle that I'm trying to help get back on the road

They don't know how to punish me yet

Thought I'd tell you about a car movie I really like. It's an incredibly cheesy B-movie from the 80's, and I simply love it for some strange reason.

As an introduction:

A small desert town has been harassed for months by a gang of drag racers, but so far no one has done anything to stop them. One day, a ghostly black car shows up, challenging members of the group to race, then killing them one by one. Neither the gang nor the police can catch the car or its driver, but some investigating into the gang's past may reveal just who's behind all this.

The race scenes are speed up, but still feel real, the soundtrack is as loveable 80's as that of "Top Gun", the cars are cool. (The bad guy drive a thrid gen. Corvette, like mine, only slower and uglier. :wink: , and the "Wraith" drives one of the most wicked cars ever to grace the cinema screen, the Dodge M4S prototype.)

Here's some footage. Contains some small spoilers!

Seriously tough, I'm going to recommend it. It's not in any way a masterpiece, but it definatively has charm, and will become a cult classic, if it isn't allready.

It is? Now that's really cool!

It does play a rather big role in the movie. It sounds very odd tough, but you'll understand why at the end.

just got this in an email and had to share

The Gear Head Prayer

The V-Eight is my Sheppard

I shall ALWAYS Want

It Maketh me Burnout on Black Pavements

It Leadeth me down busy freeways

It Restoreth my soul

It Leadeth me in the parth of Quickness

For its name sake.

Yea, Though I drive through the valley of Rice,

I shall fear no Turbo, for Torque art with me!

Thy Headers and Posi, They comfort me

Thou preparest a track for me,

In the presence of mine enemies:

Thou hast Anointed my bearings with Oil

My Truck Overpowers.

Surely Traction and Victory shall follow me

All the Days of my Life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the High

Performance V-Eight

Forever and EVER...Amen!

^Heard it and several variations before. But I've been a little reluctant to share it here because it crosses into religion. Tough, it shouldn't be to hard.

It's a nice prayer after all. Ever heard the V-Tec song?  :lol:

Alledegaly, he hit another Formula 2 car from behind, the transmission, which is placed at the rear, acted as a ramp and got the front to lif up. At those speeds and with such special aerodynamics, racecars like that WILL take flight.

Such as this Mercedes Le Mans racer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow3rxq7U1mA

Are you familiar with the 1955 LeMans disaster?

Wasn't that the worst accident ever in relation to motorsport? Wasn't it about a Merc who took of from the racetrack and landed on the tribune, killing almost a hundred people, and wounding another hundred?
