J-Rod & K-rod's Ride (will post pics Wednesday-Thursday) - Page 2

I have much respect for women who have the taste and testosterone to drive a "guy's" car... but much more for those who can maintain 'em well.

Much has to be said about women and cars. But as that old ballbuster saying goes, "It's not so much the size that matters, but how you use it." To me, girls who drive raggedy modded cars have the same appeal as ricers. I have much more respect for busy, mid-30s working women who drive pristine-condition stock 5 year old 3G GT Eclipses than teeny-tuner girls who run their twin turbo candy pearl 300ZXs to the ground.

... and the curb.

So honestly, I would've done without the lugs BUT thats just me. I like my ride dark and mysterious.

I just gotta say, this post put a pretty big smile on my face, haha.

Cruisin to get looks from other girls? I'm sorry but thats hot.

i can understand that but... if i pulled up next to a couple girls that where racing people and were wearing ball caps with tucked hair... well i PERSONALLY wouldn't find that hott only b/c thats to much butch for me

... a girl that knows what they want hott

, a girl that keeps a clean ride hotter,

a girl that thinks outside the box hottest

, but a chick being a guy not so much for me

...

but like i said i understand what your getting at... i mean i did date the crazy vette...

I just meant the chicks cruisin for other chicks part being hot, haha. I'm not into chicks dressin up like dudes, unless it's some sexy Halloween outfit.

Aaaaanyway, do you live anywhere near Houma J-Rod? I know a girl that lives near there, so just wonderin.

j-rod · September 12th, 2007, 04:03 PM

well not exactly... see... she lives almost 8hrs away... thats Branson, MI from here...

eclipsebabe07 · September 12th, 2007, 04:16 PM

whoa haha wait.. i didn't mean we race around lookin like dudes lol... hahaha

i meant it like, one day, i had my windows cracked and my friend stephanie and I noticed that some chicks were thinkin that it's a guys car and they wanted our attention.. but they saw our hair and were like "oh, they aren't guys" type thing.. so after that, we thought it'd be funny to put on hats with our windows cracked so they couldn't see we were girls at first lol.. you know, so all they saw was the top of a hat instead of long girlie hair haha because we wanted to see what all they'd do to get our attention and how long they'd pace us.. and after awhile, we'd take off our hats - roll down the windows and the look on their faces would be hilarious. lol

i hate hats so i only did it once.. lol but there was one time, during plain daylight, these two girls in a truck we drivin beside me and they were tryin to figure out who was in the car and unfortunately, i busted up laughin flew passed them with my window down and all i heard was "oh thats a girl!" so i kinda ruined it but still.. they werent payin attention to the road

anyways, i guess you'd have to understand where i live to get why we did that once. lol we live in a town, with 5 military bases. the girls in this town are all VERY superficial and when they see a nice, new ride.. especially with out of town plates AND a military tag on the windshield they automatically think "OMGGGG he's military and probably has a lot of money because he just got back from Iraq" and i have military tags on the windshield and Texas plates in Colorado lol so when they do their best to look good and act all cute thinking some hot solider is driving and find out it's a girl.. it's priceless

ohhh i got yeah i live in Shreveport, LA which is right next to Barksdale Air Force Base... where they keep all the BIG shit... B52 city... i got you... i was just giving you a hard time... see where i live there actually alot of Lesbos

... don't ask me y (but i do think its b/c there are alot of hot girls in the area)... for the cities cap... i know it is more than normal... i have 8 girl/girl friends... so i think the reason Kera is so worried about making it look alittle girly is for that reason... i do have a buddy... she's got a 02 WS6 that is white with 20's / 2x 12" JL w7s / stage 2 + all components / borla exhaust / and has a sticker on the hatch that reads "eating 4s even more"... that screams DUDE and she can't weigh more than 110 and is 5.6... we always kid her about having bigger balls than any of us... all well she does...

I remain, mid-30's, established, professional women prudent enough to be driving 5-year old clean 3G GTs instead of the newest Infiniti or Lexus to roll off the lot = priceless.

I can't tell you how many women around here fit that mold. That just tells me either one of two things:

They've got a stable enough job to maintain a relatively decent car, but
Not too ostentatious to be jumping onto the next big spending spree, and
Isn't quite willing and ready to give up all hope for that Guy in a Ford Taurus look.

Hotness doesn't have to be about the bells and whistles. Wifey material ain't about always keeping up with the Joneses. And that's hot.

j-rod · September 15th, 2007, 03:56 PM

thanks guys for all th feedback i appreciate it... i see FLGTeclipse is COTM twice...

Slippercream · September 15th, 2007, 06:33 PM

Am I sensing a hint, J-Rod?

j-rod · September 17th, 2007, 09:37 AM

wow... was it that apparent? sorry... the car isn't COTM material yet but ill get it there...

Slippercream · September 17th, 2007, 10:13 PM

Shit, all's y'alls rides izz pImP compared to mine!

As much talk that I do on these boards I'm holding off on major mods until I know I can afford the stuff that's "right" for me. I dunno

I guess I'm just really picky.

Funny thing is, I never posted much pics of the 3G either, coz it was never "ready", in my eyes. Your cars look great! All 31 flavors!

hu? apparently the "31 flavors" was over my head... i just ordered my Cold Air Intake... Fujita

i got a great deal through one of my friends... he actually has a eBay seller account and he does direct buying.... i got my CAI for $160 shipped... thats cheaper than the first quote i got for eyelids(165)... if you want to email Tony just to talk and she what else he sells his address is SPEEDCONCEPT@HOTMAIL.COM... or eBay Store - never bonestock: INJEN, FUJITA, GREDDY atleast there you can see all the stuff hes got into...

happy shopping hope this helps someone else

j-rod · September 21st, 2007, 02:59 PM

1st off sorry for the dirt... she desided to go out to her dad's house the other day (BFE)... well take a look at the b4 after this Tuesday or Wednesday it will be...

i guess polished... i do wish it was black... i just paint it... or get it powdercoated...

anyways Kera doesn't know i bought the Intake... she knows i have been dieing to get the damn thing but with all the stuff we r doing lately... it wasn't the smartest thing to get...

SO... i am going to act like im working over at the house while she is sleeping and im going to switch intakes and not tell here... she won't have a clue until she cranks it up... odds r she will just drive it and think holy crap what happen

is my car going to explode... im sorry it will make my week once she hears the sound (and hopefully feels the difference) she will b sold on the choice... and she might just say stuff under her breathe than what was coming to me...

... wish me luck
