HEAPS!!!! Where infested in NZ, mainly because apart from Japan where there biggest market for some reason, we get Subaru's models only Japan has, special additions etc.
That's why I hate them more, they call Muscle car's "big heavy pieces of #$%&" So when ever I see nice Muscle ford or chev we give thumbs up, mainly because we have to stick together being America V8's and all.
But don't worry mate I stand strong and wave the American Muscle car flag high!!

But at the end of the day it's Mopar or Nocar!!

I like when the riceburners cruise a beachfont or park. They get in a big line and draft off each other going 5mph-Its pretty funny but the sound is like a woman ragging-annoying to say the least. Technology in newer cars is amazing- the Cadillac STS I had was an amazing blend of power,comfort,effiency, and driveability, but what it and all other new cars are missing is CHARACTER. They all look like they were cut from the same cookie cutter. These days you can barely tell the imports from domestics! So I sold the Caddy and bought myself a RRunner like I had in school. Where I grew up everyone had an old rod or classic car they pulled out on weekends. Now I live in the city its all Subaru,Volvo, and Honda. I see a car w/character maybe twice a week. And now when I drive down the street half the people look at me like they've never seen a musclecar. Oh well, it looks as if Chrysler is at least trying to build cars w/character again(long ways to go). Fitting since they made the most of them in the 60s-early70s. CxCx

I'm glad to be off at college out here in the country. All I see are trucks now. Most of them are bowties, occasionaly an oval or Dodge. Being from the Chicago burbs, I did a lot of work on them dang ricers. It's so good to see that I managed to convert some of my friend's minds to Mopar when they were in the process of getting a ride. I was sick of seing all of these ricers with body kits and nothing under the hood. And all these dang teens think cause it looks cool, it goes fast. HA! My truck is as aerodynamic as a barn. I blow the doors off of these kids on the street. Most of them think I have some old ratty truck that aint good for anything. Next thing they see is "DODGE RAM"...the lettering on my tailgate! My buddy spent a ton of money on his Hyundai in air intake kits and computer chips and other stuff. That engine is worthless and I always smoke the heck out of him with an engine that is 11 years old with 156K miles. Another thing that gets me is when I go to these parking lot gatherings of cars. I'm usually the only truck there, and usually the only thing there with something larger than a 4-banger. These punk kids can't even identify parts on my engine..."Uh..is that a carburator?" "No you rice-driving moron, it's fuel injected...note the fuel rails and 8 injectors."

I would have to vote imports as my most disliked "brand" on this poll. I like about 50% of the Fords and Chevys out there vs. the 5% Imports. I think this poll would be easier to answer if it asked which drivers you cant stand........From my experiences, I would say that about 40% of the Ford and Chevy fans are jerks that believe their cars are the fastest, bad-est, most unique, street machines on the planet. Dont get me wrong, there are loads of Ford and Chevy people that aren't arrogant and fun to have conversations with. As for the import people, I cant stand 90% of them. The only thing they are good at is running their mouths and constantly try to downgrade everything that isnt there brand. Im currently in college and I have to deal with these morons on a daily basis. How can someone think their 15 grand sardine can, that runs 16's, is a gift from god? Im not saying that all import people are dumbasses, im just saying that 90% of them are. To be fair, I have to comment on us Mopar people(Yes...Im including myself), I would say that 60% of us are good people, but I will add that about 25% are pure a$$holes that act just like the Ford, Chevy, AND Import people.....theres my rant, thanks for reading it....

HHHMMMMMMMMMMMM my cars worst enemy

I will say a hummer. They are stupidly huge, seat 4 people and can run over a small building in a single bound. At least I know that even my slant 6 dart can out run one, until I run out of gas. Only two kinds of people buy one of those thing, Mr mid life crisis or Mr only got a little johnson in my pants and I need to compensate for it. I look at it this way If I get beat on the street by a ricer with a super twin turbo, VTEC ,nitro burning ,NOSSS (say it don't spell it out) injected, fart piped, plastic mobile, I will just replace the two plug wires I took off prior to the race and run them again. Now if a hummer catchs up to me,(remember I ran out of gas) They will run me over and squish me to death and I won't ever be able to race again.

With the Hummers size, most likely it will run out of gas before your slant 6 does ... LOL!!

Yea, you are right

I was just having that fear because I ran my dart extremely low on gas for for the long winter storage.

Here is two more to add to the poll, maybe three

(1) The Bozo that likes running keys down the sides of peoples cars.

(2) the knucklehead that likes to park super close and slam his door into yours.
Those people are ten times scarier than any rice, ford or chevy, But not as scary as a Blonde in an SUV barreling up behind you at the stop light while she is talking on a cell phone, putting on her make up, and reading her Vouge magazine at the same time.
I'd say those are also my cars enemies.

Default Riding Politicians

I have riden politicians before, very very unreliable, bumpy ride, no control, and all the controls are mis-labeled, turn on headlights the stereo comes on etc.. the only time it works correctly is when you put change in the ashtray

believe it or not guys we have the same problem in the backwoods of Ms.lol
Ricers that think they are the sh***. sound like pi**ed of bumble bee's going down the road. No threat, but I decided to play a little trick on the "fast and furious" clan. Try dropping a 383 magnum in a mazda rx7. They think it's just another ricer till it's drag time. then they get to experience humillity at the hand of MO__PAR

Naaaa-dont waste a good motor on something like that,besides those rotory engines do pretty well as is.Why not dump it in a D-50 or early dakota instead?Dart 8 3/4 diffs are almost a bolt in swap too.

Or an old Rampage with Ma Mopar's V8 k-member. To them, it will look like a ricer, but they will be in for a rude awakening!

the rx7 is just a temporary resting place. wasn't worried about the body. Hell I picked it up for $100 running. what did I have to loose? couple hundred a 1/4 to gain even when they sprayed the nos they couldn't catch up. Thinking possibly about transplant for my '97 Dakota now.

Default The ricey cars are like a mosquito on bull moose's but.

Paying any attention to them at all gives them way more attention than they deserve.

As for those Chevy guys. Hey, Earnhardt is dead and Jr. ain't Jesus!! Get over it. Though Jr. sure seems to have some darn big horshoes in his pocket.
Petty won 7 titles too!! He did it when stock cars were pretty darn STOCK. I don't think he did it by wrecking people on purpose either. The funny thing is, watching some of the older races in Earnhardt's early years, the fans just hated him. Not to take anything away from Earnhardt since the skill level needed is greater now that the cars are all the same.

The Chevy friends I have always seem to have to cut down Mopars whenever they can. Hey, I love Corvettes and have had a couple. I like the old Shoeboxes too.

My guess is, it is a way to get over an inferiority complex. They are not sure their cars are that great so they have to run down the Mopars. It does not change anything but it makes them feel better.
It is sort of like class envy. Some people think it is fair to tax the rich at a higher rate even though it gives them no benefit. It just makes them feel better to know the rich have a little less.

As for Fords, if it were not for the Mustang, why would anyone want one?
