    How long before these tall exhaust pipes make it over to the states? :D

    Some of those cars are really cool looking ~ I like the whole Japanamation trip.

    Some cars do look very nicely done. The blue 300Z instantly comes to mind

    The part I dont get is what appears to be the new fad. Alot of cars sported large front chin spoiler extended well over 5 feet in front of the vehicle and fender flares that look like they came straight off a Nissan Frontier pickup. I'm only 24 so I know I cant be too old to understand or anything like that. I'm a part of there generation....yet I still dont understand this.

    And then there are those exhaust pipes that looked like the came right off of John Force's funny car.........

    first 20 inch rims.......now 20 foot tailpipes.

    God, that is damned ugly. Anyone who does that to a perfectly good car should be shot through the kneecaps, drawn and quartered and while still alive, given a nice saltwater bath.....

    Those exhaust pipes are horrendous.

    bama, are you still here?? Haven't seen you in awhile. I still think they should downsize the size of our newer carriers, and use one of our BB's in the Fleet as the centerpiece of a battlegroup, after more tech upgrades.

    Good to see you, man. Politics ain't everything! ;)

    And god, is that an butt-ugly car!

    That's the first thing I thought. They all look fake to me.

    Is that a Dallas Cowboys-inspired star on the spoiler on that green car?

    I've been busy.......very busy. I've got a new biz (a garage, what else?) and I'm only a part-time sports writer now. And yes, I missed you too, Deckard. I'm still shocked the Rox choked, but cripes, Yao and T-Mac can't do it by their lonesome. The kids are dragging me all over God's Earth. Tampa has been great, except for the fact that sexual predators are more numerous here than damn mayflies. And damn.....those are some butt-ugly cars. Maybe we'll see them in Fast and the Furious 3? Maybe Ice Cube will take another Vin Diesel role? Ha!

    Maybe they're waiting for GM to apologize for the Pontiac Aztec and for Ford to apologize for 15+ years of Mustang Hatchbacks...
