Subtitles

Was watching Top Gear (yeah, again) the other day and I was given some subtitles that appears to be like French. Nothing special about that, well, after all even if they can't build cars, they still deserve the rights to watch Top Gear.

Just after that I opened up the Best Motoring file and stared at this bunch of Japanese for half an hour with no idea on whatsoever they were talking about. Heck! Where are the bloody subtitles now when you need them?! Damn, I need to learn Japanese..



Now, the McLaren Mercedes SLR 722.. Never really liked it despite the fact that I drool over most SLR's. It's the boy racer bits in it that spoiled the car's elegance and made it looked like the Queen of England dressed up like Avril Lavigne. It's those smoked headlights, that carbon fiber lip that doesn't fit and that colour that couldn't decide if it wants to be grey or silver. There's just some sort of "bug" in it that made me hate that car. Little bits that are there, but just couldn't tell exactly what they are.

Until this came along..The Satin Black SLR 722. The colour just somewhat gobbled up all the bugs. The smoked headlights now fit perfectly, that carbon fiber lip blended into the car, and that Tristar logo shines once again, showing that this car means business. It made it looked like a car that will cast fear upon the streets. A car that people will run for cover upon seeing. A stealth bomber, on wheels.

Mind you not all cars fits that colour. An example is the Hamann F430:
This shows that not all aftermarket kits improves the car. Keep in mind those with ultra big spoilers on the back, in front, and by the side of their car. Those with racing stripes and stickers that contradict each other saying Mugen, MMC, MIVEC and V-TEC at the same time. Not everything aftermarket is good, mind you. Those saying it's your car and your money, you're right. It IS your car. It IS your money. And it is also an incentive for me to call you a dumbass.
