The tuner scene was always more than 90 percent broke kids with more ambitions than money, and poor taste to boot. I don’t think that diminishes those who did tuning well. It’s just the way things were. And just because the kids were wack, doesn’t mean they weren’t still part of the scene. 

Yeah, and when the first F&F movie came out, those things were synonymous with the pejorative “ricer.” 

Yeah, I wonder the same thing.

Probably so. There just doesn’t seem to be as much of a tuner scene as there used to. 

Janky mods are actually pretty period-correct for the tuner scene back then.

VTEC kicked in, yo.

Movie me would.

DC2-R, all day, everyday, and twice on Sundays.

I know I know I know these movies aren’t supposed to be realistic in any way, but that jump part I always thought was a level of stupid beyond the typical F&F stuff. If I entered a race like that and the big surprise at the end was the dickhole who arranged it essentially destroyed my car with six figures worth of…

There is an option for “most direct route.” At least there used to be.

Mustang.

If it were my money, I’d buy something vintage and historically somewhat significant. Maybe an XK140C OTS, or something along those lines.

I’ll take mine with the 7.3 gasser. 

Longevity. The 7.3 was designed for commercial applications, and should last a very long time in an relatively lightweight passenger truck. 

How the hell is this fuckwit that close to being PM? 

Reminds me of Rick Simon’s Power Wagon. 

I’d take any of them, including the Blazer. But if I have to pick? Ramcharger. I see fewer of them than the other two. 

I guess I should stock up on board shorts now, then. I’m not wearing plum smugglers.
