i never said it didnt take talent, i said its not a sport, or at least one that folks give a crap about. Things like golf, motorsports, or breakdancing all would be 10x better than diving.

Just cuz u don't care doesn't mean it's not a sport. Takes just as much athletic talent as anything else out there which is why it's in the olympics. The synchronized part is lame as shit, but the act of diving is pretty fucking cool IMO.

CubanJJ09 · 08-02-2012, 08:42 AM

For the record diving is not a sport. Neither is golf. They're talents

Who's record? I beg to differ. Though your record for crashing a BMW is becoming a sport...

Mr. Nice · 08-02-2012, 09:24 AM

it's a sport

you guys know of a good places i can do some 0-60 runs w/o going to the track and/or getting busted real quick. obviously, anything in my neighborhood is a death trap.

RaceBlood · 08-02-2012, 10:16 AM

okay, off to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City, sorry Lalapalooza, maybe next year...

Mr. Nice · 08-02-2012, 10:27 AM

alright so what shop is gonna roll my front fenders around here, vs and A&L both said they dont want to do it

Markyd83 · 08-02-2012, 10:35 AM

That vsrf 7 inch intercooler is looking pretty tempting. I just don't know if it's overkill

gary88 · 08-02-2012, 10:46 AM

Have to be downtown at 10am tomorrow, hopefully lolla traffic/parking won't be bad before then.

mithiral67 · 08-02-2012, 10:55 AM

to do 0-60 runs, head south or west until you see nothing but corn fields. Then exit and drive until you find empty roads.

Mr. Nice · 08-02-2012, 01:44 PM

who is going to lolla this weekend?

CubanJJ09 · 08-02-2012, 02:26 PM

Just tell A&L your ok with them breaking it or ruining your paint

gary88 · 08-02-2012, 02:40 PM

I'm convinced the "clear lacquer" stick you get with the bmw touch up paint is actually just super glue.

Mr. Nice · 08-02-2012, 02:51 PM

put a little on your skin purse and see what happens

Game · 08-02-2012, 06:55 PM
