My name is Anthony, and the car I was driving at the time was an F32 - self explanatory really. AntF32!

I'm a photographer, but it's more than that, it's how I see the world. My art is more like an echo, rather than a true representation of reality, and that echo is colored by my mind, and how I see things. To see how far this goes, have a look at the before and after below.

Mine is meant to clown and poke fun at the dawdling daddy Warbucks mofos who never do more than commute to work at the speed limit with their supercars. That and F30 drivers who've never done a proper data logging pull.
Same thing.

Hard Parker - Someone who builds a badass car and never uses it for it's intended purpose. i.e. - "Erwin spent all his money on making his car track worthy, but when track day comes he would rather sit there and be a hard parker instead."

I guess that's me. I have a base Lotus Exige that I've spent 10 years converting to a bad-ass race car that will never see a track. In fact, I never drive it past 6 10ths on the back roads. To me, that's enjoyment. I suppose if I were rich and could beat the car up at a track and throw it away I would, but I'm not, so I won't.

BTW, I don't believe in "intended purpose." The person who pays the money for it makes the purpose, and no one, not even the manufacturer, has the right to tell them otherwise. What you do with your own property is your own business.

My name is Connor, and my first couple cars were Nissan's. In an effort to poke fun in high school, some people mashed my name together with my current car at the time, 300zx, and Connor + Nissan = Conissah. Sort of pronounced Cahn-ih-sah (or con-nissah, essentially just nissan but no trailing N). It's my go-to handle for pretty much everything.

Lame I know, but better than my Steam name, Moist Sphincter.

Immature 16 year old me thought of the 2 worst words I could think of, and made them my name, so I had to listen to people say it when they needed to talk to me in game. The crude MS Paint drawing, that my HS buddy did, of someone bending over spreading cheeks is the best part. Still cracks me up.

When you cob the power/firewall the throttles, you're going "balls to the wall"-- i.e. the throttles (which used to have balls or something similar on the top of them) are pushed to maximum thrust, near the firewall.
