I like keeping the car clean which usually means OEM or JDM/OEM optional aero parts. That is as far as I'd go on "body kit" stuff. Nice wheels and lowering after that and it's fine for me in the appearance department. I'd rather spend money on suspension/wheels and power adders than aero most of the time.

I think most factory car designers know how the car should look. Once you start changing that the results can be pretty bad. When your car starts looking like a spaceship you know there's something wrong. Personally, I do not think Subarus look very well with aftermarket aero parts since they are already very aggressive, adding more makes it over the top.

putting a hawaiian sticker on your car is cool if your hawaiian, but if not then your trying to be something your not. similar to putting race looking parts on a car thats not being raced.

but there is something to be said for trying to differentiate your car from everyone elses. theres just a fine line between the two.

Ummm.. yeah no. I'm gonna have to disagree on that. Having a Hawaiian sticker on the car does not mean you're Hawaiian nor does it mean only people of Hawaiian decent can have it... now, if you had a sticker saying "I'm Hawaiian" and you weren't... then yeah, that would be a poser. Having Hawaiian print seat covers doesn't mean you're a poser either. But! Having your screen name as GOOSE... that's another story all together. I know you're not a goose because geese can't type coherently.... but you put that for your name anyway... I on the other hand, I really do eat a lot...

food for thought.

Mmm food.

(I'm also a bichassbich... but I don't say that because if someone finds out I'm really not, then I'd be a poser too.)

gosh! you are an ***... not a poser.

And I was knighted by the people at Cattlemen's (By Davis), Todai's in O'ahu, The waitress at Home Town Buffet in on Appian Way (Hercules), the Owner of Murder Burger in Davis for eating 2 Terminators combo meals in one sitting, the 4 waiters and waitresses and cocktail girl at the Royal Caribbean cruise ship for having more than 3 dinners 4 appetizers and 2 desserts (I was trying to cut back) (and a butt load of buttered buns! delish at that ship! mmm mmmm mmm! )... ooh.. also knighted by the guy at the pizza section of the midnight pizza buffet at the ship ).... Knighted in Mexico when going to PAPA's and BEER for their buffet... the guy said "Este Chinito Chanchito estas muy Gordo y comes mucho! MUY BIEN!!!" The list goes on, but it's hard to type with one hand on a fork and one hand on the keyboard.

i was getting confused for a moment, cuz you were talking about getting knighted in places by waitresses.... Then you talked about food, so I caught on.

Which i suppose is good, cuz next you talked about getting knighted by some guy =x

So what happens when you go to Vegas? Do casinos actually lose money in the buffets?
