If you drove it, you'd understand why it's there.

Nah, I can't lower it, roads are too shitty.

looks good. my only complaint: too small of wheels. 17s would fill those wheel wells nice along with a good drop....1.5" would be good for that car.

17's would also make it a lot more expensive to replace the tires.

But you're right. It'd make it look a bit better at the expense of lots of extra, unneeded weight. Hrm.

I know.

It's either that, or I import a whole suspension from japan.

Roads here suck, and I have to take it off-road occasionally at work. That's not mentioning the car-obstacle course of getting on base, and avoiding all the pot-holes, surface changes, and stupidly high driveway ramps.

The lowest my car can go on 195/50's is one inch. I don't want to tempt the gods by lowering more than that. Right now I've got 195/55r15 on, but still, I don't want to tempt the gods of shitty roads.

Fair enough. But back to 92s question. what's with the name. Id have gone with Cousteau. Its close enough, but clever as the paint is a deep blue... Unless you've got some rhyme or reason I vote for a name change.

Gustave Eiffel was the French metal structural engineer who designed the Eiffel tower. The Eiffel tower was thought of because of Eiffel 65's song Blue (da ba dee). Convoluted, yes, but it's a good name. And no, I haven't ever listened to Blue (da ba dee) on his stereo.

Btw, now that he's got tweeters, the stereo rocks my cock.

So that was the song that jumped in your giddy mind on the first ride home then? Or was it during the first ride you two made alone? its ok. I know how it goes... you start yelling out random things that are brought to mind by random things noticed. Sooner or later you break into song, and you happened to land on that clearly homo song. It happens.That, or you've seriously got way too much time on your hands.

Nah, I actually thought about a name for him. At first he was just "the fit," then after a couple days he was Gustave.

Now, the civic on the other hand, it took me a couple years to come up with a name for her. (Probably because I had to come up with a name that wasn't of some girl I had previously dated. lol.)

My civics name came right to me. My first love is and will be american muscle. imports were of course the enemy. This Civic just drew me in. Its black. So it HAD to be named Vader.

now the bike... well I have yet to name it but every time im around it I think "God Damn that's sexy" so I guess that'll do. I've had the Camaro for almost 7 years and I doubt ill ever settle on a name.
