Went to Auto Show,Cobra is Coool

chefster · Jan 21, 2009

Yep , I knew it ,and sure enough the Chinese are building it.
BYD[build your dreams] did not have a price on it, so with all my charm I did some digging. THEY HAVE NO PLANS TO BRING IT TO THE STATES....Ummmm,unless it becomes popular of course. Six thousand American dollars...Its The fO Sports.
56 miles per gallon.curb weight 1918lbs
We sat in it, my son and I, ohhh, its cheap alright. The first thing my son said was." I don't think I would want to get in a crash in this."

NOO, THEY WANT TO PUSH THIER ELECTRIC PLUG INS.aFTER ALL THEY MAKE BATTERIES.
They found Detroit, "shabby" and "blue". I was amazed by this vocabulary coming out of China.
In both our top five lists; The Ford SVT truck...nothing came close. THE Nuremburg Viper...I feel so sorry for the designers at Chrysler, they deserve a more.

Special mention : McClaren Mercedes..it's an insane Silver Bullet train.

I have yet to look at one of your threads and have a single clue what you are talking about.

Professor Plum in the Billiard Room with the Candlestick.

can someone translate this? i feel bad because everyone gives this guy crap, but seriously, there's not a single coherent thought in that entire post...

you went to a car show in China with your son and sat in a cheap car named a "Cobra" and they made fun of detroit but you liked the mercedes? wtf?

SteedaGT9150 · Jan 21, 2009

gonna have to agree with bentley...

LiquidGT · Jan 21, 2009

It really is a challenge to make any sense of your posts

dude, this is america. and we have this stuff called ritalin.

chefster · Jan 21, 2009

oK, LET ME TRY THIS AGAIN.
A few weeks ago I predicted on the Motortend forum someone would build a car for 6 grand.... I caught all kinda flack...turns out that I stumbled apon such a car today at the Auto Show in Detroit..it is from China. It was cheap as hell , but it was there.
The fO by BYD Auto..they have a web site.

As for the Cobra...very nice...my son said it looks like it is squinting..like a serious attack look. It was one of his top five picks.
We both had The SVT truck and the Viper in our top 5 list.

Ford has completely seperated itself from the pack with its Trucks. Not only was the SVT Rapture Truck just totally balls out kickass...the F150 has no competition.

BMW gets my " stupid award" for using carbon fiber on the front air dam splitter.

Toyota had a really nice tuner there.

hey BK cauley , can you imagine what my editor went through when I did my book.wooowoowoo

bentley429 · Jan 21, 2009

That makes a little more sense.

1991notchbackLX · Jan 21, 2009

MUCH better, punctuation and everything

DeVus1 · Jan 21, 2009

So to re-cap:

China makes crappy cars
America likes China
America does not like Chinese cars
TheChefmaster does not the Chinese or Chinese cars

See Chef here's the thing....and no flaming intended but here's the problem....you make a post, title it one thing, then post about something completely different, which none of us know anything about. If you predicted something on another forum, how do we know anything about it ya know?

Here's an example:

Thread title: Car not running right, pulled codes, need advice.

Thread body:

Sure enough, after the last time i took my trash out, my neighbor threw a brick at my head. You could imagine the look on my face when i realized the girl at the drivethrough handed me a chicken sandwich instead of my double cheese...i was furious. Then, SHAZAAAAM! The damned thing burst into flames like some kind of Chinese molitov cocktail, and all i could do is run down the street trying to hold my pants up and not slip on all the mayonaise.

So where do you see a problem?

Nevermind..........not exactly sure how to respond to this now that I think about it.

While it's a really cool truck, I think renaming it "Rapture" is a little over the top.

This is sort of like "What if Rob Zombie made posts on Stangnet the same way he writes song lyrics?"
