hell i think huge plastic wings are cheesy.......you wouldnt believe how many cool cars ive seen driving on the freeway that have been ruined by an unneccesary large spoiler

I hope you didn't think I meant that that kind of crap was cool.

I hear ya, to many cars have been destroyed with useless wings or over the top body kits. Theres a Mk 4 down the street from my apartment. Completely stock automatic with no turbo,waste of a good engine. When this kid first got it it was white but now its lime green. His garage was open a while ago looks like he has a kit ordered. Alls he needs is a $1400 sound system , some chrome bling, and a coffe can for a muffler and he'll be set, lol

Hey hey, back to Takumi!!!

So, I guess it was a blessing that I found the non-dubbed first season 3 dvd set with English/Chinese subs?

That was my 1st experience with the Speedstars and I was just amazed at the descriptions that were given of the cars and technical breakdown of the different tecniques; it was like GT3 anime. As a matter of fact, I'm playing with the Ryosuke Takahashi RX-7 zip zap right now. The books given out at D1 are the 1st manga that I've owned. That series really piqued my interest in canyons that I already enjoy. It's nice to have somethiing else to play with besides rice. Westlake Village anyone?

If a '91 Mustang is caught drifting, isn't it just a powerslide??

well initial d is a very popular manga here in mississippi...haha thats funny, in ms. but really its kinda catching on. as for the dvd, ya they're high but its ok. i mean if u watch it in all japanesse its alot better than the "tricked out" crap version.

[REIGN]

People know about Initial D here but it is far from popular. I had an Inital D party at my place a while ago and I could only count on a few people saying .... why do you want to watch something that you have to read the subtitles. or Do they have a dubbed version?

I currently have the entire first ,second , and third stages of Initial D with the Battle stage and extra stage. I also own the first 9 manga books.

I can't wait until the fourth stage hits the shelves!

oh ok about initial d... everytime i go to get the 3rd stage they are always sold out grrrrrrrrrr!

[nissanguy_24]

thousand oaks? in ventura?

[Ichi-Go]

I've read up to the seventh manga book and watched 1st and second stages. I love this stuff. I was watching it with my EX gf and she was like I cant read the subtitles that fast. Some people are just retarded and cant read and watch.

I tried to watch the "TrIckED oUt VeRsOIn" but about threw up.
It was so watered down. I wish I could remember some of that hilarious crap they called speaking.

[GoukiS14]

is thousand oaks still ventura county....? i thought vc ended in the 'rillo hahaha I grew up in oxnard.... we should all hook up

[nissanguy_24]

i go to school at the ITT in oxnard. which isnt far from thousand oaks. And i dont know if thats ventura county or not, but its close enough for me.

[FC guy]

I dont know about most of you but Initial d must be pretty popular because when i go to get the new manga its almost always gone.

[GoukiS14]

dope we all gotta meet up I was thinking of going down there when I got the FD rebuilt

[GoukiS14]

sorry to thread jack....yeah I got book 10 and I got two packages of the first three books at D1

[MrodDrft]

i love the manga, get it the 1st day it comes out. So far i have all 10 that are released. The dvd = retarded. The game is fun.

[chrisfromda909]

game= great fun... but im still on the first one lol... i dont play much... havent read the manga... and i only have the first 2 dvds...

anywayz thousand oaks... i dont know if its in los angeles county or ventura... cuz eveytime i pass the sign that says entering west lake village right underneath it says now entering ventura county... and thats on the 101 freeway... so i have no clue what so ever... has any one seen a grey ford escort with racing stripes and a wing mounted backwards in the thousand oaks area?
