^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's what I'm saying

Civics......? Never heard of em, just ordered my Birdman Maybach. 850 t5R Limited Edition, friend used to have one and it was a beast 88 Lotus Esprit Turbo 98 Canyonero

^ OMG, ur like totally right bro, stock m3's are soooooo lame compared to GTI's you could work on instead. It's a fucking CAR thread:

^ Found a pic of your new tat, looks sick brah:

Relax guys, no true VDUB hate here, I just like other stuff. My first car I ever had was a 94 Jetta GLX VR6, and I loved it, but it had so many problems. Would be on the highway in a rainstorm, and all the windows would go down on their own, and stay down! Great engine though, and it was a tank, I hit shit with it left and right, never made even a ding. My buddy just copped a 2011 GTI in black, and it's not bad at all. Just wish they would up the horsepower already.

^ Nah, not really.

Hate to say it, but VDUBS are garbage, and I owned one, so not for no reason, just never understood the hype. Also, Sharpies on cars? Come on. Nice NSX though. 99 740i Current four door M3 850i (Alpina tuned) more s2000

Wanted this car since i was in high school. Ferrari 575 Maranello in Grey

That FUCKING CAYPER!!!

Is it me, or has this whole rap culture become absolutely, completely fucking retarded? I remember after BIG died, Puffy and a bunch of other rappers started going all pop, wearing shiny pants and shit, and I thought "Man, that's it, it's all over." Boy was I wrong. This genre is truly scraping the bottom of the fucking barrel, it's insane. Also, I've got love for the South. I have a lot of family from there, etc., but honestly, Atlanta has to consistently produce the shittiest rappers and followings/trends in all of the land. From Soulja Boy to the Ying Yang Twins, and now the torch has been passed to these clowns. Anybody watch the World Star Hip Hop video on the first page of this thread? Makes me want to kill myself, bunch of fucking goons jumping around in a club talking shit and flashing gang signs, then ultimately fighting each other. Give me some Illmatic, old Alkaholiks, old Mobb Deep any day of the week, I hope all these no IQ having wannabe Nino Brown's get locked up or fail miserably. Brick Squad, yo!

Lately, everyone in this thread sounds fucking retarded. I guess that goes hand in hand with all the slop that is in the streets. Bunch of no talent, two letter throw, 150 different crew repping wannabe's chit chattin on here 24/7. Graffiti in NY is beyond dead, except for when out of towners come through and show you little tough guys how it's done. Truly sad.

To paint at Five Points, you just have to bring your high school diploma or equivalent (G.E.D. will work). If the owner thinks that your verbal and math scores are acceptable, he will then let you proceed to rock an ill burner with Cope 2 by your side giving you pointers. At least that's how it went down when I used to paint there.

Mr.Manhattan, You obviously don't travel much. Katsu has done every kind of graffiti there is. Just because he doesn't do "sick burners" everywhere doesn't mean he hasn't done them. He's up worldwide, from straight letters to extinguishers, pen tags to stickers, fill-ins in NY, to etch tags in Japan. And now thanks to you, he's up on the 12 oz New York thread. Funny thing is, the little bit I know him, he's probably loving the attention on here. Keep talking shit while he goes out tonight, catches some tags, and buys a beer with the money from his iPhone app that all your fitted-hat wearing homeboys just copped. :cool:

I've been to Barcelona and obviously had a way better time than you did, judging from these tourist photos.

Had to comment on this. Spent my memorial day weekend watching my friends who work in finance (total bros by the book) "Icing" each other left and right. When they approached me and were like "Dude you just got iced!", I calmly responded with "Dude, go fuck yourself." At this point, I became the "party pooper" and/or stick in the mud, but that's cool, because they always expect that response from me. From my angle, this is how I read it: Many dudes that are into this are, or were, in fraternities ( apparently frats down south are where this prank/game/homoerotic-sport originated). That being said, a lot of guys in frats don't have much going on upstairs, so when they're frat boyfriend is really into a new song or trend, you can expect that shit to spread like wildfire within their community, instantly becoming popular with no questions asked. Thus the idea that saying "no" to being iced is beyond breaking the "bro" code. Saying "no" to this shit within a circle that embraces and condones the practice is like saying the earth is round to the king that believes it is flat. Easier to go with the flow than to be thought of as a "free thinker." I enjoy drinking. I love beer, and being of German heritage, I have a respect for beer, therefore I rarely chug it. I have no respect for Smirnoff Ice, have never bought it and don't plan to, and this whole idea to me wreaks of desperation for validation and inclusion. I mean, shit, isn't that what fraternities are? Also, it's been noted that people have been spotted "Icing" at Goldman Sachs in NY, as well as at other financial institutions in Texas, etc., If you wonder why our financial situation has gone to shit, just remember that the guys controlling the money are these fuckfaces, itching to get out of the office so they can go make their boy "take a knee" and down some Lime Twist or whatever. Fuck this shit, fuck peer pressure, and fuck alcohol for bitches that taste like Sprite. What's next? Hot Zima injections? End of rant.

Yo Soup! Those Bollywood posters or whatever those are of other movies are amazing. I'd buy the Terminator 2 and House Party ones on the spot! Eaten Alive? Hahahahaha

Drypoint: a printmaking technique of the intaglio family, in which an image is incised into a plate (or "matrix") with a hard-pointed "needle" of sharp metal or diamond point. Traditionally the plate was copper, but now acetate, zinc, or plexiglas are also commonly used. Like etching, drypoint is easier for an artist trained in drawing to master than engraving, as the technique of using the needle is closer to using a pencil than the engraver's burin.

Those Martin Lewis drypoints, wow......and Guston is always a favorite.

Insane.
