Merzbow

Yeah I think he did. The Marlboro Corvette.

Merzbow

I don't mind some of them but I don't like the A3, the Saab SUV, the Kia, or the RL just because they are all really really boring cars.

Merzbow

Yes that's him taking delivery lol, Funny you found that I didn't know that picture existed. ken is the one on the right.I've said his last name like 40 times already Sublime where have you been? lol. John Lingenfelter (the one who founded LPE) was one of his distant cousins.His name is all over the...

Merzbow

His name is Ken. He's the new CEO of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. He was not he first to get his and his is a different shade of red as well. It's a deeper shade and looks great.The black Corvette I think you are referring to is the Pratt and Miller Corvette. Every single body panel has bee...

Merzbow

(removed)! That's fun. I must have been falling asleep at the keyboard again. I'm not going ot edit it because it's funny.

Merzbow

Yes that is a GNX, there are a ton of them around my area and they are all real too so to me they aren't that rare. There's a club of about 4 of them that go to car shows around here all the time in the summer. Amazing cars!He does need an F50 disparately. The F50 is my favorite car of all time and ...

Merzbow

It's ok lol.I was never into Corvettes until I started hanging out with Ken. Now I love you.

Merzbow

lol...sorry to Break and enter in your garage He does a lot. He made the majority of his wealth from founding the company "Metropolitan Title" insurance when he was 25 years old, which he sold a few years ago. Now he took over Lingenfelter Performance Engineering since his cousin John Ling...

Merzbow

Keep it on the DL about them dating because I don't really know what they consider themselves at this point lol.Yeah I think someone stole my camera so all these were taken on my phone. It takes great pictures but horrible video for some reason. I want to finance a Rebel one of these days. I love ta...

Merzbow

True, but there are only three Reventons in private collections around the world and only two Bugatti Veyrons in Michigan so if someone wanted to know they would be able to find out who he was lol.

Merzbow

Here's a picture of the Eliminator for you

Merzbow

He has two of them. One of them is going to LPE soon and they are changing out hte super charger pulley and re-mapping the fuel system to get more power out of it

Merzbow

I know I just posted pictures in a separate topic but I felt that this needed it's own thread because it was so awesome.Ken brought over one of his ZR-1s the other day and took me for a ride. Holy **** that thing is fast! He lit them up at a 50mph roll in 3rd gear next to some silly kid in a convert...

Merzbow

I got a group of friends together and we all went to the warehouse again last weekend. He had a few new cars there and got rid of a few cars. More pictures here: http://smg.photobucket.com/alb...art=0A few cars weren't there either. The Reventon, Ferrari 430 Scudaria, and he had a custom car at SEMA...

Merzbow

Yeah I agree with that list. From what I've seen, it goes in this order:1)envy2)Wave3)Fusion4)mystic blueThe most rare Vibe I've ever seen around my house was an Envy GT with tint and rims. That was like 2 or 3 years ago. The only reasons I like envy so much is because it's really rare and unique. I...

Merzbow

Ahh, I wish I would have gotten Envy when I got mine. I loooove that color and I don't know why lol. It would look so nice with a nice set of 18 or 19 inch five spoke aluminum wheels, S Techs and the ground effects package!

Merzbow

A reminder to others that when you drive during the winter, be a pessimist like me and expect the worst in everything and you may be able to avoid an accident, if you drive assuming you will get into one lol.

Merzbow

(removed)...yeah that was interesting and neither of us were screwing around OR speeding or doing ANYTHING reckless or wrong at all! What does that tell you? Screwing around doesn't always cause accidents, most of the time they are unexpected when you do nothing wrong (removed)....I wouldn't live by...

Merzbow

(removed), be careful with that word I'm emotionally unstable right now You might read about me on the news (removed)...(I hate winter)I do like snow drifting though. Be careful, some people on these forums get really offended and feel they need to preach to you when you break the law j/k. I don't c...

Merzbow

lol...I actually thought you've seen Kevin's car and said that already but I guess not lol. I just think it's sweet because Subaru drivers hold their hood scoop so sacred and without any concern he went ahead and put it on his Vibe and that makes you all feel violated (removed)...I think it's pretty...

Merzbow

Oh god, that noise!!! That's the noise my engine made before all the internals fried (removed)...I had to replace my entire engine last year. They said there was no oil in the oil pan??? Wasn't burning OR leaking oil....figure that one out? I still do not have any answers and it cost me $3500 to put...

Merzbow

Yeah those were the good days when things actually happened (removed)...I can't believe how bare my Vibe is in that picture! No coils, no hood, no rims, no gauges lol...wow.I'll tell Kevin you liked his spoiler next time I see him around here. He made it himself from a Cobalt SS as stated above. He ...

Merzbow

I wanted to do the bottom my my rear bumper too. I think it looks excellent

Merzbow

You can take off the tire, mix soap and water in a spray bottle. Spray down the entire tire including along the edge of the rim and look for bubble build up. That's how we test at my shop. That will identify any leaks around the rim, nails, or valve stem leak. If there's a nail in it, generally only...

Merzbow

Low profiles do not necessarily get flats easier. it depends on how you drive I've had 3 or 4 sets of low profile tires on my aftermarket 18's and I h haven't gotten a flat yet. On the other hand, last year ALONE I got three flat tires on my winter stock rims which all have all season tires on them ...

Merzbow

Nicee

Merzbow

Ha you got it That's good news. Looks beautiful!

Merzbow

There was a guy on here a while ago that could get them but he fell off the face of the Earth a while ago so I doubt you'll be able to find them anywhere. The were like $80+ shipped anyways lol.

Merzbow

Hey was this that show at that rich school or whatever? The Reventon and Veyron were Ken's if it was. I was supposed to go to that but he never gave me a time or location

Merzbow

That video is amazing. So are all of Format67's other videos...check out the Skyline one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH7DWAtFiOsI wish I could afford some good recording equipment, as I am fascinated with photography and video editing...one day

Merzbow

Ken's Reventon is going to the SEMA show somewhere on the west side of the country I think??? They are paying for him and for his cars accommodations round trip.Also, update, he did take over Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. After John Lingenfelter died a few years ago, the company kinda starte...

Merzbow

I know, but I'm referring to the people that only drive them on the roads an boast about them constantly. I might even be able to beat one around a track and my engines only 620 cc. Depends on the track. My bike weighs only ~350lbs

Merzbow

Hyabusa is a horrible handling bike. I think 'busas are way over rated IMO. They look silly too lol.That fox body is very nice on the other hand

Merzbow

I personally don't like that show simply because a lot of the cars are not worth what they sell for. I HATE fully restored original muscle cars with a passion. I would rather buy a 1967 Mustang CJ for $14,000, put another $10,000-$20,000 into a blown 427 or something awesome that you can feel from a...

Merzbow

My bike works fine for women The Mach 1 he got for an unbelievable deal! It had 40 miles on it and it's an '08. He got it at an auction for....$20,000!!!!!!!!!!!! He thinks someone screwed up because that's like a $40,000 to $50,000 car. That's only a tiny bit more than my darn Vibe! He also has a 2...

Merzbow

HA me too. I was using the wipes and I couldn't figure out what the heck was with the window fogging, even in the warmer weather it still fogged for no reason lol.I thought that was interesting about the paint shops though. My friend was a painter at Collex and he told me about that.

Merzbow

Don't use Armorall products anywhere near your dash board, ESPECIALLY in winter. They have an airborne oily type property to them. Most body shops wont let them inside the facility because of it. If you use it within like 100 feet of a car that's drying after just being painted, it can cause the pai...

Merzbow

Looks great. I wonder if that could be modified to fit on my '03? Hmmm...do I feel a project coming soon?

Merzbow

Nice Vibe how come I don't remember seeing you around here? I haven't been too active though so that's probably why lol.

Merzbow

You have to pay for the great weather somehow you know

Merzbow

I believe that spider story for sure. My ex was driving her Grand Am which had horrible alignment (had to hold the steering wheel at a 60 degree angle to keep the car straight and you could not let go of hte wheel or it would cut to the left) on I-75, traveling about 85+mph. I was dozing off every n...

Merzbow

Hmmm. I do like those carbon ones a lot now that I'm looking and you're right, double sided tape is plenty. After all out of the 4 bolts per side on the Street Graffiti ones only 2 bolts could even catch the threads. The fiberglass ones are not made well enough and the other bolts do not line up wit...

Merzbow

I like how the carbon caps are more flush, the only problem I have with them is that the fitment I heard isn't all the great because of the wavy-ness of them and also they are held on by two way tape.I wish more companies would make **** for our cars Once I get into bodywork and painting at school I...

Merzbow

Not a whole heck of a lot has happened lol. Maybe you are the savier. Have you come baring exciting stories?

Merzbow

Marathon for $2.99/gallon today for regular 87.

Merzbow

Good idea for a thread. Something interesting finally lol.I just got a massive surge or hatred when I recapped my accident lol. For one, because I was rear-ended, and two because all the road salt on my car reminded me of how much I hate winter...and we get to go through it again soon I cant wait to...

Merzbow

Nice

Merzbow

Haven't seen your Vibe around here in a while. Do you still have it? I liked the graphics.

Merzbow

Ok, I've decided to DO like the new Vibes now for sure. They are very sleek looking. Especially the GTsWelcome to the site.
