I put new speakers in my car a while back. Some nice Polk Audio in mine...just speakers, no sub or anything. They sound really good for just that.
i wouldn't mind just scoring some decent 6x9s and tweeters. the factory ones bring the FAIL big time. send me some money.

lol wish I could afford to buy you speakers :p

The speakers on the deck in the rear of my car - when I had the factory ones removed, the cones were tore all the way around and were just hanging there. No wonder they sounded like crap :p

They were brittle from the sun shining on them...and my rear window is tinted even.

Do you think rappers would be pissed that when I'm singing along to their tunes, I'm dropping N-bombs when they do it? If I'm rocking out to some Jay-Z and I belt out a "I SHIT ON MY awesome dude!" (actual lyric now, don't be hatin) and he walks around the corner, is he going to bust a cap in my ass or just bust some mad freestyle?

I suddenly have a mental image of Michael Bolton from "Office Space" and Wierd Al's song "White and Nerdy" is running through my brain.

It all depends on who you're calling an n-bomb.

As a white male I yearn to drop the n-bomb, I just want to be cool and say "yo whatup my n-bombs" but I restrain myself unless I'm listening to rap.

I think it'd be funny to hear you actually say n-bomb instead of the real word lol.

Stuff it, cracker. :p

I would never apologize for offending anyone. I just believe that no words can be offensive unless you allow them to be offensive.

Only black people can say the N word. Just like only white people can be President. Read the bylaws, people.

if this is official, i'll respect it. much respect = great success.

True stiry:

I was waiting to take the orange line @ Roxbury Crossing and a small group of white "thugs" were talking amongst themselves nig--- this nig--- that, a big black fellla turned around and stated "yo you ain' no awesome dude you f----- whitey! One of the white guys sizes the black dude up and looks to start something. Meanwhile, I am moving as far away as I can, thank god my train is approaching. Black dude notices some fellow blacks coming down the stairs to wait for the train and calls to them saying that the white guys starting something. 4 big black men approached, as my train approached. They didnt get on the train but instead surrounded the white group. i got the fuck outta there.

Are you black? No? Then you are a racist!

Pretty obvious to me. Anyone who says anything bad about black people is a racist. Any questions?

It depends on the person. Some people will get offended (OH NO HE DIDN'T); others probably don't mind.
