Which body do you hate the most?

I, as well as many others, are sick of things like skylines. Just wondering which one takes the cake though.

I stuck with mostly bit bodies, cause they've been the oldest for a while. New cars, like motorworks cars, haven't been picked up by everybody, so we haven't seen those everyday for the last 2 years.

Let me know if I missed one that you would like entered.

I'm going Celica.
I never have liked those bodies, the headlights are just gay, everything about that body is uber gay.

I don't understand what everybodys beef with the Skyline is all about. So it's popular, so what. It is a more than worthy road machine. I understand that everyone has a preference, but to shit on cars of that caliber is annoying. Ok, so maybe I'm partial. But the Skyline isn't the only vehicle that I admire. I have had this debate on other forums( hence my frustration) with little kids shitting on a car, that they couldn't even drive, let alone own.
All I see everyday is Honda this, Honda that, but I don't go online shitting on em.
Unfortunately, all of us aren't Jmays (no diss, that pimp is talented) and can make our own bit bodies. We pretty much have to settle for modifying bodies that are already available.
I can't say that I hate any bit shells, I like em all. It's what you do with them that makes it stand out from the rest.

This is not directed at anyone in da hood, so don't take offense

I agree Cabo...that guy was scared of opening that bike up. How do I know? When the camera was filming the bike, the front end was still on the ground.

Later,
Chrome...

Sorry Hiroto, I'm actually not against real Skylines. I think the real ones are ok. I'm just kinda tired of bit skylines and I'm a little wore out on people's user names being skylinethis and skylinethat. I also just came back from living in Japan and all the foreigners constantly talk about the skyline.

I can see how this came off as a bit negative, since you just posted on a skyline. Sorry about that. I give you props on your cars. I know you'll be bangin that skyline all over the place, and that's cool.

In fact here's a little somethin to let you know I don't despise them completely.

And another,

Also, my main racing bit is a white skyline 2000. Now I got nothin but good things to say about the 2000's.

So, sorry about the negativity. I wasn't trying to attack you. I'm just kinda tired of seeing them.

I put this post up to get some ideas of my next project, and I'm curious about other peoples thoughts.

Love all cars. I prefer some over others, but in general I love all cars, and anything that goes fast, but I prefer cars to planes and boats.

Don't worry Hachi (I love that name, being a huge trueno fan) I wasn't directing that at anyone. Especially a fellow pimp.
I post on other sites where all the little kiddies, who don't know shit are basically shitting on the Skyline with absolutely no intelligent basis for their arguement.
I agree that there are a lot of so-called GT-R fanatics, who are basically nothing but posers. I like all cars and as far as bits go, I agree that the Skyline body is overused, and a lot of them look like shit.
Then you got guys like Miva,(and you. That 32 is fucking sweet!) and other pimps that do the Skyline justice.


It's all good from here...... :cool:

BTW: my third car was an 85 corolla GT-S (back in the early 90's). I kick myself in the ass every day for selling it.

i found that the R32 and R34 skylines are bad for my track racing, they tend to flip over alot.

the honda s2000 is plain fugly (as in fucken ugly)

but i love my hummers 8-)

the best track cars are the supra, celica and rx-7 (for me anyway)

Amen brutha!

I think it's annoying how all the new Nissans have that same look. All the Cadillacs have the same look, and every single Dodge looks like the same car morphed into a shape to suit it's purpose, kinda like the comercial they showed of all their cars morphing into each other.. The only cars that seem to have any style of their own are the retro styled cars that borrow from their predecessors. I hope they aren't paying these designers too much, because they're not doing anything really.

I love Hondas... well kinda. I find as I get older that they are kinda generic looking. Back in 2000 I fell in love w/ the S2000, but as far as Bit go... well basically they have been done up over and over again w/ the same 2 shells. At leaste w/ the Skyline there are more than two styles to trick out. But in my book, they Skyline 1:64 does come in as a quick 2nd, and this thread is about bits, not 1:1 scale right?

yea if we're talking about real cars now, this a whole new ball game.
almost all new cars look like shit.
what's up with all the grey plastic trying to look space-aged jetsons shit everywhere? and when did chunky box design become cool?
