These Fancy Cars From THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4 Got Nothing On My Pacifica!!
Merrick here...
Images of some rides (that's a jiggy term for "vehicles") from the new THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS film have made it onto a blog.
I think this one is pretty funny. Did these guys just steal an oversized TV that didn't fit into their trunk? Or, is this TV set up so the people behind the car can watch shows while driving?

Not the cars, but what those boyracers do to the bodies.
-
Not a Sony or Samsung?? NO class.
-
...gigantic rear bumper cover, and flame stickers everywhere. As if that makes the car go faster.
You never see people with STIs and Evos, or Shelbys and SRTs, or Masteratis and Corvette Z06s doing that. -
And look at that blue one in the background. Yeah, that'd work here in London with all the speed bumps...

WHO just pour money into their car. For no fucking reason. There is no reason to have anything nicer then like a BMW in the states. You can't speed anywhere its all just gay. Fucking cars are gay. I ain't no whiny fuck with a shitty car, I have an 02 SAAB thats awesome, but i fucking hate it because I can never go as fast as I should be allowed to go. Fucking traffic monkeys, worthless waste of money.

4 Fast 4 Furious, Rambo 5, Bourne 4, Transporter 3. Sequel is currently a word I like hearing.

When Wile E. Coyote is driving in front of the Roadrunner he'll put on a video of a brick wall, but then the Roadrunner will whip out a remote and change the channel to an open road and run into the television through the screen. Coyote will pull over, look at the screen, which will then change into a boxing match and the boxer will come out of the screen and punch him.meep!-meep!

An excellent explanation, though I think the coyote would just end up crashing into the tv and then fall off the cliff.

arent those tv's sort of fragile?
by lloyd bonafide the korean war veteran
where frantic driving would ruin them? LAME!!!

This looks like a mexican put this low riding POS together and stole a tv from wal-mart and threw it in the trunk.
Fast and the Furious needs to get back to the basics and stop putting these stupid ass cars in the show with flashy paint, and make a bunch of 1000 hp nut scramblers and blow ferrari's out of the water. Tokyo Drift all they did was put a bunch of slutty asians in school girl skirts next to cars, and a bunch of stupid ass kids with too much money ready to lose their ride.
It's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car. True enough ehh? You can have your grandmothers cadillac and smoke these guys in their asian turd rockets.. and worse off throwing in the latino stupid ass low riding element which nobody but retards would do. You want to know why they make low-riders? Because they know they will never be up top with the big boys! -
Go Speed, Go!
-
and 2 prostitutes in the trunk
-
cuz its the 4th? Like, 1 was about winning, 2 was about tools, 3 was about Bruce Lee, and 4 should be about Motorcross. 5 will be about Robocop. 6 = man bear pig in suit.
-
I never understood the principle whereby you can take what is clearly a chick-car, and by painting some mettalic flakes and putting some purple tail lamps on it, suddenly its NOT a chick-car?
Sorry but every vehicle in that series of photos was something a man should never be driving. -
Dude, who fucking cares?
-
yep. i said it.
-
It's for middle aged moms that dont wanna be seen in a minivan so this is the alternative...but them buying the Pacifica en masse makes it just as uncool as a minivan.
-
Stupid morons
-
though it is dolled up like a $5 Kansas city whore
-
AWESOME!!!
-
I can't keep them straight.
-
and they spinnin niqqar they spinnin!!!!!

I can't believe how obnoxious this whole "scene" has gotten. I'm from Scottsdale Az, home of white kids with too much money, and I see a lot of cars like this out and about. Most of the time they are broke down with some dude out there putting a tire back on or putting out a fire in their trunk from hydraulics. Personally I think it's gone too far and become dangerous, although I am marginally guilty myself. I drive an 05 MB c class w/19" wheels, a performance suspension and a stereo w/a tv in the dash. while that may not be anywhere near the same scale as these freakish road hazards it still draws ire from my wife, she'd rather I spent that money on her =D
these morons drive around like they built and own the roads. Most of them that I see are barely old enough to drive, let alone have the knowledge or experience to actually know how to handle several thousand pounds of steel while traveling at high speeds.

They make us comic book geeks look like Brad mothafuckin' Pitt, yo.

what was the third one
-
First quint talking about 'my man Barack' and now this-- just call it a fucking car if you feel the need to derisively translate a term everyone and their 90-year-old aunt has heard by now.
-
Isn't the street racer craze dead yet? I thought all the kids who swore UP AND DOWN that "Fast and the Furiously Ridiculous" was the best movie ever made had outgrown that by now.
-
Get off it. If you've ever rolled past one of the Lowrider conventions at the L.A. convention center, you don't feel too bad about stereotyping this culture. Why not? People stereotype comic book geeks like me just as much!
-
Cause cars really need 10 plasma TV's in them.
-
Where Megatron cant even turn into a gun anymore. Where every single little thing is called racist. LAME and counterproductive. Lets use that word for issues that really deserve its use rather than diluting it.

In this world full of people who can't be bothered to sit still for two hours in a darkened movie theater, SONY presents the first drive-by theater. For those who like their movies on the go.

Stupid. If I want to see cars I will go to a car show. If I want to see retards in plastic cars with 4 cylinder engines and 10" exhaust pipes I will look down the street at the kid who can't get any, and has the race wing to keep his metro on the ground. Is this sponsored by rice a roni? Looks a like a San Francisco treat. "In other words gay"

Just when you thought wiggers couldn't get more annoying...
by cletus van damme
...thanks, Vin Diesel! Thanks, Paul Walker!
Uh...no thanks, Michelle Rodriguez. -
"You know, it's like a n----- only white!" We all know you're bigots, why don't you just come out and say the n word like you want to so we can watch you get your ass beat.
I swear, it's the fuckin late '80s all over again. Ignorant bastards everywhere you look and if you call them a racist you're being "too PC." You know, there's a difference between taking the cursing out of DIE HARD (stupid) and telling a guy he's an asshole for making racist comments (common sense).
And by the way, "this whole scene has gone too far"? Is that a joke? The "whole scene" was ridiculous when the first movie came out. That's why they're so enjoyable. I still think they need Lucas Black in this one though. But maybe I'm being too PC. -
I mean like late 60's, early 70's muscle cars. Eleanor ('67 Shelby Mustang GT 500), Camaro, Vin's Charger from the first one, Chevelle SS, maybe a Barracuda and so on and so on and so on. Make it so.
-
a bunch of jackasses on here. I had no idea people still called cars rice burners or things like that.
-
In cars.

Its a source of pride for us, shows where we CAME FROM YO! Sounds dumb YO.

"nigger" every five seconds, then I see no problem with people on AICN using the term "wigger" to describe white people without a clue about their own racial background.
This isn't a "white purity" rant. Hell, I'm not really that white; I'm Native American and Welsh. However, Vern getting all pissy about the use of the word "wigger" -- as if it's a racist comment. It's not. It may be a form of bigotry (against an ersatz culture) but it's not racist (a prejudice against another racial group). Disliking someone because they pose and act like something they're not isn't racism, Vern.
Don't you dare preach at me about it, either. I'm knee-deep in Black culture. I prefer to date African American women, but don't discriminate based on race. I've lived in Detroit, Michigan and other predominantly Black cities. I am not some middle-class white kid who doesn't get it. I'm here to tell you, Mr. Vern, that there are plenty of wiggers who CLAIM that term, and are proud of it. Still more want to be called "nigga" because it legitimizes their cosplay-- And that's what a lot of this is: Cosplay. This is a lot of white, middle-class and lower middle-class kids dressing like the gangstas they see on television, and pretending they're "from the `hood" when they're really from the burbs. As a white-skinned guy who has spent plenty of time hanging around African Americans, I can tell you that people have a lot more respect for me and my tendency to NOT "act Black" or "dress Black" and be myself, than they do for the little wannabes who play-act like they're ghetto.
I use the word "wigger" rather freely; So do my Black friends. I try not to use the word "nigger" unless I'm trying to make some sort of a point and even then I use it without embracing it. The difference? "wigger" is a word that came about in the early 1980s (near as anyone can tell) and it defines people who PRETEND to be Black. It's not meant to be racist, but it IS meant to be critical of the false nature of these people. "Nigger", on the other hand, is a word that has a very long history of being used as a racial slur, particularly one used by whites against Blacks.
That history is what makes "nigger" a socially-unacceptable word, and the lack of history is what makes "wigger" not even in the same category.
Regardless of that, my Black friends DO use the word "nigger" quite a bit. I do not, because it's a totally different word with a totally different etymology. The meaning is WAY different than that of the word "wigger".
"Wigger" is critical of a clique, not a race. It's no different than the words "geek", "nerd", or "jock" -- it's a descriptor that DOES borrow from a far worse word, but is NOT that word in and of itself.
I'm sure you're having a hard time reading this, Vern, since you're WAYYYY UPPP THERRRE on a horse that's so inexplicably high that you probably need a cherrypicker to reach it, but consider this before you attack people for their use of particular words: You're no better. YOU use words that are intended to be insulting, deprecating, or diminishing. Don't deny it. I've been reading your reviews for ages, and you're quite fond of being snarky. In your attempts at snark and wit, you giggle at other groups of people who strike you as odd or unusual.
Your bully pulpit is facing the wrong way, Vern. You should be including yourself in your accusations.
And let me say this one more time-- A wigger is not "like a n----- only white!", and if that's what you think, then you're pretty woefully ignorant of what goes on in the world around you. A wigger is "a white person who thinks acting like the worst of the African American stereotypes will make him popular and allow him to escape his own mundanity." And there is a BIG difference, my friend.
One is hating Black people. The other is hating white people who perpetuate the negative image of Black people. If you can't see that the latter is worthy of ridicule, then you can just hand in your sense of humor and report to the William S. Burroughs school of dry, unfunny, holier-than-thou wit.
And yes, the whole scene is ridiculous. That's why people ridicule it and use the proper terms.
By the by-- "ricer" and "rice rocket" do not come from the idea of making fun of Asian PEOPLE. They're criticisms of the origin of the cars used in these modifications; All cheap Asian import cars. And there's not a thing wrong with using the term "rice" to describe something Asian, as long as American white people are A-OK with being "Apple Pie" all the time. -
we've already lost "fag", and I'm upset about that

One: Man bear pig references outside of a South Park or Al Gore related talkback are about as stupid as the internet gets. It wasn't that funny to begin with (in fact, it was pretty goddamn stupid) and inserting in discussions that have NOTHING to do with it makes not only you deservedly look like a chode, but undeservedly, all South Park fans. So let it go. Two: Fast and the Furious blows, always has. Is there really nothing better in the world of cinema to talk about than this dreck?
-
Ok it sucks gas and looks like some trees got really mad at it but it gets me to work and back, which is good because that's the only time i drive it. Oh and i agree that it would be nice to fit Lucas Black in there somewhere.
-
the "Bloody" smile won me over.
-
WTF? I'm still curious what the title of the film will be. FASTEST...?
-
It's gonna be titled like this: 'The 4ast and the 4urious'And my nigga Ludicrous will pronounce it rightly in his song so y'all can follow what he sez...
-
Vin and Paul came back for a paycheck. And you would too.
-
Well first of all bud, I'm not as stupid as you're making me out to be. Of course I understand that there are silly white kids who "want to be black" and it makes me cringe as much as anybody. I encounter plenty of them, as well as city kids who have started to grow beards and wear cowboy boots and want to be Kris Kristofferson, which is throwing me for a loop too. At least those other kids have more appropriate footwear for their environment.
But I also see black culture constantly ridiculed in these talkbacks or stereotyped in ways that are so out of touch as to be half offensive, half amusing. I see people calling Mos Def and Common "gangstas" or Barack Obama a Black Panther. I'm not the white man in charge of defending black culture but I don't believe in just letting that stuff go, and most people around here don't say anything. (Also, Herc never writes about The Boondocks.)
I'm not gonna criticize your use of the word "wigger" which at least you've put some thought into, but I stand by what I said. You think it rhymes with "nigger" as a coincidence? A spork is half spoon half fork, a "wigger" is half white and half "nigger." It may be referring to a white person but it's still a way for white people to acknowledge and have a good time with the other word that they're not supposed to use. Whether you mean it or not every time you say it there is an implied "Ha ha, do you get it, it's like a nigger only a white nigger." And do you really believe all the people using that word are mad about people not being true to themselves? Because I get a feeling alot of times it's more a way to ridicule the culture those people are trying to be a part of.
I'm not trying to be on a high horse. I'm just calling bullshit like you are. I feel like there was a good stretch there when most people agreed that it was stupid to talk about "fags" or "beaners" or pull out all this racial shit and it became generally frowned upon. But it's getting more and more common. I'm not trying to be on patrol here I just think bigots are assholes and if you notice somebody being an asshole you should flip them shit. Otherwise it continues to be considered acceptable.
In summary, I am against assholes, for THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS PART 4. Thanks for your post which was well thought out even though I don't think you gave my point fair enough consideration. -
You summed it all up eloquently, better than I could have. But, geez, I totally have forgotten what this Talkback was all about. We're still talking about some lame-ass sequel to some lame-ass movie, right?
-
I love how a discussion over the flat screen car has become a racial debate.
-
C'mon, Vern... we all know that "Herc" is actually a pseudonym for two people -- one male, one female. One loves all things Joss Whedon, the other, most things reality television. (And the female is a TV scriptwriter.) Neither seems to care for shows of the Adult Swim line-up (which includes The Boondocks). Neither cared for Jericho, but was only willing to put up news about the show when it was about to be canceled. You guys know this message will probably be deleted if I'm right and touching on some nerves too closely here. But lately I just don't care anymore.
-
get to make a movie. That would be way more awesome and funny tha yet another Fast and Furious.
BTW I kinda like Boondocks often funny and interesting views of modern PCness. Love Futurama, and their Anime. Can lie without the rest of Adult Swim. -

that was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen vern
by troutpencil
I've seen white people do and say weirder shit than I thought possible regarding race and "bigotry" but I've never seen anyone EVER get offended at "wigger," except for as a "highschool stereotypes are unfair" type thing. I sent your comment to several people I know and they were all shocked. You're either totally out of touch with the current slang and modern culture or completely retarded. I am not going to give your "point" further consideration. Stunningly stupid. I like your reviews and all, but man, one of the dumbest goddamn things I've ever seen in a talkback.
-
You gonna say what you disagree with and explain why, or just be a prick? I would consider your point of view if you said what it was instead of just calling me a retard and bragging about your powers of forwarding email. Come on buddy, this is a FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4 talkback, I expect the level of discourse to be a little higher than this. thanks for your insights anyway troutpencil.
-
You know it...
-
...that's all.
-
I've yet to meet any serious car enthusiast who would ghetto up a car like that. All that shit ads weight, those silly 24" wheels break yours hubs when you brake,and TVs are for the fuckin den not the car.
Of course ricer poseurs claim that each sticker gets you 3mph..and the giant pic-a-nic table sized wings add 10+mph.
Hmm...guess they never studied aerodynamics. -
if any certain "trait" factually predominates a given group; is it still a stereotype?
-
Vern's a DICK. He makes bank off of writing words on a site where everyone and every damn thing is subject to the most heinous criticism imaginable yet bleats 'bigot' when someone offends his PC sensibility. If the moderators want to hack someone based on the rules of the board they have a right to do that because posters are subject to the rules, HOWEVER we still live in the illusion of a free society and as such reserve the right to express ourselves in whatever terms WE feel are appropriate. If simple words are so goddamned offensive to you that you are unable to simply shrug them off as ignorant then YOU have a major fucking problem, not the person spouting off. Middle class white's in this country are not nearly as bleeding heart as the apologist media portray and are pretty-much wishing at this point that all the 'minorities' in this country would just shut the mother fuck UP! We're all equally screwed, I don't see a Bush or Cheney posting on this shit-site so we're being equally ass-blasted at the pumps and told we need to love and accept deviant sexual preferences but not judge and pay reparations to the F'ing Jews for WW2 which we didn't even start and paid a high cost to finish. The tables have turned in this country and it is sickening to behold and fuck ya'll bleeding heart, PC-apologist motherfuckers don't feel guilty for ME I'm not ashamed of a fucking thing and if you feel it necessary to lick spittle minorities don't come crying when your mouth fills with shit and they stomp your fucking ass out for no other reason than you are white, because they fucking will and you will deserve it.
-
I don't make a god damn cent writing here, and even if I did I would be happy to call you a bigot for saying stupid shit about gays and blacks. And you can call me a dick. And we are still in a free society. It seems to me that YOU are the one crying here pal, not me.
By the way, heads up, there is a minority behind you about to express an opinion. Lock your car doors. -
..and you're STILL overpaid. Are you calling ME a bigot for saying stupid shit about blacks or are you generalizing because you're gonna have to cut and paste precisely WHERE I even used the word 'blacks' anywhere in my post. And further, what I wrote was a BITCH rant, perhaps the fact that you can't differentiate between 'bitching' and 'crying' is part of why you don't get paid for the bilge you write. Bitching is what you do when you become so angered and fed up with a situation that you need to verbally vent, crying is what you do every night into your pillow when even self-gratification turns to utter, flaccid failure. And yes, you may bet your PC ASS my doors are kept well locked AT ALL TIMES, that's yet-another sign of the times supporting exactly what I'm saying. I support minorities expressing their opinion, their BITCHING if you will, it's the whining and crying I object to, see there's that difference again that seems such a challenge for you. As a matter of fact, I spent 4 long years of my life defending their right to bitch in the US regular Army, how about you douchebag? What do YOU believe in enough to sacrifice literal years of your life? What exactly have YOU given back? That's what I thought...not even worth the effort.

looking forward to FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4
