and what do u have may i ask? matty ratty poo? and i never said mine was better than the tein one, im just stating the tein one is half assed. sorry im not corporate backed w/ an unlimited budget and half assed a car. other companies that did up scions that are corporate backed did a much better job
and that was such a mature response. its like me saying your xb isnt as good as the tein one.. come up w/ a decent response next time, and no i didnt get owned by anyone.

If half of the people here on Scion Life actually got to look over a SEMA car, AT SEMA, youwill know what Mike is talking about. Sure alot of the cars photograph well, but when you actually get up close and look at it, you'll be surprised.
But as Mike stated, most of these cars are rushed for the roll in, and are usually not completed until AFTER SEMA is over. I said most, not all.
I'm not taking any sides here, but unless YOUR car, that YOU, YOURSELF, bought and paid for everything that is in/on it, was at a booth in SEMA, then I don't think its fair to say anyone was "owned".

sorry i didn't know u two were such bed buddies.
i can't believe how much ___ kissing goes on here.
hey, im not saying the sema cars are the best looking,
or best quality, but if u're gonna talk smack, be prepared
for people to judge your car, cuz its like
'who are you to say...'
right?
and yes i paid for the parts on my car.
i put everything on myself.
and yes i work on all the parts, i save up and buy them.
i dont have a list of WEBSITES that imply you have been
'hooked up' or 'sponsored' in my signature.

Did I say you didn't pay for anything on your xB!?! No, I did not!
And who I put in my sig block is up to me. They are MY friends and have helped me out w/ whatever in some form or another.
So if you want to start something, bring it on. Cuz it looks to me you want to keep talking "smack".
BTW, I'll give YOU $20 for your wheels.

5axis xB is too show for me--you'll never see it on a public road, so what's so great about it...if i had unlimited funds for a car that would sit inside buildings all day long for people to gawk it--easy task.
I like the Tein xB alot because it has nice work done to it, as well as all high quality japanese parts. Sure, it may be "half assed" to some, but it gets the job done and is much more akin to something I could eventually see on the street or driving on the freeway etc.

The Tein car has a lot of work in it. The widebody is something only a few cars have and I really don't think it's fair to say that the original plan from Tein was to "knock off" the 5-Axis car.
I know Mike's just talking out of his ___ here, but the Tein xB deserves a little respect. You don't know the people at Tein and how many countless hours of work they dedicated to building that car.
Have a little respect for the hard work other's put into their vehicles! Other people here may attack you just like you are attacking Tein... (something to think about)

oh yeah and i agree w/ you my car looks like total sh*t. yeah my STOCK car looks like total crap. it's not what i want out of it, but i dont have an unlimited budget to build a car. im a guy who works n earns a crap pay check to make my bills and pay my school loans..my mod money comes from sidejobs i do working on cars n other stuff...i do have respect for teins effort into building the car. i just honestly think it could have came out much better. a lot of people i know that build top show winners n magazine cars agree also...great idea, horrible execution. i contribute that partly to the bodyshop as well.
