I read the part of the FAQ about antipoints, and it says that once you get 50 antipoints that antipoints you give out will begin to be either positive or negative, not neutral.
I have more than 50, and the ones I give out are still neutral. I have seen a lot of posts that deserve positive antipoints, but I can't give them because of this. Does anyone know why?
-Ben
you also need a certain ammount of posts
Yeah, and also; in the beginning your antipoints are only worth 1 point, the value will increase as you get more antipoints (and more posts I think)
It is slightly more complicated than you might think:
You need some positive points = acceptance by the community
You need a number of posts = contribution to the community (that is fairly low I think? about 15 posts or so)
Most importantly.............. you have to write out 1,000 times, and post it:
"A Datsun 260Z is a useless rustbucket slug"
:D :p
Welcome to the funny farm mate!

I like the mitsubishi lancer evolutions. Has anyone ever ridden in one of those, Wow! I also saw a viper, ferarri and corvette parked next to each other at a store I went to today. I wanted to just sit there and stare, but I couldn't. Wish I had a camera.
I went to Ferrari of Atlanta a few weekends ago to check out one of their Enzo's (Atlanta got 3 if I remember right, the rest must have been delivered to their owners), and DAMN that's a nice lookin car up close......small though, barely off the ground. You basically have to sit on the ground to get in...Quote:

I used to work for a mitsubishi garage so i got to drive quite a few of them, they drive just as good as they look.
Just a shame i cant afford one let alone the insurance on one!
Speaking of "Not as expensive as you would think", I wouldn't mind having a Ferrari 328GTS....or a 308GTS QV.Quote:

$25,000 to $40,000.
If only I could afford it.....and the insurance.....and the maintenance.... :(
I must apologise for hijacking Datsun's post............I was only being limey sarcastic...............but a 1972 Challenger? that is a style car..............did any of you see the film "Vanishing Point"?
I guess that stuff that is available in RHD is what we want over here, and the Challenger was never one of those?
Also...I was in love at the time, and we went to see the film together?.......
Cheers
Don't worry about it ... topic shifts occur in normal conversations every day. Wouldn't it suck to be stuck talking about the same thing forever? :)Quote:

Hijacking antipoint threads is tradition. We can't break tradition can we? I'm glad people agree that the lancer evolution(accent on evolution) is a nice car. They are really nice and fast. They are probably the best bang for your buck performance wise. It is only like mid $30,000 and compared to some other sports cars that is good. Why would anyone buy a lexus when they could buy one of these for much less. I have also had the priviledge of riding in a honda S2000. I think the evolution was just a little better though. That evolution could take corners like (i don't know how to describe it.) I'm sort of rambling here, sorry.Quote:

The S2000 looks OK, but it just isn't quick enough for the money, in my opinion.Quote:

And I think the phrase you're looking for is "corners like it's on rails". ;)
I'm more of a fan of the Lancer Evolution's rival.....the Subaru WRX. I guess it's just because I like rally racing.
They are both rally cars. They did a thing in car and driver where they compared them, and the evolution won. They said the wrx was better on the straight aways but the lancer was better on corners and got the better time overall. Personally I would rather have the evolution, but I would definetly take the subaru wrx.
Talking about cars, not so long ago while on vacation I saw a Ferrari F40 parked. Also not so long ago in Zolder (if you're from Belgium) there was a classic racing event, seen: Ford GT40, AC/Shelby Cobras, Shelby GT350/GT500 's, Corvettes (most beatiful is 7 liter '62 vette which also raced). On the track: Porsche 917K, some cool ferraris and also '30 and '40 cars like bugattis etc. Neatest race was the race with lot's of Lotus Ford Cortina GT's (neat little cars, cheap too), Ford GT350, some not-painted alfa romeos.

I drive an 89 Astro VAN!!! Woooohoo..
My wife calls it a mini-van...I must insist it is a CONVERSION van. Not much better, but I just don't wanna sound like a 40 year old father of 4 :) (I'm only 20)
Just bought my wife a 95 civic SI with a bunch of mods...nice sound system too, gotta finish putting the body kit on, and slap a new coat of paint on that puppy, and she'll be set.
(The wife seems to get all the toys.... )
Isnt that how it usually works haha.

mmm, gt40. That's my next project car once I'm finished with the one I'm working on.
I want to build a Holmann Moody GT40 Mark IV kit car, and yes I want to stuff a 427 side oiler in it too :D
Since this thread is more about cars than APs seems better here.. :)
haha, MsMittens, at least this time we didn't go off on a tangent about drinking and why it's called Whiskey over here and Whisky over there. :D
