Import Thugs

Maybe I'm just stumbling in the dark here, but what exactly is an import thug? I get expecting to get mugged by some homies at the Honda dealership or something...

Perhaps an import thug is a hired goon that comes from Taiwan in a crate? I'm with you guys, I don't understand the term. Besides, isn't it bad form to describe yourself as an outlaw when you're aiming to become respectable? (The World of Outlaws sprint series doesn't count as a counter point)

Good to see I'm not the only one who doesn't know what the hell an "import thug" is!

Octagon, I think you may be on to something there. I know that most asians immigrants like to buy Japanese/Korean cars, and that most Europeans immigrants like european cars... I get the impression they don't trust our local petty criminals, so they send back to their respective countries for their cronies.

Q: What does ImportThugs.com mean?
A: ImportThugs (or Import Thugs) is a term coined by founder Ken Lamug as something that would describe the rebellious yet proud import auto enthusiast. One who is in the automotive scene and strives to be unique and different from the norm-- to standout from the rest.

I feel dissapointed

That does seem a little weak-kneed for the description of a thug. That sounds more like a description of some sort of Errol Flynn-esque swashbuckler. Which wouldn't be such a bad thing. "Import Buccaneer", anyone?

(I honestly hope that people see this as a whimsical and amusing post and do not actually take it seriously. Post is not to be taken internally. In case of post consumption, unplug computer and head to nearest hospital or Best Buy. In case of emergency, post will be readable, but you probably won't be around to read it. Manufacturer does not insure post to be flame retardant. This post is part of a balanced breakfast. Please do not read beyond this line. _______)

My god, what did they do to that mustang ? I see an intercooler though. Who wants to bet it's a base V6?

For some reason, I don't feel especially threatened by those kids... especially since I have a foot of height on any of them! They don't really fit the thug format.

Now thats a thug!

I agree, they don't look to threatening, I think the matching coifs and attire give it away. The only harm they could do is stab you in the eye with a chopstick or something.

The stang looks photoshoped to me, it's a bit smudgy and un-even at certain points. photoshoped or not, it's still funny as hell though, believe it or not there are some ass-clowns out there that are just like the "yellowtuRds"
