angliagt Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 What a lame subject - I'd drive what I have to,due to circumstances- but if I'm buying a car to drive,there are some that I just couldn't buy. Why are you guys so arrogant as to say you wouldn't drive "XXXX"?\ If it came down to driving a POS 100 miles,or walking,I'll bet that you'd drive a POS (in your opinion). - Doug LOL deathtrap!

oldskoolvws Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Opel GTs. I have know too many creepy guys who owned 'em and heard the phrase, "Ya know, they're a poor man's version of a Corvette!" once too often. , the little '91 Capri convertibles. I kinda liked 'em when they came out but now, meh........ and kinda gettin' into obscure stuff but........ Crosley, 1940s American car King Midget kit car, offered from '46-70 That thing looks like a cross between yard wagon, a riding lawn mower and pieces of a refrigerator.

Every rule has an exception. Especially this one. Quote Link to comment
Homeboyx Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I would never own a pontiac ever again. That last Grand AM got on my last damn nerve, and the Aztek is just the nail on the coffin. Quote Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I would never own a pontiac ever again. That last Grand AM got on my last damn nerve, and the Aztek is just the nail on the coffin. my ex got without a vehicle a few years back and we needed something cheap for her so we bought a '96 Grand Am with 207k for $700 on payments of $100 a month from a mechanic buddy of mine. if the car blew up before we paid it off we owed him nothing. we paid it off, wife once drove it three days with no oil pump, put a new pump in it and it was running with 260k on it when she got arrested for DUI and it was impounded. It had the four banger I always want to call the Quad Four but I know that's not what it was. I'd never seek out another one, it had no style or soul but that little f*cker would not die.

My friends rabbit gets 55 city, 60 highway. His mk2 diesel Jetta is getting 50 highway, 45 city. Best yet, stick a 1.9L diesel (non turbo) in a rabbit, and get closer to 80. Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 um what? They are good... Ill take 60mpg highway... only if you dont drive like a douche my biggest issue is that i play with rc's and ive seen what happend when you puncture or damage a lipo cell the idea of literally sitting on top of that worries me Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yea, I say burn them with fire. I laughed when my grandma went to look at one. She was like it gets great gas mileage and its safe. Next day grandpa comes home with a 10 year old (at the time) diesel jetta. His comment "look, great mileage, great crash ratings, cheap to replace, and cheap insurance." Only thing my grandma hated was "it smelled funny." Personally I'll take funny smell over egg shaped POS any day, but then again driving my 620 leaves me smelling like gas 90% of the time...

r0p0doe Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 BMW's, I work on just enough of them to know….HELL NOOO!! I think I'm done with euros, I'll drive them but won't own another. my E36 took a major crap on me suspension wise,keeping up the maintenance on the car was a pain. I won't own any of these major computerised cars they have on the market today, if I can't diagnose and fix a problem on my own or with help of friends its too high tech. Also won't own anything I can't outright pay with cash, I'm not trying to have yrs of payments on a car. Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 The cars I've seen with a dick had them in the front seat in stead of the hood. If jacking up your truck with big tires is "compensating" then what the hell is this called? Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Very obviously compensating Quote Link to comment
