I would rather buy a $15k car that's clean and fix it up. I have never owned a new car and I never will. It's not about cost, it's about the amount of money you lose on one. My pickup, I paid 7k for 8 years ago, it now has 170k miles on it and still looks like a new pickup, I get compliments on it all the time. My Harley was only $8600 and had only 18k miles on it and I get girls wanting to go for rides all the time.
I would rather buy a beat up 70 Dodge Charger with a straight body, rebuild the motor, paint the car and get some good wheels than buy a new Charger.
In a couple years, when things settle down, I'm going to get a project car and build something. I grew up building cars and I have all the tools!
I wouldn't buy a new Harley right now because of all the changes they just made, maybe in a couple years

Of course - most cars here after 2 years are either after crash or with fake mileage. German buys new A6, drives it on autobahn for 2 years putting 220k on it and suddenly car is for sale in poland with 70k :)

As for crashed, there are of course some butchers that fix cars and they leave 4 lines in the snow when driving straight but it's all good if the car is fixed properly.

Has to be my choice out of the lot

2006 BMW X5 - Silver w/Black Leather Interior.
2004 Jeep Wrangler - Khaki w/Brown Softtop.

the head gaskets in my Ram went a month ago, so I picket up a new one, I'd always driven "work" trucks, so I took every option available this time. part of me would like to drive a nice car, but I can't help it, I am a truck guy and always will be.

I swear Lars used to drive this to the shows?

No you don't.....

I drive a 10 year old Town and Country mini van with dents or scratches on all 4 sides. Primarily because I am cheap. (And of course I have no hang ups about the size or functionality of my penis)

ALMOST bought one of those. Coupe, Manual, Black Diamond, etc...

But went with something with a little more power ;)

what was that?

I drive a Dodge Stratus

2013 GT500 :)

Had a bunch of Cobras before... really need to start modding this one. Just too many other little things that take up the time.

Wife just got a Leaf, it's pretty neat. Pretty zippy with full torque from a stop. Neat little things like full view cameras, regenerative braking, solar panel, etc... she was blowing $$$ on short trips per month with her supercharged Range Rover. Keeping that for longer (read 80+ mile round trips). It's weird to just drive anywhere for no reason in the Leaf. Not like you're going to waste any gas :P

Just picked this up a couple months ago

With more agressive rims (and maybe one inch bigger?) it would look beatin' :thumbsup

Got this last spring for my wife. A 2013 SLK roadster. You guys that railed on it as a chicks car never drove one. There were a few times I almost put a for sale sign on my Porsche 911 cabrio, The Benz is that nice of a car. It does everything well. However, I did not sell the 911.

Thanks man! This was my previous coupe...once winter is over shes going to get a nice drop and some new shoes. Taking advantage of the jacked up ride height and all seasons for the winter :)

I think people are talking about design of the car when referring to it as chicks car.

Renault Wind - cute little car, fun to drive, pretty wild too, skid well on wet ground, i bought it a few months ago and i'm still loving it :-)

It's funny when I was 17 to 25 I had 100s of pics of all my cars.

Now all I have is a picture at the gas station of my GT500 on the way home from the dealer to text a few friends. Think I had 2 of my M6 from before that lol :)

Guess I used to be more active in car forums and stuff when I was younger... no real reason to take pics now...

Now I have tons of pictures of our trees and reef tanks though :P

<--- Getting old and lame :(

A mate has one of those (laramie?) that is used as his tow car. I have to say, it is the best car I have ever towed with. Amazing no matter how much weight is on the trailer behind (huge enclosed with car + tools + tyres + fuels etc). So much power it is insane.

Well I know for certain my wife loves the looks of the car. And with the top down I like it too. I drove it quite a bit this summer and it is a car I can easily spend the day in ,unlike my lambo. After about 2 hours of driving it I am ready to be done. It's great for going fast on twisty roads, but is really lacking in the comfort department.

this is my little ram ...

Love my car. Lifelong dream come true when I bought it.

http://fuzebox.org/porsche1.jpg

I just bought a new car in october. A 2013 little mazda2. Bright green color its so cute.

Vendzilla and I finally agree with something. I guess it was bound to happen.

Anyone can buy a new car. Great, you walked into a dealership and got a loan. Maybe you even paid cash. All that tells us is that you have a job.

I am not a mechanic, and I struggle with basic things. I didn't do everything on my own; I had a local shop do a lot of the work. It was a two year project and still not done.

But now I am looking towards my next project. I wanted an older Firebird, but I keep going back to Mustangs - I wouldn't mind a convertable GT....

My M3 Cabriolet Monster :)

My white M3 Cabriolet princess :) Only one in existence with a Imola Red Top custom ordered "Individual" from the factory.

I was reading an article about factory in Munich, where they build 3 series. It was said that every car is individual and only like 3 times in a year an exact same configuration is being built.

This is mah ride:

One horse power but gentle. I hope I will be able to make more sells on site in order to buy the horse some food....:(

The "Individuals" can range from small cosmetic upgrades like badges to full scale upgrades like racing exhausts,custom paint job, convertible tops, etc.. Mine took about 4 months to arrive after I ordered it. It has other individual pieces like the custom Racing Exhaust and Quad Projector Headlights. The Quad, there are about 4 of those around, 3 in the US, and mine. Here's how BMW market's the "Individual".
Welcome to BMW Individual.
The combination of aspirations and perfection.
The higher one's own aspirations are, the more difficult it is to achieve them. Since genuine exclusiveness is extremely rare. It is exactly this characteristic that makes BMW Individual so unique, since the range of materials to choose from is more select than for any other vehicle. By perfectly combining all details, BMW Individual meets even the highest expectations: the most exclusive way to drive BMW.

But as for the Imola Red Top, a search through the entire BMW database turned up only 1 Imola Red Top M3 with my VIN :thumbsup

my biz partner has a similar M3 convertible - nice car

(i liked my Porsche better though ;) )

Thanks MaDalton, they are fun cars to drive for sure especially with the SMG gearbox.
Love Porsches too :winkwink: I had a 97 993 Turbo S up until 3 years ago when I sold it, I still miss it to this day :(

well - i think the SMG is the worst gearbox ever (besides the Smart car automatic gearbox)

unless you shift manually and carefully, you look like being in a rap concert everytime it shifts :1orglaugh

and replacing a 993 Turbo S with a BMW is blasphemy :upsidedow

I agree on the SMG. I had one in the M3 I owned.. Harsh and loud.

The Smart..I disagree. I like the Smart. The secret to making smooth shifts is leave it in automatic and keep the gas pedal floored until you get to the speed you want.

I regret selling the arena red 993TT I owned too. However, I didn't trade it for a BMW. I kept it for a while after I bought a Lambo and ultimately sold it because I never drove it.

I still have the 993 carrera cabriolet.

I was thinking to buy this car. Are you satisfied. Is it stock or tuned?

in all fairness - i have only driven the first generation of Smarts...

they are soooooo nice in white...put some carbon colored rims on that bad boy IMO :thumbsup
