Ello OT forum ^.^

Thought I'd make a thread to see what people are driving these days/what you wish you could be driving these days.

This would be my car: http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/179266_495630208079_646348079_5938329_2781869_n.jpg
(not sure how to put the actual picture in but links are the best i can do)
If you can guess what it is I'll give you a cookie.

Its getting a nice 350 small block dropped in it soon, came from some Oval racing people we met who didnt need the engine. Apparently got pulled outta a 75 corvette.
here it is: http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/180195_10150101798733080_646348079_6160321_2094578_n.jpg

Please note I'm only 19. I guess you could say I'm a fan of the classics. (then again this ^ is an E-type concept car that is actually going to be a production car. that being said its a limited production but either way...just look at it...)

Meh I don't drive, it is insanely expensive for a 17 year old male to get insurance.

Hell cars are just expensive in general.

Learning to drive in a hyandi something or other. It's a hatchback

Ideal car would be a ford mustang. Love the look of that car.

Two words: Tesla Roadster

Haha seems i am the first responser who can actually drive..... And i drive a VW polo, i know little or nothing about cars but i enjoy driving a little bit..

Yeah cars are very expensive. Thats why my POS was bought from craigslist ^.^
My old man has an 06 mustang GT.
my grandad is a chevy man like myself and he has a 2010 corvette grand sport and...
i believe a.. 1970 corvette up in new jersey.
our roommate loves his nazi cars and drives a VW passat and in our garage resides a VW golf with a chameleon paint job.

Thats the roommates golf.

Such a gorgeous little paintjob.

2007 Jeep rubicon on 35's with a 5.7 hemi installed last year. it's what i drive everyday and what i will always drive ( For one i will never spend that kinda money again lol ) it's amazing off road and will run 12 second 1/4 miles at the track


Well i did think about the 1962 dodge dart Ramcharger 413 that my dad had when i was little i would love one.

... Shelby Cobra?

Nah, only joking.

Old as hell Volvo 850 station wagon, from '93.

I can't even afford driving lessons, nevermind a car/the abosultely insane insurance for such an automobile.

That honestly bothers me that the insurance is more of a pain then the actual car. >.>

Chowderhead, i think you may have came yourself if you had gone to the car show i went to last week on thursday. 3 cobras. Whether they were just kit cars or an actual AC cobra i dont know, but sooooo beautiful. a ton of mustangs as well. and the week before was some 50's bel airs and other such stuff. so fun

Maurader, i was never a fan of any jeep but good on ya.

I do love that no one can guess my car ^.^

Nerds do not equal classic car buffs.

Currently I drive a battered French registered Mondeo diesel.

It's a real chick-magnet.

Prior to that, I've had all manner of various motors, most only held together by rust and willpower.

As far as I'm concerned however, four wheels are only for moving the body. Two wheels moves the soul.

That being said, I wouldn't say no to a Pagani Zonda or a Dino 246.

Insanityphr33k wrote:-_____________-

Is it...

...in need of a wash?

Yes it probably is at this point.
and new suspension
and a new motor
Personally I'd say no to a pagani zonda if i had the choice between that and any other super car.

Insanityphr33k wrote:Personally I'd say no to a pagani zonda if i had the choice between that and any other super car.

Really? Blimey! I think it's one of the nicest looking, nicest sounding cars ever made, in my opinion! But each to his own, hehe.

I'm determined to have at least one Ferrari in my garage too, one day, though not any of the modern ones. I like the classics, from the Dino, through to the 308/328 era. I'd have an F40 too, as I think it's probably the most distinctive car ever made, outside of the Countach.

Though I'd give up having any of them for an E-Type. Back in the real world I'm definitely getting myself and MGB or Midget at some point in the (reasonably) near future.

In the reasonable future i'd be pretty happy trolling craigslist for old cars until i find another thing i can mess around with.
I respect the zonda, but it just looks a bit too ridiculous for me. If i had a choice for a super car I'd gladly take either a ford GT, the latest corvette, or a porsche 911. I love italian cars, but I dont think i'd want to have one. I prefer cars i can actually drive everyday regardless if there super cars or classical cars. A car is used to get to places and that is how I'll use them.

Actually my latest favorite for super cars is the nissan GTr. and i usually hate japanese cars.

I love jags in general but the E-type in my opinion is pretty much the closest you can come to art with a car (thats excluding the alfa romeo 8C)
and there remaking it which just made my entire year. That being said it'll probably be limited production and i'll probably NEVER see one in real life, but *shrug*.

Plus european cars just seem to be so much more beautiful then american cars. Some american cars can be certainly striking or intimidating (dodge viper, camaro, challenger), or they are just a bit too brash (corvettes, although i'd take one anyway there just amazing cars).

I had an 88 Fiero for 20 years. Finally sold it and got an 08 Solstice. 2 seaters rule.

I liked the solstice as well.

sad tho that pontiac went under. :/ i dunno if it'll ever come back.

Ultimate 2 seater tho:
bugatti veyron ss.

I drive a 2003 Vauxhall Corsa but want a 1973 MkIII Cortina.

If i might ask....
why the cortina?

Also vauxhalls okay, but i prefer the vx220 turbo and the monaro moreso. The turbo just on its looks and the monaro because its essentially a european muscle car with some great handling. of course its actually australian isnt it?

92' Toyota Starlet.

All hail, the crap mobile.

I think that is a late 70's Monte Carlo?

Used to drive an '02 Pontiac TransAm WS6 convertable. Lost it in my divorce. Ex wife wrecked it! Beeootch!!

Now drive '06 VW Jetta. Not at all the same!

I miss my TA!!

not a monte carlo no and D: that sucks. My dad had to sell his 70 GTO cuz he got divorced. :/

'99 chevy suburban. Runs like a tank and is about just as big. And I love it.

I can't find any Chevvys with the combination of those shaped headlights, a grille with that much prominance in the middle and the logo on it and the dual strip indicators on the side =/

Buick Park Avenue. But the I is missing on the trunk lid, so its affectionately known as the Buck



My ideal car would be an Aston Martin DB9

I love british cars, but I'm more of a fan of jaguars. My problem with aston is that they only make sports cars. Jags at least make sedans, sport sedans, sport coupes and what not.

The most aston has is the rapide, which to admit is nice.

Also
@avatar 720 Would you like me to put another picture up or do you give up?
