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?

Let's try another picture; i'll sleep on it

As for my favourite car, any Jaguar. Owning a Jag is one of my dreams and goals in life, if I have a Jag, i'd be set car-wise.

That cars common in our area. We have the longest chain of cars in the US. don't believe me look up Libertyville on urban dictionary kinda funny.

Not trying to insult anyone but the chrysler 300c is a terrible car that is trying desperately to be a bentley and its failing so terrible that you might as well murder them. They look so ridiculous and just ugly as a whole. I hate the 08 charger for similar reasons. It doesn't look like a good car, it looks like a cheap knockoff. I believe the only reason people buy them is cuz there cheap. And because caddillac decided to make decent cars again (CTV is pretty damn good). The new charger looks quite good in my opinion i cant wait to see that one on the road. The challengers okay too.

If i really wanted a sport sedan I'd take a jag personally. 1 of those older ones with the giant V12 in it that looks so completely nondescript until you slam the gas.

anyway tho,

Yes im showing off bite me

Beautiful car to drive. Nippy without being twitchy, handles like a go cart, and looks chic.

This is the car I'd love though:

My aunts got 1 of those mini's. I really want to have a go at it i love front wheel drive cars.

and eh my dad has a mustang it handles like crap ^.^

Insanityphr33k wrote:not a monte carlo no and D: that sucks. My dad had to sell his 70 GTO cuz he got divorced. :/

Then it's gota be a Malibu. Right?

I drive the car I wanted since it came out:

2006 Pontiac GTO. Black on black 6 speed. Dyno'ed out at 414 HP and 398 lb-ft of torque at 5800 RPM last week after servicing. Unmodified, baby. Love that car.

97 Hyundai Accent RS 1.5 (RS is supposed to mean rally sport? My bum).

Had It since 2005. I can work on it my self. I swear the car could be driven through the eye of terror and still keep going!

One car I would love... Skitari A10!

I drive an 2004 Audi A4, at the moment. Probably going to go for a bigger Sedan in a year or two, considering the MB E Class, or the new BMW 5 Series.

I plan to Eventually get a Corvette for a fun, weekend kind of car, but I'm waiting to see what he new models have in store for us.

1990 mkII toyota carina, runs like a tank, i swear that thing has been reversed though a hedge, slid though two hedges+one fence in one minute and been used to round up cows on steep, rugged farmland. i loves it but it really is held together by rust and prayers right now.

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

Because it looks awesome? And it's not an unreasonable goal to evenutally own one. Most of us won't have anywhere near the money to buy dream supercars.

If you love FWD cars, you'd love one of these.



I owned one for a good while. The most fun I've ever had in a car, haha.

I put on a centre exit big bore exhaust and went to Italy to Modena to buy some authentic Ferrari badges to replace all the Fiat ones...

Aaahh.... good times.

I drive an 09 Focus RS but in a restrained midnight blue rather than the vomit green coloured ones that Ford plaster all over their promotional material.

problem with the older v12 jags are when you hit the gas it's to goto the next repair shop. My wife had a xjs 6.0 and that damn thing we we pretty much gave away after owning it two years. I like older american iron but the again i am old The newer cars just don't seem to have the same heart. Nothing wrong with them but i like to beable to work on my own cars and i just can't do it with the newer stuff.

I used to work for a Ford dealership, flogging new cars for them, but I left before the new RS, only ever drove the ST. What's the RS like in comparison?

Bet it's nippy!

Pretty damn quick. The difference between an ST and RS is a similar sort of leap that you find going from a standard Focus to an ST.

Its pretty thirsty though - I get 25 mpg if I'm lucky.

I drive a 92 Jeep Wrangler with a 2.5L 4 banger I picked up on craigslist. Its cold, noisy as all get out, the stiffest ride I've ever been in, and will usually only get over 65 downhill with a favorable wind, but for some reason I love the damned thing.

After school I might get rid of it for a Jeep Rubicon, depending on whether or not I get a job that requires a lot of freeway miles. That thing is a dog on the freeways!

I have a '97. I totally feel ya!

I also drive a '93 Stealth RT/TT as my DD.

*snort* jeeps....

Personally tho I really liked the fiesta and the focus. two gorgeous cars and there awesome from what I've seen. I'm happy there bringing the fiesta to america. finally. Never understood america's love for all things boring and sedan.
and nascar.

I dont have a car, but I would like to have a porsche 944 *drools*

Insanityphr33k wrote:*snort* jeeps....

I used to drive fords until my last ranger. It started phantom shifting into 4HI and 4LOW ( randomly shifting into 4LO at 50+ miles an hours is fething scary, it sounded like I hit a landmine!!) after a little research to find out what was going on I found out the controller box for the T-case was pretty much designed to do this at 100k miles, as loads and loads of people had this exact same problem at around the same miles. a new controller box to fix this problem is 150 to 300 bucks plus 250 at a dealership to get it programmed to your vehicle. So you can't even pull one at a junkyard to fix the problem yourself.

Jeeps over 200k running strong are common as all get out, and i can find and fix almost everything on this jeep myself. I can even pull diagnostic codes myself by turning the key over 3 times. So when your Screwmeformoney sensor on your WTF valve craps out on you and your dropping a paycheck to get back on the road, I'll still be chugging along, albeit in the slow lane.

The moral of the story is Ford, forever more, can kiss my

Ford= great until little bits start falling off
Trust me i know. The old mans mustang has stuff that randomly falls off or unglues or something or other. Silly.
Of course its got terrible suspension but everyone knows that.

I dont like most fords tho, except for the fiesta and focus and there european cars.

Any american ford kinda sucks. And I guess i only really like the old chevys. Since every stupid idiot in this day and age wants a car thats as slow as possible everythings a boring, ugly piece of . Personally I'd make sure that anyone who drives better at least have more then a passing interest in cars. I live in florida, where everyones old, doesn't drive fast at all, and the rest are a bunch of retards with engines. I cannot stand that all the actually good cars are usually too expensive, and the insurance is even worse. Then everyone gets relegated to some camry or something. And then its so utterly annoying that 2/3'rds of the commercials i see are for safety features on a car that I dont care about? I never understood the fascination with safety features when most of them mess up the weight and fuel economy of the car. I almost decided not to fix the air conditioning because it can take away from the engines performance. then i remembered I'm in florida and I have an all black interior.

My car has 2 safety feature: seat belts and a very very very very mean frame.

also 944 turbo: not as good as the 911 turbo. showing that 11's are better then 44's.

I spent a few years in Florida, I don't know how the hell people managed to live there before the invention of A/C. My A/C broke for 3 days in my apartment and mold started growing EVERYWHERE. I was still finding it when I moved out.

I've moved beyond my fascination with driving really fast, either I'm getting old or I just realized how much money I've wasted on tickets during my lead foot years.

I love my suburban, but in an ideal world this is what I would have:

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor -- to replace the suburban as my hauling crap around and going anywhere car.



And. .


1970 Boss 302 Mustang -- for going fast and making people gak their pants with jealousy.



And one more. . .

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Superleggera -- for going REALLY fast.

bugatti veyron SS 16.4

For going faster then anything else.
in the world. But mentioning the veyron is sorta like cheating. We all know its the fastest in the world, but mentioning it is like getting an A+ on the test by writing 1 word.

Also they finally have a new boss 302!

and trucks are trucks.

i see them everyday so there kinda boring. In florida there tends to be jobs and instances where a truck is just more often needed.
and yeah.
they bore me.
as does anything with 4 doors that doesnt have the word sport in front of sedan.

I dont have a fascination for going fast as much as i do have a fascination for people going the correct speed limit and if its a 2 lane road and there blocking me then by LETTING ME GET PAST THEM THE STUPID TWITS. I do honestly HATE any complete idiot yapping on a phone and blocking me in because they dont have the brain power to speed up a little to let me by when i've been riding there bumper for the past two lights! -_-

^
I mad bro.

When I feel like getting somewhere in a hurry, I ditch the car and take the bike. Don't have the trouble of being stuck behind people then, haha!
