I need help. I'm going to be buying a new car in the next few weeks or maybe a bit longer. I've got a Chevy Malibu that I've totally outgrown. It's too boring.

Tell me what car you would buy if you could. Be realistic here people, don't be saying Mazerati or some ridiculous shit like that. Just your average, or maybe what you think your next car WILL be. I need some ideas.

I was thinking either a 350Z (a little much perhaps)

Or an Infiniti G35

Both of these used, of course, unless I can find a great deal. I don't want $700 car payments.

Maybe Honda or Acura...no fucking SUVs.


Help me!!! I'm drowning.

I wish I could help, but I can only tell the difference between cars by their colour. Really.

You can't go wrong with a Volvo.

I was considing this as well. The new Volvos look sporty in the back.

How about Audi?

A car that is boring It's a piece of hardware which brings you from A to B. who the freak cares what it looks like?

Or am I weird?

I'm a spoiled bitch, and you're sensible. I want a nice car. It's been a while. I realize it's superficial, but I've worked hard this year.

They're not as good as Volvo's. And not as safe.
Saab would be a good choice too, but a more expensive one, I think.

EvilGreenAlien said:

What do Volvos look like on your planet?

gemini13 said:

That's okay then if it's a treat for you, go get something like this:



Very you

Corvette. DO IT.

And give it to me.

AlfofMelmak said:

It's not my size.

Nero said:

I already have a Chevy.

I want something with decent gas mileage.

gemini13 said:

Nissan 350Z


Infiniti G35


Acura RSX


Volvo S40

And some a little less expensive:
Nissan Altima


Honda Accord


Which one???!!!!

gemini13 said:

I like the blue one. It looks like a handsome Herbie.

gemini13 said:

These two kick serious ass.


Fuck, am I really saying this about a Volvo? I'm officially old!

both nissans look nice. Go with the 350Z if you can afford it. I won't feel ashamed stepping into that one!

AlfofMelmak said:

Isn't that fucking TIGHT?

INSATIABLE said:

You're not old, just smart!

INSATIABLE said:

The Altima is probably the more realistic....I don't want to make large car payments just yet. The Volvo is a good investment, though, no?

I like the blue one too. That's what I've been leaning toward for a while. I've had sedans for the past ten years, but my little girl is 10 now, and I'd like something a little more sporty. Can we say mid-life crisis?

gemini13 said:

You COULD just get the Altima in a sporty color you like. But, again, life is short and all that shit. Get the 350Z. Trade it in in a few years if you don't like it.

I have several friends with the Altima and they're quite nice. But fuck, anything's better than my nerdy car.

INSATIABLE said:

The Z doesn't have a lot of space though. What if I want to go somewhere traveling? I'll have to look up the amount of space. See? Already trying to buy something that's impractical.

gemini13 said:

Nah. You're in the early stages yet. Just give it enough time so you'll feel right about whatever you pick. I still want a Wrangler Unlimited and that's got to be the stupidest purchase I could ever make. Besides a house.

Not that any of this matters when we're dust again, etc.

INSATIABLE said:

A Jeep

Although, with gas prices these days...

EvilGreenAlien said:

It's just money, Alien. Don't let them fool you.

I drive a Reneault 5.. It's small but cheap! Motor is always running!
And like Alf said.. It brings me from A to B

INSATIABLE said:

I think I need to test drive them all in the same day.

HowComeYouDontCallme said:

But what WOULD you drive if you were to buy another vehicle?

gemini13 said:

If you're comparing them that way, I bet a fiver on the blue.
