I never drove it either. I wish I had, since the Flexcar is an automatic.

I guess I did drive your BMW, but didn't get that much out of it. Wasn't 'till I test-drove mine that I GOT it. Damn, I love that thing. It's like using a Mac. . . just works like it should.

I saw a car recently that you might have appreciated. It was being painted at a shop in Bellevue. . . was a classic Impala, and they had it upholstered in that brown leather Lois Vuitton (sp?) print, with the same logo painted down the side . . . the body was done in some glittery candy-paint shit. . . gold rims. . . it was CRAZY. I wouldn't have been caught dead in it, but I entertained myself trying to imagine what the chick who owns it must be like.

Ok I do like Louis Vuitton but I would never upholster a car with the logo....that is just tacky pimpin of a classic car.....that bitch should be :ike slapped: in the head.

Not really a "Muscle Car" guy, but I must admit that the...



...'87 Buick GNX catches my eye on the freeway.


It's gotta be Sinister Black, no trim, no decals with illegally dark tinted windows.

...awesome choice Audience..the GNX is a great looking car...all the cars of that body style (Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix, Olds Cutlass) are classics in my book..this one is what I consider to be one of the best looking american cars ever produced..86 Cutlass 442

I think everybody knows somebody who owned a Grand-Am....my aunt used to have one.

my first car....except it's Gold. I still drive it and I'm gonna keep driving it until it breaks down forever. It's a Corolla though, so looks like I'll be drivin' it until I'm 50. these cars never tear up



this is a Corolla? damn, I didn't think Corollas could look like that. Seems like an unlikely choice of car to trick out though. Honda Civics are perfect for tricking out though. I wanted one so bad when I was younger.

That's a picture of a 1970 front.

Who told you that bullshit? Well fuck, that makes me a trashy Oreo then! Idiots! A sweet ride is a sweet ride. Their haters!

My grand father had a:
57 Chevy
57 Chevy Nomad
69 Road Runner
3 GTO's
69 Mustang
72 Dodge Dart
.....all at the same time and in MINT condition. They disaapeared after he passed away.

If I can get an older car it would be a 1969 CAMARO. Sweeeeet!

I think I have a pic of it somewhere. I should find it. It actually wasn't as bad as you might expect. I just don't care for LV. I mean, how much creativity does it really take to stamp your damn initials all over sumthin'?

I owned my dream car for 5 years and it cost me a fortune to keep running. I'll NEVER do that again.

Well, in all fairness, we just borrowed the law school's parking lot and then went around the block, as it had been years since you'd used a stick shift. And even if your car had a stick, it always takes a little time to get used to the clutch on a particular car. Ideally we would have taken it down to southern Indiana, where there are plenty of hills and winding roads.



Pretty much. To be sure, they do require a little more TLC than a Mac, but they drive wonderfully and were built to last. "Mine" turns 20 this year or the next.

matt said:

I was driving yours, after not having driven a stick in years, at night, IN THE SNOW. What the hell were we thinking?

Yeah, it's still a car, and mine is 16 years old. . . it's not perfect. But I do really enjoy driving it.

And it seems to enjoy being driven.

I was needing to get into the right lane for a turn the other day, and some dude in a minivan wouldn't let me over. There was a red light before the turn, and we ended up next to each other. He was looking at me like he thought he might try to gun it. And I'm like, fuck you, do you see what I'm driving? Kiss my ass. . . :vroom: . . . :swerve: . . .

OMG, I'm an asshole BMW driver.

The first Miatas had a 1.6 liter 4-cylinder engine. I think that's the same size as the engine in the Toyota Corolla my dad used to drive. Granted, a Miata weighs a lot less than a muscle car, so it needs less power to haul itself around, and today they can get more power out of a smaller engine, but still....

A Miata isn't a drag racer and was never intended to be one; it's a car with excellent handling that's good for things like roads on hills with steep curves.

Here's my first car... a 1981 Fiat Spider 2000. These pictures aren't of the particular car I owned, but the year is the same, the ugly copper-brown color is the same, and it even has the same pinstripes.







And the interior looked exactly like this:



Beautiful Italian car, body designed by Pininfarina... it was a wonderful car... when it ran. Owning it taught me a lot about doing minor repairs yourself. It's been said that "Fiat" stands for, "Fix it again, Tony."

As much as I loved it, I strongly suggest buying a Miata instead and saving yourself the headaches and expenses that come with owning a Fiat.

I see you have a pattern of driving pretty rich boy ugly ass mother fuckin cars I don't know which is worse...this one or the miata.

Atleast I am in good trash company.... Put us together and we could make a double stacked oreo....

notoriousj said:

"Pretty rich boy"? I could have easily spent more on a Toyota Camry than I did on the Miata. Hey, I didn't ask the valet parking attendants at the Vapour Lounge to park it out front with the Ferraris, Porsches, etc.

As for the Fiat, it was 13 years old when I got it, but it still had the original window sticker in the glove box. After adjusting the price for inflation, I figured that the car, when new, cost about the same as a Miata. Woo-hoo.

Anyway, that's all in the past. These days I usually get around in vehicles imported from Europe... specifically, trolleybuses made by Maschinenfabrik-Augsburg-Nuernburg (Germany) and Breda (Italy).
