I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

[dorian gray]

yeah, it looks horrible....but it's the last big rwd American sedan (I think)

 

[NAD]

Yeah fuck the Charger. The Challenger gives me a raging boner though. Agreed about that orange, jebus fuck I'd love one of those.

$45k for an SRT though? Fuck all that. Chrysler prices have always perplexed me, they are like the Kia of American brands but cost more than a BMW.

 

[dorian gray]

what about the new Camaro that costs more than a Corvette?
I bet the big three sell these beasts faster than they can make them because of all the old ass guys who are willing to spend their last dime on reliving some heralded muscle car era

 

[neal]

chargers got ugly as shit in the last year or 2, they used to look great

haha, looks like GM reads RC

this could be a very good thing!


a wagon like this especially ...

yeah give me a nice big wagon ... whatever happened to the Dodge Magnum btw?

 

[dorian gray]

Americans don't like wagons for some reason.

 

[dorian gray]

Also, it's high time companies stopped calling their wagons "sportwagons".

Just saw my first Panoz Esperante

I found a poster on TTAC that I'm pretty sure is Adrian

Wagons are awesome. Everyone thinks they are all slow so nobody ever gets behind me at a stop light. Fuckin' cracks me up the number of times I've watched cars get into the lane next to me, even if it is crowded with cars, just because the stigma of Wagon = Slow still exists. I love it, it makes my life easier as I disappear into the horizon. I hate racing and never have to deal with it since nobody thinks I'm ever driving something worth driving.

I want to see this poster. It might be me.........?.............x...........................666............................................poo......................................a;slkgj

I would totally buy this car in a heartbeat if:

1. I didn’t play bass = need to haul equipment.
2. I had another parking space (I live in K-town).
3. I had extra 80K?

Seriously, who doesn’t want a killer vette like the C6 vettes?

But due to reasons above, I happily bought a WRX wagon.

Great review Jonny. My favorite is the last paragraph, last line: The Corvette is America, both in glory and failure.
And here is the biggest proof: the Vette uses leaf springs underneath for its suspension system!

Adrian's comment is towards the very end

 

[lurch70]

like the new Jetta and drum brakes ... fuck me.

 

[dorian gray]

lol leaf springs...sounds like something Adrian would come up with

so...out with it NAD. Is that you?

 

[NAD]

WTF is Ktown?!

Otherwise could be me, who knows what my other personalities are doing whilst the NAD sleeps?

 

[lurch70]

Korea Town?

Gugs got married today btw ... mentioning it since this is his thread in a way.
Ali and Zod attended the wake ... err ... I mean ceremonies.

 

[dorian gray]

WTF is Ktown?!

I was wondering the same thing.
I came up with Kelowna

 

[NAD]

I'm so glad you're a fast driver, some of my clients just take fooooreeeevvvveerrrr between properties.

Yep, no worry about that with him.

Being typecast is cool.

 

[lurch70]

I was flirted with by a 17 year old whilst leaving work last week. "Dude I'm diggin' the hair, you got a guitar, and you kinda look like a hippy!" I was also carrying 7 bananas under my other arm at the time, no mention of that. I don't know what that means.
