  1. Ooohh. Those later-60's versions are my favorites. and that one looks just sick!
  2. oh, and even though it's largely seen as an unmitigated piece of crap, I love the Merak as well.
  3. I think I prefer the looks of the Biturbo to the Q-porte. But the Ghibli... sexy beast.
  4. I really like that 2CV. it needs a brushed metallic paintjob, and it'll look like those futuristic tin toys from the 50's and 60's. Because spacecar!
  5. Ooooh yes, those are awesome. even when they had Honda-sourced 4-cylinders, they were fast enough to melt Jeremy Clarkson's face. Now they have variants with supercharged V8's.
  6. for a second there, I read that as 90210. [/idiot]
  7. +1 on that. The scooping is hideous. but the whole car needs some aesthetic help. Nose especially.
  8. Me: 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt coupe (new)\ Friend: 200(?) Saturn Astra (used; no longer has it) ...and that's all I can think of...
  9. this has actually been done to some extent: http://rides.hotrod.com/ride/1065174/stoopud/1983/pontiac/gto/photos/default.html however, I like your customization idea better than what they did. Anyway, keep looking. I'm sure SOMEBODY has to have a repro nose or a spare or something. If not, I say get some fiberglass and some molding compound and wing it.
  10. Hey, it's a lucky triple date (11/11/'11), so that's a good sign! Good luck again!
  11. Hmmm... Caprice Classic Monte Carlo, 1970-1988 (sad that I have to specify that) d'oh...lol! Cort | 38.m.IL | pigValve + paceMaker | 5 Monte Carlos + 1 Caprice Classic CHD.MCs.CC + RoadTrips.models.RadioShows.legos.HO.us66 = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "Nothing could be finer" __ Girls Next Door __ 'Slow Boat To China' I like the '70-'72 models, and then the later SS's from '83-'88, especially the '86-'87 Aero Coupes. I can take or leave the rest.
  12. Oh, I thought you were just fond of it. In my case, its my favorite, except perhaps the 928. The 928 was always kind of a un-Porsche. No problem, I can stick with the unlovable A, X and J bodies sticker and spoiler "sports cars". i figured it meant the same thing. well, no as far as favorites go, I'll still have to go with the Carrera GT...no, GT2 RS...no, GT3 RS 4.0....Cayman R...Boxster Spyder...dammit.
  13. and finally... thank you for triple-posting!
  14. I've taken a shine to these: they're rather handsome, I think.
  15. I just stated that I liked the Panamera.
  16. If I tried to count the Priuses (Prii?) I see everyday, I think my head would explode. jealous that you got to see a Boss Seca. I've seen a few new Boss 302's but not one of those yet.
  17. tried to take a cloverleaf a little too fast in the Cobalt. Embarrassing spin, but luckily nobody was behind me, and I didn't hit anything. And then one day back in probably '07 or '08 I hydroplaned around* a corner in a rain storm and curbed it bretty bad. had to have the whole right front suspension replaced, but of course the insurance company was going to nickle and dime me on parts that "needed to be replaced" but were really just fine. I did NOT need a new door panel, front fender or windshield, thank you Progressive. frikkin' a-holes. (*term used loosely)
  18. I also never liked Porsches until the 996's came out. Then I started taking better notice of them, but over the years, I've grown fond of them, even the Panamera, much to my surprise. But I absolutely love the 997 GT2's, GT3's and Turbos. I also like the Boxster and Cayman, but I think the Cayman deserves more oomph. It's a mid-engined car, so just imagine the GT2's motor in it. YOWZA. unfortunately, the only thing standing in the way of the Cayman reaching its full potential is...the 911.
  19. I've always liked the Infiniti G35/G37's, namely the coupes (because of course i have a soft spot for Nissan Skylines), but the sedans don't bother me; they're just not as good looking. I've always loved the '90's-era Thunderbirds. they were probably the closest thing there was to a true musclecar back then (being that they were midsize RWD coupes) When I was a kid, my best friend's brother bought a brand new '94 or '95 Ford Probe GT. We thought that thing was the $h! back then, and even today I can't bring myself to dislike them, even now knowing that they were FWD and meant to kill off the Mustang. Classic Japanese sports cars like the '69-'72 "hakosuka" GTR's, Datsun 240/260Z's, Mazda RX-3's, first-gen Celica GT's, including the Mk I Supra, oh, and of course the 2000GT. E30 M3's BMW 850CSi Subaru SVX's had a quirky appeal. They don't look like much in the way of a true sports car, then you find out they have 230hp and AWD (remember, this was 1995 or so). Subaru BRAT (namely one I saw online once with an STi motor swap) Subaru WRX STi's and Mitsubishi Evos. Namely GD-3's and VIII's, respectively. Nissan 240SX (S14A's preferably). Ferrari 308 GTS, 288 GTO Any generation RX7 Latter-day Pontiac Fiero. Ditch the Iron Puke, swap in a GNX motor.
  20. people who don't like cheesecake have no soul. :: but that kinda sounds like those mint fudge-covered Oreos they have around the holidays.
  21. Can't quite tell what that is; a Z? idiot must've been going too fast. you have to drift sslllloooowly in rain.
