What is your fav car?

[MrcTOtheJ]

Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R

Most beautiful car ever made.

 

Agreed

[bldrgnslyr]

Nothing flash, but a Holden Commodore VP. You can pick up one of these for bugger all, then mod and customise it to your hearts consent. Designed and built in Australia, too.

Commodores are bad enough as it is, but even Commodore lovers admit the VP was the most rubbish model that Holden came out with.

...Either you misread or your're just stupid, I don't mean the stock VP, i mean a modded and customised VP, hence- "You can pick up one of these for bugger all, then mod and customise it to your hearts consent." Do keep in mind that its from from the early 90's, and i could probably guess everyone you know as a "Commodore lover" only "love" the most recent model. Where would these new models be today without progression in the series, hmm? And "Commodores are bad enough as it is". Your're obviously either a Ford or import fanboy so don't try and start a war over Holden and Ford/imports, for god's sake. AND, this topic, "What is your fav car?", means what is YOUR favourite car, not everyone elses, thankyou.

 

Also, judging by your sig, you only like fully sick modded imports which you only see inside magazines and wish that you could own.

As far as I know, -slash does have a super sexy tricked out Silvia. I remember seeing a pic of it.

Yeah, in magazines, in his driveway, it's all the same really.

[Lurch]

There's even a build thread with pretty much everything documented. Even video of him drifting it.

Dare I say, owned?

 

 

I hate that term but it fits oh so nicely!

1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge":

 

 

1971 Plymouth Baracuda or "'Cuda" with the optional 440 hemi six-pack and the shaker:

 

1969 Plymouth Road Runner with the 440 six pack:

4th fastest production car in the US ever

Anything Blastolene.

 

I'll post pics if I get the chance, their vehicles are just rediculous.

Some pretty crazy stuff. Jay Leno really modified the Blastolene special into something incredible.

One of my favourites ever.

Fine, he owns it, which is great, even though that was probably the most sarcastic part of my post. He was still out of line with the rest of the sh*t he said. Plus I would hardly say "owned", I had perfectly good rebuttals to his blatant, immature claims. Good day.

Stuff

I will say what I always have about modifying/VIPing/customising cars.

 

Modding a good car well can make a great car, but no matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd.

[Kratos2000]

i like the agent cars (XD)

like:

 

Toyota Land Cruiser

 

 

 

[Maxrevv]

 

Mhhhmmm,this car makes me consider over the Mustang everytime.

[Garfield 2]

One I can afford but won't insure:

The one I can't afford and can insure:

 

[Starion]

If you cant afford to insure an ae86, you probably can't afford to insure an e36 M3.

 

The evo's are insurance group 18, am I right?

[dog_day_sunrise]

I thought non-evo's were Gp18, and Evo's were Gp19?

[Garfield 2]

That ain't M3 It's a 316

The BMW on the bottom is 320d

[Benzoboy]

Actually the one you posted was an M3, it has the BMW M-Sport rims, and if you look closely at the side rub-strip, you can see the '///M' badge.

 

E36 316is are cool cars though, good choice, my man.

 

EDIT: Also, to my knowledge, Lancer Evolutions are Group 20.

[Starion]

Nope, that's a genuine m3. You couldn't even get a 316i in that Techno Violet I dont think. But a 316i is probably just insurable, I'd love to get an e30 or e36 as a first car.

 

 

 

@ Benzoboy, I meant an Evolution m3, not a Lancer.

[Garfield 2]

Oops, well, I just typed BMW E36 316 Coupe and this pic was the first one so I thought that must be it

[stretch.]

And the 320d you posted is the lowest trim level,

 

Hate those wheels. Look like they belond on a ruddy corsa. Much too thin for a bimmer.

 

TVR Cerbera

 

Got to be one of my favourite cars, once I've got a garage this bad boy is gonna be in it!

Mhhhmmm,this car makes me consider over the Mustang everytime.

So f*cking sexily, I really hope this means muscle car's are coming back

 

If only they had muscle car prices though, the old ones are still faster and cheaper (and cooler)

[1066ant]

The one I can afford, fuel and insure, hopefully going to my 1st car

 

Triumph Dolomite 1300.

 

One that I could afford to buy, but not insure or fuel is this...

 

The Rover P6 3500 V8, one of my favourite cars, and one I aim to own in the future.

 

One that I can't do anything for.

 

The original Aston Martin V8 Vantage... I love it...

They used to be cheaper, an old School muscle car now costs a fortune especially if its already in good condidtion, but if you buy one that needs some major resto that well set you back just as much if not more than finding one in good condition already. The only way to get a resonaly priced old school muscle car is to buy one that's not a highly sought after model, ora model after around 1975 during the gas crunch era and some times you can get a cheap price on a muscle car at a no reserve auction.

I think most of what I could reply with has been said by my comrades (much love guys ) however there are a few things I can add.

 

I'm a member of my state's Commodore club. Alot of my friends own Commodores and so I joined. I can appreciate a nice Commodore any day of the week. That said, it's also fun to cain them a bit for been pushrod dinosaurs driving around in Opel wannabe outdated boats. Just like I cop it for been a rice burner.

 

My parents have always owned Commodores, so I've grown up with them.

 

I own a Nissan Silvia, and a Ford ute, I own the Silvia for a purpose and I own the ute for a purpose.

 

The friends of mine who are "Commodore lovers" and apparently only like new Commodores own, in order of age:

 

1983 VH (350 Chev fitted)

1987 VL Turbo

1990 VN SS Supercharged

1990 VN SS

1991 VN SS

1994 VR SS

2001 VU SS Ute

2002 VU SS Ute

2007 VE SS Ute

 

That's just the guys and girls from the club who I regularly hang with, there's another 40 members with their Commodores, and at the end of all that it's a complete catalogue of Commodores from the first VB through to Brocks and Walkinshaws, f*ck there's even a VE Grange and a W427 in there, but guess what model is owned by not a single person in the club?

 

The mighty VP.

 

 

So yeah, I wasn't just been a fanboy, I think my credentials are pretty clear. I don't care what flag a car flies under, if it's rubbish it's rubbish. A turd is a turd. And like someone said, you can't polish a turd.

 

If you want to take your Buick V6 powered rust bucket and whack a V8 5.0L badge on it and some fully sick subs and tyre shop rims then that's your choice I guess, but when people look at you when you drive by, it's not because they think you're hectic, it's because you've proved beyond all doubt you're a tool.

Here where i live (In Sweden) we have a long history of American car culture. The rockabilly culture never really died here and was accutally at it's strongest some time around the 70's and kinda involved into it's own thing. There is actually MORE restored American 50's car's in Sweden than the USA (source), and I'm pretty sure same goes for muscle cars. The street racing scene is also quite big here with events like Birka cup and Stockholm open (search for it on youtube) and I'd say 80% are Mopars or Camaros. So no ricers

 

So naturally we have pretty low prices, especially now that the economy is failing so badly. A regular 68-71 mopar goes for about $20.000 and a nice one for about $45.000, which isn't much compared to the $60.000 price tag on the 09 Camaro or for the $80.000 08/09 challenger.
