Frankly, the whole "Collectors car" thing never really did it for me. As I see it, that's basically buying a car just to show that you're rich enough to buy the car. With a Corvette, you're going to be driving it and enjoying it all the time. How many people take their Ford GTs and Lambos to work every day? Most of the people who can afford one of those cars can afford another car that will be "ok" to scratch or dent if it comes down to it. A Corvette is a very nice car situated in a relatively decent price range.
As for the stats, 0-60 doesn't mean shit in a race if your car can't handle worth of shit. That said, the MacLaren Mercedes SLR is my choice for overly-expensive supercar. Tight handling, a really nice engine and cushy interior. Sure, it's no race car, but from what I've seen of the interior, I'd much rather sit in that than a Ford GT, a Vette or even a Saleen S7.
Of course, if you really want to know which one's better to drive to work, ask Jay Leno.

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

You ever had to work on a 'Vette? Didn't think so. They're great... up until something goes wrong. Then everything on the whole damn car goes to shit. And they're so idiotically engineered that it takes twice as much time as it should to get anything working right on them.

Besides, modern cars now are overhyped. I want one of these:

Italians know how to do three things: Make good food, worship some old guy in a dress and funny hat, and design sports cars. Not exactly in that order.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

i'm old school and wouldn't be caught dead in any kind of honda other than a 'point a to b' sorta thing.

what i really like are old mopars, cudas, challengers, roadrunners, dusters, chargers, blah, blah, blah.

all this is assuming of course that i could actually AFFORD a car, much less one of my choice.
but i start a new job sunday at one of the premier strip clubs in cleveland, so maybe my pedestrian days are coming to an end.

we'll see...

That's my point a to point b. I also vowed if it ever got stolen and turned into a ricer that I would hunt down the thief and beat the shit out of him. Not because it was stolen, but because it was riced.

I agree. I was never that into cars, but I've grown fond of mopars.

Also, the problem with these fancy schmancy high falutin cars is where the fuck are you going to drive them? Are you ever going to be able to use them to their full potential without getting your license revoked? Ask boorite about his Mustang experience and why he won't buy one.

i just plain dont fit into mustangs, which is ok by me because they're fords. i find it strange that the designers at the ford motor co. don't care about selling cars to anyone bigger that 6 feet.

i know someone (who knows someone else) that just purchased one of those dodge srt(?) rams with the viper v-10's. it gets just over 6 miles to the gallon, but will do 170 mph and eats anything short of a top fuel dragster off the line.

must be great.

Actually, right now Ford is the only company that is designing their cars for big people to fit in them easily...

I always go to the Chicago auto show and they always have a nice SEMA display there, but I have never been to the actual SEMA show.

Ehhh... well, we have a very large guy at work who seems to like it just fine. His daily driver is a Kia Rio... That might mean something.

I have not, however, my ex roommate had an 87 that had more problems than a child born to an alcoholic. All in all, I believe he spent nearly twice as much repairing the thing as he did buying the car itself, not to mention the insurance. That would also be the reason I ended up moving out. He "forgot" to pay the electricity and rent bills three months in a row, and as such, we were hit with back rent/electricity along with a shitload of interest.
$4000 to replace a freaking transmission. Fuck that. I like my little Honda. It gets good mileage and it cost about as much as school. No modifications, though I really do need to get it repainted and have the windshield replaced. That clear coat took some serious damage over the last 11 years.

See, I can at least respect Honda and Honda owners like you. But the thing that pisses me off about Hondas is how every single one of their cars is regarded as gold to today's teenagers and every little Civic you see has a fart can and Type R stickers. And no matter how shitty the car, they still believe their car could whoop anyone else's. I guess it's not really against Honda, but Ricers in general. But I guess the rice of choice is Honda, so there ya go.

I agree, why people buy a car purely based on its speed and performance just seems retarded to me. The maximum you should ever be going in a car is MAYBE 150km/h, and even that's pushing it quite a bit, more realistically is 120km/h. So paying thousands of dollars for a car that can do 0-60 in whatever the fuck and break the sound barrier seems like a huge waste of time and money.

With that said, my dream car is the Shelby Cobra but this is based purely on looks and nothing else.

Poop.

The 67 or the 07?

What others say about boorite!

that better have a 440 in it.
or a 426.....
or anything with a 6 pack....

fuck it. it could have a base 318 and i'd still love it.

A guy has one of these (in blue) for sale on his front lawn on our town's main street. I swear, if I had any money I'd buy it :(

Just do like everything else and have your Dad get it for you.

Let's get dangerous!

crabby you bandwith stealing bitch

obscenity filter is off

Just tell your buddy not to crash his...

Apparently the driver of that last car was a journalist for an auto magazine who got a little too happy on the test track.

That's the other thing that pisses me off about those ricer fuckheads. Because of them, my plain little civic is considered a high theft risk so my insurance gets jacked up. Every time I see a ricer, I want it to be crushed by a large falling object. The person, not the car. The car can be saved, but the person needs to be cleansed from the genepool.

I think a car has lost it's dignity after pink neon and a wing spoiler has been applied to it.

I PM'ed him about it and he said it looked fine to him. Crabby lol u luzar omg

The Honda I have was cheap and I had been wanting one for a while. They're fuel-efficient but still have enough power in that little engine to get up and go (freeways SUCKED with my Escort). And I think mine's about old enough to not really worry too much about ricers stealing it. That said, I still lock the bitch up. It's also lookin' a little not so fresh because of the peeled clearcoat, but the working parts are all in excellent condition. The only complaints I have are that it's too short (I whack my head every time I hit a decent sized bump), the AC is weak and needs to be recharged again (apparently it doesn't hold that charge very long, oh well), it has a typical small car battery (1 hour is more than enough time for the lights to kill the battery, my El Camino could sit for 3 and still start) and the only way to open the fuel door is with a lever in the car. Minor inconveniences really, especially considering what a piece of shit my Escort was.
