I used to have a photo on my phone of a Toyota pickup with Mustang Cobra R wheels. I really didn't know what to make of it.
Some douche at my school has a 2000ish Sunfire with lambo doors, and maserati wheels. Lambo doors I can deal with, yeah you're a stupid douche, why the hell do you want wheels that say Maserati on them on your sunfire.

I like 'stealthy' looking wagons - people expect a slow boring car, but underneath is a fucking beast of a car. Like the Audi RS6 Avant.
Limo during the day, and can run low 13s all night at the strip - give it a reflash and a boost up, and we're talking 11s. In a luxury car that can carry around a dressing table and five people.
When I was driving my 88 VW Cabriolet there was a website that is now defunct that offered to put up half the cash to drop a VR6 Supercharged engine into it, upgrade the transmission and breaks and run a full exhaust package.
To bad it still would have cost me a fortune. That thing would have been the greatest little sleeper there ever was. All rolling out in Hawaiian print car seat cover, looking old and being as light as all hell. Then....vroom.

I love that shit.
Meh
I like understatement. And the RS6 Avant is perfectly fine, too, in the relation between what it looks like and what it does.
Taking a regular Passat estate though and dropping it by half a foot with superduper rims and custom headlights and darkened windows, that's hardly understatement. It's idiocy and douchebaggery and feels like an 18 year-old inherited his dad's old car and decided to "pimp" it...
Man that thing looks BOSS. Just put some VW center caps in the rims and it'd be sweet.
The drop is good but the wheels are too big and too wrong and the grille looks retarded and I don't know how he managed to fuck up the hood fitment.
ps i drive one of these myself
Plus the license plate.
Listen idiots, just because the company that made your car owns a bunch of other luxury and performance brands that does not mean that ANY of that is in your four dour grocery wagon. So knock it off, seriously, god damn.
...Though if those 911 wheels were on a Beetle I would have laughed.

I think my favorite vw group mashup has to be a 23 window bus with a 911 flat six in it that was entered in the gumball rally 5 or so years ago. The thing was crazy fast but couldn't cover more than a few miles without overheating.
One day I hope to have a vehicle worthy of entering the Gumball.
Dammit. The car is not technically a clunker. 1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme sedan, with the 3.1 V6 in fair condition, 200K miles. KBB says not a clunker, not eligible.

do a jeremy and turn the engine into an artistic table
The problem is, we actually need two cars, and if we are not going to get anything at all for this one (the other one is a 2008 Honda Fit, which we owe way too much on), we're stuck with this one until we need a new car. Maybe we will go car-shopping again after we get our finances in order, but we really want to start saving so we can buy a house.

maaaaaan no-one should take out a loan on a car unless it is just to top it off, and no-one ever really has an excuse to buy a new car unless they are really well and able to afford it

I know a stereotypical douchebag who took out a loan for a BMW, then $7 000 extra to sikk it out
big stupid rims and poorly wired soundsystem and such, thought he was king shit
totalled within the month
do you think he used any of that money for comprehensive car insurance?

I want a new car and can afford it, but man I feel so guilty because my current car is fine.
I never get things just because I want them, I have to need them first. X1000 when things are expensive...

I'd say make a blender out of it but mehh it's only a V6.

Anyone drive a Suzuki SX4? I'm looking at getting a 2009 one because the local dealership is reputable, I don't have the cash for big payments and I want all-wheel drive.

SO BROS, I went out today to drive some cars! It was pretty OK.
The Chevy dealership was horrible. The salesman who we got might have been literally retarded. He reminded me strongly of Gil from the Simpsons, basically begging me at every turn not to shut him down.
The two top cars right now are the Focus, which is more expensive but is obviously a pretty nice car. It was pretty fun to drive, I thought, and it is worlds nicer than the other car I'm considering.
That other car is the Yaris (the sedan model), which is hilariously low-budget. It is the right size and shape of an interior for me, though. It also has all the weird miscellaneous shit I'd like to have, but is totally ridiculous, the meters are in the middle of the dashboard for no good reason. It is also about 4 grand cheaper than the Focus (even after the big incentives from Ford, and none from Toyota).
I am honestly leaning toward the Focus but I'm not sure yet if I'm willing to scrounge up the extra dough. The Yaris also had 0% financing, which is a pretty big draw. It makes the entire affair a much less severe investment, which is, in some ways, appealing to me.
The Yaris is shit, stop even thinking about it. Go drive a Fit. Go drive a Mazda3. See if they have any previous-gen 3's still on the lot.

Get a 3 if you can possibly scrape together the money. IF yo are talking about a Euro model Focus, then get that with the dealer incentives.
Set the Yaris on fire. If you must have a car in that class, a Mazda 2 or a Honda Jazz (Fit for you Americans) are the best way to go. As you yourself have mentioned, the Yaris is basically one big gimmick.

be sure to leave the Shelby logos on
it's going to be precious
spinnaz are still in style...right?
how about floaters?
Also I'm on vacation now, the new car was awesome on the 6 hour drive

It is a very, very nice car. Such a stunning balance between luxury, performance and 'stealth'.
are metals prices still way up? I could probably run it until catastrophic failure and scrap it for 500
our car would be worth more if it were broken

Mine expired.
Emptyquoting the hell out of this.
So I can wait and get a fit, or get 4,500 free obamabuxx and get one of four remaining focii or one of two remaining yarises.
EDIT: I will look at Mazdas tomorrow, they are out of my price range, really, but I will see what they've got.
Cause I am.
