well then an M3 or a high-end Mustang or some Mercedes AMG
For us it is a practical option. Smaller and better on gas, but we can still have our moose of a dog hop in the back. We have an SUV already...we need a 2nd car that has the same features with less gas consumption.Jay wrote:

I might drive a GM made car, and usually, GM isn't very good, but... Corvettes are their flagship.Macbeth wrote:

You get more bang for your buck with Corvettes than any other true sports car. If I had the money, I'd buy one.
Actually, what we have now is technically classed as a station wagon.Jay wrote:

which is a shame, because the S7 was a good american sports car.

Indeed.
If you want performance though, fuck a car, get a bike.

I think that is a lot of the reason for the attitude here. We had a major GM plant and everyone was related to someone that worked there.tuckergustav wrote:
B's family is an auto working fam(on both his Mom's and Dad's side). So, it's quietly frowned upon to buy non GM or Ford. But, the great thing is we all get decent deals on new cars.
We have recently been looking into our options on new cars. We need something small, dependable and good on gas. Our "best" option is the Focus...hmmm.
I love Porches. They seem more understated and subtle than the other sports cars out there.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

Remember Me As A Time Of Day
Bring back the AMC Gremlin!!!!
Good luck with that... Ebay Motors, Autotraders, and craigslist and I couldn't find one under like $20K... And that was for a 7 or 8 year old with 150K miles... Now I remember why I didn't buy one before... I don't buy new cars, and I refuse to pay the same price for a used as what I could buy a new for...-Sh1fty- wrote:
screw that
they can't be that expensive. The one in that picture is 8 years old. Wonder how it would run...
Newer models on craiglist are under 15k
These things hold their value better than any car I have ever seen...
Even the dealerships around here have a brand new one for $26,998 and a 2 year old used one with one or two more small features, and 30K miles sitting right next to it for the exact same price. That is insane.
Same for me... Want to be able to take the dog for a drive with the family, so I interested in a hatchback... BUT, we will probably just keep the explorer around for that. I don't know yet.tuckergustav wrote:

Its funny US cars cost a fortune here but across the pond everything else costs a fortune. Suppose thats why US cars are more popular in US, apart from the obvious reasons lol.
european cars dont cost a fortune. around here there are few because there are few euro dealers besides merc/porsche/bmw/audi and the cheaper companies.
also the monaro is uggly
