HAHAH love it

Posted by 944kid It was actually a slightly humorous stereotype, but I'm glad you got that out of your system. To put things in perspective, even if I could afford those cars, the stereotype associated with them and my personal automotive preferences turn me off to such cars. They're common, I'd rather drive something interesting. You get the point, good day!

You've hit the nail on the head..... "personal automotive preference"
If it's speed, or flashy paint, big stereo, big rims... or all of the above it's personal. For me, there is no feeling like sitting behind the wheel of my truck. Brings back the feeling of a 5 year old boy playing with Tonka trucks. that's what's personal to me.
I don't understand your comment on them being common. An Astro Van, Cavalier, Civic or F150 pick up.... now that's common.

That's the point
Good day

Posted by Samurai what makes it the perfect car?

They took the excellent balance of the boxster and added a hard top. I can't wait to see one with a 4.0L TT gambella or ruf motor in it. Can you say, BEAST?

Sure, it's quite possibly a feminine car from the factory, but they can turn mean and masculine fast with the right attention to detail.

In the world of sports cars, Corvettes, Vipers, Ferrari 360s, Mustangs, they're all common. All little kids grow up wowing them and lots of old pricks collect them and never drive them.

Watch this scene from "gone in 60 seconds," you'll understand what I mean. The less talked about cars are the ones I appreciate most.

outstanding scene.

Hahah... yeah, that's one of my favorite movie scenes.

I also like the scene in Gumball Rally where the two guys are trying to get the Jaguar started.

"What a beautiful car...."
"I wish it ran..."

Tell us how that goes, please, I've heard bad things about that model series.

of course you have.

the early models had problems with head gaskets. Also, the four cylinders are less than inspiring with the automatic transmission. There was a brief run that had problems with the timing chains, but i am pretty sure that the issue was limited to the Colorado variant for some weird reason.

They have issues with the valves not seating properly too, but it's covered under a good-will warranty.
