the division of joy Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I'm expecting to see a legion of toyota, honda and subaru's at the top end here.... and a legion of french cars at the bottom... i may be wrong though
Jables Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 skeet - whered that toy/batmobile lookin jeep you posted up a while back in anotehr thread go? that looked cool. CNN Money's most/least reliable cars. This one? Yeah, this is an unrealistic as hell toy. I ever got this I'd get myself a Master Chief outfit to go with it & go blasting on poor people or somethin'.
LightningOBO Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 If I had the money I would buy a 1966 Shelby GT. I think i'm in love....or just really horny now! LOL
the division of joy Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 thats a Terrible car... its got the engine from a battle ship in something that weighs about as much as a house... it corners about as well as a house and its got the top speed of henry the eight... seriously... there is only One good muscle car, and thats the holden munaro....
the division of joy Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 jealous of what, something that can only go in a straight line, i think Not...
gunsmithx Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 gotta love those old shelby's but nothing beats a Subaru, !Proud owner of a 05 WRX!
the division of joy Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 you're all wrong, Wrong wrong wrong!!!!! seriously... what you all need is a koenigsegg.... if it can cure someones need to smoke... it can kick a horrid looking shelby's ass! it also know show to corner
Jables Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Now Dodge, you gotta admit the Shelby's a cornerstone of the muscle market at the very least in strictest terms of style. I mean really functionality & a desire to spend less than I earn fueling the bloody things is the simple reason I have no interest in muscle cars. Sure spee'd awesome but here in Oz there's nowhere except the desert to really flex that. I'll take good economy & a tight turning circle or grunt & smoke, thanks. I can't think of any cars right now to post but damnit do I need to peeeeeeeee.
the division of joy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 i'd never buy a muscle car, its like driving a tank with an underpowered engine.. im just saying, the shelby is a terrible car... it has a suspension that bad, you'd be better off putting a series of marshmellow in there... you'd get a firmer ride...
Jables Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Nah. Fuck a piece've timber with a knothole in it. That's a firm ride Well I hate to be the one to break this to ya man, but... The Monaro kinda-sorta-kinda qualifies as muscle.
the division of joy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 i know, it is a muscle car, its big, ungainly, but unlike most muscle cars, it knows the meaning of a corner.. and it has an ok ride to it... hence, its the only one id think of owning...
Jables Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah well... I loves me a Subi but from what I hear they're almost as bad. Good stock engine in 'em & a nice light body but handling's only really good if you're on a track-not really designed for popping down to the local supermarket for a tin of peas, eh? Seems a bit at odds with it's rally breeding( i figured handling'd be a big issue for flying down dirt roads skirted by massive fucking trees at 180KMH) but I dunno. What's your word Gunsmith?
the division of joy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 well sounds like you're on about the wrx model of an impreza... which are all well and good if you wanna rally around scotland with your trousers on fire, as every day cars, i cant see them working, however, the standard impreza is a pleasure to drive... and it will outlive your children
Jables Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 That won't be a hard bet since I'm likely to exhibit the parental concern of a renegade Michael Jackson & Steve Irwin combined.
the division of joy Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 no concern for the kiddies eh, get a volvo.. so boring they'll die in the back seat
Dr.Strangelove Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 hahaha, Doj.. you'll never win. The europeans make the best cars, you americans make all flash and no bang.
Jables Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Donnie you DO realise Dodge's a mick don't you? And I say Japan makes the best cars for me.
the division of joy Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 whats more, as well as being a mick.. im saying the americans make terrible cars...
Dr.Strangelove Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I'm half mick, and I also say they make terrible cars haha. And yes, I knew he was Irish, I was saying he'll never win, win in arguing his point that the shelby is a poorly made car.
the division of joy Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 while i may never win, i will forever know that i am right about that piece of tin sporting an obnoxiously oversized, underpowered engine... honestly, cars using 5.7 liter engines and only getting 300 bhp out of them, thats just wasteful and bad engineering... the japanese can get 400bhp out of a 2 liter engine, as we've seen with the mitsubiti evo 8 fq 400...
soldier of fortune Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Japanese Cars are pretty good but Euro engineers get the most out of what they had. The Evo 8 which you refer to dodge was engineered in the UK. Amazed you haven't put any pictures up of your car mate (i know your camera is MIA but you do have a camera phone don't you!)
the division of joy Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 i have a camera phone but no way of getting the pics from my phone to my pc, which is a pain in the arse
