New car time

[Guntz348]

I got a new car!! ^_^ '05 Nissan 350Z coupe. I almost went for the practical car and the one that made sense... The CTS is a great car, but who wants to drive a four door when you can buy a sports car that you can barely afford... =P
Everyone post pics of your cars in here too.

dont worry guys id accept nothing less then a 6 speed myself. I kept my bike dont worry, she'll always be my first born. =P Its been kinda tough going back to a foot clutch and hand shifting, i keep looking for something to squeeze with my left when i wanna shift.

Sweet ride. American classics/muscle cars will always be my favorites, but I like a lot of Japanese sports/sporty cars, too. Not crazy about the color white, though.

[foamcup]

Oh good, an automatic sports car is a waste of metal and plastic. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Did you get enough for the whole class?

*ruler thwap*

I just have one of these...

Not an actual picture of mine, but it's the same model, same year, same color, etc. Different hubcaps, though.

[Obscenity]

That car doesn't have hubcaps. It has wheel covers. =D

You know its funny I said the same thing about imports vs. domestic. My last two cars were an '88 Trans Am GTA with a 305 and then an '89 Trans Am GTA with a 350. I always thought I'd stay loyal to the F-body/muscle car class but something mustve happened when I got older =P That and the fact that I ride a GSX-R600 and really can't stand Harleys may have had something to do with it.

You really gotta drive one, cus it's a solid car. Definatly will out handle a Camaro/Firebird or Mustang anyday of the week, and it has enough power to walk on them on the highways, something that surprised me. I guess driving was believing for me =P

I've never driven a 350Z, but I've been behind the wheel of a few Japanese sports/sporty cars (WRX STi, Lancer EVO, S2000) and yes, the handling beats a classic American sports/muscle car easily, but when it comes to cars, I'm all about style over substance. I wouldn't sneeze at any of those cars if they were within my means, but I'd take something like a late-'60s to mid-'70s Corvette or a late-'70s Trans Am (Smokey and the Bandit edition, obviously) any day of the week. As far as newer cars go, I like what Japan is producing more than the US in general, but the new Z06 pretty much blows them all away in terms of style AND performance, IMHO.

Color is very meh..but otherwise, nice ride.
You got any type of sound system hooked up ? And you need rims, yo.

[Jehosaphaty]

i like the white; visibility hommies.

[VioletSkye]

Very nice!! I just got a new car a few months ago. It's nothing fancy, just a 2002 Ford Taurus SES. I'll post a pick once I get it washed http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

nevermind, I found a pic of it online that looks IDENTICAL to mine (same model, year and color.)

Hawaii, nice.

I'm too lazy to go get a License, although I'm about two years over being able to get it. I usually just bike...

And nice car.

Haha, Violet, I just bought a 2007 Taurus SEL earlier this month..

Guntz, I can't believe you got one of my favorite cars. The 350Z is a sweet ride, although I would try to get it in Blue http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I get my license in two days and will be driving a purple 1996 dodge grand caravan DX but one of my not too expensive dream cars, is a Saleen modded mustang http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Or a supercharged Z06.

If I could have any car, it would prolly be the Pagani Zonda, damn that thing would make me feel like batman. Here are some pics:

That thing is pretty hot. If I could have any car in the world, it'd be a Diablo.

Heh, I never noticed how many Tauruses (Taurusi?) there were on the road until I bought mine http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Tauri.

Here's what I'm getting /sigh

Although there is one thing missing. The bottom part of the car is silver... but still wtf lol

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/shroogle/94caravan.jpg
(kinda small)

Well, believe it or not, if I had to pick any car in the world, I'd go with a Hyundai Tiburon. I just love this damn car:

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/shroogle/patterson_subz_rbpl_1.jpg

but for some reason, I like the 2003 GT model better:

Need to save up for this sucker, but since I'm aiming for the 2003 one, Not bad considering I can get a tricked out one for $11k

[Guntz348]

But Violet, I'm still single and no kids... that I know of... =P I was trying to get it in Daytona Blue but that's damn near immpossible on this island. It's a rare color and it doesnt hold its value as well as white does. It's more of a pearlesant white though, the pics don't do it justice. After I drove it once I fell in love. Oh did I mention it came with a flip out, touch panel DVD in the dash board? Now thats gonna make me crash!
