[progbuddy]

There's already a car thread.

That thread is for a particular car (Bugatti Veyron; would've been #11 :p). This is a top 10 list.

[Omega]

No, that is a general car thread. The one I made.

So once agian, there is already a car thread.

[Omega]

Oh, and there are actually two.

Pick one:

[The Black Pumpkin]

I would have to say my Top #1 car would be an early 70's Pontiac GTO, then maybe #2 would be a late 80's-early 90's Camaro or Firebird. #3 is an old style VW Beetle, and #4 an old Benz, #5 would be a VW "hippie" van.

Then again, it'll be a while before I could get my hands on any one of those. However, my Grandfather, before he died, restored 6 cars (5 still in family posession.)

A 1951 Chevrolet truck (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/TheBlackPumpkin/51_chevy-01.jpg).
A 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/TheBlackPumpkin/chev5301.jpg)
A 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/TheBlackPumpkin/Haney54a.jpg)
A 1964 Buick Wildcat (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/TheBlackPumpkin/Buick20Wildcat20196420Sunburst20Yel.jpg)
A 1972 Pontiac LeMans (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/TheBlackPumpkin/Car01.jpg)
And a 70's Chevy Suburban.

None of those are actual pics of our cars, they're just to give you ideas. (I'll get some real pics up to show I'm not pulling legs, either! :banana: )

Since we have those, my parents are not as wanting of me to get my own oldie to restore, they want me to use one of the existing ones more. I think either the Pontiac or the Buick are the best choice for a daily driver, myself... 8)

you picked a mx-3 over an mx-6? hmm. interesting choice. i forgot to put the mx-6 as my number #1. :) :) :)

[Bucko]

What's a MX-3? We got the MX-6 over here which was the front wheel drive coupe (which the Ford Probe was built on) and we got the MX-5 (the sexy little rear wheel drive 2 door convertible. I think it was called a Miata in the USA).

[chaksq]

The Mazda MX-3 is also known as the MX-3 Precida (Canada Only), Autozam AZ-3, and Eunos Presso. It is a small front wheel drive 2-door hatchback that has both four and six cylinder models. It is based on the Mazda 323 chassis. The Mazda KZLE six cylinder turbo engine which was used in the MX-6 can easily be swapped into the six-cylender MX-3.

I'll try to find some pics for you.

Ahh, thanks!

We do have them here, but they sold under the Eunos brand name (which bombed out and was dropped). Here it is called the Eunos 30X.

[Zephik]

I like the Boss 302.

That would be the 1970 version (http://www.calcruisingauctions.com/images/70boss302-1.jpg) of the Boss right? Pretty nice choice you got there prog. ;)

I still like the 429 (http://www.geocities.com/fordmustangpics4/1969_Ford_Mustang_Boss_429_black.jpg) more though. :p

I don't know as much as You do about Skylines. All I know is the one I wanted was fast...So sorry no contest. But I'd put up any Skyline against a Cosworth or a Lotus Carlton..Anyday..Even a Courtney Turbo Cavalier 4x4.

I don't have to drive a car for it to be my favorite. Hell, I don't even have my lisence. I have done my homework, however, and I know the history of the Nissan Skyline (for the most part). I even wrote a 5-page essay on it in middle school. :smoker:


Anywho...

Look at the "Nissan Skyline" article on Wikipedia. Most of the pictures are there.

Whatever money I have that's not tied up into computers, is into cars. In fact, the Corvette hits the drag strip Saturday.

[Airbozo]

I LOVE Rover's!

I used to have a 1970 3500S. Other than the electrical, that car was a blast! It had good acceleration, good handling, looked good and was ok on gas. Mine was exactly like this one, but blue;
http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/photo/84587,9683,0,0/photo.aspx

I had tears in my eyes as the tow truck took her away for the last time. I just did not have the time or money to bring it back to mint condition, so sold it to someone who restored it.

[Bucko]

Have you seen Dave's Rover though. It isn't in the same class as Rovers of the past....

edit: DaveW's Rover:

Well that picture is of the Monaro, which we sent the US for them to ruin the looks and call it a GTO.

[Omega]

btw... this is a Sable...

http://www.theautochannel.com/media/photos/mercury/1997/97_mercury_sable-1.jpg

[Bucko]

Well it doesn't look much like a Sable to me...

Anyway, the Monaro was based of the VT Holden Commodore, which was a 4 door sedan with either a 3.8L V6 or 5.7L V8 and rear wheel drive:

http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/4523/28vxjpgra6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

It also came as a wagon. But my favourite is the ute:

http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/673/holden20commodore20ss20ow6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

I reckon it would have been a big seller in the US if rebadged as an El Camino SS

Funny, I thought that all Japanese cars look the same as well as all the European ones. In fact I think that with all the aerodynamic body stying, ALL cars are starting to look pretty much the same with very minor variations. I am actually quite bored with most cars that I can afford, looks wise. Automakers worldwide need to come up with something outside the norm.

[progbuddy]

My favorite car from the 80's is the Nissan 300 ZX. Awesome design, T-shaped roof, and an awesome V6 twin turbo.

Affordable, fast, and fun to drive :D

[Omega]

The problem with the 300ZX, though, is the cams. They're weak. I've talked to several 300ZX owners who have snapped them.

Get different cams :) They might cost a bit, but new cams add so much more horsepower.

[Omega]

Get different cams :) They might cost a bit, but new cams add so much more horsepower.

Well, that's what they did after the figured out that the stock cams wouldn't hold up. Especially under increased boost and some other engine mods.

If I'm not mistaken, the differential in the 300ZX's are also pretty crappy (non-LSD, tend to get messed up at about 350hp). But hey, nothing a Helical LSD can't take care of. ;)
