looking to get a roadster
2007-09-06, 3:02 PM #41
If you're after a Z4 you really want the M.

If you really want a convertible I say save up and get a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.

[oh... dear... god... I need to go change after googling this car]

Yes, well I was being sarcastic about the Miata. But a BMW is kind of a chick car. A metrosexual car anyway.

We should amend the constitution to allow Bush a 3rd term.

Sports cars are for girls and metrosexual or gay men. REAL men compensate with large trucks.

Really though, I hate it when people buy/lease expensive cars just for the sake of having a car which is expensive. Especially when they can't ACTUALLY afford that car.

If I make enough money on my my collage internships and get a good scholar ship, I'd like to buy a used Mazda RX-8 out right. They're not exactly drag racers, but they handle nicely.
2007-09-06, 6:31 PM #48
The RX-8 is a nice car. I like the scene in Xmen 2 where Wolvie and the kids turn on the stereo in Scott Summers' car.

...wrong thread?

I agree with Wookie, you're going to waste your money, but it sounds likes your going to do it anyway.

(I disagree with Wookie's view on Biemers, I would stab any of you in the neck for a Z8)

Lamborghinis are nice in that they are fast, and handle nicely, but i have yet to see one that is aesthetically pleasing.

Can you seriously claim that the Gallardo Nera and Murcielago LP640 arent good looking cars?

There is something terribly wrong with your perception of cool. (not saying thats not cool, but a lamborghini looks like it can rip your face off even when its not moving)

Never said it wasn't cool, I'm just not overly keen on the shape of a lot of supercars.
nope.

I'm with him on this one...I mean, I don't have a problem with sports cars, but I hate Lamborghini's, I think they look absolutely awful, as do most supercars. Give me a really nice mustang over a Lamborghini any day.

promotion pics dont count. show me one on the road or parked in a real location, and i'll judge.

most of the time they look like someone tapered and rounded a shoebox.

Its a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle damnit.

:eng101:
nope.
2007-09-07, 5:25 PM #61
Oh, I wasn't talking about that in particular, I mean in general. Not that I'm an expert on cars, but I know that's not a mustang, heheh.

I just looked up a 1970 mustang on google....Way cooler than the chevelle!

cooler? add a second headlight to the mustang and remove the spoiler and they're practically the same car.

Unfortunately for you, that '70 Chevelle would blow the doors off of that Mustang Boss 302.

And let's not forget the most valuable car on the planet also happens to be the most badass. The 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda.

[http://members.tripod.com/vigilante_3/71plycudahemi1.jpg]

That car is worth about 12 million dollars.

Also, the cars most of you are talking about don't really qualify as roadsters anyway.

This is a roadster:

Nah man, it's all in the subtleties of the lines. I mean, the front on the mustang is angled forward a bit. It's got harder and straighter lines, too. I like that.

As far as getting the doors blown off...I never really did care about speed past a certain point. When it comes to cars, I care about looks mostly.

i originally wanted to get a saturn sky, but im going on a road trip to KY to meet someone and her mom already has one lol xD


no speeding tickets yet, ive been out driving all night.. hit 100mph on I95 but im sure road trip day will be a good time to test my max.. i bet theres a damn limiter hehe, which would sux :(


so far im not just 'happy'; im thrilled as f- all ! this car has by far the sweetest tang behind the pedal out of any car ive driven, it looks sweet as crap, and the interior is rather luxerious.

ive fallen in love, i want to go out driving again but i told myself last time this was it.. hmm, ive only used HALF the tank of gas tonight.. maybe i should/could go again hehehhe
