Got me 1990 CRX DX. It's a piece of crap, but it's been reliable as fuck and averages 35+ MPG still, 20 years later. It's really easy & cheap to repair anything that breaks on it to, a huge plus.

Still, I'm going for an E36 Bimmer this year, most likely a 318is.

Personally, I think that e46's are where it's at! Go with a 94 325!! :thumbsup:

Hi there Ms Bree.

Give me a nice muscled up Opel Tigra. For that I would have to move back to South Africa or to Germany though.

I know the E46's are better, but I can't afford an E46. I am certainly considering the 325 also, why would you specifically go with a '94, any particular reason?

Fortunately, my best friend and his dad are the biggest BMW fanatics I've ever met, so I won't having a problem finding a good car when it comes to buying one.

No real reason for a 94, it's just what mine is, so I know I like that year, lol! :dunno:

Lets not turn this thread into a flame war:thumbsup:

Does it make you feel any better if I told you I liked the older (80s) 'stangs? My buddy's mom had a 5.0 with t-tops back when I was a kid and that car was pretty sweet. I wouldn't mind driving this:

:eek: Why you must be in Minnesota!

We should all be driving Saturn's here in the winter. :eek: Friggin' plastic bodies on them, they never rust. Of course, they are a pretty "plasticky" product, and the automatic trannies go out on them like nothing, but the old SL2 are a sweet body style, IMO, and very easy to soup up, I hear:

If this car were white or black, I'd roll the hell out of it if it were manual. :yesyes: http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/3394/3021/33484010003_large.jpg

I'd rather push my BMW than drive a Saturn.

Haha, right on! Coolness :thumbsup:

The biggest problem I've seen while looking around over the past month, is finding a good condition BMW in a 5-Speed is pretty hard

A sad ending for GM muscle car enthusiasts. The last of the GM Big Block "Rat Motors" rolled off the Tonawanda plant in New York in December. End of an era dating back to 1955. I guess that's progress for you. :crying:

You're going to hate me, but here goes...... I prefer automatics. :dunno: THERE! I said it! It's out there! *be gentle...* :bowdown:

So you're a rich boy...got it. Yeah, I'm over here on the east side where the evil people meet. :tongue:

THAT shit's not funny. I worked for a YEAR to pay for my car. I stold, traded for, and saved my ass off for every part for it. I went without food and cigarettes at times to buy parts for that car.

You may have been joking, but that hit a nerve, sir. That BMW is the nicest thing I'll PROBABLY ever own. :thefinger

I didn't now that. So does that mean there will be no more Corvettes with 427's? I've never ridden in one, but the 2008 Z06 was a pretty impressive performer on paper.

Do you guys drive them in Europe, Georges?

People with big financial means drive muscle cars in Europe. But none everyone even with money isn't enough insane to modify and made of a classic ss 350 chevelle a por stock or a pro touring car. I know one guy who made of his chevy impala which was powered by a small block 327, a real big block brawler, he installed a custom 496ci engine fitted with a blower and two holley 1150fcm dominator carbs, result was 1100hp at 2300 rpm, the chassis was strenghtened, the braking system was also completely changed, and the gear box was an art carr th 400. The thing ran the 1/4th mile in 10,50sec at 130 mph.

I remember being in Italy and seeing all theses Smart cars and tiny little micro machine cars, then there was a Vette, it looked so out of place.
