Long overdue post your favourite car here

Evil, Nine Toes, and Farl - good choices!! Love the late 60's American muscle!!

For my money:

'69 Camaro

The finest [American] production car ever! Beatiful from top to bottom! (Evil, the '69 Chevelle Super Sport would be a very close second).

What kind of MPG does that thing get?

That car crushing, burning and eating machine scares me. He eats cars like we chew gum.

Regrettably, I must admit I've seen one of those in person at a monster truck rally.

It was glorious. It was like, it would show off its car crushing awesomeness for everyone gladly but you still better not mess with it or it would be peasant burninating time!

At the moment this is what I drive:

This is what i WANT to drive:

Yes, it's a Lada.

Oliwerko · Thu 13/09/2007 13:29:51

Man, I looked at it and thought "This is a Lada!...No. It can't be." But it actually is. We have had 2 Ladas in our family...One of them still drives.

It served me well.

It's a coal digger in Germany. The wheel spins and those buckets on it harvest coal from the ground and send it down conveyors on the machines body. I think it's the largest mobile machine on Earth.

My brother has one of these bad boys. Minus the tie.

American cars are just stupid shit, waste of metal, totally unpractical. If I'd ever own an expensive sportcar, I would go with Swiss exotica Monteverdi HAI:

But more realistcly, I like MBs, like 1970's 250!

Still, quite expensive.

And I would shure like to own GMs new hydrogen (and even water!) running High-Wire!

Domino · Fri 14/09/2007 17:27:04

That giant coal digging, earth eating machine scares me. That thing chews through earth like i chew jello.

This is the first time i have ever seen a machine that enormous. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that monster.

Really... Was all that necessary?

I am quite sure that they are better than Estonian cars, though... :

radiowaves · Fri 14/09/2007 18:56:05

We have one car, Estfield, and that is still better than American cars! Its custom built and sort of sport car but still. Americans just make SUVs for gangstas and chicks who can't drive

Think about automatic gearboxes (large part of americans don't know how to drive a manual) and rednecks who got power and no handling... Ah, ofcourse, all that power gets used to drag that hamburger weight of theirs...

I would love to bash more, but i can't because I don't even have a drivers license yet

Nacho · Fri 14/09/2007 19:07:52

You have too much anger... I guess it hides a huge inferiority complex, so, relax, and it will be less noticeable.

Oliwerko · Fri 14/09/2007 19:09:07

You CAN"T say that they aren't better. You also can't say they are better. They're different. I am no american, but I think we do not have to write here how "americans are stupid and can't drive". It's childish.

lo_res_man · Fri 14/09/2007 19:56:06

its like the windows vs mac debate. in the end it all comes down to name calling.

and about that MASSIVE coal digger. I thought the the saturn v transporter was bigger

okey I was wrong but it is still the biggest internally powerd critter

So you want to own a "stupid shit, waste of metal, totally unpractical" vehical? That just makes no sense!

Personally I find the "cultural" differences in this thread utterly fascinating. When I look at this:

Compared with this:

To me, it's not even close. The American car is beautiful with flowing lines that blend ... the Italian car doesn't even come close to the level of beauty! It looks mashed together to me (actually it looks like a mini-model type thing)!

Nacho · Fri 14/09/2007 21:31:11

Shut up, bloody amierican imperialist... Your kars only work for cooking hamburgers on it, so you can eat and yiour yankee veins can explode. As seen in the photographov ***Vodka shot***, ourrs kars are so much nicer:

Is this the car you say it' s better than a Camaro, a Mustang or an Acura? It' s not even a proper estonian car, it' s a Lotus Locost adapted to use a Lada motor...

radiowaves · Sat 15/09/2007 00:24:05

Monteverdi is Swiss quality so shut up! The reason people like american power cars are because of the mainstream movies... If they made bullit with HAI, everyone would want it.
And only real cars that are american made (GTI) are from european parts...
Its my shallow and subjective opinion, you don't have to listen to me because you are far away and I can't do anything to you if you won't.
