If you couldn't have a nissan...

Post by **FDragger** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

and couldn't buy a newer car (like the wrx, evo etc..). what used car would you be driving right now? Im just curious

Post by **BadMojo** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

A relatively rust-free (yeah, right) 280Z with the cool-*** skinny chrome 240Z bumpers, some of those smoked glass headlight covers and the side mirrors way down the front of the car. In burgundy.

Hell yeah. :ylsuper

Edit: It's a Datsun, btw. So there! OK, or a crappy old N/A RX-7.

This sounds like a loaded question. Are you looking for a used car?

I would have to say, a Caprice Classic. I use to have one and I had some good times in it. Literally.

no nissan?! um.....i guess a CRX or 2nd gen. Eclipse

Post by **lessthanjakejohn** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

Subaru Impreza WRX sedan. <<If I could get quite a lot of help from my parents plus I got a good deal by wiggling my self in and slapping down a huge 18k cash (24,000, AND got dealer to throw in a ton of free stuff (exhaust, alloy rims, speakers, shift knob, boost gauge, dash gauges...)

I dream of getting a good deal on a new car.

ooops you asked about used cars. I would drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, fully loaded.

Cadillac eldorado ETC, cadillac seville STS, or cadillac Fleetwood Brougham!!!!

Post by **Get240DiZzY** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

A Ferrari. Or, if money was a constraint, probobly a 1997 BMW 328is. Mmmmmm.

Post by **Queamore** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

Yeah I had a whole bunch of ragilac's oh I mean Caddilacs....

Get something that fits you. My other favorite car is a 75 malibu I put like 3000 into it and paid 500 for it.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

datsun 28oz

Post by **yashin** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

yes they were produced in north america, well we have them in canada at least, they were on the 4th and 5th generation, they came with toyoa's very strong 2.0 3S-GTE, kinda the equivalent of the SR20DET, in the 5th gen it came with a top mount IC, in japan they got 225hp, look for a celica with a hood scoop

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

yep, and the ones in the mr2 turbo's got 24ohp!!! w00t!

Post by **TrueSlide** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

Hmm, realistically. My choices would have to be rwd!! I never want to go back so either.

RX-7A old *** corrolla(yes i know, but it is RWD!!!)MR-2CamaroOlder Supra

Thats the realistic range.

Post by **AZhitman** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

A modded 95 Acura Legend 6-speed Type II (coupe).

Beyond that, maybe a 95 MR2 turbo, an Eldo ETC, or my dream project:

A mid-90's Buick Roadmaster wagon with an LT-1 swap, dropped, shaved, skirted and tinted (Impala SS style), rolling on Boyd's 18's.

Post by **FDragger** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

sounds like the old 2XXZ datsun is the fav. I've thought about restoring an old datsun but it just seams like too much restoring for me.

hmm...celica awd...those are ridiculously rare.I'd rather get an mr2 turbo but those are rare too and are going for premium prices right now.

CRX? yeah those are dope. tons of power to weight ratio and aftermarket support.

Don't get the old Z unless you've got the time and money to do a restoration. It can be pricey, and there's nothing as sad as a poorly maintained Z limping down the highway.

I saw one of these before. I didn't know the legend even came in 6 speed. too bad it was yellow with yellow tint :rolleyes

Post by **BuudWeizErr** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

an AE86, a MKIII Supra or an FC probably.

Post by **S13240** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

ST185!!!

Post by **Gregariousgreg** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

I'd have a 1967 or 1969 Corvette Stingray T-top with a blown 350. Tuxedo black with black leather interior. But I'd rather have that than a nissan, just can't afford it.

Post by **InstantRice** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

celica all-tracks are extremely rare in the u.s. but they do exist, do the mr2's w/ the all-track engine exist in the u.s.?

anyway my list is Mr2, FC, a 1.8t car (audi vw) or my 3225i!

Post by **SmithSR** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

'91 BMW 850i. V-12 Coupe. One of the original super-touring land yachts. This car has so much technology poured into it, it makes modern domestic cars look like grandpa's Packard.

Post by **darkeagle** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

Considering I'm waiting for that day next year to come when I can own a Nissan, I'll just try to rely on my Plymouth Laser.

Its getting worked on soon to run a hell lot better.

Post by **hannibal** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

RWDmk3 SupraMR2

FWDVW Jetta

BUt if I could afford any of these right now, I'd get an S14!

Post by **Jeff Williams** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

The last twin turbo RX-7. Then I would chop the top (somehow). Or maybe a Miata, with a 5.0 Mustang and a 6 speed.

Post by **stickgoat** » Tue Jun 17, 2003 4:56 pm

1986-1991 Mazda RX-7, hands down, no questions asked my favorite car ever produced.
