Do you drive an ugly car?

[DarrinS]

I'm not talking about driving an old beater because you're on a budget. I'm talking about some of the new-ish vehicles that are extremely ugly.

Examples:

Kia Soul

Fiat 500

Me and my girl constantly rag on those.. I drive the complete opposite, a Ford F-150 Lariat.


What I don't get is that not only do people have to choose a Kia Soul, they then have to choose the pea-puke green color.

This is all I could afford right now........

[clambake]

i like the fiat 500.

[Brazil]

Ford Flex is terrible, I believe they are just selling some to Ford employees in Michigan tbh

[mrsmaalox]

That Mitsubishi is really ugly but the others are fine, hell at least they are new. I'd even drive that Flex in that exact color if I had like 10 kids lol!

My car is older, the last model year it was made, but it is very nice.

[leemajors]

I used to bag on the Soul, but I had one as a rental in Denver and it was actually a decent drive. SOUL all over the upholstery was a bit much though.

I actually own a Kia, just not that model.

And the Nissan Cube looks like a cheesy movie prop.

[mrsmaalox]

My sister in law drives a Veloster; it's okay looking and drives okay but it's pretty trippy just sitting in there like in some flashy space pod, absolutely no visibility though, which is what bugs me about my car when the top is up.

Oh and I rode in this dude's Hyundai Equus last weekend....WOW! The back seats recline with foot rests and remote controlled massagers, there was a refrigerator and mini-bar, 2 built in iPads, and the CIGAR lighters have giant crystal knobs! :lol

Edit--and I forgot to mention the Equus also has these screens that ride up over the windows that you can activate if you need a little privacy! In addition to the dark window tint. I think it makes the windows bulletproof too ;)

[benefactor]

Nope.

I like the Fiat, the Veloster, and even the Cube. In general, though, I like cars that look unique and generally support anyone who chooses something like that over a boring sedan that looks like every other boring sedan.

That said, my car is very pretty.

Fuck you. I want an El Camino. Bad.

[TeyshaBlue]

And yeah, my daily driver is a fairly unattractive 93 S-10, Extended Cab. But hey, it still has most of it's paint.
I'd have retired it years ago, but it still drives great. I've put almost 250,000 miles on it.

[DarrinS]

Hell, no.

http://www.cars-on-line.com/photo/60900/79chev60970-1.jpg

I had one of these -- a 1976 model. But mine was green in front and rust-colored primer in back. Interior was FUBAR.

[Chomag]

Nope, but people keep trying to make it one with their car doors. My truck would be in mint condition if it wasn't for other people.

I've had to do a lot of cosmetic repairs to mine, but I've never had a major issue mechanically. Plus, it's really easy to work on. It's easily the fastest car I've ever owned.

My ride: 2009 Pontiac G8 GT


This image was taken just before I got rid of the stock hood... I took out the intake inserts to be sent off for wrapping. The stock hood got fucked up with some chemicals as you can probably tell.
https://imageshack.us/scaled/large/809/carprehood.jpg

This is my new hood.. Real Carbon fiber hood, with the wrapped intake inserts installed (you can tell they are wrapped because they dont match the true carbon fiber hood).
https://imageshack.us/scaled/large/248/cfhood.jpg

It may be a Pontiac but its the last true muscle car they built... Has the same engine as the C6 corvette (LS2 6.0 V8) and with the mods I have, I eat new Camaro's and stock 'vettes for breakfast.... in a 4-door :lol

[Latarian Milton]

if someone appears on a media conference dressed like a pimp, it'd be no surprise he buys such an "ugly" car tbh. there're many retarded niggas in this country who have too much $ but too little brain

[CuckingFunt]

Hell, no.

http://www.cars-on-line.com/photo/60900/79chev60970-1.jpg

I've always liked the early Rancheros better than the El Camino. But, then I'm not a huge muscle car fan.

[CuckingFunt]

lol liking the Cube. It's a hideous car. I even have friends that drive them and agree :lol.

I like the Cube for what it is. Which is an important qualifier. It wouldn't fare too well if I compared it to a sports car, but, for example, it's about a million time more attractive than the... whatever the boxy Scion is/was. The Xb.

Still rollin' that G8 eh? I was actually looking at them but I couldn't find one with the mileage/price that I wanted. A buddy of mine that I work out with is the used car supervisor at a big dealership here in town. He told me he didn't have a G8 but he had a loaded out Maxima that he would make a deal on if I wanted to come down and drive it. I drove it, he made me that deal and here I am.

At least you know what you're getting into with the Cube.

lol yeah. even if its not a "hood" but like my friend for example drives a nice ass car. forgot what it was but its similar to the 350z. red, lowered, paints it like twice a month. Takes it to car shows and everything.


lives with his parents and only pays his cell phone bill, working at some chinese restaurant

I almost bought one of these Opel GT's as my first car when I was 17. It didn't look this good. Was kind of a lemon and junky but it borders on ugly cool.

About to pick up one of these .... want to see what happens when a Nissan Cube mates with a Nissan Titan?:

http://stblogs.automotive.com/files/2011/11/2012-Nissan-NV-Passenger-Van-Exterior-Front-Quarter-Driving-623x389.jpg


You get the Nissan NV (envy lol and yes I tried to find a good pic so look at theEDIT: kayaks not surfboards lmao ). Tbh I like that Nissan van in a utilitarian kind of way and the Ford Transit looks even worse FWIW. Lots of Nissan ppl here, or 3 including me anyway. I have an 06 stock 350Z 6 speed. Drives great but tbh the blind spots and being low to the ground is a pretty terrible combination for a daily driver in Texas where there are jacked up trucks and drivers everywhere

Anyway that Nissan behemoth is pretty much a cheaper, wider, but thirstier Suburban and will replace an ancient 90's Nissan Quest

[ohmwrecker]

I've always liked the early Rancheros better than the El Camino. But, then I'm not a huge muscle car fan.

The Rancheros were first and were kind of ridiculed for their looks with the fins and such. Chevy made improvements on the Ranchero (bigger bed, better engine) and are widely considered the better vehicle of the two, but, cosmetically, it's really subjective. I will, more times than not, go with power and speed over style.

[phyzik]

I guess it's ok....I don't wanna seem braggadocious...you got a nice ride man...

but your neighborhood needs upgrading :lol

LOL yeah... its an old neighborhood kinda NW Central. bunch of old people in the area, hardly any young kids... nice and quite, house is paid off so I dont care. It's San Antonio... a lot of old houses look like that. It's not L.A. but any one of those houses in the picture is a 3-4 bedroom house and only $90k max. Show me a house like that in L.A. that is that cheap and I will shit my pants and eat them.

[phyzik]

Just out of curiosity, what mileage/price were you looking for on a G8? I barely just broke 40,000 on mine. Not that Im looking to sell right now, just curious. Im sure, with my mileage, I could easily get at least $24k on eBay.

It looks good, I guess... its still a civic though.... generic Fart Can probably installed. I was in high school once too and had a Cavalier with a fart can. Nothing to be ashamed about.... unless your over 20yrs old.

That car wash looks familiar though... is that the car wash next to the DMV off of Babcock in San Antonio? That black car next to yours might actually even be mine! :lol

Dont tell me... You're either Tony or a friend of tony's..

Ohh damn.... This car wash looks EXACTLY the same as the one down the street from my house... I'm gonna HAVE to go and get in this same spot and take a pic to see if its the same, just for myself!

[phyzik]

Different angle, but you tell me it doesnt look the same.... The pillars used to be orange as well not too long ago. They recently re-painted them.

https://imageshack.us/scaled/large/833/20130504032817.jpg

Also, that fence in my picture hasnt been there that long, I suspect that fkla's picture was taken before that fence was put up by that Mexican resturaunt.

[FkLA]

:lol Nah man, that aint me. That pic is like five years old from my younger years when it was my :cry baby :cry...never frequented the Babcock area at that time although I wasnt driving it or take that pic that day.

But alot of carwashes have the orange and blue colorway so I still doubt its that Babcock carwash, this is carwash on SE side around my area:

I have a little 06' Grand Prix now which I like and gets me around but dont really do anything to. I just posted that pic because this thread reminded me how much time and money I put into that little Honda. Then this happened:

They were mostly mid to high 20s if you wanted one that had low mileage with a clean Carfax. There were a couple of red ones that were in the low 20s/high teens(which is closer to what I was willing to pay) but I don't really care for red cars. I was being pretty picky too as I had a good car and wasn't really willing to settle for anything on a trade in that was below average.

[Drachen]

Man i dont know how u do it. I'd save a ton of money if i didnt have a ride, but probably get zero ass.

You just gotta live in a part of town that respects that. In San Antonio, you could get away with it in Southtown, or right around SAC.

[Soul_Patch]

I drive a fiat 500 pop, wife drives a VW Passat SEL.

I got rid of my Ford Expedition and boat. When I was driving 50 miles a day for work I decided to go get a car that didn't cost over 15K and as close to 40MPG as possible. That lead me to the FIAT.

Can't complain, it gets me there, is cheap to drive, is fairly unique and was cheap to buy, but I kind of miss having a more substantial vehicle. I am considering a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as my next purchase...

Bro, they stole the seats out of your car?

[FkLA]

Niggas steal Hondas for the parts. They were SI seats which went for like 150-200 each at the time. The instrument panel was SI too which was going for 100+. The carbon fiber hood, fog lights, etc. Even the climate control, theyll sell that shit. Its ridiculous tbh.
