In pursuit of Eleanor - ST Car thread

[Cry Havoc]

Not sure if there's already one, but if there is, I haven't seen it bumped in a while.

What do you guys drive, have driven, want to drive, dream of driving? Anyone tried out the new Challenger Hellcat, or C7?

Right now I'm checking out the '15 Golf GTI. Car of the Year, the clean lines are pretty hype, although not as trackable as I'd like, it looks like a great all 'rounder.

Pretty solid, IMO. It's no 2012 Mustang, but honestly, what is?

[RD2191]

Did you really need to add the last part? 91 GT. Stock for now. 67 Galaxie. Thinking of picking up a 32 body from Brookville.

[RD2191]

Looking at a WRX but a little out of my price range right now.

Black 2010 Maxima Premium. I'll pay it off and keep it. Love it. Big, comfortable, fast...everything I need in a daily driver and travel vehicle.

After I pay that off I'll get my weekend car, which will be a 2002 T/A WS.6...probably in blue. I kicked around the idea of several older muscle cars with semi-modern technology but I've settled in on the T/A. Might go with a Camaro around the same year if it's built the right way and the price is right.

Dem long wheelbases. :tu

I'd love to pick up a used Elise, but they're not practical and dealing with clamshell repairs is crazy.

Also (seriously) looking at a new Mustang, or even a Fiesta ST, which people say are fucking awesome to drive. Not a huge fan of the body style though.

[benefactor]

Yeah...those are just too damn small for me. I didn't like the new Mustangs at first but I'm warming up to them and you can still get a damn fast V6 if you don't want to shell out the cash for a Coyote.

[RD2191]

OP is also a faggot.

Audi...:tu. You need to trade the beamer in for a RS7 man. Those cars are some alpha rides.

[Blizzardwizard]

BMW>>>>All.

In terms of 'dream driving', some European flavour is necessary here

I had a 69 Mercury Cougar XR7 with a 390 when I was in HS. Loved that car

The VW in the OP is nice, but those are kinda pricey, IMO.

$28k for a fully loaded performance package car is pricey?

I'm a cheap ass. :lol

If I didn't care about money, do you honestly believe I'd be driving a fuckin Prius? :lol

2012 Honda CRV EXL. Practical as fuck.

Mother-in-law has one. Drives real nice. I almost bought a Honda Fit, but I'm digging my 55 mpg avg.

Well yeah, but in the scope of the entire car market that's mid-low range. I just like it's cause it's great to look at, can haul a ton, and seems to handle really well.

I guess closest competitors are the Mazda3 and the Focus hatchbacks.

Yep. And from the reviews I've read, the GTI is insanely comfortable and fun to drive. Might test drive one soon.

I've driven in one. The interior is really nice. Hopefully, your daily commute allows you to enjoy driving it. My daily commute is pretty much stop and go traffic.

[spurraider21]

i'm still driving my 2008 civic coupe. still runs fine, gets good mileage

generally not a fan of getting foreign luxury cars. for all the praise german engineering gets, their cars spend way too much time in the shop, and iirc most of them dont have rack and pinion steering which i'm a fan of. plus u pay way too much for imports in general

if i was gna upgrade to a luxury ride one day, it would be a cadillac

Parents money tbh..that Audi is a mom car too IMVHO.

[blkroadrunners]

Just bought a 2014 Mazda 6 last year similar to this one...

So many great cars/trucks out there on my dream list, but I had to go with something that was fuel efficient, decent size, and some sport features.

[spurraider21]

one of the top cars on my dream list is a plymouth prowler, for some reason

I've only seen those a few times IRL but they look fucking sick.

My personal vehicle is a 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder. My kid hauler was an Expedition that got totaled in a wreck a couple of months ago and I brought home like 5 different cars to replace it but finally settled on a 2014 Toyota Avalon. I've never driven a big sedan but I think I can get used to this one, it's all bells and whistles, comfort and luxury.

[ohmwrecker]

Want.
