Do you drive an ugly car?

[Koolaid_Man]

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

must be nice

hey wait a sec....I don't live with my parents (they live in Socal) but they do front me what I need...and I work on and off...mostly following my investments online

[jag]

Not quite.

I usually assume people who drive infinitis are bags. Probably because every time I go out there's always a different mid-twenties/early-30's guido trying to race me in his 2005 G35/G37.

Maalox did you paint that emerald green...I have never seen that color on one before...

Its their stock Electric Green Mica. I love their Paradise Blue also but I don't care for a black interior/top and they just didn't make very many of those cars with tan.

i didnt say anything is wrong with that. Just talking about people in "those" situations who have really nice cars

[gameFACE]

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 an?:




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

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 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 my pants and eat them.

[phyzik]

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.

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.

[Technique]

^Are you a roach?

[phyzik]

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 Bab in San Antonio? That black car next to yours might actually even be mine!

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.



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]

Nah man, that aint me. That pic is like five years old from my younger years when it was my baby ...never frequented the Bab 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 Bab 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:

You cant have a nice looking Honda without s trying to steal it left and right. I slipped up once and they got it, eventually grew tired of the paranoia and now its just sitting in my parents driveway smh.

[phyzik]

Damn carwashes looking so similar!!

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...

[The Reckoning]

always wanted a 1947 harley knucklehead...

I dunno, is a Cadillac ugly?

You cant have a nice looking Honda without s trying to steal it left and right. I slipped up once and they got it, eventually grew tired of the paranoia and now its just sitting in my parents driveway smh.

Bro, they stole the seats out of your car?

[FkLA]

s 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 . Its ridiculous tbh.
