Cars

[SaMaster14]

Hey, anyone here like cars?

If so, what do you or your parents drive?

My dad is driving a Mercedes CLS coupe and my mom is driving a Jaguar XK convertible. In addition to my dads mercedes, he may get a Porsche Carerra 4S cabriolet for fun, and my mom is getting a Mercedes GL 450 SUV soon.

So, what about you guys?

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... i think we had a similar thread like this before, and it ended in PHAIL.

so... in before fail.

[SaMaster14]

Why would it fail? plus if you don't like cars, you don't have to post here. But I know there are a lot of people who do like to discuss cars and the such.

[kenshinbebop]

I wish I knew a lot a bout cars and did some Tokyo Drift ewsqu stuff. But alas, no....

I wish I owned my car in Need For Speed Underground...Honda Civic modded to the MAX!

[Chopin]

I drive a Ford Model T.

[SaMaster14]

Those are some cars!

Two of my brother in laws collect cars. Here are some of the cars they have:

One has: Ferrari F430 Spyder, Ford GT racecar, Audi S8, Hummer H1, 2 motorcycles(harley and BMW), GMC Denali, Range Rover Sport HSE, tricked out Ford Expedition, and maybe even some more I don't know about, lol.

The other has: Ferrari 575 Maranello, Bentley Arnage.

I have pictures of most of the cars in my family, if you guys want any.

[CrossboneGundam]

I don't like rich kids who like to brag on the internet about all the expensive cars their parents have and/or are planning to buy.

90% chance he's just a troll, 5% chance he's an actual rich kid trolling, 4% chance he's an actual rich kid who thinks poor people are merely forced to rent private 737s to fly their guests to israel, 1% chance he legitimately wants to hear about our Nissan Stanzas and Geo Metros.

[Xhalen]

This thread WILL deliver! I know it will!

By the way, nice detective work, Tuna.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

The part where you say "If so, what do your parents drive?" Is kind of interesting.

[SaMaster14]

Oh, well I actually didn't know that I posted this twice. I came here after finding this site on google, and I found out that I had an account here. After that, I looked and saw that I had 0 posts. Than I did a search to see if there were any car threads here, and the search came up empty, so I posted the thread.

Well, I do actually love discussing cars in general, anyone on almost all of the other forums I'm an active member on can tell you that. I don't care what car it is, I just like discussing them, since there are some really cool cars that aren't expensive.

I have very much proof that I am not lying about any of this, I can back anything up and give you any proof needed.

I"m sorry for posting this twice.

But if anyone would still like to discuss cars or see pictures of proof, please post here.

I really do like anime, and I will try to stay active on this forum and not just harp on cars.

[Tuna]

You "found" this through Google...and your old SN and password floated down on a cloud?

Meh...whatever...that car in your sig is really nice.
^_^

Thanks.

And here is what happened. I've been using the same username and password for 5 years, its my AIM username and i've used it on every forum that I've registered on. So, I tried to register here and it said that my email had already been used. So, I just tried the user and password that I used for all the forums and it worked.

I than saw that I had 0 posts(after I just found out that everything you post in the off topic threads doesn't count towards your post count).

But I guess lets just talk about cars.

Again if anyone wants pictures or proof I have it.

I'm sorry again for posting this twice. But I will promise that everything I say is true and I can prove most all of it.

[Rain]

The funny thing is that this thread isn't about cars, it's about your—or your family's or whoever's—cars.

Protip: No one cares about your cars. :)

[SaMaster14]

Well, lets discuss cars.

I did say post what cars you own or your parents own(if you can't drive like me).

The posting of my cars was just something to spark discussion and comparisons and such.

How about this: what is your favorite car?

My favorite car is not any of the ones my family has.

I love the Mercedes SLR McClaren and teh Ferrari California.
My bro in law has a Ferrari F430, but the California is nicer, and so is the GTB Fioriano(Sp?) which I like as well.

[Xhalen]

Protip: No one cares about your cars. :)

It's been so LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG since I've seen the old 'Protip' busted out. You're my hero/heroine for the day/night.

edit: My favorite car is actually a truck, my 1999 Toyota Tacoma.

[RecentMidget]

my car is an excessively used '99 cavalier.
yeah, it sucks ***!

[SaMaster14]

my car is an excessively used '99 cavalier.

I've seen worse. Its probably not that bad.

But again, if you guys are mad at me for talking about my families nice cars... what is your favorite car? lets discuss that.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...we're not mad at ya.

we're just saying that most of the people here on AN don't really care about cars. rather, they would prefer to post about "SENSITIVE MALES" or the more popular "I LOVE A LOVING PERSON, DON'T HATE!".

[CrossboneGundam]

It's been so LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG since I've seen the old 'Protip' busted out. You're my hero/heroine for the day/night.

Someone's never been to 4chan.

Anyway, RICH KID IS RICH and I'm jealous. I want your money.

[MirKz]

Used to be into cars big time, not so much these days, though I'd like to get another nice car... I can think of better things to put my coin towards.

Anyways...
Used to own a 93 Nissan Skyline GTS (With bolt on turbo conversion plus a WHOLE lot of other work to it).
Brother used to own a 2000 RX-7 FD RZ (The limited one's that only like 170 or so were made apparently).
Dad has 2 Jag's at the moment. An 85 XJ6 which he is actually selling and he just bought some other older model jag, very tidy car, got a V12 in it etc, cabriolet.

I currently have no car only a motorbike, personal choice.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Hey rich kid I'm gonna tip you upside down an stick your head in the toilet.

[Xhalen]

Someone's never been to 4chan.

Anyway, RICH KID IS RICH and I'm jealous. I want your money.

Nah, it's just I haven't been there for a long time.

[SaMaster14]

Hey Mirkz, you have any pictures of those old jags? I'm not that into old cars, but I've been getting more interested in some of the old luxury cars.

What are the older jags like? I hear that they've always had electrical problems. Since with the newer ones that definitely holds true, the XK convertible my mom is driving has had some electrical troubles from time to time, but its still a great car. On the other hand, my dads Mercedes has never had any problems, its really a great car!

Oh and thanks for not hating me, lol.

But for all that do like cars, just discuss here :)

[Mag]

I have a 1991 Saab 900S Convertible and a 1976 Saab 99GL WagonBack.

[Leader Desslock]

The funny thing is that this thread isn't about cars, it's about your—or your family's or whoever's—cars.

Protip: No one cares about your cars. :)
Yeah, that's my reaction.

Hey rich kid I'm gonna tip you upside down an stick your head in the toilet.
I'll hold the stall door open for you, if you need.

No, I'm not motivated by jealousy, actually. I just think it'd be funny and I'm willing to help to get a ringside seat.

I drive a Ford Model T.
What?! That's cool! That...

Ah, that's right. Chopin. The same tired troll shtick. Yeah, I caught it back at the "in my day, there were no computers" post, and it hasn't gotten any more entertaining since then. I mean, kudos for trolling with a full persona, but I'd just like to see you do something with it, ya know? I hate wasted potential. Kids nowadays... *sigh*

I have very much proof that I am not lying about any of this, I can back anything up and give you any proof needed.
None is needed unless someone cares, which the safe money says nobody does.


On-topic: I stopped driving years ago. I'm a cyclist. You driving people with your... cars... and windshields.... you're just ruining the earth. Think of the children! :'( Share the road! SEE the moonwalking gorilla!

[MirKz]

Desslock... the moonwalking gorilla is hilarious!! Hahaha.

SaMaster, best looking them up on the net to find out more, I don't share the same passion for the older cars as my father, so I've not kept tabs on everything...

[f2akid]

Why would you come on an anime forum to specifically talk about cars anway?

I'm sure half of the people here don't drive and the other half drive bangers... lol on an anime forum, what the ****?!

[Jia]

I drive a sporty car. :)
Astina for me.

[Caster13]

Like many people on this forum, I don't have a car....yet. I'm GOING TO get my dad's Saturn Ion though in a couple months. I need it for school in the fall.

I'd love to get the car in your avatar though.:D Of course I'd end up getting arrested for insane speeding.:shifty:

[Trefellin]

I don't use cars, they are for epicures. I ride wild brahmabeast stallions.

[FizzySid]

Cars are loud, dangerous, cause lots of pollution and cost loads of money.
They're only useful when there's no alternative what-so-ever.
I never want to own one, unless things change A LOT.

[DavenIII]

I refuse to own a car with less then 6 cylinders I don't know why its just something I have a strong belief in :P

My first car (that I bought) was a Z34 Caviler my second car was a Lincoln LS (that I Loved but it got flooded) now I own a Jeep Wrangler...because its still floods where I work.

before that I drove a old Lincoln (87 I think?) Town Car which was kinda like driving a boat... you had to spin the wheel like 3 or 4 times to CHANGE LANES lol :P

My father "used" to Drag race he's got a 1981 Z28 Camero all beefed up with Edelbrock performance parts and has a NOS hook up to the intake...(he couldn't hit the NOS off the bat otherwise the wheels smoked up something ridiculous and he'd get a bad time so he had it hooked up for when the intake flaps opened which was a little further down the track so as not to smoke the tires)

they also have a Durango 2007 and a Chevy Sierra Dually with a Tow package which we tow our two campers with also have a Jeep Liberty...and my brother drives a Charger....The Chargers nice a like it, my favorite of all our cars is definatly the Chevy Sierra Dually though... that thing is...well its just HUGE.

only gets like 10 MPG though and it costs a little over 150$ to fill-up diesel (probably more nowadays)

[Caster13]

My dad's Saturn get's good gas mileage. 29 mpg, but that's not enough for me so I'm gonna save up some money and trade it in for something with like 33 and more mpg. Unfortunately a lot of the times that means that the car is stick shift, so I should learn soon. Manual transmissions get a couple miles per gallon more than automatics.

But it still has to be able to accelerate a good amount. Can't get a slug.

[Dorktron2000]

Cars are loud, dangerous, cause lots of pollution and cost loads of money.
They're only useful when there's no alternative what-so-ever.
I never want to own one, unless things change A LOT.

You say that but then you realize a city like Chicago, with an extensive public transit system, tacks on .5% to the sales tax (bringing it to over 10%) and still charges you $2 to ride one way.

Anyway, for cars I like the Smart twofour, you can fit into parallel parking spots by just backing up.

[Caster13]

yes, and you're about as protected as Desslock riding in a fiberglass surrounded bicycle.

[SaMaster14]

All those beautiful cars, and you have a bike like THAT?!
(LOL)
Sorry, but I know I wouldn't spend the money on a BMW bike... Go and upgrade it for something faster and better :)

[shinri]

I can't drive on my own yet since I don't have a fully rated G-class license ... only a G1. (graduated licensing is a pain!).

But if I could, I would probably get a BMW 330i.

Oh and MirKz, I'm not sure why he has teh BMW bike, but he likes it. He has a Harley as well. The harley is really really cool, but its at his Utah house. Its one of those custom Harleys, its amazing.

[MirKz]

some of the custom choppers are hot.
But I don't really rate harleys all that much. They're ridiculously loud, with not a whole lot of punch, and there's always somethin wrong with them, or so I hear.
But hey.. if he's happy with it... kudos for him.

He likes it, and hes barely ever had problems.

The car he had the most problems with was his Mazeratti Quadroporte. He had it for like a month and it broke down three times! So he got ride of it and got the Audi S8.
My dad actually had a Mazeratti Bi-turbo a while back and the car had so many problems, the dealer gave him a new one free, no charge.

A '06 Kia Sportage with a busted back window from when I backed it up into a PARKED snowplow.

....It was epic win and fail at the same time. XD
....And I still have yet to get it fixed. >>;; *worry worry*

[Holy Knight]

I don't know if it counts, but... my brother and I are going to build a simple jet engine this summer in our garage and he'll stick it on a go-cart for his science project. It'll be the funkiest ride on the road. :lol:

As for cars themselves, I'd like to build my own if I ever acquire the knowledge to do so. Likelier, I'd just research for parts and get it custom built. I don't see myself owning a car for another 5 years or so, but when I do, I'll probably go electric or another form of fuel since gas is getting way too costly.

[shinri]

I"m thinking of getting a 335i BMW coupe for my first car, when I turn 16. I can't wait!



LOL! I sense a bit of an income/age disparity here! Forgive me, but for most "normal" people like myself, a 330i is an "aspirational" car that I have no hope in hell of buying for myself, even at my present stage in my life, since most of my personal life savings are about to be poured into my next home.

If what you say about your family situation is true, then just be thankful that you've grown up with some privileges that most of us can only dream of having. Don't ever take it for granted, and count yourself lucky for owning your own real estate @ the tender age of your mid-teens... Take advantage of the situation by learning as much as you can about your investments, and having the luxury to make your own mistakes without fear of becoming destitute (a very real fear for the rest of us!). Bottom line, don't waste the advantages you have. Make use of them to accomplish what you want to in life, assuming you've figured out what your goals are at this point.

[Caster13]

Don't be a typical rich teenager and blow it all of parties, drugs, and using it for being popular.


Unrelated, but I also hate how a lot of famous people think that "It's so hard being famous. The paparazzi never leave me alone, and I have so much to worry about." BULL-****ING-****! You live a life that people only dream about, a house the size of a department store, and you can get anything you can possibly think of. And you COMPLAIN!? give me a damn break.....

[SaMaster14]

I will tell you this. I know that I am sooooo privileged and I never ever take it for granted. I'm doing the best that I can to learn everything possible about investments and real estate, so that I can make what I have into a big success one day.

Plus, I'm not famous, I know celebrities and famous people, but my family isn't famous, they are just good at business and stuff..

I will never waste any of my advantages and I definitely will not blow anything on partying and drugs. I'm 15 and unlike many of my other wealthy friends, I have never touched drugs or alcohol, unless it was some wine at a jewish holiday thing.

Um, Thread-Starter (your UN frightens and confuses me...), don't know much about cars, don't care much about 'em neither... Don't know much about being rich, either :lol:... But I like your family's cars, 'cause they're shiny. *Nods head* :shifty: Heehee, save...


Thanks for the comment on the cars.

But my username frightenes you?
well my name is sam. I combined it with master, and 14 was a random number just added in there for fun.

[Caster13]

I think I can sum this up in a few, short, but true words: PICS, OR GTFO!! And I mean pics showing absolute and undeniable 100% proof.

If I got rich, I'd show a pic of myself, with a sign in front of me proving who I am, with stacks of high number bills in my hands. After that you would never see me again.

...Kenpachi, my boy, you should know better. everybody knows that we all lie on the internet, there are no real girls, and pics can be easily uploaded thorugh a photobucket account, and furthermore - NO ONE REALLY GIVES A RAT'S ARSE in the first place.

[Shiroiyuki]

...what do my parents...? :huh: Wow, age gap.


I used to drive a Probe (until it died), and a Thunderbird (until it....also died). Now I walk everywhere....

[taily]

I will tell you this. I know that I am sooooo privileged and I never ever take it for granted. I'm doing the best that I can to learn everything possible about investments and real estate, so that I can make what I have into a big success one day.

Plus, I'm not famous, I know celebrities and famous people, but my family isn't famous, they are just good at business and stuff..

I will never waste any of my advantages and I definitely will not blow anything on partying and drugs. I'm 15 and unlike many of my other wealthy friends, I have never touched drugs or alcohol, unless it was some wine at a jewish holiday thing.

I know for a fact there are other "Privileged" people on this forum, but they don't go saying "O WEL **** YA'LL I GOT MONEE!!!111!!1!!11!".

If you'd stop killing them maybe you wouldn't have to walk...walkings a good thing sometimes I suppose but atm its like 96+ Degrees out where I am....simply put if my Car's AC didn't work I would be taking vacation days any time the temp is over 90... walking is completely out of thew question (plus its 64 miles round trip to work anyhow :P)

Well, when they already have upwards of 70,000+ miles on them when I buy them....I don't really expect them to last forever, you know? I'm cheap, and running and maintaining a vehicle gets expensive. I go for the Happy Junker more often than naught.

And yeah, it's bloody hot here too. Muggy, so hot AND thick.

But it beats spending a fortune on gas *nods*. And I'll look great in a miniskirt :smokin:

[DavenIII]

PICS or GTFO :P

But really I'm not so sure, I think I'd rather spend the money on gas then deal with this heat personally. I never got a junker I wish I had though... a car I didn't have to worry about at all...the problem with that is I drive 25-30k miles a year so a happy junker wouldn't last me very long at all.

Well... I did post pictures. But if you really want 100% proof. I'll take a picture of me in my dads benz or my mom's jag... no problem :) Or, like the second part of your post suggests... I can just take a picture of myself... wearing my $3,500 tag heuer watch, my $2,000 gold chain and my $500 gold braclet..

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... ^ ok. now that's just silly.

next thing you know, you'll be posting pics of your girl - worth $2.

Please, my underwear costs more than that.

By the way SaMaster.....what I said before, about Taily needing to lay off, I take that back.

No one gives a crap how much money you have. Wanna know how much money I have? Do you care? No? Good, lesson learned.

Now, shut up while I buy you for ten cents and sell you on eBay for twenty dollars (or to the highest bidder).

[MirKz]

I like you more and more Shiroiyuki :)

[Xhalen]

Please, my underwear costs more than that.



Please, more information on your underwear....I'm working on my doctoral thesis which is basically about women and their underwear.

Thanks in advance.

Fine, but if you want to really impress us, put your girlfriend in the picture with you.




...Yeah, I thought not.

[taily]

everyone in this thread needs some lightening up, so here's a song:

everybody hates me,
nobody loves me,
I'm going put to eat worms

Big thiock juicey ones,
small thin slimey ones,
worms that squiggle and squirm,

"AUM!" bite their heads off
"SLURP" suck their guts out,
throw their skins away,

nobody knows how many worms I eat three times a day

[SapphireDream]

^ i dont think i wanna know what type of worms let alone how many you eat in one day, besides aren't they a delicacy somewhere *thinks* in South East Asia or something?

Going back to cars, i drive a '96 lexus es 300, but i have my eyes set on a Ferrari Enzo in two years. (God i hate having to save money)

Yeesh, wish I could save a cool million in 2 years. I thought I was making ze big bucks but apparently not.

You can't just purchase an Enzo from a dealer like your run of the mill Camry. You first have to establish a relationship with a dealer and begin your "initiation" into the world of Ferrari purchases by buying a used model as no new customers are allowed to purchase model year cars until five years after the first purchase.

After all of that is said and done, if your bank account passes muster, you purchase more cars, and Maranello likes you enough, you'll be placed on a waiting list for current model year cars. Ever notice outside of banks, very few people own the Enzo outright?

Oh, I know, after seeing it mentioned I did a brief look-up on an Enzo. 400 made(apparently all in 2003), usually people outside the loop buy the cars through auctions...I think I was just in shock from seeing someone mention they were saving up for one.

It's not an impossibility, but it would take 45 years at 3.50% APY if $100 was put away every week. Car collectors and enthusiasts usually don't rely on such methods to purchase cars, instead relying on relative wealth from business ventures or other means.

I started small and purchased a 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce for $700 in 1997 and am now on my second heavily modified BMW M3, though my forte lies in tuning Japanese imports and race prepping exotics.

I used to own a scary fast 91 Toyota MR2 with the "deathtrap" suspension and a heavily built turbo inline four, and I'm currently looking for another to test some ideas on maximizing fuel economy and efficiency while still being able to pull +1.0g of lateral acceleration and produce 500 horsepower

Whew, actually sounds like you've got a pretty interesting hobby(I say hobby as an assumption). Do you do any racing?

[Meggles]

Wow, this is my thread, we currently own a 1965 Impala SS Coupe. Its recently fallen into disrepair as we've run into a spot of hard times but my brother is planning on fixing it up. We also have a 1945 Ford(yes its a ford) Army Jeep (That's pretty much how I can describe it). We used to own an old Lincoln coonvertible(like the car Kennedy got shot in) but we had to sell it because it was a little high matinence. For our main cars we have a red 2008 Jeep Wrangler with standard shift and a black 2003 VW Golf. The golf may sound crappy but I love it.

[HSaabedra]

Started my first race at 16 in the ALMS at the Grand Prix of Texas as a reserve driver for Audi Racing Team Joest in the then new R8 prototype, did some one offs in the UK, France, and Spain, and had a shot at F1 thanks to Red Bull and their ultimately useless F1 Driver Search contest.

I'm going into drifting at some point with some backing from sponsors, but my intention is to begin my own engineering firm in the vein of All-American Racers.

[SapphireDream]

uhmm the reason i say that i am saving up for an Enzo is because a friend of mine has a Sypder and my Enzo will be partly owned by him only because he has the connection to help me buy it (he already owns a Ferrari.)

For those who are wondering how i can manage to get a cool 2.7 (estimate from dealer for my customizations) mil in two years, i am financially secure and i take big risk (it doest hurt to have side bets in life as well).

God i cant wait for two years from now. :)

So you're saving up all of that money for proxy ownership of an expensive car? Why not just do as I suggested since its much cheaper and you won't have to deal with all the red tape? It really screams "fake it till you make it/$40,000 millionaire" type of thinking.

What you just stated doesn't suggest financial security at all so I'm inclined to believe otherwise.

[SapphireDream]

^i've made myself known in the right circles when it comes to connections and whatnots.
AS for your suggestion, its greatly appreciated but i rather go through the whole mess. Besides taking the easy way out isn't realy my thing lolz.

I take market risks and so far they've been god to me. i know the market is unstable at the moment, but i dont mind. easy come easy go, right, but i have my save ventures as it, and thats where i get most of the capital towards my Enzo from. Besides, there are really bad drives here, and talk is cheap, thats why i made sure my car can perform before anything else.

I understand if your stil skeptical but thats your flaw.

[Shiroiyuki]

Remember that SaMaster fellow?

Yeah, do what I suggested he do, okay? <_<

[Reinas]

Meh...whatever...that car in your sig is really nice.
^_^

Yeah so I was going to follow that with a joke, but ah, I don't want to be banned. Car threads always somehow end up in PHAIL, turning out into, "my balls are bigger than your balls, but because I like to brag on the internet about what I'm using for compensation, I really don't have any balls!"

lolz i couldnt agree more as it is physically impossible for me to have balls, unless i have surgery but yea not gonna happen.

Sorry dont know SaMaster and therefore have no idea who or what you are refferring to. And what was it you suggested he do?

[Shiroiyuki]

Check the first page. He's the genius who started this thread.



And because he was going on in the same direction you seem to be taking, I told him to stop posting about his riches like anyone actually gives a crap. We don't.

Not. One. Bit.


So in case my point wasn't clear, as I doubt it was, you can cease the whole 'I take risks, life is grand!' spasm you're having. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[SapphireDream]

you act like i give a damn what you think. and for your information life aint grand. it sucks worst than hell.

Nifty, sounds like you've had some fun times behind the wheel of some pretty intense machines. I've always wondered what it would be like to get into an open wheel car and peel around a corner at 180 mphs.

[Mad_Maxx]
