Is an E30 prestigious?

^ isn't that LeMons?

No, not prestigious, just like how E36s aren't either.

If they were even somewhat rare that would be one thing. But theres enough shitboxes to go around. That said, lets do an annual E30 demo derby.

There was a dude on here or maybe r3v that I know who did a whole bunch of ridiculous riced body work to his $500 e30, painted it pink, etc. The whole community made an uproar "why would you do that to an E30, omg, do that to a civic, etc"

It made it pretty clear that people thought it was some sort of fucking gem that he trashed.

In my eyes, an e30 is no cooler than a 240, older camaro, etc
It's only slightly cooler than civics, neons, and cavaliers because it's RWD.

I just had to vote for the HS comment, other than that, no, not really.

[Jonny Cash]

false. Yer whole post is false.

(except the sentra thing)

I beleive the e30 was prestigous. Until a fwd Taurus SHO won the lemons event.. And next year when an fwd Eldorado wins, everyone will crush their e30's, rendered useless.

No but some people only see the roundel.

Newman got me thinking... do people on r3vlimited think that an E30 is prestigious?

Think about the connotations of the word, prestigious, before you blindly vote.

Prestige:

• It is a BMW (Worst. Reason. Evar.)
• You get to drive away from street races in a BMW. After getting spanked by a Honda Odyssey.
• You can even adapt some Volvo parts to it. Volvo is a renowned Swedish auto manufacturer.

Not cool:

• A homeless man with 500 bucks can buy one
• It looks like a 1991 Nissan Sentra
• Out of the box, slow as balls
• Out of the box, handles like shit
• It's old
• It's usually rusty
• Cabins usually smell musty, like Farbin Kaiber after he runs around 400 meters on a hot summer's day in Idaho.

Not salient:

• It's RWD. This has nothing to do with the word prestige.
