The Help Danny Pick a New Car Thread.

[Inline Sex]

I vote for a Geo Metro with bad brakes and a lot of play in the steering wheel. Drive it like you stole it bro.

Edit: Seat belts are for pussies bro

Danny, find a good condition 4-door E36 M3. I'm a staunch E36 hater, but I have always loved the 4-door M3.

Wait for the 2012 Evo it is amazing looking and a beast.

I say stick to something you can pay off right away.

Car payments + newer car insurance sucks IMO. Unless you have a good record of course.

I'd take an m5 over an m3 for DD duties. White e39 m5 with the peanut butter interior and I'm sold.

Sure, that's why the U.S automotive industry is dead......

You think it was reliability that killed American specifically GM vehicles, you don't read much do you? They were no.1 manufacturer for 50+ years, while doing that they had the largest employee benefit system built during that time. No company no matter what product they make can afford GM's retiree benefit system. American cars are on par with everyone else.

I say STI over e46 m3.....driven both, the e46 is amazing but not raw enough.

Or rev too hard. The SR20's head design is inherently flawed. Damn rocker arms.

Yeah, but still more reliable than the ka24's

Its dead due too way too many years of people with your stereotype that dont look to what they have done to improve things

Also our economy is total shit as is most of the globes, makes it some what hard to sell cars

[Chaos Theory]

Seems you are not keeping up with the world, US cars are now on par and have surpassed most of the Japanese and many of the German counter parts in regards to Reliability.

I'd like a newish car.

Mitsu Evo

Datsun 510 w/ sr20det and still have plenty left over, their known to be pretty reliable as well as long as you don't push too much boost.

Why buy an American car if you want something reliable? That makes no sense.

Subaru gearboxes are practically made of glass, so I wouldn't be getting an STI.

If the earlier model Evos, (1, 2 & 3) are available in the states that's what I would be getting. Much rawer driving experience than you'd have with the later model Evos. Late Evos have AIDS, driving aids.

EDIT: What about a Celica GT4? AWD rally dominating (in its time) sports car with Toyota's awesome build quality.
