Dropping a line.
Sidenote, which one:
• firebird
• grand am
• BMW
• camaro
Also, what are your takes on car brands. My father's opinion sucks, and my brothers are useless. Need to give my dealer a list of cars to buy at an auction for me to choose from.
MAZERATI WOOT BROOOOOOM.
BMW ? My dad has a 750i series, it's great :
or get a 4x4 like chad : )
I'm bad with cars.
I love the BMW, it's just of certain parts break you need the company made tool to fix it.
Meaning: take it to a shop that is going to charge you XX amounts of dollars, or find someone who has it.
I am torn between luxury and power. BMW would give me both, but mechanical things are meant to break x.x I just don't know the rate at which most of these cars break down-- like Chevy, their newer cars fall apart after 5 years or 200k miles.
What do you mean your dealer?
Also, get a Nissan. They're awesome and if you can convert one of the ones from Japan, they're super fast.
Skyline R34, Silvia S15, 240sx (This one is legal in the U.S.!) etc.
my dealer = long time family friend's brother who sells us cars from the Dealer's only auctions without a profit. So if he comes across a car for $2000, instead of selling it for $4500 he sells it to us for $2000.Quote:

Well, if it were a 1970 camaro/firebird, I don't think this thread would even exist...
Does BMW mean also MINI and Rolls-Royce?
I wish I could afford a rolls-Royce.Quote:

I seriously can't make up my mind if I want 101% reliable with a warranty and big price tag, or a 50% relaiable with a small price tag
Going to the bank later in the week to see how I stand on a car loan if i do get a NEW one. Fuck financing through those car dealerships. I can get a better interest rate through my bank.
You are right on that one ; )Quote:

Actually a Mini sounds better for ya, less chance of theft ,easier to drive in a city & a fine girl like you m'am has enough attention, just more trouble rollin' in a fine ass car.Quote:

I love the mini. My dad hates it because it is a small car and "can't be safe in a wreck". Even though one of the reasons I want one is because I saw it get into a wreck with a HUGE ford truck and won. I was amazed. It fulfill my luxury an power needs, and my brother has worked on many before-- so he knows the cars very well.Quote:

I consciously choose it a month or two ago when I did a custom designed one on the website and printed it out tacking it to the fridge saying "I want this." for my brother to find. ( *｀ω´)Quote:

MINI is known both for safety and reliability. Parts may be a bitch to get(dunno how it is over there). Plus they are sexy.Quote:

BMW's are sturdy if you take pretty good care of them. My brother has one. However, there are some problems which are dominant in some of the BMW series, which have to do ALOT with the engine. My brother takes very good care and it still happened a few times to him. A more severe case of someone who abused their car (delivery guy i knew) oh man, his car broke down every other day -_-. Overall though, I just like driving in BMW's :P
By "taking care of them", I am assuming strict routine maintence? If so, I can manage that much.Quote:

Next thing I'm going is buying a jacket with a tiger on theback and a hat and driving around pretending I'm Rocky Balboa.

The oldest year I found in working condition is a 1980. it's almost like they are nonexistent in LA. Still looking everyday. I will have a 1970s model one day.Quote:

Smokey And The Bandit Edition is my goal. There are a lot in Florida and there is a big restoration community in NY I think.Quote:
