Fantasy Cars

Well I don't get the sarcasm, I'm old and banged too much head so I'm going to take this thread seriously.

A 1965-67 Chevy Impala SS convertible is my first choice.

After that anyone of the 60's muscle cars -  GTO, Charger, Chevelle SS, Camaro...

No reissues, they blow.

 
Self cleaning and dog hair repelling.  It has to be an old chevy too.

 
My first car was a 65 gto slapstick. My Dad purchased it for "me" when i was 13.....lol! Then.....novas, impalas, camaros.......

 
I must be dense because I don't get the sarcasm either.

But I do love me some muscle cars!

Chevelles and Camaros are the tops.

For fantasy maybe something rare like a Yanko Camaro.

We go to a lot of car shows and drool over anything old and shiny.

 
I used to want a Porsche 928 because of the movie, Risky Business, that star's Rebecca De Mornay.  I remember the "train scene", yep,   WOW!!

And then there was the Ferrari Testarossa.  From the tv series Miami Vice.  In college I used to watch it every week and think, I am going to get a Testarossa, when I get a job!!  I wanted the "red head", car.  So did everyone else in my dorm,  at the time, it was popular.

The Porsche 928 is not that great. One of the reasons they don't make it anymore, but instead have replaced it with the 911. I had a 928, up until a few years ago, then sold it to a friend of mine for a low price who just "had" to have it. Basically put, the car is just too dam heavy and pushing down the clutch when changing gears, you'd think you were driving an 18 wheeler transport truck. And I'm a BIG guy.It's also very difficult to see out of due to the positioning of the windows and the interior buttons are humungous - as if it was designed for a blind person.

I did like the front headlights which popped up and down though. But that's about it.

 
I really was not being sarcastic when I started this. It was serious.

Mine was one of the older thunderbirds, 2 seater, convertable. I think "55 or "56You still see two-seat 1956 Ford Thunderbirds on the boulevards of Beverly Hills, which is only fitting. Ford might have been inspired by European sports cars, but the Thunderbird ended up an all-American boulevardier convertible designed for comfort and smooth, powerful straightline performance. That the "Little Birds" were also uncommonly handsome only hastened their climb to "instant classic" status, one reason so many survive today.






The 1956 Ford Thunderbird was an instant classic, and remains so to this day.

A sturdy steel body and amenities like roll-up windows were other appealing T-Bird virtues. As proof, the debut '55 outpolled Chevrolet's fiberglass Corvette by 23 to 1 at 16,155 units. The '56 slipped to 15,631, but that was hardly bad for a specialty car in a "fall-back" sales year.

You had the 928 a couple years ago???? 

I have not seen one on the road for almost 15 years now!

I have a BMW and will get a BMW M3 in a couple of months, want to race?

Dear @unknown1212.... I think I've made it pretty clear about 5 times now that I'm not into "racing" around in Sedans.
If I were in Higschool or the owner of a Ferrari or Lamborghini, perhaps I might consider.

But a BMW M3 is hardly considered a "racing car". Stick to the video games. Much safer and nobody gets hurts.

Hi Snowblower,

Fine, I was think about a race track so it's much safer but if you can't handle then fine.

A "race track"? Are you kidding me. Please say you are....

Honestly,my friend, I have MUCH more important things to do with my time than "race" around a track in non-race cars. What is it you wanna prove, that your future "BMW M3" is faster then my Benz (which I don't even race around)? 

Ok, I'll save you the nonsense. I concede defeat. The "Yellow Jersey" is yours for the taking. Viva La Paris. Pop the champagne  /default_tongue.png

My Benz is shit. Your BMW's are bleepin' awesome. Just keep reminding yourself and EVERYONE on this board, and the title of this thread just might come true, if enough Pixy dust is chucked around..

  1. 3 @ 3ak: @xenxra damn shame, can't find any of the rc stims
  2. xenxra @ xenxra: @3ak mostly, will prob be gone entirely by end of summer imo
  3. F @ frozenSR17: hope everyone has a nice start 2 their weekend. "keep it one hunnid," as someone once said to me
  4. 3 @ 3ak: 4f-mph dried up?
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  6. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  8. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  10. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  11. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  12. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  13. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  14. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  15. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  16. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  18. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  19. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  20. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
