And now for something completely different

Ahhh! The automobiles of the 80s. I saw a Chevy Citation rollin' down the road last weekend.

Nah. Chrysler K car.

 

[teabagger11]

Its hard to believe these cars still exist

 

[JDurk]

Nah. Chrysler K car.

Yes, definitely a K car, was just remarking about the Citation and don't know how the shitty shit from the 80s is still operating.

Cripes sake were those horrible. I started out working on those when brand new. Amazing any are still functional.

saved their ass - my Dad purchased a Newport 4dr a year or two prior - it got 9 mpg tops (idk what the sticker said, i drove it when i was 17 - and filled it.)
easily fit 7 people with the bench seats! plenty of room in the trunk for a few more.

sure the k-car was disposable - but was easily assembled, a reasonable size, and really saved when
gas went over $0.50/gal. at combined driving in the >30 mpg range.

impressive jump from envisioning the pinto to the aries.......ok, maybe not.

Makes mom's 78 Grand Lemans Sport look hot.

I guess if you don't want people to think you are driving a $180k car, that's the one to get.

Ha yeah it's better than white but a GT3 needs a big GT3 painted on the sides

 

[sundaydoug]

This will sell for $30k and 90% of the people wouldn't know the difference.

For me that would be the best part of owning that GT3

Exactly. The only attention you get is from enthusiasts.

Exactly. The only attention you get is from enthusiasts who are less than 10 ft behind you to read that tiny badge.

My answer would be: "too plain, don't care". If I'm dropping 200K on a proper sports car, it's gotta be a screaming color - and needs a big wing/spoiler

Orange or green, but can't stand the big wings.

 

[rick81721]

Orange or green, but can't stand the big wings.

Depends on the car for me. Big wing on a gt3 rs, McLaren or Huracan performante is okay. On this, nope:

Frogs are hot

 

[Danimal]

I guess orange isnt that bad either and is more appropriate for the season

 

[rick81721]

I would go with one of these:

Good timing with all the Porsche talk.

Saw this on the way to get my free snowblower yesterday.

Back wheels so much wider than the front

thinking a porsche specific thread to keep @Carson motivated might be coming.
