Rogue Nine Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 I wanna see a gunboat made. *huggles his Wally plushie*
edlib Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Gee, that's a swell car. Some people really ought to get a life, methinks.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 I'll be impressed when someone actually creates a working, flying A-wing. Until then, this is small frys.
Flying Beastie Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Actually, I think it's a pretty sweet ride. You should submit it to the Star Wars Insider magazine --they like things like this to spice up their lettercols. Is it still street-legal? (The aurebesh controls and external add-ons could do bad things to your Governmentally-Imposed Safety StandardsTM.) Guidelines must be maintained!--Safety Megatron
Nute Gunray Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 dude, it's a freaking del sol. under no circumstance is a del sol cool, even if doc brown were to make a time machine out of one, it can fly, turn into a giant combat robot, or travel to the moon.
Jabba The Hunt Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 nice idea but I wouldn't want to be seen riding around in it.
General_Trageto Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 hmmm, interesting design, I personally woud prefer an imperial style Corvette. However, as I am blind and so will never get to drive a car, screw that thought!
Elegy Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 Oh my hell. Hahaha, a Honda driver would do something like that to their car. If he really wanted a sick car he'd have taken a Mustang Cobra, or a Camaro, or a Firebird. But then, perhaps it's best that no car like those got defiled.

Please refrain from being stupid in the future. Firstly, anyone that bought a del sol in the first place is stupid but don't call all Honda owners stupid. The Accord is one of the best cars out there right now, by a long shot. Secondly, "sick?" I wish everyone that used that particular piece of slang, along with "tight," would be rounded up and executed in death camps. Thirdly, do they even make any of those cars anymore? I think that might, MIGHT speak of their quality in recent years, particularly the Camaro. And perhaps you've never seen what rednecks have done to those cars. Flames on a brown firebird is an atrocity that doesn't even begin to compare to the A-wing del sol.
edlib Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 The new Mustang concept car shown at all the major auto shows this year is pretty sweet. It seems a pretty sure thing that some variation of it will be in production soon. I would buy one. See details here: http://www.stangnet.com/mustanggtconcept/
edlib Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 Most likely my next car. I'm already leasing a 2001 Passat, but it's only the 4-cylinder turbo. I might just buy it off when the lease is up. Or I might just get a new lease on the current model. I really like my car... but... the W-8 engine, with 4-Motion... (*imitates Homer Simpson drooling*) Sweet!
Nute Gunray Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 I was THIS CLOSE to getting 97 jetta a few years ago. It had a spoiler and a sunroof and a cd changer and everything, but it was $2000 more than could be afforded. I loved the mid/late 90s Jettas when they were still kinda squarish. I was forced to get a 95 Neon and i've wanted to set fire to it every day for the last three years. My next car is definitely going to be a Lancer. They're nice cars and not too expensive. My dream car is a 96 Porsche 993T that's essentially a GT2 in a 993's body. Only like $250k. Only.
edlib Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 The ULTIMATE Porsche for me will always be the 959. No way I'll EVER be able to afford one in this lifetime, but it would be my dream car. The VW dealership where I got my car is also a Mitshubishi dealer. I looked at the Lancers, and I think they're nice. But I had my heart set on a German sedan. My last car was a fully decked-out '87 Audi 5000 CS Turbo that I bought off the vice-president of the computer-chip company where my mother works, (for a steal, I might add!) and it was hard to even look at aything less seriously after that. Unforunately it ended up needing a few serious repairs that would have ended up costing me as much as payments on a new car. Otherwise I'd still be driving it. It was a little big for me though. The VW seems a better fit for me. At the time I was looking for a new car I had a Ford guy try to talk me into a Focus by telling me it was every bit as good as the Passat, and I had to just laugh in his face. I made the right choice.
Nute Gunray Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 Ack the 959! The rear end is entirely too enormous on those things for my taste. This makes them my third least favorite Porsche (I hate the 944 and the 914) The closest I'll ever come to owning a Porsche is my Arctic Silver 2002 911 ZipZap. Zoom zoom!
edlib Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Yeh, it's butt-ugly. But it's also insanely fast, with acceleration stats usually found on Rice-Burner Jap-Superbikes, and handling characteristics more commonly found on Formula One racers. There's also the total untouchability factor. Another car I have always lusted over: The Lotus Esprit. The biggest problem with it is that it's British, with all the quirky maintainance issues that implies. German supercars are just so much more reliable.
Nute Gunray Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 yeah, the British aren't the best electrical engineers in the world. and even if you buy a traditionally British car, like a rolls royce, it's technically a german car these days. I think Daimler owns Rolls Royce now. My Neon is a money pit if i've ever seen one. It takes about a day and a half for a quart of oil to leak out of it. As you can imagine, four quarts of oil every 6-8 days is not cheap.
edlib Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Used to have a Subaru just like that. I always kept a case of oil in the trunk. Got to know the guys who worked in the automotive section of the local wholesale club on a first name basis.
Jem Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 You can all be ashamed with your dream wheels because I have the ultimate ride, I present to you: . . . . . . . . . . . . The OC Transpo Bus: This baby is the sweetest ride there is, nothing tops it. Best thing is that it comes with it's own roads so traffic is rare hence it's the fastest one. That's Hurdman Station by the way...
Nute Gunray Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 do those things even come in other colors? i swear every city has that same exact color scheme.
