Boba Rhett Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 My Swampies, I am in need of your assistance. I'm trying to find the right car for me and I was hoping some of you could help guide me down the correct path. I've been thinking of something along the lines of these: 64 Impala SS 65 Mustang Late 50s/early 60s Bel Air Or maybe a 64 Galaxy (See the attachment with my pimpin' elf) Don't ask me why, I just like these styles. Now here are some questions, 1. I'm nearly six and a half feet tall, am I going to be able to fit into any of these cars? 2. Breaking down. Do I not have a clue what I'm getting myself into as far as repairs go? Is it going to be hell? 3. Insurance. Some of these come with awfully big engines. Am I going to have a super high insurance rate? I heard it wasn't as big of a problem on older cars. 4. If not any of these cars, what should I get?
-s/<itzo- Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 stang definetly. i can see you pimpin in that car.
leXX Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Get an Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 like me. Beautiful kick ass car. My baby...
Reborn Outcast Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Well if you're going to choose one of those 3 cars, go for the stang. She's so beautiful...
Rogue Nine Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Bleh. Go foreign like Ped said. But if you're set on those things then definitely go with the Mustang. Best lookin' one outta the bunch and probably the most reliable as well.

Rogue Nine Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 That it is. I love the front license plate too.
leXX Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Hehe, thnx. Well I couldn't leave the real number on there so I thought I'd jazz it up a bit.
XERXES Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 my absolute favorites i would seriously give almost anything to be in that room right now.
Dath Maximus Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 rhett as an owner of a mustang, i feel i should say BUY THE STANG YOU FOOL!!!!
Taos Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 I do like the Stang Rhett, though I don't know if you will be able to fit in it. I know you could fit in an Impala [my neighbor used to have one and he is a big guy like yourself]. If you are going to get a car of that era then I think you should be expecting to put some time in with a wrench. Though of course, it depends on how good it is when you buy it. If I were you, I would be expecting to do some work.......those are 35 year old cars, they will need some help. One of the first things you should add would be seat-belts if you can. Seems like most of those cars never had them. Insurance shouldn't be too much of a problem, even with the large engines that some of these cars carry. The only thing you should worry about is if you have poor driving record now. The Bel-Air is kind of a nice looking ride, I haven't seen too many of those before......seems like everyone has a Stang or an Impala. If you want something different, go for the Bel-Air.
Clem Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 of those 3 the mustang but ANY car that old is gonna have reliability problems lexx ur car is very good looking and nice ... but the 147 is sexier both a bit pricey i would say to u rhett that u should get a mini (cos im like that) but someone as big as u might not like it (altho i know people who are as big as u and quite happily drive minis) thats proper 1's not that german crap but my general advice is get something different .... be brave GET A MINI THEY ROCK
greedo626 Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 dude, the mustang. definitely the mustang. btw, leXX, sweet car;)
Darth Groovy Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 If it were me, I would go with Aston Martin, (cloaking device and machine guns optional!) ' For you though, I would say you can't go wrong with an Impala!
Dath Maximus Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Now this would be the perfect car, jet engine, sheilds, machine guns, bombs, bullet proof. Chicks dig the car
Hekx Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 To me it says, "65 Mustang. The Rhett mobile." You know you want it. As for the last car. If the elf can barely fit in it, how are you going to?
Boba Rhett Posted March 21, 2003 Author Posted March 21, 2003 That's it! I'm getting the batmobile! I guess I'm going to have to go find a 65 mustang to sit in and try it on for size. I think this place a quarter of a mile away from me may have one.
Acrylic Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Originally posted by leXX Get an Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 like me. Beautiful kick ass car. My baby... ok, how much is that...in US dollars...it looks like its AT LEAST $50,000. I want it!!! *cries*
Bob Gnarly Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Originally posted by leXX Get an Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 like me. Beautiful kick ass car. My baby... wow LeXX i know your Rich! thats a nice house and a spit shined car
Boba Rhett Posted March 21, 2003 Author Posted March 21, 2003 It's actually not that bad as far as price goes. I don't want one though.
Sivy Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Mustang! Then we can call you mustang sally! …. not that we would, but at least the opportunity is there if the occasion arises where calling you mustang sally would somehow maybe be considered humorous er... is someone going to answer that phone?
