Kristina's Car

It would have to be both attractive and uncommon. Oh, and preferrably front wheel drive.

 

how are those sc300's in the snow? reliability? maintenance cost?

 

the 3.2cl's are much too common and not very attractive for her.

[slick]

The SC300's are good cars. Very good build quality, seem to run forever (IIRC, it's basically a Supra minus the turbo's). A good set of winter/snow tires, and it should be alright.

[mra32]

turbo beetle?

[RobertISaar]

Aurora? i love me the early models...

 

She does't like how monte carlos look. She thinks they're quite unattractive.

 

BLASPHEMY!

yeah its a N/A Supra. they are pretty desirable so likely out of her range.

Just looking around locally, they can be had in that price range pretty easily.

[GOT2B GM]

Buy a mint 88 Fiero GT

Buy a mint 88 Fiero GT

 

do they even exist anymore?

 

its been a long time since i've seen a GT, let alone a 88, and even then they were almost always beat to shit.

[GOT2B GM]

see sig, they do exist, but are rare.

[Addicted2bass]

You could always get a aftermarket sunroof or moonroof in whatever car she gets. Just something to keep in mind.

[Mach Jace]

Screw the requirements, I'd "wtf" if I saw her driving that for sure

You knoooowww you want it

[Galaxie500XL]

There's a white Lumina Z34 at a local body shop here...it's white...looks like a '94.

 

You could always have a sunroof added, cars tend to cost less here in Tennessee, I paid less than $3,000 for my '95 CS convertible DOHC a couple of months ago...... and she'd still be under budget.

 

No supercharger, though.

[jeremy]

did anything ever become of this search?

[xtremerevolution]

did anything ever become of this search?

 

 

Not yet. Any more ideas?

[Mach Jace]

You know...theres this guy I know with this Jaguar...its pretty lightweight and gets amazing gas mileage when you roll it down a hill. Might wanna look into that

 

 

[jake91]

I just about pissed my pants laughing :bonk:

[Radnsmash]

Well...I'd go with the Geo Metro hatchback.

[SigEpCutlass]

Andrei - I doubt she'd be interested but my 4dr cutlass is white. I'm looking to sell it pretty damn soon. Let me know if there's even the slightest chance she'd be interested. I'd throw in both STBs, the FFP poly dogbones, and an extra set of cutlass 15" alloys if she wanted them. Drop me a PM.

 

[xtremerevolution]

I'll ask her, but for now she's really liking the vw jettas GLI and GLX VR6. She can't stand a slow car, and the GLI is way too expensive. How are those jetta VR6's?

I'm thinking about selling it for 2grand or less if that matters without looking at KBB. All VW with anything other than a 4cyl you should stay way away from.

[Breakdown]

Can you post a pic of Kristina so I can tell what kind of car might be best for her?

 

 

Thanks!
