That's a fairly accurate assessment.

This is sort of where my biases come in... I dislike the Corvette too, just because.

The Camaro I hate the most is the Iroc-Z, BTW. It was the car of the 80s in my neighbourhood that the modded Civic has replaced today, at least in terms of attitude.

Bingo. Forget the engines. The difference is if you are in a classic VW bug people like you. If you are in a Camaro you are a douche-bag with no penis.

That 80s thing was for mullet wearing losers (I'm gonna wear lots of black shirts and blast AC/DC!). I've never met anyone who has/had a Camaro that I've been particularly impressed with.

I'm not sure why, whenever someone doesn't like a car, they bring length or lack of penises into the picture. I mean, it's already happened twice in this thread alone.

Dakar the Fourth · May 8, 2008, 12:36 PM

If you're in a classic VW nowadays, you either incredibly old or a hippy.

You're taking it far too literally, and these types of statements are not just about cars of course.

P.S. I don't like the Toyota Avalon either, but it has nothing to do with penis length.

Penis length comments are appropriate with cars like the Camaro, however.

Exactly. There are two Camaros at my school. One's an '88 IROC-Z and the others a 2000. The owners both have this same "Don't mess with me, I'll bust a cap in yo grill" attitude. The 2000 is absolutely disgusting, it's a V6 and has dual Flowmasters. Sounds like a toilet.

Hey, I like the Scirocco and Kharmann Ghia. They aren't really hippy cars.

Dakar the Fourth · May 8, 2008, 01:36 PM

oops, I meant the Bug, specifically.

Dude, I owned a Scirocco. Still my favorite car I had.

Because who usually buy sports cards and muscle cars and compensating for either their hight or penis length. Scientific fact

What about people that buy Miatas, Elises, or S2000s?

Though, I have to go to work in a few hours. Luckily, we have kegs there, just not this beer. We do have the Sierra Nevade ESB and Pale Ale though.

Some of the mods have been a bit prickly about staying on topic lately. I won't name names.

But hell, they're not reading this one.

Absolutely, since Rumor drives a Miata.

And I wouldn't sully an S2000 or Elise by putting in the same class.

Hey now! I used to have a Miata. They aren't fast (top speed) but I'll be damned if they aren't zippy.

Yeah, they are awesome. I want an '88 16V.

Dakar the Fourth · May 8, 2008, 04:30 PM

I wasn't fond of the ground effects on that thing. I was always curious as to how the Wolfsberg V6 was.

imitchellg5 · May 8, 2008, 04:32 PM

True. There is always something attractive about the original design.

Dakar the Fourth · May 8, 2008, 04:38 PM

The Mark I had a nice aggressive look, but I always preferred my Mark II. I can't say I'm a big fan of the Mark IV.

Honestly, I wish I had had the money to pick up a Corrado about 10 years ago, but now they're just too old to take a chance on.

imitchellg5 · May 8, 2008, 05:39 PM

Yeah. Very rarely does one see a Scirocco or Corrado in good condition today, especially for sale.

Ya I bet they can get you to the beauty salon or gay bar in a jiffy

imitchellg5 · May 8, 2008, 05:49 PM

Oh snap. Miatas are very fun to drive. I would have gotten one actually if 1) it didn't snow so freakin often here, 2) I could fit 6'3" frame in one comfortably for 200 miles and 3) I could find one in good shape.

Most of the Corrados I see (which is like 3) are tuned and tricked out, making the price unreasonable for a car with well over 100k miles.

It'd be great as a spare/summer car, but not a luxury I really have the space for at the moment.

design219 · May 11, 2008, 02:55 PM

I saw it last night too, and understand why people not familiar with the cartoon would be befuddled. They tried to keep the flavor of the original (albeit on acid) and made it a very different movie.

To me the most remarkable thing was the casting of Spritle. He looked and expressed like John Goodman (Pops).
