Lemme know what you're looking for and I'll tell you what's up dude.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. As long as the car doesn't have like a crappy MPG I'm fine. I'm just looking for a car that's like smaller or narrower in size than most others. I'd get a beetle, but those are out of my price range and also too small haha.

I dunno, I just feel paranoid that I'm further out of the lane than I really am, so that's why I'd rather get a smaller car.

The olders ones look smaller compared to the newer ones. If I don't get that, I'll probably end up getting an Accord. I'll be like the 50th person (literally) that drives an Accord lol

That's BADASS. And what a carp' trip, I have the EXACT model of the Batmobile it's designed after:

It's undoubtedly my FAVORITE Batmobile.
i fixed my link to be relevant to my post but lol
Aww. I like the other one. Especially the Joker design on the front of the hood, great touch.

Also, no suicide doors? D:
That automatically merits it a "LAME" label.

Just looked 'em up. Not diggin' the looks Speechless

'69 Fastback 'stang. Now that's cool. Or a Boss.
I was referring more to power/performance than looks.

oh, you'd be surprised on how some companies will try to make things like vans look cool

my friend has a catalog from origin that has a few body kits for a honda odyssey

an ODYSSEY (however my family has one and while it's around the same age as my own, it's still functional and even our mechanic says it's as if it's new).

George Clooney does the Japanese Odysey ad campaigns.

Well, if that's the case, and you're on a $3k budget, just go with a 90s model Toyota or Honda. Can't go wrong there, best cars around. But if you're trying to save on mpg, you gotta go with the Geo Metro Wink
Thanks man! I'll probably end up with that Celica or some Accord haha.

Definitely go for the Honda, I remember when we still had our little white 13 year old Honda. Rather fast too.
b-b-b-but everyone has an accord or a civic :((

Hahaha. And no one drives engine swapped 240s?

..riiiiiiiiiiiight. Wink

Plus, those are very popular cars for good reason. They're manufactured very well, are pretty damn economic, and parts are cheap as hell for DIY maintenance (aswell as not sucking to work on).

I'll second springing for a toyota or honda, but I like Hondas more in general. an EG hatch back are great little cars. EKs too.

so G you should be able to find a 92-98 civic hatch back for 3000. really good with a 1.6.

i'm a badass
when i get my license i'll be driving a periwinkle blue corolla from 1989
I enjoy Car design, and know a car designer and others who are passionate about it.

If there is a car though that wipes the floor with design, we all agreed upon this one:

Audi R8 TDI Le Mans Concept

Don't even get me started with this one. Go check it out for yourself!

What's with all the metal grilles that look like chicken wire all over it? What are they used for?

IMO most awesome car ever is the Ford GT40 http://www.ritzsite.net/AC_Cobra/1968_Fo...0_Mk_I.jpg
