Old cars or New Cars
 
Which ones do you prefer. I prefer older cars but there are exceptions in new ones. I know more older(Pre 1990's) cars that I do newer cars(1990+)Also don't forget to post some pics of 'em!

Oldies. The car makers surely had the right combination back then...

WhiteMKIV 04-02-2008 10:16 PM

Hmmmmmmmm MKIV hmmmmmmmmmmm 90's! lol just my opinion.....

noturday 04-03-2008 12:57 AM

haha dude are you kidding? your deffinition of old is pre 1990? an old car in my mind is somthing like pre 1980 at least, if not pre-1975(ish)

really it depends on what i'm looking for.
comfort and reliability, new cars (probably wouldnt want anything older than 1997 tho)
power and classic good looks, old cars (pre-1975)

as you can see there is a huge gap, but nobody likes the cars of the 80s anyways haha :P

since my truck is post 1990 i'll have to vote new cars on this one though

Straight up old skool stuff in the Bay.:cool:

no choice for both? oh well... you can definitely bet that i like old cars, the 90's is when the firebird went bad. (gee i hope the 2009 one really does, well, exist.)

4x4Daddy 04-03-2008 08:54 AM

I likes both older and newer cars. I vote for newer car because I likes Hummer H1, they come out at 1994 and always be my most favorite transporation on the planet. I'm saving up and trying get decent used Hummer H3 with offroad package. I likes H3 better than H2 because of gas milage. I wants go offroading and camping at same, maha ha ha...

Sky 04-03-2008 10:15 AM

I vote new because I like new technology and the advances in the auto industry are pretty fascinating, to me at least. Plus I own two new cars, 2000Integra Turbo, 2007 Chevy Cobalt LS and drive my parent's 93' 3000GT every now and then. I guess my Bronco is a 1988, but it is a beast trooper camping rig!

texan_idiot25 04-03-2008 10:29 AM

Classic, pre-late 70s and a select few 80s cars.

Nothing beats being able to actually see your enigne, much less sit next to it, and work on it under the hood. Classic styling that was not driven by the bean counters in their cubicles.

Aerodynamics be ****ed, I have chrome bumpers and tail fins!

The 4th gen Firebirds were the fastest, best handling Firebirds ever. :eyecraz: And no, the 09 does not, at all, exist. ;)

4banger 04-03-2008 10:44 AM

I like the 2000 Honda Civic Si, 1990 Mitsubushi Eclipse GSX, The Mitsubushi Lancer all generations, 2005 Subaru WRX Sti, Toyota AE86 Levin Coupe. Just to
name a few.

well firebird does have a point how there is no both choice?:-? i mean some older cars are reeeeeaaaal nice,but alot of newer cars are trying to replacing in my favor and in alot of other's favors.:nod:

One of my all time favorites is the 1987 Buick GN. My dad has one, here's some pictures of it with my old camera.

i love the old school metal with a twist of new school.

basically 70's cars with brand new motors :) and with a few little updates to make them more driveable in what ever way im looking for. example....

my 79 civic... building it with a new motor, ditching the crappy carbs and converting it to FI. new school power FTW!

next car i will do is a 1960's/70's datsun 510, with a SR or RB swap.

After that (or maybe before just depends when i can ****ing find one) ill do a 1970's skyline with a RB or SR swap.

also want a old school mini with a b18 swap. again old car, new power.

and some day a looooong ways down the road when normal gas is just unbarrable/gone, ill prob change out the 327 in my camaro for a newer ls1 or something and run e85.

heres some examples of my prime cars...

I like light cars. most pre '80 cars are body-on-frame.....so they're out.

most anything newer than 2000 has too much wrapped up in insulation, crumple zones, and luxury features. not to mention computer systems that think they know more than you know (which, unfortunately, is true for most people).


yea, I love my 2500 lb 4WD wagon. no airbags, no ABS, no traction control, no garbage, just car.

lol, so true. plus what's with plastic bumpers? why can't cars just have nice aluminum blocks and/or rods like they used to? plastic is preppy. aluminum is all out aggressive.

Titantaw12 04-03-2008 04:54 PM

I prefer New cars liek The 04 Mustang. But Some of the older cars are nice looking.

Sky 04-03-2008 06:59 PM

That Mini has a B18C5 crammed in it? I bet that's a fun car to drive! Especially with VTEC , YO!

Lighter and cheaper to mass-produce. Better fuel economy with lightweight materials, but a higher death rate.

You pick.

LOL haha
