$6k Limit!

[sportyaccordy]

This is getting a lot more creative responses.  Just wait until I drop the price to $1,500!

I got my car for $1500... however after the motor swap, and all my suspension work, I will be in about $4K And I'm prob gonna sell it around tax time

1) 1998-2001 Subaru 2.5RS

WHERE?!?!?!

[the Teuton]

WHERE?!?!?!

Where not?  For $5000-9000, they're pretty common.  $6000 is about average anymore.  Go to RS25.com.  Be impressed with the numbers and prices of 2.5RSs for sale.

[Submariner]

A friend has that EXACT car. 

[Submariner]

Yes. Along with your 2.5 kids, boring homemaker wife and all while you have an affair with that 23 year old receptionist out in front of your desk.

a.  He drives two 13 year old Volvo's.  The closest thing he's going to have to an affair is a 20 year old blow up doll he affectionally named "flo"

b.  How in all good faith can you criticize anyone for having dull taste in cars?

I would never buy 4 cars, especially with a limit of $6,000 on each.  I'd buy 1 or 2 cars with $24,000 though.

Therefore, I will boycott this thread because I think it's stupid.

Those last two need a lot of work, probably putting them very much over $6k.

But they're cool.

Yeah, because only people that like Ferrari's are exciting. 



I appreciate every kind of car, like the Tatra in my sig. How in the world is that "dull"? Personally, I think the SEC in your sig is quite dull since it's a slab sided pillarless e-class.

[Rupert]

Yes, but they don't qualify. Shall I add a Lambo Miura to my list instead of the Alfa because it's cool? 

[2o6]

Is it ugly? No.



Is it boring to look at? Quite.

[Rupert]

Though I generally think it's fun to rag on 2o6 for is weird car taste, he's right.

[sportyaccordy]

Yea the pick of the W126 range is def the 500E

[hotrodalex]

Yes, but they don't qualify. Shall I add a Lambo Miura to my list instead of the Alfa because it's cool? 

If you can find a Lambo for under 6k, please tell me. I'll buy it in a heartbeat. 

[Rupert]

Haha, I'd tell you about it, but that's because I'd be bragging about my new Lambo!

In Australia there are only a few cars you should own as a true enthusiast

[omicron]

You'd have to pay a lot more than $6k for a night with a classy kangaroo, let me tell you.

yeah, but what if you only want a trashy one?

[sportyaccordy]

I am not a classy man, a 6K kangaroo will do

[Laconian]

What's the diamond rating of a 6k kangaroo?
