So you're going to rob a bank!

[2o6]

You and two of your friends have been unemployed for several months now. Depressed and angry, you formulate a plan to rob a bank and split the proceeds 3 ways. Now, you are choosing a getaway car.


It must be:

- Quick enough to outrun the police

- Maneuverable enough to dart in and out of traffic and pedestrians

- Durable and frugal enough to sustain a possible long chase

- Have enough room to carry you and your two accomplices, as well as the money you stole

- And be cheap. Obviously, you're broke if you're robbing a bank, so you guys can't afford anything too expensive......say $5000.

With police helicopters it won't matter what I drive as far as a car went. You probably couldn't get away if they chased you.  I'm also very greedy and wouldn't take my friends. So I'd use a crotch rocket with a backpack for the money.

But if I MUST follow these guide lines then I'd use the best Ford Focus that 5K would buy.

NAWS + L.A. River = clean getaway

I'm gonna have to agree with the helicopter point here. You can get away from helicopters for running from cops for speeding but you can't just leave the money there...

[SVT_Power]

But then again, I'd probably somehow scrape enough money for a javelin or something to take out the helicopter since it's pretty much a given they'll bust out a helicopter on your ass if you lead a chase after robbing a bank.

Well, in an ideal place there are no helicopters. Let's pretend they don't exist.



I thought about using a Focus, too, but it seems like it'd be too slow.

A bank robbery that succeeds for any reason but luck would cost more than you can expect to net.

Let's pretend that there are no helicopters and money is actually kept in that vault.

Well hell, then let's pretend I can get an E63 AMG for $5,000. Or just steal one for the robbery.

Let's pretend that you're not stupid enough to use a car that you bought in your name for a bank robbery. You steal the car, idiots.

Will you guys just play the game!?

I don't know, that would have dovetailed nicely with not believing in helicopters.

I will steal a Camry V6. Ultra fast, ultra ordinary, ultra disposable.

yeah that's what I was originally thinking. I'd thinking a supercharged AMG G-wagen snatched from the impound lot.

What year is this? If this is the 1930's, then we should be limited to 1930's cars.

Okay. I would buy a used 1st-gen Insight. I'd get caught anyway, so I might as well save the planet with my hybrid while getting caught. And it only seats two, so one of my friends wouldn't be able to come and can help me and the other friend break out of prison later.

Happy?

As much as I'd love to walk into a huge bank lobby wearing a fedora, biting down on a cigar and pulling out two tommy guns from underneath my trench coat, the reality was that not many people kept their money in banks in the 1930's since the great Depression caused runs on the banks and all...

[FoMoJo]

A good used one is less that $5,000 .

ps. helicopters should be no problem if you plan to rob a bank in a forested region where the foliage would prevent them seeing you.

Did you see "The Transporter"? Let's pretend things are like that, but you're buying your own car.

[Byteme]

Base Ford F-150, white or other common color; a work truck.  Dirt common so you blend in with the hundreds of others on the road. 

A five year old silver camry would work too.

No, I didn't. Did they use Insights too?

[SVT666]

I already have it.

[Onslaught]

What Hemi has will work. You've got the room and it can get around in tight places. It's also a Focus so you could blend in better that driving something you never see.

Maybe the judge will go easy on you since you were saving the planet.

[2o6]

Maybe?




Or it could be like Ronin.........

[280Z Turbo]

First gen RX-7 with a street port 13B.

Why? Because I wanna.

[Raza]

Silver Honda Accord V6, one or two generations old.  They'd never figure out which one is you.

Do those have rear seats?
