So you're going to rob a bank!

[280Z Turbo]

Do those have rear seats?

No.

The other guy gets left behind to take the rap.

[Rupert]

Either a giant truck with solid rubber tires that I can take up a super rough 4WD road to lose the cars, and hike through the woods for a few days to lose the chopper, a tank, or dirt bikes. I mean, you robbed a bank; it's not like they'll be shooting at you.

If I was just in it for the car chase, then an original Mini.

And it's all stolen, so who cares how much someone else paid for it?

[Rupert]

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

Actually, robbing banks is easy. Just walk in with a note, and walk out with whatever cash they can get to easily. If you're fast and it's in a city, you should be able to blend in pretty quick.

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

Why? Because I wanna.

You'll spin out.

Meh, didn't work out well for that guy.

Idiot took a horrible angle towards the concrete barrier. If he would have went towards it head on it would have went right over.

He needs tank driving lessons.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

what a dumb thread.

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

Yup, i'm a bank robber about to commit a federal crime and i'm going to BUY a getaway car.

You steal a getaway car, so it can be whatever you want it to be.

I'd do the job in a dense city area, and i'd steal a yellow cab so it will blend in.

E34 BMW 530i

I'm sure there are better choices, but I'm sure it would do well. Plus, I like the idea of a 3.0L V8.

I picked a 535i.

[Rupert]

He was just driving around. If you're trying to get away, and you have a planned route (might as well plan it-- not like they can block it), no problem.

[Payman]

I'll take my hydroplane, thank you. The Thousand Islands are close by, and the thing about the Thousand Islands is... there's a thousand of 'em.

[omicron]

Excuse me please. You are all doing this wrong.

[MrH]

A mattress with wheels attached.

So when I inevitably get caught, I can plead insanity.

Come to think about it I'd get one of these. And paint it up to look like the local police.

[Tave]

You steal two (or more) boring cars. You use one at the scene, you park the other nearby. Abandon the one that everyone saw and use the parked car to escape.

[the Teuton]

I wouldn't rob from a bank like Bonnie and Clyde. If I had $5,000 to spend on supplies to get ready to rob a bank, I'm pretty sure I would do all of it electronically.

The internet is your friend.

There was a 60 minute made for TV movie back in the late 50's or early 60's featuring Chico and Harpo Marx where they did exactly that.  Bought a car and painted it to look like a police car,  Black and white, so one could rob a jewelry store and the other, dressed as a cop would come arrest him and take the stolen jewelry as evidence.  Only trouble was they reversed every color on the car so instead of white fenders and black doors and roof it was black fenders and white doors and roof.   Lettering was also color reversed.  They got caught.

[Lebowski]

None of the above. There's no money in bank robberies, it's a high risk, low reward proposition.

[Raza]

Not if you do it right.

[rohan]

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...

Yeah if you're dumb enough to rob a bank in a major city.    

I'll take a 6.0l GTO with upgraded brembo rotors and hawk performance brakes and a full tank of Shell Gasoline.  V-Power it's the choice of bank robbers everywhere! V-Power because your getaway car deserves only the best!  V-Power because the police only use low octane low bid gas.

[rohan]

No.

The other guy gets left behind to take the rap.

And he rats you out at the first chance he gets.  Bad choice.  Actually I'ld do it alone to be honest.

[J86]

I'd definitely run this shit like De Niro in Heat; except I wouldn't go back to the hotel the last time.

[sportyaccordy]

Bimmer 750i E65

So when the cops catch me and blow my brains out at least my final moments would be in style.

[The Pirate]

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

Bingo.  Add Tave's multiple car theory (more Accords and Camries), and this is the best chance of pulling it off.
