I swear you like absolutely anything if it's lowered and has too-big wheels on it.
Those wheels aren't too big at all. :huh:

Not all SC430s look terrible.


and the interiors are pretty nice.

I never disliked the SC430, but it has not aged well.  And it's really soft.  I wanted one when I was in high school.   :lol:

I've always liked the SC430, weirdly enough, I was about to comment on how well they've aged.

I gotta admit, that black one looks sweet from that angle.  Unfortunately, from any other angle it looks like a Mars bar that was left in the sun.

I would say most SC430s look bad but that example looks particularly terrible.

I thought they looked ok when they first came out. I agree w/ raza that they have not aged well.

In my experience, this seems to be an accurate generalization.

If the Outback was totaled I'd use the insurance payout as a deposit on a Fiat 500.

Wow, this shouldn't have been a surprise, but I didn't know you guys hated the SC430 that much. Kinda makes me want one more, to be honest :devil:

Thankfully, I also found this:

BRAND NEW for cheaper than most of the used Camaro SS's listed. I like the Camaro, but I don't like it that much.


There's also this:

Too bad it's one of the only two V8 manual convertibles within 500 miles of me for under $35k. It'd be hard enough to settle for a 4.6 knowing that the 5.0's exist.

Honestly, I would throw caution to the wind and get this:

Right now?  Pay off the CC and then try to find an unmolested 02-03 WRX WRB sedan with the oem body kit.

I wish Accent would get stolen. Just be done with it, and just pay cash for a cheap car with A/C. I drove a sweet '95 Ford Ranger, today. Manual steering, but A/C. I'd pay $750 for that shit. I only commute about 15 miles. Accent was necessary before, but not now. maybe again? but I dunno.

For someone who says he wants to keep his car for a long time, I sure do like window shopping...

Sometimes I regret not going for a G35 coupe last time I was shopping. That older body style looks much better to me.

A base Cooper is around what I paid for my Yaris. Cooper S isn't too much more.

LOL. I'd guess Carmax would offer me about $4000, and I'm not even kidding.
