2o6's 5th car thread

[Northlands]

This is a stupid, stupid idea.

You need to build equity, not waste it.

You make a good point, but given his age and the thread specifies 5th car, we won't change his mind with the advice.

2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS  - $9,990

Actually, this was an entertaining little ride. I've warmed up to this car company quite a bit lately I admit, but for the money, some of their cars are pretty decent.

Stereo typical gay car or bust!

Not a bad idea actually.

[2o6]

I don't like them

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I don't like them

But they doo look better than that MR2 Vert you posted! 

[Rupert]

Ooh ooh, can I be in the "bucked Carspin Advice" club???   

You get your very own club.

[Raza]

You get your very own club.

Yup.  We're even having jackets made for you:

[Rupert]

Replace that number with, "Members Only".

[Soup DeVille]

That's actually quite strapping.

[Rupert]

Sort of an understated style. One might even say it's restrained.

So?

... So why consider it in the first place when there are better options? For example, anything else you posted. That was my only point.

It's a fun car, and it's still on the "list". Most other 80's cars were probably just as crappy as the Omni. The Omni is a great base, and fairly obscure

Obscure for a reason. My dad tells me stories of his new Omni rusting in place while he was out on active duty.

[2o6]

So?

[Madman]

It wasn't so obscure back in the day.  The Omni/Horizon twins were EVERYWHERE back in the 1980s.  And then, they suddenly all seemed to vanish in 1993.  October, I think it was.  One minute you were tripping over them and the next they were all gone.  Funny how that happens!

[CALL_911]

Let's be honest, you aren't getting a fucking Omni/Horizon

People here think these cars live on baby unicorn blood and super expensive fairy dust. Truth is most anyone can work on an E46 3er and parts can be gotten on the cheap from lots of sources.

[Speed_Racer]

Take your BMW and stuff it   , it doesn't have the H&H of the Omni.

Just like how you never see a the first-generation Dodge Stratus and company anymore. At least I don't.

[Secret Chimp]

If you got an Omni you could call it Mitt Romni.

On the cheap is a boldfaced lie

Naww. Yellow with a black stripe.

The OmniBus.

You can find parts cheaper than official BMW parts. But still a lot more expensive than a Yaris.

What you really need a Chevy or Ford truck. Junkyard parts galore.

He can't ride a panther to work.  Trust me, I've tried.  You can never get them to stop when you want them to.

Off Topic. I was just saying the same thing about The Harley Davidson F150s of the early 2000s......

206 and I could be platform buddies!

[2o6]

Yaris is probably the most viable idea. My friend with the xB put his cheapie grippy summer tires on my car just so he could make me a "believer" and I am now a believer. With stiffer springs and a sway bar, this thing will corner on rails.
