Hmm...

I've driven dozens of that generation C class. Most were crap. I liked the C class hatch for its quirkiness factor, but it wasn't really a good car.

Fuck it. Dog can ride shotgun.

Dogs like convertibles.

[Laconian]

Hell yeah, get a Z4

[Raza]

Z4 is a fucking awesome car. Sell your dog.

Lynx?

Ask Char, he had about 90 when I was car shopping. I can't find any now but they were out there.

CTS-V

[Laconian]

CTS-V is one of those cars on which C&D ladels heaps of superlatives when it's new, but when the once generation comes out, they rip on the interior and refinement and parts-binny GMness. I don't know if it's actually good when new, or if C&D just wants to keep their ad accounts happy.

Buddy of mine has a 1st gen. Interior aside it's a good car. Truthfully the first gen G35 is not much better.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I looked at getting a 1st gen CTS-V a while back. I test drove a few, but prices were a bit higher(1-2K) at most of the dealerships than I was willing to pay(ended up in my second evo).

Outside of the interior, which like most GM interiors of the time was functional but nothing special, it was a good car.

It is what it is, a fantastic motor in a normal car. So pretty much what most of the LS motors ended up in. I'd still consider one in the future.

Very fast car, the CTS-V. Good back seat for dog.
Need to sell Accent very fast.

I think it looks pretty good - it was super edgy when it came out, but now it looks pretty restrained compared to dramatic bulgey cars of today.

Especially if the clear plastic around the headlights is buffed out.  The car looks crappy with foggy headlights, they are so integral to the shape of the front end.

[Payman]

Well, if you get a Z4, you don't have to look at it while driving it.

I have polished many headlight lenses. It becomes as regular as buffing and waxing the paint.

Z4s... depressing

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Jesus, those look horrible.

[Payman]

Jesus Fuck.


Why????

The people who did that should be castrated.

Looks like it was dropped from a crane up on high.

Still trying to wrap my head around the whole "put tires that are too narrow onto rims that are too wide" thing.  Who thought that looks cool?

Nobody, but it gets teenagers retweets and likes from other teenagers on the internet.

I greatly prefer the reverse. I'd rather hit a curb with a tire sidewall.

Does that ever spool???????

Eventually, yes. It's for top speed more than drag racing.
