Maybe he doesn't have the space to open those drat things up where he has to park. That is the only reason I can think of.

It isn't everything that's wrong with car culture, or even the worst thing, but it is the most emblematic thing. I mean they even make sense on a coupe...you aren't going to hit the car next to you with your gigantic doors. But they are associated with a certain kind of car owner. Someone sees your lambo doors (never "scissor doors") and they're going to say "Hey, nice car man, when you planning on putting some 22 inch spinners on that? Hey, I know where you can get a 6 inch exhaust and a 12 pack of fake sponsor stickers. Hey look over there and check out the mirror tint on my Z24, isn't it tight as poo poo?" Probably in those exact words, while you look around you for something with which to kill them and then yourself.

Those old Fairmonts and Granadas are the lightest fox body cars made. All of the running gear from a 1979 to 2004 Mustang will fit inside of them with bolt on parts, no fabricating required. Just sayin.

VideoTapir posted:But they are associated with a certain kind of car owner. Eh, I guess. While I get the whole poser-owner thing, and I agree, some stuff just comes off as hypocritical. Everyone seems think Tubi exhausts are okay, but fart-cans are bad. They are both (essentially) pointless upgrades designed to make a car sound a certain way, but one is cool and one is bad? Same with wheels, vintage BBS=good, Spinners=bad. Chromed alternator on a duece coupe=good, blue spark plug wires=bad. Now to re-rail. This 440 '66 coronet sold for $5500 dollars in Austin. The craigslist post is down so here is the B.A.T listing. This has to be the deal of the year. Of course the ONE TIME I skip B.A.T in the morning... http://bringatrailer.com/2010/04/05/bat-success-story-non-scam-texas-66-mopar/

I'm partial to the coupe, but couldn't find a good photo of one. In college, I left a note on the ideal '79 coupe, but the owner didn't want to sell and I didn't have any money anyway.

That Fairmont is simply a "Kar". It's a vehicle with doors and engine and a trunk from a purely functional perspective. It's like how a five year old draws a car in crayon. It's more than a car, it's a shape.

My mom has her original one owner '78 sport model Granada in a local, to her, storage unit. It is identical to this car, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3811453 , only it is what i call emerald green. It is green inside and out but it still has the hubcaps, same white pinstripe, and sport windows.

ratbert90 posted:The main problem with that Honda is that he spent a ton of money where it doesn't belong. High performance Honda B-motors are pretty tapped out from the factory, cams, a tune, a polish, and a slightly bigger exhaust is all you need to get 30 extra horse out of a B16 or in that case a B18C. What's wrong with building an engine and car the way you want to? It's not ricey at all and he used quality parts with an eye to daily driven reliability. I bet that car is a hoot to drive too. Maybe he overspent on the B18C5 engine but maybe at that point he didn't plan on modding it at all. Either way, if the chassis is clean and rust-free he'll probably get his price.
