So are you guys saying I should be buying one of these Supras near me?  White one is 6k, red is 4.5k.

The mk-2 has always been my favourite, a ton of fun and performance parts aren't very hard to find. But i wouldn't pay 4.5k unless it was MINT. (depending on where you are) Also no insanely easy to work on, but it's not that bad.

Is there a name for door like that, where the window doesn't have a frame? Subaru does that too and I like it.

Just frameless windows. Most coupes and all convertibles have frameless windows, and Subaru for some reason also does it on pretty much all their cars (or used to). One of my favorite cars and favorite cities:

Frameless windows suck in cold climates. Ask me how I have to open the doors on my e36 coupe with a heat gun! Never realized how big the greenhouse is on e28s until now. And I've been in/around them before.

I call this post "The fine German tradition of shoving washing machines in the backs of super beetles". Porsche 356 This happens to be a late model 1500 cc model.  Porsche 901 / First Gen 911 Two liter flat six.  Last of the First Gen 911 (1973)  First 911 Turbo (1976)  G Model 911  964 911  993 911  996 911 First water cooled model. Also notable for the first model with a massively useless engine access hatch.  997 911 Evolution, not revolution. Now the air box cover is smooth!  991 911 Since 991 comes after 997, they figured that a engine bay should be even more inaccessible. To change the air filter you need to remove the rear bumper.  Obviously not a full history...

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:See, I was hoping it was just some kind of one-off hackjob, but you're telling me there's a whole line of these abominations? Now I regret asking. The new ones based off of 2000+ Mustangs and Town Cars are indeed hideous abominations, but I think the Zimmers from the 80's that are more boxy (like the burgundy one posted above) look a lot better. I almost thought an old 80's Zimmer would make a great Chump car until I saw they are still going for as much as 20 grand. The scary thing here is that people are paying $180,000 (oh, actually $179,900 according to the website, cause that extra $100 makes it look like a better deal) for a Mustang with shoddy sheet metal welded on.

The best pimp cars are Excaliburs. Zimmers are a low rent copy of these. Excaliburs were originally based on Studebakers, but when Studebaker folded they switched to Corvette 327's. They weighed just over a ton and were pretty fast for the time. Zimmers are garbage compared to an Excalibur. Mister Kingdom posted:In the vein of turning normal cars into pimptastic monstrosities: To be fair to the Blackhawk, it was the 70's and if you were an A-lister this is what you drove. My favorite part is Dean Martin crashed one that had license plates that said "DRUNKY" That's also probably the least flattering angle for it, too.   The interiors were pretty swanky.  They used a GM platform and drivetrain for ease of maintenance but otherwise were coachbuilt by Ghia. This guy has it bad for them, I think he has like 10 e- apparently Ghia didn't do the coachwork, just the prototype Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Apr 30, 2013 |

Air-cooled 911s are actually super easy to work on; even in the relatively crowded 964 and 993 engine bays anything that needs frequent servicing is pretty easy to get at, even with the engine in place, and any disassembly required to get at something will be straightforward. Worse comes to worse, dropping the engine is very easy; my dad and I did it once in his '73 in less than two hours. The water-cooled cars are a nightmare, I'll grant you that. Here's my favourite 911-related engine bay:

Oh good, I was wondering where I could post this picture I took yesterday but it fits in perfectly with custom/low-production coachwork chat. An Avanti. I think it's a 4-seater C5 Corvette with a Ford V8? I dunno, I didn't research the brand's troubled history too much. Production ended in 2007 when it turned out the company owner was involved in a Ponzi scheme.

I saw something the other day I THOUGHT was a Zimmer at first, until I figured out what a Clénet was.  The one I saw was a hideous creamy yellow color with a guy who looked like Dennis Gage driving and a woman who looked like a hooker straight out of the early 90's in the passenger seat. Classy.
