I bought a car.. and I love it (pictures)

[LittleB]

I just bought this car, one of my favorite all-time cars. I'm so happy It broke down on the second day I had it, but I don't care. Atleast now I own one, and it's parked in my private space in a gated community, and I can work on it in my spare time, and just take my time with it. During the few hours that it ran, it was soooooo nice

I can't wait to drive it, but just as much I'm going to enjoy working on it. I've always enjoyed putting things together. This was going to be my daily commuter, but I guess now it's going to be my project car. I've always wanted a project car It's okay though, because I can use my Buick as my daily for now.

Sorry about the crappy cellphone pics, but I don't have a digital camera.

By the way, it ran fine and didn't leak when I test drove it and checked it out. The engine was rebuilt and only has 68,000 miles, but I went through the maintenance records (half inch thick stack, woohoo!), and it looks like they never did any radiator work. That would explain why it broke as I drove it. My driving habits are vigorous, to say the least

Please tell me what you think of it, give me your criticisms, praises, suggestions, etc.




EDIT: It's a 1987 Mercedes 190E 2.3, btw

I dunno if thats a good or bad sign.....

It's a good sign, it means everything that ever broke was repaired.

 

[Milkman]

It's a good sign, it means everything that ever broke was repaired.

Or that is prone to breaking. It broke on the second day he had it FFS. Looks like hes got a lemon.

 

[gh0st]

nah mine broke the first day i got it... she aint no lemon, just needs some lovin.

 

[Milkman]

Mine has never broke in the 12287 miles I have driven with it.

Ofcourse, this now means that it will break tomarrow.

 

[gh0st]

my car has 140 thousand miles on it. hasent "broken" per se, but there are times when she has a little trouble starting. hasnt failed me yet.

I was actually pretty suprised to see the steering wheel on the left. Crazy americans, with your left-ness. The romans gave us roads FIRST!

 

[Shamrock]

Hah. My sister and brother are in the process of purchasing new cars.. My sister, currently owning a Ford 2000 Mustang, is buying the new Ford '05 Mustang for about $28,000. My brother, he had a Pontiac 1995 Grand AM GT which pretty much blew up on him, is now buying an Acura RSX or TSX which would cost him either $22,000 for the RSX or $28,000 for the TSX.. He is still debating about it.

Too bad I do not get either car as both were in perfect condition.. My sister sold her 2000 Mustang, and my brother got rid of his also..
Now, all I need to do is figure out a way to get a car..

 

[gh0st]

dude tell him to get an RSX those things are SEX.

 

[LittleB]

I would choose the TSX.

 

[gh0st]

RSX = Integra
Integra > All

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

RSX with K24 bottom end K20A2 head+ boost=sex.

Or that is prone to breaking. It broke on the second day he had it FFS. Looks like hes got a lemon.

Thats what I was getting at

 

[Shamrock]

Actually, he is in the process of debating like I said.. See if I were him, I would go for the RSX since there are so many additions for the car. I mean there are so many body kits/carbon fibers/lights/all that shit.. I personally would love to own that car and mod the hell out of it, but he is the one that just likes the looks and doesn't do a thing to it.. I mean it is a beautiful car how it is, but to mod it to make it even more beautiful would be awesome..

I'm too poor to get a car...

 

[Killing2Live]

I just turned 16 and got a 1990 Bronco XLT, Its pretty flippin sweet. Im putting some Rockford Fosgate speakers in it to get it bomping a little.

I got a job and saved my money for it.

Make a thread about it, with pictures. I'm sure no one's ever thought of that

 

[bvasgm]

That's what I mean. I don't have a job. No job >> no money, no money >> poor, poor >> no car.

 

[LittleB]

So get a job.

 

[bvasgm]

That's not a bad idea...


By the way, congratulations on getting the car!!

[DiSTuRbEd]

I need to get myself a shotgun, down here in NC, if you don't have one you're screwed if someone tries to break in.

 

[LittleB]

How could you crazies turn this into a discussion about your biggest gun

 

[xcellerate]

[Maxi]

Kid talked some much shit to me about my car, saying it was slow, etc. He drives the Eclipse, you can see what happens, btw I hit about 90mph and let off, speed limit is 45 through there :x and yes this was months ago and I don't even own the car anymore so its all good.

Just remember if I rolled to a higher speed 100+ it would've been worse.

Hes stock I had just a SRI and a muffler, both were on it when I bought it

They aren't produced by VW or one of the other VW companies.

Which are: Audi, lamborghini, bently, bugatti, seat, and skoda.

No, but seriously Ive never really liked japanese cars that much anyway, aside from that fact that they are a dime a dozen, many of the people who 'tune' (and i use the term laughingly) them are a-holes, and the whole styling and followings are totally diffrent. I'm just glad there is a company like honda which keeps these types of people off and far away from VW.
