Show us your car *here*_____

[Ken5h1ro]

Well, the title speaks for itself....
I know there's someone else out there, like me, who is a proud owner of his/her car and likes to boast its qualities.
So, I decided to start this fully qualified UT2004 (Useless Thread 2004) with my own car.... for your viewing pleasure.

Let's start with a small, low quality picture (due to forum's limitations)....
Specs will follow on request

Well, what are you waiting for?
Show us your car?

Here it is...Not much bet it gets me about.






*Ok, so i don't really have a car:x

Same color and same package. The only difference is I have tinted windows and a car alarm.

I know I don't have a car, but apart from Shellback, your cars seem pretty generic. Why not get something with a little more character?

Terrible coughing spell.

Customize a BMW? .... Not in this life, buddy!
Let apart that doing so will probably blow my 4 year warranty out the window... given that my kind of customization would allow things like neon light, spoilers....

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I'm not saying customize your car, I'm saying get something with a little character. For instance, the mini (new and old) has character. Its distinctive.

 

[CptStern]

my car

my other car

farrow I'd love a corvette but with a family, it's not going to happen ...plus insurance on a vette is more than both my cars combined

 

[moppe]

I win.

 

[The Monkey]

This is my car...

 

[Ken5h1ro]

This is my car...

Well.... errr..... nice leather seats!... *cough*... humm, ok.

But I have the Mini too!!!... The new model.
A red "Mini One" with white top and white rearview mirrors, with custom rims... it's my mom's car, actually.
When I want to be "looked at", I pick up (actually steal) my mom's car.

Due to my job, I drive for about 1000km each week... That would be unbearable with a Mini.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Yes, but a mini isn't the only car with some distinction I was simply using it as an example.

 

[Ken5h1ro]

I see your point.... :|
I used to have distinctive cars... but slowly turned to more reliable and safer ones.

The market forced me to... and my job too (as I said).
My brother had a Honda Integra and it costed him about 25000 euro. He also spent variuos hundreds of euros in customizations...
Then, when he decided to sell it for a "Smart"... the retailer gave him 8000 euro for his used car.... just because his "distinctive" car is also a "niche" car... and had little or no market at all.

I understood on my own that a distinctive car is a beautiful thing to have... since you don't plan to resell it in the forthcoming 10 years or if you plan not to use it as a "car", but only as a "toy".


....and I think my BMW do have some distinction, though.
