You decide....lots of pix

some of the cars look good  whereas others seem to have been lowered way too much

Ugly as sin!

im sorry but i just cant rationalize spending more money on a car than the car is worth
if youre gonna buy a $15,000 car and put $15,000 worth of work into it why not buy a $30,000 car thats gonna be just as fast
dont get me wrong im all about cool looking fast cars but some people try too hard with these P.O.S. fourbangers

Good point.

I visit a lot of Mustang sites and there is a whole bunch of people dropping tons of cash to try and beat a Vette, etc.

I can\'t understand why they don\'t go and just buy one and get the speed they\'re looking for right out of the box.

I doubt a stock Vette is going to win any of those shows.  You\'d still have to put money into it.  If you put enough money into an Eclipse GSX, you\'re gonna have a faaaast car.  

Those pics you see of cars in parking lots, like Cavaliers with Type-R badges and chrome hubcaps - THAT is rice.  And OMG, I HATE 14" wheels on any car.

Some of the cars that luckee posted are garish and flambouyant, but that\'s exactly what\'s hot right now, and those people probably spend 4 hours a day working on their car.  LET THEM.  I wouldn\'t mind people drooling over my car at a car show.  

If you really want to criticize, go find a Type-R Festiva without so much as a high-flow intake to laugh at.

P.S. - For some, it is more financially viable to buy a cheaper car, then add mods over the months/years, as opposed to buying a kick-ass car to start with.  Plus, it\'s quite a thrill to beat down some Vette/Viper/Porsche egos.

nice car (one of my fav\'s actually),
you know i was expecting you to say that u drove a small toyota or somthin but your reply came as quite a surprise, coz i dont think i\'ve ever met a women who drives a 3000 gt.

Many of the bodykits and wheels and color selections like these are so utterly tasteless that defies reason.  When I see a car like this green one, I just can\'t figure out what the hell that person was thinking.  It looks like it was designed by a 10 year old.  I mean if you\'re old enough to drive, old enough to earn the thousands of dollars needed to install all these modifications, why aren\'t you old enough to have developed a tiny bit of taste?  If you own a car like that, where do you have to hang out to find people who will tell you it looks nice?  Are there so many crazy people in the world?  I\'d be embarassed to park it in my driveway or take it on any street in this city.  For every dumb freak ricer kid who tells you it\'s cool, there are 20 more people laughing behind your back.  Are people that blind to the reality?

decide what?? do you wat us to pick what car you think yo should get??

WORD. This man speaks the truth.

Come on, I wouldn\'t be caught dead with most of those cars. Show cars or not, those are really REALLY ugly. Why anyone would buy and mod them is a mystery to me. Don\'t get me wrong, I love a car that has been TASTEFULLY modded. They can look really kewl and all that... but this... ugh.

This one looks pretty cool tho\'. What kind of car is it? From behind it looks like a Honda S2000 with a top...

I agree with you, Cored...those are some ugly beasts.  But hey, there are still people walking around with legwarmers on.  Men are still wearing speedos, and some women still look like Tammy Faye.  They aren\'t embarrassing anyone but themselves.  All I can do is thank god that I don\'t have to drive it.

But damn am I glad I don\'t have to share driveway space with that yellow thing with satellite dish rims.  Unless I needed to cook an egg, of course.

I really wouldn\'t mind these cars soooo much if I knew they had some serious performance behind them.  I mean these cars remind me of the Celica commercials "Looks Fast".

Oh yeah what does everyone here drive?
Me, I drive a Shelby CSX, running 13\'s right now, but still have alot of work ahead, especially when I get my Cummins Diesel Intercooler installed, and my AFPR next week.  Also need better rubber, I\'m spinning far to much into second if I don\'t  really watch it.

(If anyone says they have NOS I will beat you with a large stick, you can say Nitrous, N20, whatever you like, just not Naaws)
