How many people walk through their deceased dad's farm field/junk yard and think I can sell all of this on Ebay. Or better yet, foxtbirdcougarforums?

The "non trendy" image of these cars is EXACTLY what I LOVE taking advantage of. Sittin at a light next to a kid in a Civic with a fart can, 22in wheels, body kit, huge bolt on wing, with his hat on backwards and a smug look on his face, and his girlfriend in the passenger seat...tryin to look cool in front of her by whoopin what looks like a high 16sec 80s car...oh wait...look...that 80s car is haulin his ass down the road...TOOL.

I'm not a flashy kinda person. I don't draw attention to myself. Even in high school, I NEVER followed the "cool" trends. I guess my car tends to reflect that.

Oh, and I mostly listen to "my parents'" music as well. Classic rock or bust.

Now explain to me after reading the above, how this is rational? Just because it's an import doesn't mean it's rice. Just because it's made in America doesn't mean it's

That's why I inserted the second bit "even rational...". I dont claim to be THAT either. And I'm not saying import = rice...just that all of em I lump together in MY own group of everything I would not want to own.

@ TC bombardier SHOULD make cars LOL. All I know is they got some good engine tech. My friend's snowmobiles have that R.A.V.E. stuff. Yeah git that in some cars!!! Suck it VTEC!

I would say that these cars are very flashy. Go look at a 83-88 anything out there and tell me these cars don't stand out. Also, the back window in a cougar is a fashion statement. Its supposed to either piss you off or make you like it. People that don't like the back window get a t-bird. People that do get a cougar.

An import car makes alot more sense now. I drive almost 3,000 miles a month. I go through two to three 300 mile $30 tanks a week in my wife's little neon. Now I'm gonna pay $65 to drive around a t-bird for around half of that a tank.

...Except bombardier snowmobiles use Rotax (Austrian, I believe) engines :D *EDIT* Apparently Rotax is owned by Bombardier. Still Austrian though :hick:

...and RAVE is only good for two-strokes, which would never, ever, EVER pass emissions standards. I think you'll soon see two-strokes outlawed in snowmobiles, dirt bikes, ATV's and outboards...

That RAVE shiznit was crazy, though - my Formula Mach Triple had it, and it was crazy fast. Never quite understood how it works (I'm more of an early 70's Olympique kinda guy) but when it did whatever it does it was like hitting a nitrous button. That machine was retarded fast.

Ya don't need an import to get good fuel economy. Yes, that news might make an import fan faint, but it's true. My Saturn regularly gets 40MPG on the highway and better than 30 city, and that's with A/C.

My 76 Olympique was just plain retarded (not fast, lol) It was my only mode of transportation at one time though. My Saturn does pretty decent on gas too. I also have a good supply of paper bags and a hole punch for my driving excursions.

i think people come to this site to sell cars cus thats where the consumers are. people see that a group of people who regularly are on the hunt for thundercats and they know odds are good that thier car will sell. just like when you see anti-derpressant comercials on lifetime, truck and dirtbike adds on CMT, KFC sponsors on BET (i may be too stereotypical, but u get the idea) cus thats where the people who buy the products are. besides, when some stupid kid inherits his grandmas mint condition 30th anny tbird and doesnt want it cus its 'not a civic' sells it here for $1000, whos going to be complaining then.

i see the title, scroll to the end, and read about snowmobiles.

u guys have a bad case of A.D.D.

Oh and for the record, when I was in high school I WANTED a Turbo Coupe or some sort of V8 Thunderbird (I always thought the '87-88 looked badass) but my dad wouldn't let me get one!

Hmmmm. Lemme show you how sill that sounds. And remember, I myself am biased towards American vehicles, but I will keep my options open.

Now explain to me after reading the above, how this is rational? Just because it's an import doesn't mean it's rice. Just because it's made in America doesn't mean it's

Wow!!!!! That must be uncomfortable!!!!!:hick:

True true. I get that. There is a few imports that I ave respect for, None of which I could afford to own. I know the import kids think american cars are junk, only cause they cant afford to own one ;)
An american car is a love affair, you must love the car, and learn to love an empty wallet!

See Im sorta like that, but I like odd cars and such, for the reason that it draws attention. I see shiznit box ricers all day long and so does everyone else. Same with mustangs/camaros. Only thing that draws people is loud. I get attention every time I start my car(mostly pissed neighbors.) my friends think my car is ugly, but that makes me love it more. Its different, much like i am, same as most of the cars I like. Theres very few newer cars that I would give anything to own, TONS of older cars I would though.
And i listen to everything but opera/classical.
Classic rock kicks asssss though!
