Man oh man...
Yep, still sounds like wanting a 2ft penis - VERY impressive
but effing useless for one of it's main roles !.
Which role is a Charger effing useless at? Making a guy who grew up lusting after a car happy?
Get the Z first - then see ! I'll admit that I've drifted past the age of dreaming - yeah, I'd love a Muira but honestly, I get all the adrenaline outa my Z and it starts first time, doesn't drip oil and costs basically nothing in maintenance from year to year !
I'm sorry your dreams haven't been realised yet, don't give up yet there's still time. We don't all have practical dreams, they sound very dull. I'd love an old brit bike, it'll leak oil, but it wouldn't be a brit bike if it didn't.
Buy the home first and see what's more attractive to a girl - a shag on the cold vinyl bench seat or .......
She'd want both.
I had a house at 18 and I did better and had a LOT more varied fun than my mates and their better cars than mine - I had an Austin 1300 !
It's 2009, times change. At 18 I was dragging my ass through university with the hope I could one day I could buy a charger and fulfil other ambitions, I didn't want to be pumping most of my cash into a mortgage.
My point is get the Z running and get the house THEN come back and tell us that you're still not satisfied in either cars or female company !
I plan to do that, whilst still thinking "wouldn't it be nice", that doesn't cost anything nor does it prevent you achieving your short term goals.
oh for effs' sake - everyone wants a Charger, Russ says "Half the point is to look out of place..." but then you aint with one are you but of course everyone will come up ans say "great car man...innit" !
Maybe they will, same as they do to 240s
The old boys out the body shop would say "Wow, now that's some American muscle" and appreciate it for a different way. Who cares, I'd buy it for me not for everyone else. I'm sure there's more pose value in a lot of other (cheaper) cars if that were my end game.
I am an early Z series man through & through, but its like with women the grass can look greener on the other side . Never had the nerve to buy a late 60's early 70's yank but must admit I fancy loads of them including mustang's, camaro's, trans am's etc, I think top of my list would be the Charger but I guess I would look & feel a right prick driving it .
Yeah I think the same, but you get over it and then you learn the mentality of "why am I going to let over peoples opinions ruin my fun? I'm not a very attention seeking person (bikes rock, with your lid on you're totally anonymous. But I bought a 300zx targa with a bit of a noisey pipe on it and at first I wouldn't take the roof out (because that really is showey), then I did it a few times and loved it and thought "sod em, this is fun" and after you realise no one else on the planet gives a monkeys about you the problem goes away
Well let Russ drive a proper 240Z first.......but if you insist, make make my dream a Muira, a McLaren F1 and an R32.
Miura is way up on my list should I ever stumble upon a whole heap of money!! But I don't dream about that as I don't think it's achievable.
Russ - fly over for Easter Weekend, my family isn't here so we can drink good wine, BBQ and Sunday is a track day (2 hrs hard) so come on over !
I'd very much love to and appreciate the offer, but I'm a few weeks away from landing my house to wave my 2ft penis around in and need to hold onto all my money
Probably even gonna have to bail on Japfest
Gutted about that one, really wanted to see the different between my 2+2 targa I took last time and my 2 seater slicktop!!
Anyway I enjoy debate, no bad feelings intended in any direction, it's good we're all different and I appreciate your concern I could be spending too much time thinking about things and not doing them!
Oh and AMX Javelin
Never really heard of them tbh, looks like I need to get a mullet and a vest though to drive it. Not cool.
And just to end on a high note, another picture!
Such a pretty old girl! I think though the old school wheel sizes and tyres would have to go for me, just doesn't really sit happily in my eyes. The thing about the 68 I love is the hidden lights (very bad ass) and unlike the 69 there is no separating silver part right in the middle. I know it's about as wrong as you can get aerodynamically lol, but it'll never get races so who cares!
