My fiancé and I used our earnings from the sale of ExxonMobil and Halliburton stocks to buy ourselves a new car. We got ourselves a Porsche so we could continue to contribute to the financial well-being of the oil industry.


Our wonderful new Carrera S



Ok ok, so I lied and we didn't actually buy a Porsche.



In reality, we got ourselves a Ferrari.

What? You guys still don't believe me?




Ok, fine, we didn't buy ourselves an exotic supercar, we got something a little more affordable.



Our shiny new Pontiac Solstice

Any reason for getting the Solstice over the Saturn Sky? Wish they would come out with a hardtop, hard to justify getting a soft manual top in Toronto area weather for me.

'Cause she thinks it is just "The cutest little thing!"

People buy convertables in Canada?


Anyway it's a nice looking car.

I hear the Solstice sucks because it got owned by Megatron. Can you comment on this?

How would I know? For one thing this Solstice doesn't transform into a robot, but more importantly, it's not ours. This is just a thread for posting pretty car pictures.

Porsches are so fucking common that they´re boring. So good on you for the Pontiac.

Lying is a felony, ma'am. I shall have to report you to the authorities, I read that somewhere.

Salm has a point. Porsches are all too common today and, for my money, you want the classic 911 anyway, not the same-damn-design-as-everything-else cars they build today.

There were no Porsches but classics in the village I grew up in. The guy on the end of our street had a couple of nice Maseratis and Astons though.

I'd post a picture of my car but it'd probably crack your monitor. 93 Grand Prix four door is not a pretty car.

I did get it washed and waxed today though...


I should just find a picture of either my work truck (bright red Dodge Ram 1500) or my cousin's new Maserati.

No kidding, it's not a proper 911 unless it has an air cooled engine and a whale tail spoiler.

It's all about getting the lighting right. Even my dad's '97 Buick LeSabre can look decent if I photograph it right. I didn't quite get what I wanted here though, the angle's wrong and there's too much crap in the background.

I need a scanner, I honestly do.

Because if I had a scanner, I could show you the pictures I took of my Neon back when she was brand new.

Here's a few of my cars...

Where did you get that shot from?

And did KITT always have that goofy-looking air scoop on the bonnet? Urgh.

Wow. With the exception of McQueen's Mustang and Cage's Eleanor, Poe has every movie car I ever wanted.

Unfortunately, there will be no more Skyline GT-Rs produced, which is good, because the final incarnation was so damn good

It was from an online hotrod mag website. I can't recall the exact address at the moment.

That's not KITT, you Philistine!!

Having seen an original "edition" of the 60's Bat-mobile in person (IT had a working horn and everything, although I missed the previous showing which had a bald Kevin Spacey driving around London in it) I must say - Ha Ha.

Who cares? It's still an awesome car. (That has apparently gone up in value if you have some of the nicer models from over a decade back, judging by the price my dad's 15 year old model got sold by a friend a year back in lieu of lawyer's fees).

Also, ahem, here are a few more:


Car babes .


Alpha Romero Spider. Also known as "Red hot sex on wheels". (That isn't someone roller blading ).







Back from when Big american cars looked amusing

As far as I'm concerned, the most beautiful car ever made is the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.





More beautiful than an E-Type Jag, even. And now if you'll excuse me, I need to go change my pants.

My mistake, sorry. What is it, then?

It could be the Bandit's Pontiac Firebird, which is the same car as KITT only not modified slightly.

WRONG!

It's Mad Max(The Road Warrior to some)'s XB Falcon Interceptor, complete with push-button activated supercharger(!!)

Minor nitpick: Bandit's Firebird was the same make and model as KITT, but an earlier year.

Bandit's was a '78:



KITT was an '82:

Interesting, I never knew that that car was originally a Falcon.

Tim31's correct...


as for my car: this is not how to park how a car...

What the hell did you do, Saint?!

And Death, you fail. The point of this thread was pretty cars, not some of those jokes.

Although that Eldorado would be pretty sexy in white. God damn I want a boat-car. Fuck the gas, fuck peak oil, I want loads of steel between me and the next guy. My friend's friend has a 72 Lincoln Continental left to him by his grandfather. Beautiful copper paint job, black leather interior, car is fucking mint. His grandpappy took good care of her.
