Gran Turismo 5...

[hossthomas]

there's a chevelle right up the road from me that is just like the pic you posted, except it's red. origional 454, everything on the damn car is cherry and the fucker who owns it leaves it out in the weather, no cover, sittin in weeds that had just about covered it over before the cold weather killed em out. can you believe that shit? every time i drive by it i fly into a murderous rage.

That guy must have no idea what he has.

says he's a collector, and he has several other beautiful cars includin a 71 plymouth gtx and a hemi cuda which i'm not sure of the year on. he buys all these cars, fixes em up and just lets em rust. you can't buy em off of him for five times what they're worth. he's a fuckin jackass

[TheBigCasino]

he is a fucking jackass. A fuckin' GTX too? He needs a good slap. Wait for him to get alzheimers and buy the cars off him for 200 bucks.

[hossthomas]

yeah, i've been lookin hardcore for an original 440 mag to put in a ram pickup i'm workin on, he's got four that aren't even in a vehicle, just hangin in his garage. he wouldn't sell me one and i've known the bastard literally all my life. he's also got two dodge specialty trucks that you may know of, the lil red express and the warlock, both are sittin in the weeds with the beds piled full of garbage. next time i drive by i'm gonna take a picture of his collection and post it up here, just so you can see what i have to drive by to visit my parents.

[TheBigCasino]

I knew, once you wrote "Dodge specialty trucks", that a lil' Red Express was coming next.

Damn, where to start. My dad had a 69 Judge, then my mom made him sell it during the gas crisis and the money went to putting kitchen cabinets in their house. if he still had it today, it would be worth some big bucks. been to the salton sea? i've always wanted to see that too, i've also had a thing for old ghost towns and abandoned buildings and houses. when i was a kid, there was an abandoned house down the road that we used to play in all the time. It was cool, the guy just left. Got up one morning and left and never came back, still had dishes in the sink, stuff in the fridge, the morning paper on the kitchen table. it was like walking through a frozen day in time. the strip mines were like that too, when they left this area. they had a train depot, where they loaded up the coal trains, same thing, they just left. paperwork on the desks, coffee cups, they just walked away. i used to go check that stuff out all the time, but the house has since been bought and restored and the mine demolished their buildings, but at the time it was cool as hell. The one place in the world i'd like to see along these lines is that town outside of cherynobl. talk about a place frozen in time, i'd like a day or two just to wander around, hell a week or two.

definitely with you on that, there's an old strip job way back in the woods in my area that's like that, everything just left where it was. i also am fascinated with pripyat, which i think is the name of the town outside chernobyl, would love to visit. although seems like i read somewhere that some people have moved back into the area.

second place, 70 Chevelle SS 454

The best car I ever had was a 70 Chevelle. Not a 454, not even an SS. Still, the best times I've ever had all involved that car. I'll have another one, before I die, definitely.

Have had 69 Nova
69 Mustang
79 Hurst Olds
68 Cadillac hardtop
67 Olds Convertible

Lots and lots of newer vehicles. The only good picture I have here at work is of my newest Mustang which I customized to look like the 69 Boss 302.

This thread reminds me I will have to leave my 911 behind for six month. #@*$"é!!
I'll probably buy something stupid in July.
A Lotus seven replica maybe.

[Screwball]

There is Lotus 7 replicas being made? That would be awesome!

I always loved #6's car.

I've seen a lot of muscle cars, a lot of high end super cars. I have seen traffic completely stopped ( outside of police action ) only twice. the first time was at a random intersection when a B-2 Stealth Bomber flew over out of nowhere, the other time, was when a yellow Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo passed by.

what a beautiful machine.

[Screwball]

This is more my style, though.



Ain't no plastic on this landyacht. Knocked down a hurricane fence with one of these babies.

Donkervoort and Catterham are the most famous, but there are many others. Donkervoort is now doing a "modern" version, but it's like awfully expensive.

I'd like to see one of these in GT5..and yes, listening to Huey Lewis while driving it would be mandatory.
