Hey, gang! Since we had such a hoot with "Worst Cars of the Millenniun" how about having a go at this? And remember: Keep your punches clean and no hitting below the belt. At the sound of the bell come out fighting. **DING** )
Presenting....The Ultimate Chick Cars of all Time
#5 Dodge Neon
Neons are Barbie cars: little and cute and rounded in the hips. Even in black, they are feminine and adorable, only just a bit tougher, like Tattoo Barbie."
#4 VW Jetta
" Anything by Volkswagen is a chick car. VW realized this years ago and joined forces with another company to sell guy cars-- they called that company Porsche."
#3 Mazada Miata
"I discovered this phenomenon when I got a Miata. 'Girlie car'. That all I heard."
#2 VW Cabriolet
"All teen-age girls classify them as cute. 'Nuff said."
#1 VW Beetle
" The VW Beetle. A chick car, definitely. And made to be so. How? I know of no other automoblie with a FLOWER VASE as standard equipment."
Presenting....The Ultimate Guy Cars of All Time
#5 Dodge Viper
"It might be a guy car if there was a movie or TV show built entirely around it. Other examples include Burt Reynold's Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit, Nash Bridges' Hemi Cuba convertible and Jim Rockford's Firebird."
#4 Ford F-150 Pickup
"Any car with numbers or letters for a name, or tacked on the end, can become a guy car. For example, F-150 or Civic-SI."
#3 Chevy Camero
"...with twice the horse power needed. Used to show other guys how manly you really are."
#2 Chevy Corvette
"I believe the main aspect that determines the male/female state of a car is based on the engine compartment(hood)-to-cab-lenght ratio. A car such as a pickup or Corvette has a large hood-to-cab-lenght ratio."
#1 Ford Mustang
"A back seat guaranteed to be too small for your mother-in-law."
What is the main difference between a Porsche and a porcupine?
On a porcupine the prick is on the outside.
Chevy Director: So, whaddaya callin' this mean machine?
Chevy Designer: A "C'mere, ho'," for now.
Chevy Director: "Camaro," eh? That has a good, horsey-sounding ring! Let's roll this baby out!
What is the main difference between a Porsche and a porcupine?
However, a guy cannot drive a car that is deemed to be feminine, or too weak, and a guy has a limited choice of colors - obviously that means no purples and no pinks, and no pastels.
The current equivalent of the 2002tii would probably be the M3 ($55,000). Now that is some kinda car. The M5 ($85,000) isn't a turkey, either.
Watched the movie 'Bandits' last night. Great movie, and Bruce Willis is driving a cherry(ok, now you know my age) 63,64 GTO.
What a great car!
Not if you consider price. The tii cost about $5K when new, and inflation (using CPI figures) would put that in the low 20's now. BMW, like Porsche, has gone for the big buck yuppie market. Today's GTI is more like what the original 2002/2002tii really were. BTW, I own a '73 2002 and a 2000 GTI.

I once sold Porsche's and only about 5% of the owners were pricks...
The other 95% were worse.
Real cars with real power don't need automotive steroids and too much of that nitrous oxide (much over a 125 shot on stock pistons) will leave your Jeep on the side of the road with a fried engine.
That Mustang you mentioned beating would blow you away with the equivalent nitrous shot. Hope you don't meet him when your blue bottle is empty.
In my opinion, nitrous is for those too lazy to do the real planning and the hard work necessary to build a fast car or else it's for teenagers who saw The Fast and the Furious and thought it was based on reality, where every little four-cylinder grocery getter just needs a lot of stickers and 'Nawwwws' (NOS: for Nitrous Oxide Systems, major manufacturer of Nitrous Oxide set-ups) to 'run in the 10's'. In their dreams. Nitrous works but it's temporary, bad for the stock engine not built to take it and too easy.
Real men drive '70 Dodge Chargers with blown big blocks like Vin Diesel drove in The Fast and the Furious. That's a Man's car. No nitrous needed. End of story.
Not necessarily...
Real Men don't need NAWWWSSSS!

First, you'll need a place to upload your pics. There's several free services out there that FReepers use. Also, check with your internet servie provider. Free webspace is usually included in your service. (Mine gives me 40 megs.)
If nuthin' else, I can FReepmail my e-mail address to you. Send me the image and I'll post it for you.

One time he pulled up at a gas station and before he got out the guy at the pump next to him said something like "Boy that is really a purple truck." My husband got out (remember he is big) and said "I think I am big enough to drive any color truck I want." The guy said "You know what, I like purple trucks" :)
He has his own business doing parkinglot maintenance, and another contrator who was looking at a job with him and was a friend drove a metallica pink truck, it was pretty. But they were parked on the lot side by side talking and suddenly the other contractor said "We better put these trucks around back. People might get funny ideas about us."
He had alot of fun with that purple truck. When our daughter turned 16 he sold it to her. She doesn't get nearly the remarks he did. I guess there is jus something funny about a really big guy driving a purple truck.:)
