I was 14 in 2001 when the FnF film came out.

>pic related, it's what got me into cars

>>14011171
>tfw you own the last of the affordable hardtop 60s Mopars.
>tfw prices on them have double in the past 8-12 months.
>tfw C Bodies are jumping in price because they 'were' affordable and not as taxed.

Such is life in the zone.

>>14011213
>tfw f&f and need for speed got you into cars

I miss ricing out cars in nfs underground

>>14011243
Oh man, Underground 2 was my shit. Those were simpler times
>tfw you can't play NFS games anymore because you buy 1/4 of a game for $60 then need to drop another $100-$150 for the rest of the game later on

More of a /v/ and /o/ hybrid feel

>found my old ps2 memory card a few months ago
>mfw seeing my U2, Most Wanted and Carbon abominations that I thought were cool as a kid

Maybe it's a good thing, all my rice tastes got channeled into those games before I was old enough to ruin a real car

>>14011321
Oh man I remember my abominations. Would be cool to go back and try to make a decent looking car though.

>>14011243
What first car did you guys pick in Underground 2 and why?
>240sx
>had the best base stats
>looked most like a sports car out of the bunch

Didn't have a clue about cars back then really. It didn't matter which car you picked in the end since fully modded the AI didn't compensate and was BTFO effortlessly

>>14011243
>>14011321
I bought my neon at 16 because I remembered how the neon was the best car you could buy when starting out in that game.

>>14011344
>make decent looking car in Underground 2
>no matter what you eventually need to go full rice to progress the story

>>14011367
Kek, was it even the SRT version?

>>14011362
I think I picked the miata or something because I didn't like how the 240sx looked stock. Maybe it was just the ps2 graphics, would probably pick the 240 now. I should really pick up an eBay copy and play again, I don't think I ever beat 2.

>>14011171
>having more than one or two cars
Kill yourself
>gas powered will die
Cool
That's not a bad thing
The first hybrid produced was impressive as fuck, the tech has only gotten better
If someone not retarded designed the modern electric cars to not be so ugly /o/ would love them
Electric cars are sick as fuck and I love the sound they make
My project car is an imported RHD W10 solid top I'm converting to electric

-someone who was 16 when FnF came out

>>14011362
240sx because I thought it was the coolest starting car. I didn't know anything about cars back then either

>>14011321
I recreated a few of those abominations for nostalgia's sake, then proceeded to beat the game with one of them. It was a bright fucking pink Fiat Punto.

>>14011384
Electric getting good isn't a bad thing, but a lot of us will miss gas.

>>14011384
What's wrong with owning lots of cars?

I just want under 1 tonne cars that don't feel like death traps or anemic econoboxes goddamn it

>>14011420
not anything really
i personally don't see the point
>old manual chevy for DD
>stupid project
all a man needs

>>14011420
Well, if you buy a lot of shitbox projects and then continue to buy others then you'll never get any of them done.

>>14011201
>find cheapest new car on the market
>figure the Mitsubishi Mirage is as cheap as it gets
>cheap everything
>terrible road noise
>even for a shitbox it lacks power especially when you hit the highway
>$14k +tax title and license

Yes, I'm sure glad all those comfy full size luxury cars were destroyed because they were a little older, I sure do love paying out the ass for a pile of shit with no options, but atleast it says 2015 on it!

>>14011407
>>14011384
It will still be 20-30 years before electric fully takes over

>>14011421
get a mini-truck

>>14011533
do you not have craigslist in your city?

>>14011533
Last year (2014) I bought a 10k mile 2014 ford fiesta with the extended warranty for 13.5 k

>best
>new car investment
>ever
everyone who has one fucking loves it. ford fucked up on the autotragic transmission but the standard it a beauty.

Theres a guy in my neighborhood who bought two, first he bought the regular, then he bought the turbocharged manual transmission ST model


>yfw you should trade your heap in for a used glorious fiesta
>good decision bro

>>14011362
I picked the corolla

I remember my favorite cars being the supra, mustang and the impreza .

>>14013726
to keep with the thread

>that feel when you actually have to spend money on a beater
>the days of buying a cheap civic or a cheap 4x4 romper are gone.

Pick one or sack up and pick both.

>>14011533
why do you idiots act like used cars are impossible to find or something? ive never had trouble, and I've bought 3 cars in the past 6 years.

>>14013819
how much did you spend and for what

chances are you overpaid, at least in regards to how it was 5 years ago or so


shit 5 years ago you could get yourself a truck that if treated right would live longer that you would for $500

now $500 gets you a pile of rust that "runs if you get a fuel pump"

>>14013845
i got a 1990 gmc c1500 with 155k miles on it with no rust for $1200 a week later the powersteering pump died and the previous owner footed the bill for a new one
