Wow, your uncle drove a Super Bee to school. When I was a kid I used to look at the Brady Bunch's massive station wagon and think if only I lived in the USA.
We didn't even have a car!

Yes he was the second owner of it he bought it for 2000$ in 72. He said he cut grass and worked for two years and also sold his Hz125 dirt bike for it haha.

Welcome!

I must admit that when I first started visiting the States in the late 80's I was gutted to find that everyone wasn't tooling around in massive V8 land barges muscle cars and that the Toyota Camry was the No 1 top seller. It was so wrong. I love that car!

I think still the majority of people are in Honda's, toyotas and nissans. I myself drive a Nissan pickup daily and I love it. Nissan is probably my favorite. Most people where I live drive trucks and suvs as well.

I was just kidding. It's what many Americans say when they find out you are English.
"Hey, I met John from London. Do you know him"?


I saw your name on your profile.

Oh haha I actually play guitar and sing for a band all over Georgia. We've opened for saliva and a few other bigger names. But I thought perhaps you might have stumbled into one of our bars we play at. My cousin actually lives in newport and my step father is danish so I didn't know lol

I'm the opposite to you.

I have a supercharged Mustang in the garage and wouldn't trade it for any Euro-blob-of-blandness.
A friend of mine has a 4th gen Z28 and recently bought a Merc 500SL which he describes as fairly antiseptic and nothing like as much fun as the Z28.
My other friend has a Corvette C5 Z06 which he has had since 2004.
My other friend has a 69 Chevelle.

We would no more want a Euro car as an STD.
Yes, I did test-drive an Elise back in the day but preferred my own 4th gen Z28 and Corvettes. Fun needs to be big and lairy.

I wanted a Ram V10 but it won't even fit in what used to be my parking space or most parking spaces here. I also could afford but refuse to tolerate 8-11 (UK)mpg.

Hello and welcome

Christ... I bet you need a car just to drive from one end of the boot (trunk) to the other.
It's a ridiculous size, but it's fabulous.

I guess its more of wanting something different. Mustangs and camaros are a blast but I see them at every stoplight. I mean I love my muscle cars and have owned quite a few but want to try something different. I that's awesome that some of you appreciate heavy American muscle. Its a shame it costs so much to ship cars. The late 90s z28s can be found by the thousands for less than 5k

You can literally lay down in the trunk. Taking a sharp turn is kind of similar to a boat it just floats around corners in its own time haha. But on The express way it will throw you in the back seat.

However its still not as long as this. This car is just enormous and has a 500 big block. Its pretty much a convertable tank and won't even completely fit in the garage. I don't drive this one as much but my friends and I will all pile in and go out in Atlanta with it. The only problem is that all the thugs In Atlanta love to steal these so its almost a necessity to bring your pistol. Its happened three times since I've had it. One guy even stuck a gun in my face at the varsity which is like a drive in food place. But its still fun

Then they do this to them..... Very sad
