Yep, I can't wait until I start seeing some Charger cop cars.Kim _Kaphwan said:dude! the new charger is gonna be a cop car?! fucking sweet! i love how those things are shaping up. they're really sexy!
in my area it's all ford crown victorias. though there are the cop corvettes that come up every once in a while. those are fucking scary.Lets Gekiga In said:Yep, I can't wait until I start seeing some Charger cop cars.
I still see Dodge Intrepids used as cop cars around campus, so hopefully that means they get upgraded to the Charger!
That's sweet. In my actual hometown (Winter Springs, FL) we have Jettas, New Beetle, Monte Carlo and a Crown Vic or two. There's also state troopers that hang around a bit who drive Camaros.Kim _Kaphwan said:in my area it's all ford crown victorias. though there are the cop corvettes that come up every once in a while. those are fucking scary.
we have expeditions (they're totally 4-wheeled out and have massive wenches) the crown vic, the sherrifs drive caprices that haven't been retired yet. there's the vettes. and there are F-250's as well though they're used mostly for busting the rural criminals like cattle rustlers and such. one time my friend tim was driving his pickup at about 140 down the highway (the thing is modded to hell) and all he sees is this red flash, then it stops infront of him. it was the vette pulling him over. hahaLets Gekiga In said:That's sweet.

Dude, you think the Evo and the WRX STi are actually good looking cars. Very well performing, but not that good looking.Eric said:The new Charger is ugly as sin.
you're ugly as sin, but we still love you.Eric said:The new Charger is ugly as sin.
i know some people that have done it. and hell my uncle does it on a regular basis as he buys and sells cars to people all over the world (the guy is a professional driver, used to test cars for subaru) i'm sure i could ask him how he does it. i love how he always has a different car at his house. one time he had a V-8 vantage there. and he was just like "yeah that came in today, but it's being sold to a buyer in south america. go figure" or that awesome cherry red stingray he had for a while that he sold to a guy in abu dhabi. i'll see what i can get out of him.lithy said:Good topic, I just haven't had much to add, been in Los Angeles the last week and seen more 911s than I should in a lifetime, a few Gallardos, various Ferrari's, a DB9, a few Bentley's, hmmm what else.
Anyway I've got a question that seems relevant enough for this thread, has anyone ever shipped a car overseas before? What's it cost, which company etc. Specifically from the UK to the US.

it's not hard when you have the money to do it. he just does it on a constant basis and the cars come to him on those big trucks they use to ship cars around it's pretty cool to see one pull up to his house. i remember when the old MR2's came out. (the like 90's MR2's) he had a truck with three of em come to his house and he test drove one just to see what they could do, then the other two he promptly sold.Lets Gekiga In said:Man, that is really cool. My friend Mike told me it was very hard to get a car from another country to drive in the U.S., but I guess he was wrong about that one?
After seeing an XLR for the first time like a couple of months ago I've been a huge fan of them. Definitely one of my faves.mark-art said:meh... never cared for the caddies. Too many straights, not enough curves to balance them out. It'll be fast as hell tho...
i love the cadillac. great cars if you ask me. they were one of the first american car companies to come along and throw some competition at ford and their machine. in my opinion cadillac makes some of the best cars america has to offer. simply because they run well and they've always been pure class. heck they designed a car for john d. rockefeller.mark-art said:meh... never cared for the caddies. Too many straights, not enough curves to balance them out. It'll be fast as hell tho...
which is why this new cadillac is a good thing. it's a throwback to an older musclecar. the right angles, the convertible top, the V-8. the rear wheel drive. it's like it's begging to be the new american musclecar... or one of em anyways.mark-art said:I definately think older american cars are awesome, especially when you start talking about deusenburgs(sp?) pierce arrows and such. And I love some muscle cars as well. Its the newer american cars I don't particularly care for. The american companies just seem to be trying too hard to make their designs more european. I dunno, that my opinion.
I really like how well GM is making Cadillac almost more of a performance brand. Keep up the good work at Cadillac, GM.Kim _Kaphwan said:which is why this new cadillac is a good thing. it's a throwback to an older musclecar. the right angles, the convertible top, the V-8. the rear wheel drive. it's like it's begging to be the new american musclecar... or one of em anyways.
cadillac is in my opinion the only good car company GM has. i hate saab's. chevy makes me go meh. GMC is just trucks. buick is for old people. pontiac is for people who like to buy broken cars. hummer is overpriced and stupid. oldsmobile is getting the axe. and that leves us with cadillac. the one car company GM has that i really really like. they're timeless, they're classy, and they're sweet rides with a lot of pickup.Lets Gekiga In said:I really like how well GM is making Cadillac almost more of a performance brand.

I think Saturn is getting better though with the introduction of the Sky and I think the best car they currently have is the Ion Red Line (based on the same Delta platform made by Opel which is used for the Astra).Kim _Kaphwan said:cadillac is in my opinion the only good car company GM has. i hate saab's. chevy makes me go meh.

well the new saturns aren't bad. it's just that... they're saturns. and i always hated those things.Lets Gekiga In said:I think Saturn is getting better though with the introduction of the Sky and I think the best car they currently have is the Ion Red Line (based on the same Delta platform made by Opel which is used for the Astra).
The Saturn Ion Red Line has Recaro seats, 205 hp and 200 lb ft of torque and is a very excellent handler (mainly because of the Delta platform created by Opel). The Saturn Ion Red Line is an excellent stealth car and is basically a Rally car.Kim _Kaphwan said:well the new saturns aren't bad. it's just that... they're saturns. and i always hated those things.
hmm. rally car you say? you've piqued my interest. pics please.Lets Gekiga In said:The Saturn Ion Red Line has Recaro seats, 205 hp and 200 lb ft of torque and is a very excellent handler (mainly because of the Delta platform created by Opel).
