Any kind of BMW

Also, the whole Ford/Chevy truck rivalry is retarded, nobody outside of North America drives trucks and no-one anywhere really gives a drat about their cars. And I say this as a Focus owner.

old bmws and mercedes and porsches are cool, the new one are just rear end in a top hat canaries though

ford/chevy is such a joke because neither can hold a candle to the real Truck That Built The World, the Hilux

Shut the gently caress up about the Hellcat, you will never own one and nobody cares about your opinion on it

I forgot about the Cousin Omar special, my shame is manifold

The Bugatti Veyron, worth about $2.5 million each:

Note that these crashed cars on this page represent 2% of all the Veyrons in existence

what should i care about instead? how to learn about car?

reliability, blue book value, known problems, whether you can afford it, how much it costs to service per year and most importantly test driving it and asking yourself "will I be comfortable driving this on my 100th daily commute?"

Because if you think a car is for smoking hoons at stoplights you're loving kidding yourself.

190Es are also passable - Cosworth models especially.

German poo poo is generally pretty resistant because they didn't do stupid poo poo like certain Italian car brands who may have used salt water to cool the steel in the shells/frames and ended up impregnating the salt directly into the loving metal before painting over it. Which is a shame because most late 80s/early 90s Italian stuff otherwise owns.

What?! Why? Is fresh water scarce in Italy of something?

e: oh, it quenches the steel faster than fresh water.

No but apparently not being a shithead was in short supply. It basically affected one model of car and apparently they were already visibly rusting as the truck took them out the front gate of the factory. Some of their other cars rusted too but no more than any other car given the equivalent treatment but the damage was done and everyone associated them with rust, even when they were building arguably the greatest hatchback ever built with zero problems.

All right, I give up. My google-fu is weak. Which car is it? A Lancia Beta? Fiat 124? Alfa Romeo Alfasud?

I was just thinking: Back the Future used a DeLorean for laughs; lol at this wacky Irish car as a time machine! If Fox ever decide to do a remake (and it must have crossed some executive's mind) what car would make a good time machine?
