What Car Would You Be Embarrassed To Be Seen Driving?
Out of all the cars and various models out there over the years, what would you be embarrassed to be seen driving?


I'd have a problem driving one of those "clown cars" such as the SMART car.

I've seen people driving the SMART car on the Interstate here with 18-wheelers roaring past them on inclines and hills.

I'd want more than several layers of aluminum foil between me and a 3000 lb SUV if I got into an accident. Being squashed like a bug is not my idea of a pleasant way to go.

When I was 16 and had a Automatic SOHC 89 240sx, me and my friend (shotgun) were at a light and some older prick in a 90' Carrerra rolled up next to us and rev'd his engine at us. So naturally I downshifted my automatic to super fucking racing mode (1st gear) and rev'd back, power launched the mofo via brake and gas (lol). Then, we got a jump, and about 1/4 down the road with that jackass doing all he could do to catch us, remained at my rear wheels the whole way.

True story. 240's RULE! Mine did 0-60 in like .9 seconds.



Speaking of, has anyone ever had one of the freak motors that you KNOW is more powerful than the others?

Perhaps there was something wrong with the car or driver. I had an 87 Carrera Cabriolet that would do zero to 60 in les than 6.

A Nissan Gtr, Toyota Supra, a Mazda Rx7, a Vette, 2010 Camaro, a Shelby, hmm list could go on and on....What I would really like to drive though that would boost my level of accomplishment would be a Daewoo Lanos. I would drop a nice spoiler hit up walmart and get some really bomb hub caps (not the spinners because thats ricey) and play my all time favorite cd
'Get rich or die tryin' I would be happy with that.

With the amount of money some of these guys spend on ricing out their rides, they could have just put to a decent new car or a much better used one in stock form!

I know that everyone likes to be an individual, but why do they all have to do the same damn thing to their cars?

I had to pick up a customer's yellow Beetle for work the other day; it had heart-covered seat covers, heart trinkets on the rearview mirror, and a license plate that said "BUGLUV"

Needless to say, I was NOT happy to be seen in it!

ROFL!! Hopefully she had her windows tinted. If not, I would have driven with a paper bag over my face.
