Yup. Since I have to get an auto, might as well do it in style and comfort. Just going through the whole car selling/buying process I hate...

As the wind changes so does my mind. So now that my knee seems ok, thankfully, I am looking at getting another manual. Now I'm thinking about the 94-95 Mustang GT, or the 89-95 Corvette again. At least I have established a few requirements though: It has to be a V8, equipped with a manual transmission, and still easy enough to work on. So that leaves the Corvette and Mustang. Perhaps the 90-92 F-body, but finding one of those with a V8 and 5-speed is like finding a woman that doesn't turn into a demon once a month.

Why don't you get one of these? They don't lack power, are manual and can also turn corners

They will only set you back AUD$500000 - AUD$1Mil depending on if you get the Ford, Holden, Mercedes or Nissan


Serious now, I like the Vette. Always have, and always will

If I had the extra cash I'd just get a C5, but I don't. So that leaves the C4.

They're both really nice looking cars...

They are ridiculously expensive here in Australia

I love the C5. I want a black on black liftback. Mmmm....

Wish I could afford one:
$30-$80000 here...

On a good day you can find the earlier C5's for around $12,000. Halfway there. I refuse to have a car with payments, so it can wait.

Still a massive difference between $12000 and $80000, not to mention that these are also LHD so we can only get them registered as a 'Show Car' meaning limited days to use them

Just move to America, all of your problems are solved.

Sooo.... I've thought about it and I must be one of few people that wants to sell their car because of the colour and how the exhaust sounds.

Anyhow I suppose in the next week or two will put the car up for sale. I just despise the whole car selling and buying process. So much disdain.

If I moved to America, it would solve my 'expensive crap' problem, but then I would also gain a bunch more problems such as:
I don't want to sell or LHD convert my Celica

I can always just have a holiday and import a 'vette while I am over there since I have friends that live there so free accommodation

Just buy a new and improved manually equipped Celica. That's ok, having to scratch plans for buying another manual car anyhow. Knees have been acting up again.

Buy my 82 z28 I ripped the engine out of an early nova, no electronics except the msd ignition. The way a car was intended to be. Doesn't do too bad gas mileage wise either. Just a hair under 400 horses now

If it was a 79-81 Trans Am I'd be all over it. That's ok, thinking a 94-95 Miata now.

Does it come with hair clippers

Hahaha!! love the pun

I like hair, no need clippers.

No doubt you'll be needing the polish more than the car then,

They don't have vanity mirrors though buddy

^ Have you driven one?

Yes thanks

That's what got me into the RWD scene

As you may or may not have been able to tell I'm joking about the hair clippers etc ..
