Help me decide!

[Joe Walsh]

Hi everybody!
I've been debating for the last 4 years about possibly buying another vehicle to potentially replace my Marauder...although I'm not quite sure yet.
Help me decide which of these cars would be best for me.

#1 Yugo
Small, sporty, killer paint job...you'll never lose it in the WalMart parking lot.
I've always liked 'Rally inspired' cars!
It does have a spotty reliability record....but when a bright yellow wheel comes off, it becomes it's own warning signal.
It also has a rear window defroster to help keep my friend's hands warm as they push the Yugo in cold weather.

#2 Toyota Corolla Wagon
Good fuel economy, they can be had with 4WD, lots of room for storing repair and replacement parts in the back.
They are not very powerful...but, Hey!....speed isn't everything.
Everybody knows that Toyotas are THE most reliable and well built cars.
I especially like the styling! The way that the window lines from the doors flow into the rear wagon area.

#3 Isuzu Vehicross
They come with a 'Torque on Demand' feature, which is a bit of a misnomer for a japanese car, but I still like it.
The Vehicross were ridiculously expensive when they were new, but you can buy good used examples for only @ $24,000!
You cannot deny the sexy styling on this choice! The chrome buckteeth accent is top notch. The 'Rodeo sunk in a plastic bucket' look is so avant garde!
Add in almost NO useful storage space and you have a winner...

I think...well...I'm not sure.

I'll post up on that thought later.

[O's Fan Rich]

I've been a BIG fan of those Corolla Wagons for a long time.
Room for 12, places to hide your stash, and of course good fuel economy.
They'd be my suggestion!

[Marauder M.C.]

Yugo all the way!!!

[nomad]

Start a poll, or 3 or 4.

Ask the members at least twice a week what they/we think.

Take your time. A major decision like this should take 2-3 years.

Why should I make a rash decision?

[03calitejas]

Hey Joe,

Ya know, not enough people are sitting in front of their computers on weekends so you may need to bump this post 5 or 6 times. That rally car yugo is really eye catching....

[fastblackmerc]

Need to get advice from Aren Jay........

[nomad]

Why should I make a rash decision?

Sorry,Joe. I dropped the 1. It should read 12-13 years.:beer:

Take the one that the has the room for the biggest fart can, ground effects, most space for decals and wings.

[jayp_38372]

Wow those are some tough choices, can i go with number errrrr 2 bob lol.

[Joe Walsh]

Take the one that the has the room for the biggest fart can, ground effects, most space for decals and wings.

Excellent suggestion!

I am not into the Fart Cans....but most space....yes!....well....maybe .

I'll take that into consideration....although your idea could cause me to delay my decision as I mull it over.....:hmmm:

[a_d_a_m]

I hereby nominate this as the best thread ever on MMN.

[TAKEDOWN]

Turdyota all the way!

[Blackened300a]

I'll take that into consideration....although your idea could cause me to delay my decision as I mull it over.....:hmmm:

I guess the moron with his endless threads of uselessness finally got under your skin once again? That didnt take long!

BTW, you didnt stick to the format, you have to list a bunch of cars that you couldnt possibly afford but tell everyone you can so your internet persona looks cool but in real life your just a loser in a dark room with a keyboard and no life.. :shake:

Joe, you know MM.net needs this cause its in the lounge and all topics about the car have been exhausted and we need to be kind to fellow members and we look like childish adults if we complain and........etc :blah::blah::blah::blah: :rolleyes::puke:

[sd8683]

Definitely choose the Toyota, its the only one the dead horse will fit in :D

[CBT]

Turdyota wagon for the win. Then, if you ever find yourself in a bored, drunken stupor, you can cut off the top and have the bitchinist dull red El Kimono on the block.

[LIGHTNIN1]

YUGO for sure. You have to look ahead. Suppose you are in a accident with a large truck and you cannot be identified with dental records. If you were in the Yugo that could be accomplished by checking the yellow wheels.

[Aren Jay]

..........

[Blackened300a]

That Toyota wagon rocks, but I like the yugo wheels. Yugo parts might be hard to find though because you bombed the factory.

My Toyota was great in England while i was as school over there. It was a big bigger and different design from the red one but it being red makes up for many of it's down sides.

Wagons are also great as you can carry stuff and still reach the things you put on the roof rack, unlike a SUV or a mini van.

Plus you're not driving a SUV or Mini van.

Easier to park too.

Great points here people. Im taking notes!

[RoyLPita]

None of the above.

[johnnyrauder]

aer you for real?????????

[DOOM]

:loco: Nuff said.

[justbob]

Joe, I'm kinda diggin the wagon theme. But do they make a two-tone green? That would be sick! Oh and maybe some of those plastichrome spinners?????

[GordonB]

Joe,
If I were you, I'd choose all three! Easy non-choice!

[Bluerauder]

Help me decide which of these cars would be best for me.
Yeah, right Joe. I am not gonna play this silly game. You will just be back next week with 3 more choices for us to recommend. We all know that you are secretly considering rebadging a SmartCar as a Ford Escort to sneak into Carlisle next year. ;)

[Haggis]

Joe listen to me...it is the Yugo all the way and if you get into an accident your already in a pine wood box.

[MyTMerc]

Although the Yugo is an obvious front runner, my friend bought one when we were stationed in Maine years ago. He just got divorced and it was all he could afford. He drove a few of us to lunch across town and three us had to get out and push when we hit a steep hill in town. So, the moral of the story (there could be other things to learn from this, just saying) is always bring your friends to lunch.

On second thought, buy American! I hear Pontiac made a real sharp SUV called the Aztec.

[de minimus]

The real question (or two) is do any of these come in a "L" version, and if not, then how hard wouild it be to make them into "L's"?

[Joe Walsh]

I'd pick the Yugo in an instant...if I could figure out how to fit a flat 8 cylinder into it.

Maybe modify a W12 engine to fit?

Haven't you ever seen the 'clown cars' at the Circus?

You can fit at least 12...

I just peed my pants watching that Yugo video!
(The soundtrack was great too.)

:lol:

Talk about a disappearing act....Exit stage left!....:rofl:

[Haggis]

Some 2x4s and plywood and build yourself a larger engine bay.

[Joe Walsh]

Some 2x4s and plywood and build yourself a larger engine bay.

Hmmmmm.....could I use PVC pipe for the headers?

[Haggis]

Hmmmmm.....could I use PVC pipe for the headers?

Its a Yugo, anything is possible.

Oh boy......:o......More choices!

You guys are really starting to confuse me with all these other options that I hadn't previously considered.

Maybe they offer a Pontiac Aztek 'L' version!?

Not sure, but Rich has the plans for 4-wheel conversion.
:D

Is can opener two words?

[Joe Walsh]

:D

Nope...I think that he gave those plans to Gordon.....and Gordon's darn dog ate them!

BTW: The more I look at those Aztec pictures, the more I CANNOT believe that the Pontiac design studio actually approved that hump backed abortion!
I would love to see some of the consumer test feedback comments when they showed the prototypes.

[Mike Poore]

I am not into the Fart Cans....but most space....yes!....well....maybe .
:hmmm:

Um, I recall a certain device, resembling a fart can, attached to the exhaust pipe of a Chevy SUV, or was it a Ford Exploder, you were driving, when we went to Bert's the time Shaun had the CAM DOO down there.

Oh yeah, and the guy with the Viper and the lady in the over-stuffed leather wardrobe. :eek:

I always remember that stuff, only I can't tell you where I'm supposed to be, tomorrow.

Um, Gordon? Just shut the hell up.:D

No Fart Pipe Mike...just an expensive Borla stainless steel Cat-back system for the now long gone S10 Blazer. It made that 4.3 Vortec sound NICE!

[hot-rauder]

Joe, I recommend the Aztek... always ready for any offroad conditon that would happen on road lol.

We always knew them as the Vagina Mobiles.... They arent pretty from the outside but once you get in they are really nice....
:rofl:

[Spectragod]

I have to choose the one that a supercharger is available for....... oh wait..... is the Yougo available as a Phaeton? Lets go ask a supermodel what she thinks.......:flamer:

[Joe Walsh]

Help me out guys!

I am still struggling with this almost certain, possible,...maybe....decision.

[Phrog_gunner]

Well you should only trade the MM for something more rare, like the Mutt Cutts van.....

http://members.greenpeace.org/gpblog/media/513418/mutt_cutts_van.jpg

[de minimus]

Joe I'm a bit worried that you're rushing into this.....I would suggest at least 600 more posts before you're ready to possibly, maybe make the move.

[Leadfoot281]

Help me out guys!

I am still struggling with this almost certain, possible,...maybe....decision.

You sound like you're in a hurry. Try to remember what's at stake here! This is a matter of utmost importance!

You haven't even done a Yugo Vs ATV poll yet!

How could you possibly make such a critical decision without comparing completely opposite vehicals in a side by side comparison?

[Phrog_gunner]

Joe I'm a bit worried that you're rushing into this.....I would suggest at least 600 more posts before you're ready to possibly, maybe make the move.

That's true, you don't want to rush into this and Obama it up.

[Vortech347]

Option 3 kicks ass... You can pick up chicks with it. Even the fat ones.

[Phrog_gunner]

Yeah, but fat chicks are like mopeds, fun to ride until your friends see you...

[Joe Walsh]

I'm not sure that you can fit many fat chicks in an Isuzu Vehicrap.

BTW: Guys...I think that you are right.
I best not rush into this important decision!
I'll start more threads on this later.

[Phrog_gunner]

You might even want to start a couple threads to see which thread would produce the best results.

[Mr. Man]

Joe, Borla exhaust on a S-10.:rofl: LMAO. May I suggest perhaps a Fiat might be in your future. Maybe if you pray real hard God might bring you a Peugeot. I even have a line on all the special tools you'll need to keep er running.

[Joe Walsh]

Nope...No Fiat....I'm leaning towards the Yugo.

Although, that lime green Pinto is a sweet ride!

I'm having such a tough time deciding.

[CBT]

Hate to tell him, but that kid belongs to a guy driving a Camaro.

Time for a new Yugo KKR500 thread.:beer:

[O's Fan Rich]

PINTOS RULE!!!!:banana2:

[mrjones]

I hate to jump in so late on this one, but with a name like yours, there's only one acceptable car: A MASERATI THAT DOES 185!!!!

[Egon Spengler]

I have no opinion....

[Phrog_gunner]

I hate to jump in so late on this one, but with a name like yours, there's only one acceptable car: A MASERATI THAT DOES 185!!!!

What about a limo, ride in the back? Lock the doors in case your attacked...

[Joe Walsh]

Lime green Pinto is now on my list!

This decison is getting complicated.

That Pinto suggestion got me thinking....:hmmm:

How about a reliable car like a Chevy Chevette??

[Phrog_gunner]

The vette is one of the all time classic American autos.......

[imorb1994]

Hold the phone everybody, are all of these cars local Joe?
How will you get the car home?

[Phrog_gunner]

Hold the phone everybody, are all of these cars local Joe?

Yeah, you might need to start a thread to see which truck you should buy to go and tow your new car back home with.

[Joe Walsh]

Actually my next thread is going to be the lengthy comparison of how well each vehicle can negotiate the winter snow.

[Phrog_gunner]

safety first boys and girls......

[n3fvg]

Buy American Joe, why drive more American car companies into the ground further!
And American means the profits stay here, not going to Japan, Yugoslavia, Germany, etc.

Hi everybody!
I've been debating for the last 4 years about possibly buying another vehicle to potentially replace my Marauder...although I'm not quite sure yet.
Help me decide which of these cars would be best for me.

#1 Yugo
Small, sporty, killer paint job...you'll never lose it in the WalMart parking lot.
I've always liked 'Rally inspired' cars!
It does have a spotty reliability record....but when a bright yellow wheel comes off, it becomes it's own warning signal.
It also has a rear window defroster to help keep my friend's hands warm as they push the Yugo in cold weather.

#2 Toyota Corolla Wagon
Good fuel economy, they can be had with 4WD, lots of room for storing repair and replacement parts in the back.
They are not very powerful...but, Hey!....speed isn't everything.
Everybody knows that Toyotas are THE most reliable and well built cars.
I especially like the styling! The way that the window lines from the doors flow into the rear wagon area.

#3 Isuzu Vehicross
They come with a 'Torque on Demand' feature, which is a bit of a misnomer for a japanese car, but I still like it.
The Vehicross were ridiculously expensive when they were new, but you can buy good used examples for only @ $24,000!
You cannot deny the sexy styling on this choice! The chrome buckteeth accent is top notch. The 'Rodeo sunk in a plastic bucket' look is so avant garde!
Add in almost NO useful storage space and you have a winner...

I think...well...I'm not sure.

I'll post up on that thought later.

[justbob]

I always wanted a V8 Chevevette! There used to be a few around here.


Make sure whichever one you buy isn't really a scam!

[Joe Walsh]

Buy American Joe, why drive more American car companies into the ground further!
And American means the profits stay here, not going to Japan, Yugoslavia, Germany, etc.


Point taken!
I am leaning towards a domestic car.
(although that Yugo looks so bad-azz!)


I always wanted a V8 Chevevette! There used to be a few around here.

BTW: Could I fit a flat 8 into the Chevette?

Make sure whichever one you buy isn't really a scam!

Another good point to consider!
How can I assure myself that any of these sellers isn't a scam artist?
Or is that topic best saved for another thread?

[nomad]

You REALLY need to start a poll, or 3.:beer:

[Joe Walsh]

I'm still waffling on this decision...I think that I will look at all the choices again.
Then I will post a full dissertation, probably 3-4 pages in length, comparing all the interesting point of the vehicles that I can't decide on.

Next I plan on looking at several vehicles that are way out of my price range and then compare them to my Marauder.

I'm thinking:

Aston Martin DB9
Lamborghini Gallardo
Ferrari F430

Then we will discuss how well each does in the snow!
Sounds good doesn't it?

[Phrog_gunner]

And in the middle of talking about them, you should go off on a rant about how the bathrooms at the Subaru dealer were surprisingly feng shui.

[Aren Jay]

[Joe Walsh]

Troll Alert!

[Phrog_gunner]

Don't be so hard on the guy Joe. I mean if he didn't have his all mighty thread count to improve he would be forced to go back to getting his butt kicked on world of warcraft. If he loses there one more time and decides to shoot himself in the head, do you want that on your conscious?

[johnnyrauder]

how many times with thread???????????

So he's the one in the youtube video...

[MyTMerc]

How about a reliable car like a Chevy Chevette??

I looked this car up in my car dictionary, it's pronounced "Sh!# Vette". But your right, the reliability numbers were awesome until it rolled off the factory line. Kinda took a nose dive after that...

Keep searching Joe. I know there is more American examples of hung over engineering to consider. You could go old school and consider the Edsel, early Corvairs or maybe even that chick magnet, the early 60's Nash Rambler. So many choices... Good Luck!

I have more thoughts on the matter but I need to raise my count so stay tuned.

[Hack Goby]

Yup, I quoted myself, shameless I know:D Who said it didn't have to be entertaining.

So back to the thoughtful insight: Once you decide your comparison, one of your metrics could be, where there books written or movies made that extolled the virtues of the vehicle your considering? Wait, that's two metrics. Another could be, where there any law suits against the manufacturer regarding safety concerns where people lost their lives directly related to the design? More importantly, could you get laid simply by driving it.

Maybe you should start a thread to help define the metrics:rolleyes:

[MyTMerc]

How about this?

Cool video! I was thinking more like this honey:

[guspech750]

I would say look into a "Le Car".

That's 3 more to add to my list of possible, maybe, not sure I'm gonna buy vehicles!

I have more thoughts on the matter but I need to raise my count so stay tuned.

Please feel free to utilize my thread in just such a manner!

I must research Books, Safety, Lawsuits, Getting Laid .....well maybe just the first 3!

A new thread to further expound on this slow and difficult decision making process.

BTW: Does it have to be 'Metrics'..???
I never really learned that and I prefer the 'Englishs' method......:P

I always assumed it's because I need two. One to hang off each nipple. But that's my business, and I thank you kindly to stay the hell out of it. Good day, sir.

Ouch!

I always thought that Vice-Grips worked best as a replacement shifter handle when you break your shifter off and are left with a 5 speed stub.

Now....Back to my impending, probably gonna happen, thinking about it, don't want to rush, maybe, sorta, kinda, need to mull it over car purchase decision.

[Windsor58]

If you decide to go with the Yugo, buy two. Make sure they both have sunroofs. That way you'll have one for each foot...

[Aren Jay]

.....................

OK!

Now I just ran across this beauty......and it has the right kind of shifter!
This is really going to make me reconsider my other options...maybe...I think...kinda.

These cars are so weird looking! I have noticed that the people that drive them are weird looking as well! Lets get ArenJay in one of these... wherever his crazy ass is!

Wow!.....Am I glad that I still haven't decided which car to buy!

Yeah,
It looks like the result of the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile humping an IKEA storage cabinet.

Holy popcorn machines Batman!....:eek:

Is that thing for real?

I'm 6'3", so I'd have to cut a hole in the bubble to fit my noggin' through!..:P

Don't rule out the Kia Soul. I am sure that have one in a color for you. ;)

Can you imagine going to pick up your date in that? She probably would flip you off and go back in the house.

[Joe Walsh]

I found a much cheaper version, except that it doesn't have wheels:

BTW: They call that thing the 'Peel Trident' because after you are run over by an 18 wheel truck they peel your carcass off the road!

[justbob]

yes that car is for real LOL. They did a build up on one of these on Monster garage (snow mobile engine swap, but fail....) also they were driving one around inside the corporate offices on topgear. That episode was as funny as they get!

Unicycle wheelie or burnout?

[Joe Walsh]

Thanks for the suggestion Charlie!
I'll have to research the Kia Soul.
One thing though....I was under the impression that 'KIA' meant 'CRAP' in Korean...:dunno:

"Hey Sweetie!
Would you like to 'roll' with me?
I bet you can't make me pull a wheelie!"

I'd hit it...

[ImpalaSlayer]

uhmmmm eww!

[LIGHTNIN1]

I'd hit it...


Where?:dunno:

[Phrog_gunner]

Where?:dunno:

ANYwhere you want. That's the best part.

[justbob]

On a tarp..

[LIGHTNIN1]

ANYwhere you want. That's the best part.

Its a big plus to be presented choices instead of being stuck with the norm. She's a keeper.

[Bluerauder]

Thanks for the suggestion Charlie!
I'll have to research the Kia Soul.

Saw my first one this morning on the way to work and said "WTF IS IT?" :D

Kia Soul >>>> http://www.kiasoul.com/?cid=sem&ppc=y

[Joe Walsh]

OK folks....I'm still wracked with indecision!........:hmmm:

WHEW!...Am I glad that I didn't buy any of the cars I was considering!

I just saw the car that I am 99%, kinda, mostly sure that I am going to buy:

The Nissan JUKE!!!

http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae326/JoeJWalsh/2011_Nissan_JUKE_2.jpg


The reason I like it so much is because:

I don't have to worry about getting into an accident and repairing it....
It already looks like it has been in a wreck!

I don't have to worry about security and locking it....
Who would want to steal it?....just look at it!

I don't have to worry about giving people a ride in it...
No one would want to......and check out all the rear headroom and storage capacity!

It's name sounds eerily similar to my initial reaction upon first viewing it...PUKE!...:puke:

Looks like a Baleen whale humped a Nissan Murano.
Transformers, more than fails the eye!
It comes with the 'Pride Delete' option.

What the hell is that, a Molestercon? In his normal configuration is he an old red van with 'Free Candy' written on the side?

Coming soon!:

Wimp fodder. You ain't 'nothin 'til you have a 5.0 Mustang belt tensioner wheelie bar.

OMG!!! I read the whole damn thread... I'm dying! :D I musta got here just after Aren left!

Hey Joe! I really think the trident could save you a lot on popcorn if you frequent movie theatres and you could actually make a lot of dough selling to the drive-in crowd.

[PonyUP]

Joe, when in the market for an automobile, there are a pluthera of things to consider. For example, gas mileage, comfort, handling, and for those living in an area that is condusive to snow, response and traction are a big part of it. Might I suggest the auto below.

23079


With 6 tires traction will hopefully be improved. The question is does it offset the additional expense of replace those tires
