Sweet rides

[Pyrrho]

[Witness]

Open-top. I wondered if it was totally AI + radar (while the, of course male, owner sips champagne lounging with scantily clad ladies in complete privacy).

But better use mirror-smooth roads with the tires larger than the guards.

[Anaxagoras]

Um, wow. I wonder what it looks like on the inside.

[Abdul Alhazred]

Feh!

I'll stick with my 1956 Silver Wraith.

[xouper]

If we're allowed to stick with things, then I'll stick with my 1983 DeLorean, which I bought new at Shepard Chevrolet (an official DeLorean dealer) in Chicagoland:

[Abdul Alhazred]

Yeah sure.

Great for "Back to the Future" cosplay.

Didn't know you were a LARPer.

[xouper]

I have a great appreciation for designers who think outside the box. The usefulness of what they come up with is a topic for a different conversation, but that doesn't mean I can't also appreciate the original creativity.

[xouper]

Yeah sure.

Great for "Back to the Future" cosplay.

Didn't know you were a LARPer.

Fuck off, Abdul.

I bought it long before the movie came out.

For the record, I'm not a larper.

Sheesh.

Unlike you, I don't fantasize about skydiving (or other adventures), I've actually done it. Many times.

[Abdul Alhazred]

So you bought that overpriced sucky car for no reason at all.

Got it.

Previously posted elsewhere in this forum.

No different from Sweet Daddy Grace's Cadillacs.

IIRC, Daddy Grace claimed to be God Almighty.
Or was that Father Divine? Or both?

Later I may see if I can't hunt up a pic of Father Divine's Duesenberg.
Way cooler than any pimped out Caddy.

All I gotta say is, if I were God Almighty, that's what I'd drive.

Got it.

Sorry, but you don't "got it" at all.

1. I can speak from first-hand experience (and 60,000 miles of driving) that the DeLorean DMC-12 does not suck.

2. It was not over priced. I paid less than $20,000. New.

3. You have absolutely no knowledge about my reasons for buying it.

Why are you embarrassing yourself like this? What point are you trying to make? And why are you trying to disparage me personally in the process? Did someone piss in your cornflakes and I just happened to be the nearest target for your wrath?

Seriously, why are you doing this to me?

[Abdul Alhazred]

Didn't buy it used.

So you didn't know that used car salesman slang for one of those is "Snow Mobile".

You have absolutely no knowledge about my reasons for buying it.

OK I'll guess again.

To get laid.

How'd that work out?

[xouper]

So you didn't know that used car salesman slang for one of those is "Snow Mobile".

Wrong again, dipshit.

I'd heard all the cocaine jokes before I bought it. And then again over and over and over ad nauseum after.

OK I'll guess again. To get laid.

Wrong again, dipshit.

You're like 0 for 6 so far.

[sparks]

xoup, don't take it personally. AA is just having a bit of fun with you.

[Abdul Alhazred]

Jay-Zee had them built in Northern Ireland because he wanted an all white workforce at third world prices.

That probably wouldn't work nowadays.

BTW, I admit I got it wrong about Back to the Future LARPing.

Nobody would be that super-lame-o.

Mad Max LARPing is where it's at

Jay-Zee had them built in Northern Ireland because he wanted an all white workforce at third world prices.

Wrong again, dipshit. Yer now 0 for 7.

It was built in Northern Ireland because that government (Industrial Development Board for Northern Ireland) offered him a yuuuge amount of money.

Mad Max LARPing is where it's at

That is just soooo wrong.

That's a horrible thing to do to a DeLorean.

Almost as bad as making it into a hovercraft:

Or this monstrosity:



And if you need to carry more than one golf bag in the trunk, tow another trunk:

[Abdul Alhazred]

How many times can I get him to say "dipshit"?

[xouper]

How many times can I get him to say "dipshit"?

As many times as you like.

Dipshit.

[Abdul Alhazred]

I can't imagine being that touchy about my choice of car, but the I've got a VW New Beetle.

I'd call it adequate rather than sweet.

So, xoup Old Boy. Do you have another car, or do you go around making dramatic entrances in the De Lorean and having to deal with Back To the Future allusions from passers-by?

Maybe I'd be touchy too.

[Abdul Alhazred]

Back to the OP.

Why not drive what Anakin drives?
