For me CTS-V Wagon.

How do you guys feel about the whole driverless car business? Wired magazine just published an issue with the cover story "Your Next Car Will Drive Itself".

On one hand I find the technology fascinating, but on the other I enjoy driving and wouldn't want to let a computer do it for me. I guess the bright side is that it may keep idiots and stereotypical female drivers from wrapping themselves around a tree while they were trying to text someone.

The technology is pretty much here, it's just a matter of commercializing it. I can't say I really care considering they require no modifications to the current road system. As long as I'm still allowed to drive my car manually, it's fine with me.

I already have 2 cars + 1 motorcycle. One of the cars is big and can hold a lot of stuff and is big enough to sleep in.

However assuming I had no vehicles, I would avoid getting one in a no-money situation. If I really needed personal transportation, I would probably get a decent bicycle. Maybe a moped/scooter if I thought I could afford it.

How? I mean go to Craigslist and the 5.0 is not for sale or the owner asking about 10k for one because it has potential. I see drag rollers on sale without a motor or tranny going for 3-4k.

My first car was an 87 LX 5.0. Rusted out POS that got me through school. The thing wouldnt die.

After that I had a 91 GT with a 351c superchared w/ a 2spd Powerglide. It was a beast.

Admit it fagg/o/ts, there is not a single canonical, ficticious car or truck that can outrace the Magic School Bus. Think about it:
>It can travel through time
>It can grow and shrink at a rapid rate
>It can contort its body to adjust to any lateral or vertical forces that the car may experience during a drift
>The driver and presumably inventor is German, while the rest of the passengers are American, so even Top Gear cannot complain
>Can transform into a variety of animals/lifeforms (based on the CD-Rom games)
>If other competitors operate on a similar build structure with the AI that can see through actual eyeballs, it can sprout a giant lightbulb that would blind the other car and cause it to get baked into a pie
>Even anons can operate it as it is a bus
>Can withstand the extreme conditions of space, the various atmospheres of nearby planets
>Can support a variety of armaments for any given situation
>Contains an infinitessimal amount of life support, food, water and air.
>Can drive through any opposing material
Admit it, you guys don't have shit on the magic school bus

dear /o/, I'm probably going to be banking some serious cash this year, and I'm considering doing the standard moron thing and getting a sports car. I'm a good driver but I've never owned anything above 170 horsepower. I also live where it snows. As such, I want something of medium style power and AWD. Budget is $20-25k. I want a recent, functional car, not some fixer upper piece of shit.

How do you feel about a 2007-2008 vintage STi? Is it going to make me look like a douchebag, or be a hot mess to maintain?

I don't mind the hatchback if it is fast, as it makes it more practical to drive, even if it looks like a fucking toyota matrix.

THIS. THIS. THIS. a million fucking times. I drive a 2010 STI (sedan cause hatch laughwhores.jpg) and man it's a treat but it's not a daily driver it's meant to be driven like an idiot on trackdays with some modest tuning to it. It's not a race car so don't think that it is. Personally I wish I'd of bought a 370z Nismo.
