Jafo has a 'brand new' car...

...bit like Pete and Dud's "Momma's got a brand new bag"

from WinCustomize Forums

OK, so it seems all the movers and shakers at Stardock appear to have the same Porsche...

I really don't like them.....bit too beetle-on-steroids for my liking...

So...

I was all about to rush off and get my first-ever truly Brand New Car...a modest little Yaris [Toyota] when a mate of mine said she couldn't get 4/5ths of eff-all as a trade-in on her car and was gonna flog it privately...

So...here 'tis....

OK, so it's a new interpretation of the word 'new'....as it's VIN is 1991 and first reg'd in '92.

Karinda paid over 30 for it in '97....and I paid 3.

It's [for those who can't recognize it] a SAAB 9000 Turbo ...2.3l 4 cyl 16 valve that puts out 200bhp and can lose me my licence by a factor of 2.4 [probably not all that much less than a Porsche].

With only 201k [in kms] on the clock it's "almost" run-in...and pretty darn good for something 16 years old.

So.....anyone want a '87 Toyota Corolla CS 1600?  Has a bit of rabies in the radiator....foams at the mouth due to a popped head gasket, but otherwise 'ok'? ['OK' being car-trader-speak for 'you won't die immediately...but maybe down the road a bit]...;)

My first car was one of these.... a Standard Triumph Super 10 [the '10' stood for 10 RAC Horsepower....roughly 33bhp]

The super 10 differed in that it was 2-tone [mine was blue]

948cc inline 4... 8ohv [pushrods] 4 sp manual [no synchro in first]...;)

Its refreshing to see people getting the most use for a manufactured good.I have family members who think something a year old just must be replaced.

I have a mate who still runs a 66 Mustang - has a Shelby 427 in it - and it's still in immaculate condition... almost 'showroom' it's that well looked after. :)

I'm not really concerned about gas prices. They have been dropping around here. Past couple of days it went from 3.89 to 3.81 a gallon. My GrandPrix only comes out when it's sunny and on weekends. It's never been in the rain. I have another vehicle for work and winter.

I never understood the name Yaris. I am sure it relates to something but to me it sounds like a gay pirate.  :D 
Reply #34 from WinCustomize Forums Top
NT couldn't find out what it really means. It keeps refering to Toyota. So maybe it's a made up name.

For some fun

Rich...not me. I work for a rental car company and the car is part of my compensation package.
The nice thing is I'm able to trade for a new one when I run low on gas.

I do own a couple though...A 85 GMC short bed pick up and a 72 Buick GrandSport. Bought both new and they are still in mint condition.

You got a picture of that.

Ah, the Saab. Quite simply the ugliest cars ever built. Even a Pinto could feel pretty around a Saab. But then, the Saab could beat up the Pinto, so...

It's a 350. Wish I would have gotten the 455 Stage 1 but I had the high schooler working part time at the gas station, budget back then.

I do like the cartoon...where'd you find that?

I'm suprized you didn't buy an Australian made car like a Holden. I'm not sure how well made they are but I've been driving a Holden made Pontiac G8 and I'm pleasantly suprized how nice it is.
Most 'Australian' car I've ever owned was a Valiant Charger [VJ] 245 Hemi [Chrysler]...and best thing about that was it had the Torqueflite Tranny....same as used in the Aston Martins of the time.  [Incidentally the triple Weber carby 265 ver was slated to possibly replace the in-house Aston engine back then].
SAABs are well made....the first ver of the 9000 Turbo [3 of them] did a non-stop trial [enduro] at Talladega [sp] ....60,000 miles at an average 132mph....[22 days]...
