Automotive Guilty Pleasures

[Fastcarguy]

Was literally my favorite car of all time when I was young, and I still have some adoration for it today.

This also goes for the Cobra R.

Im not sure how these are guilty pleasures.

Compared to this, an SN95 is a guilty pleasure.

Even then, an SN95 can hardly be called as such. It looks good and has a level of performance to boot.

I'm not much of a Muscle Car kind of guy, or an American car guy at all.. But Terminator?

 

[-Fred-]

I'd love a Terminator. But the SN95 in general, ehhhh, I'll pass. I'd rather go for a Camaro/Firebird of the same era, terrible interior or not.

I kind of only liked the Terminator, the rest is eh... as you said.

It's a guilty pleasure, because whenever it gets brought up, it seems like everyone is immediately quick to bring your manhood and sexual preferences into question, because as I've heard it described plenty of times: "it's a girl's sweet-16 present."


Then again, this is the internet and people will bring your manhood and sexual preferences into question out of the clear blue regardless of what you say. Not the case around here though because everyone is a lot more civilized.

This one might really be a guilty pleasure.

I actually think the Lincoln MKT is a very handsome car, especially with an up level trim.

That sounds like something somebody with a small penis would say.

I was looking for a non-Focus with RS in its title when I happened upon the Renault RS01. I'd heard of it but paid no attention because it's really not my cup of tea, but I find it quite handsome. Others may be hard-pressed to consider it a guilty pleasure, but I indeed feel guilty for liking it (for its styling--big power, big spoilers and big tires aren't what I like to see in sporting/race cars). The wheels are sharp as well.

Though I do feel monochromatic is the way to go, save for the nifty bit under the roof panel and obviously over the air inlet.

Not sure how that is a guilty pleasure, @TexRex. It's a well known fact that car is awesome!

2011 Dodge Avenger in all black. I consider this the baby Charger. Comes with a V6 too.

I'm not a fan of blacked out cars like that, but the Avenger R/T (performance package) in a different color looks better.

And here I thought I explained it.

You don't like to see big power in race cars?

Not particularly, but I'm even less interested when it's combined with big wings and big tires. I'm far more interested in small cars with skinny tires and minimal downforce, which is why I'm not interested in modern race cars. This goes for the RS01 as well, but I do find the styling appealing.

Nah, I find red with silver rims to be somewhat boring. All-black cars with metallic paint look very sharp. Here's a LaFerrari given the same treatment.

All black looks much better on super cars than SUVs, sedans, and hatchbacks.

 

[CSLACR]

You can't go wrong with black. Any car that looks good, still looks good black. Ugly cars look better in black too.

I guess color is subjective.

 

[TexRex]

Refractive as well.

I'm not a fan of black cars, either. However, I absolutely despise matte black in most cases... it looks incredibly cheap, IMO.

Over here, its the colour of the ghetto.

That and flat grey.

But it makes a car look so mean and the driver look hard...

...

...even though they're an accountant.

 

[Fastcarguy]

I think matte black looks alright on some cars
The Lamborghini is also a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

[TexRex]

All that work just to end up looking like a chicken left in the oven and forgotten. And its owner may well be a notary public.

For some weird reason, I quite like the Lincoln Mark VII.... No idea why, but I had a remote control one in green. Loved it as a kid and still kind of like it.

 

[LM7325]

Quite a few of the Ford Fox platform cars are guilty pleasures of mine.

Did you vote on my Suggestions thread for this car?

-> My only angst in regards to the RS is the mere fact that this car isn't street-legal...
