Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[RandomCarGuy17]

Oh god, I found something worse and the owner is charging 12k for it on craigslist.

For 12k I could buy a 2005 C55 AMG. Which is faster, Better looking, probably more reliable, better interior, safer, and has a better sound system.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

14k for this?!

 

[Sage Ages]

14k?

As they say in the ghetto: "They be wilin'."

An eight year old AMG is not gonna beat a relatively low tech, mid nineties Chevrolet in reliability.

I went on the internet and found this...

If it was maintained very well and not driven at all it might

I'm not convinced of that. Our Saturn SL2 (1995) was terrifically reliable until it hit about 90,000 miles, and then the whole thing went to pieces. I doubt the Germans would design a car to last less than 100,000 miles.

 

[Sage Ages]

I do not understand how people can afford body kits, wheel, engines, etc, but can't even afford a cheapo paint job.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Wait, they sold saturns in the UK too? Hmm, the more I know.

RCG, that Fluttershy avatar is distracting

@Custom878 I'm stuggling with that as well

He recently moved here from the States. And the closest thing to a Saturn here would be the Astra, Aura (Vauxhall Vectra, Saab 9-3) Vue (Vauxhall Antara), etc. Which are basically rebadged Opel models that all share their respective GM platforms.

Well yeah, I know about those. I once made a few posts in another thread talking about GM's rebadging; there's also the Pontiac Solstice/Opel GT/Saturn Sky btw.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Isn't there Saturn Astras also in the states?

 

[MadMike32]

Yeah, I nearly bought one.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I've seen a few but they're getting scarce.

All these latest pics..have made me feel a bit sick

I understand what you mean.

What? Too much I'm guessing.

This right there made me stop wanting a Impala SS from the '90s everyone I see has those godawful wheels. I bet the wheel bearings on those cars would be shot to hell.

 

[SilverFire]

It's a disgrace to cars. Just people with the wrong idea on the wrong car.

Edit: This may prove my point.

Silver looks good alone, but purple flames, not so much. Plus the engine block is taller then the mustang's roof. I'm starting to think this car was from SEMA.

 

[Badasp5.0]

The flames are too much. The blower being bigger than the roof(not engine block) is cool IMHO. Its a hot rod and a old school positive displacement blower poking through the hood is never going to be subtle to might as well go full tilt on it. Looks like a car show not SEMA.

How many times is that going to get posted lol.

 

[SilverFire]

We should make this car the king of questions.

 

[Slash]

This was a Transit Connect.

Questionable but cool as hell.


It's Ecoboost powered as well.

 

[ildd]

Reminds me a little of a mini monster truck

I still would like to own an impala ss, I would probably either leave it stock or turn it into a track racer though.

@Slashfan I'm okay with it. Possibly use it as a Rally truck just by the way it looks and the suspension.
