Nice shoes.

Some may find this one questionable, but I like it. It is an interesting choice for an autocross car.

-10 cool points because LS.

Then again, as long as it started life as a 3-series not an M3, it's okay.

But yes, the LS swap into everything is tasteless. Still cool, but tasteless.

I'll put my flame suit on, but the E36 M3 was not much more than a 328i with a bodykit in North America, so it doesn't really matter. I'd shove a 2JZ or an M50 in there, I don't know, but not an LS, even though I really like them anyway.

Very clean Micra CC, I want one!

The vast majority of E36s have 6 cylinders. Personally I kinda like the idea of one being set aside as a sort of E36 muscle car, almost like an E39 M5 but dialed up a notch.

I'm not fond of the 2011 Corsa...

..But boy, did I manage to find something that has at least decency.

Only if the wheels were black, then I'd love it.

Well yeah, but even then, there are other options than an LS if you really want to stand out. The E92's V8, the E39 M5 V8, a Ford Coyote (or a Voodoo), perhaps an M5 V10?

But then again, each of those are worth more than 4 E36s, so nevermind.

I am sorry, but get that out of here. That is not tasteful.

What if you go to the Junkyard and grab a V8 from there ?

Your opinion. It's stanced a bit, it's clean. Be glad I didn't link a riced Corsa.
And @C_R5_575TLR if you think that's chav like, I don't know what to say, this is nowhere liek chav cars I seen int he past.

 

[TexRex]

stanced

 

[LivingWithGames]

Stanced cars can look good too. Didn't you know? This oen is not oevrdone either.

But I won't let that stop me, if you guys think it's questionable, then post that away, I'm not bothered.

It is a ricer and it is chav like. Awful paint color, overrated wheels that are painted yellow (was owner drunk when he did that), rice-y stance, and an unnecessary spoiler.

While true, modified Corsas reek of teenagers just passed their test. Not a good look.

This oen is not oevrdone either.

Body coloured wheels (especially yellow ones) aren't overdone? Ok then.

 

[LivingWithGames]

If yellow is an awful paint color, I say that's bullcrap. Overrated wheels can look good too and you think that's bad? Good joke. I agree teh wheels shouldn't eb yellow at least but if was black I'd drive it myself.

Now, if you guys are triggered by this car, let's stop talking about it. No more drama. I won't talk about it.

 

[R5]

The problem with the wheels isn't that they're overrated or yellow (although the second one is a massive problem) it's that they really don't suit a Corsa no matter what colour they are.

Yellow looks good on some cars and awful on others. It looks awful on a Corsa, but good on these:

 

[TexRex]

Stanced cars can look good too.

I disagree that vehicles commonly referred to as "stanced" can look good--it's not an aesthetic that appeals to me in the least--but what really incited the rolling of my eyes, my own physical reaction and the smiley used to convey said reaction, was the use of the word. All functional road vehicles have stance by virtue of the necessary components being installed in the appropriate order.

Great argument, solid logic

 

[LivingWithGames]

I jsut don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm tired. You don't want the moderators to be on our asses?

Now, c'mon, let's try to find more proper cars.
