Why is your car the best car in Oppositelock? Drop a photo and a description of your ride. I will grade it, you may then appeal the ruling with more evidence. At the end of the judging I will award the winner with something special.

The only rule is that PT Cruisers will not win.

I doubt I'm gonna win, but here we go.

Presenting the Murdersofa. Named such by passengers I've had during Autocrosses, due to the soft suspension cushioning your supple buttocks and simultaneously allowing for absolutely insane amounts of body roll.

As far as mods it has a Buick L36 3800 Series II engine with a ZZP 1.0 PCM, enormous K&N intake (mostly as a joke), and a 2.5" exhaust system with nothing but a cat and glasspack on it. It's been painted matte black with PastiDip (rattlecans), the interior lighting has been replaced with red LEDs because why not, and the rear ride height sensor has been modified to force the car to fully inflate the rear air shocks to stiffen up the rear for EPIC SKIDZ N' OVERSTEER, YO!

And it has 222,000 miles and still goes strong.

Skoda estate. Exceptional comfort, build quality, refinement, limousine size rear legroom and massive boot space, three power outlets (centre console, rear console and boot), silent 1.4TSi engine, umbrella holder in door, removable magnetised torch, etc...

My 1968 Chevy Camaro SS/RS

What makes it the most awesome:

It's my first car ever, my grandpa found it when I was 8 and we restored it together doing everything ourselves but spraying the color. I learned how to drive a stick in this car. That's my personal connection to the car but its awesome even without being my first car.

This Camaro is 1 of 14-16 cars today. It's a L30/M20 Camaro or if you ask some big Camaro guys , the "Phantom SS" Camaros . See in 1967 and 68 the smallest engine offered in a SS was a 350ci motor along with that you got a 12 bolt rear end(std was 10) multi leaf rear springs (std was mono) a front sway bar, and different springs and shocks.

If you went to your dealer though and ordered a Camaro with the L30 engine, a 275hp 327 ci V8 and the M20 4 speed manual transmission then for some reason the line would stick all the SS specific suspension in these cars.

These cars were unkown to really the early 2000s. So few are around because nobody knew they existed.

My 68 still is all #s matching and still has all the original parts on the suspension. The car only has 36,000 original miles but has been wrecked once. It's a very option loaded car featuring, Power Steering, Power Brakes, deluxe interior, tilt column, wood wheel, factory spoilers, console with gauges, rear window defogger, deluxe seat belts, remote side mirror, RS style group, exterior trim package, tic-toc-tach, and glove box light.

It's a fun car to drive and open up on the backroads.

Lol I'm not gonna win, but whatever.

1994 GMC Safari XT

Featuring 4.3 liters of American freedom making 190 lazy horses thanks to the optional CPI system.

Gold pinstripes, faded and peeled paint, and a back seat that turns into a bed.

A row of mood lights running down each side of the interior for optimal shaggin' mood.

RWD, 190 horsepower, 4-speed GM auto; It's basically a more practical E36 328i!

Commonly called the shitbox, crapcan, and by my girlfriend: the breadbox.

20 years, 145,000 miles and still going strong-ish.

CA Coalminer has a 12C, 2 Ford GT's, and I think a couple other things as well as having previously owned a couple hardcore Porsche's (GT3's and the like, if I'm not mistaken). That's probably who you're thinking of.

Forgot to add the description and now it's too late to edit. So, extra post.

Ford Ranger desert race truck, built by Bunderson Racing in Las Vegas, NV. Powered by a 350(?) hp V6 race motor that runs on race gas and can suck money out of my wallet faster than a shop vac. Shocks are 3" diameter Fox quad bypass reservoir shocks personally set up and tuned by Tommy Morris, the man who designed Ironman Ivan Stewart's ridiculously dominant trophy truck (Tommy was also one of the chief engineers for PPI when they competed in Indy Car). Digital dash, 35 inch BF Goodrich Baja T/A tires, bed-mounted transmission cooler, four KC 8" HID lights on a removable roof-mount light bar with quick disconnect, 40 gallon fuel cell, rear limited slip differential, full chromoly roll cage, long range 2-way radio, intercom, weighs in at 3,900 lbs dry, has an 80% win rate in the Best In The Desert 7300 class.
