Cars I Would Remove From Existence

08/29/2017 at 21:21 • Filed to: Burn them all, torq thrusts are the worst

All N-body Grand Ams

And... its sucessor the G6:

All first gen Hyundai Tiburons

Screw it, all Hyundais. Kia makes better looking cars and Genesis is its own brand now.

Second gen Camry Solaras (why is this even a thing)

All post 1999 Eclipses:

Hotter takes.

1977-78 Firebirds (I don’t care if they’re Bandit cars, they’re ugly abominations)

1969 Chargers (I’ll allow them if converted to 68 or 70 front ends)

Bonus round:

Anything with chrome torq thrusts or their clones:

If I ever hosted a car show I wouldn’t allow anything with torq thrusts in. That would be the only rule.

I love the bandit cars but +10000000 on everything else.

I agree with basically all of this, especially the Hyundais and the chrome Torque Thrusts...its like saying ‘hey, I want to make this expensive muscle car look like cheap Pep Boys garbage.’

Agreed although I do find the 1st gen Tiburon cute in an ugly way.

FUCK YOU :p

The 77-78 Firebird/TA is awesome!!!! The 78 is better than the 77 since it has the bigger Fisher T-tops

Now, the 79-81 is the fugly abomination. It was supposed to have pop-up headlights, but didn’t, so it looks cheezy as fuck

Firebirds do suck, Trans Ams are where it’s at.

Phew, my Thrust Ds get a pass. I’m not a fan of any fully chrome wheel.

I’m on board with the torq thrust hate, but I don’t really mind the Bandits, Hyundais, or Solara(!).

I’ll give the tiburon props for being different. It’s ugly as sin—obviously—but at least it isn’t a mid 2000's Camry.

Hot take: Harley’s should all dissappear. Insanely overpriced relics that just serve as a billboard to the other baby boomers who’ve yet to get into the “Harley lifestyle”. Oh, I’m sorry, you spent HOW MUCH on that “rad” Harley branded leather body suit with matching Skull bandana and leather bracelets? Kill it with fire

Hotter take: If you want old school, Triumph is a better choice in every meaningful way, from looks to comfort to performance

Both right and wrong, Trans Ams are great but peak Firebird is still the 1970 Formula:

You should drive one, they bring new meaning to the terms; lifeless, and soul-sucking. No really, though. I love my car, but it is boring, it’s a quick car, very, very composed. With the super sticky dunlops I had on it earlier in the summer it would (on a curvy road) run from anything other than a dedicated sports car, it’s that grounded (I know, I know, grounded to the ground joke). How it manages to pull off those kinds of cornering speeds and still be a sanitary, detached experience, is beyond me. Only Toyota can make a car that boring.

I don’t disagree with any of this.

Odd aside: I thought the 4th-gen Eclipse was pretty good, especially relative to the 3rd-gen. Super rough sporty ride, but really decent handling. Still, 2nd-gen Eclipse is best Eclipse.

I don’t think you have to worry about any Grand Am. Time (and road salt) has eliminated all but the last of these.

Are there even any N-Body’s left? I can’t remember the last time I saw one. The ‘92-95's were the absolute worst. By 2000 they had already almost completely fallen apart.

I can only hope that they’ve all already returned to the earth.

I had a ‘84 Monte with those wheels. It’s the only vehicle I regret getting rid of.

I’m fine with all of this except the 77-78 Firebird and the 4-eyed Tibourn. Always liked it for some reason.

I live in a state with no annual inspection, and they are everywhere, rusty, beat up, and owned by either teenagers, or crack heads, but they are around that’s for sure.

I remember once like 6-7 years ago I decided to found how maybe Grand Ams I saw that day. 17, seventeen last gen Grand Ams in one hour in a town of 8500. And they weren’t duplicates either. And that’s not even counting the Aleros, and what ever the Buick was called.

N-Body Grand Ams are fantastic seat donors for late model Corvairs, just in case cletus44 aka Clayton Seams is listening....

rented an n body once and couldn’t wait to get back in my escort, the seat would be a great addition to a torture chamber
