The MBoard

I really don't know why I'm making this topic but...

My dream car is a DeLorean. I will get one some day!


And Back To The Future is the best movie ever.

I hear it's not really that great a car besides the coolness factor.

As for me, I've never cared much for or about cars.
The only thing I'd dream of is some vehicle with a nice, clean, renewable energy source, or at least a really awesome power source (like cats).

There was an episode of Chuck where one of the characters named Morgan buys a DeLorean that can't go over like 26MPH and rides around in it. He called it the DeMorgan. Yes. I know.

I've never been big on cars.

I mean, if it's nice, clean, reliable, and gets me from point A to point B with no problems... I'm pretty much set.

I'll admit that I'm not a fan of the color green in cars... unless it's JUST the right shade. It's one of the only things I don't prefer in green.

I have a green car, although not by choice.
It's a sort of light, unobtrusive green though. Almost bluish.

A mother #####ing Jeep Hurricane.

Though it's not in production and probably never will be, it's still awesome. And a goddamn demon with wheels.

I'm not a fan of green on cars in real life either, but there's an excellent couple of shades of green for car mods in GTA: San Andreas. Which is good since your gang (Grove Street Families) colour is green (wicked).

They crumple like aluminum foil on... well on anything planted really. The DMC Delorian was an extremely sketchy ride, very unsafe.


As I said in another thread, I'm really into the 70's Corvette Stingray for my car of choice. In black.

Hard-top convertible preferably. Actually if you want to see one that's just what I want it's pretty much the car Chris Tucker drives in the first Rush Hour. So hot. Not sure about what year that one is but it's poifect. Unfortunately they don't make them in automatic and I can't drive stick at the moment.

But I'm really more into motorcycles.

A few months ago I was driving with my mom in the car, and a DeLorean drove by us and we were like WOAH and we followed it to the red light, pulled up beside them, and asked them to open the door. The guy had this expression on his face like "are you serious" and he opened the door up and I was like THAT. IS AWESOME. Seeing it in action fueled the passion of getting one, despite the fact it crushes easily. 

My dream car... is my car!

And here it is on a rainy day.

While that car is so small I feel like getting a can opener, it is somehow more awesome because of that.

What sort of efficiency does it get?

I've filled the tank once in 7 months.

For whatever reason, I really like the Mini types. But they don't look great in North America, it's a far more European thing since streets are smaller and, in the case of England, there's way too many people crammed onto a tiny island. Much like Smart cars (which I don't like).

You know you can get kits for that, right?
Like, you can make the doors open like that on a Honda Civic if you want to.

I'm not sure how much you use it, but that sounds pretty unreal to me.
Then again I'm not sure you have to do as much distance driving where you live.

I didn't know that...hmm
I bet they're expensive.

So are DeLoreans.

DeLoerans are silly! What's the point of having car wings if it can't fly? I don't care if it can travel through time, EVERY magnificent vessel has to be able to fly!

They're not silly! Look at the new one they might be making!

The new one they might be making in 2005?

Have you not seen the end of Back To The Future, or all of Back To The Future 2?

That's a pretty nice looking nail clipper there.

The...new one they SHOULD have made in 2005...

That's a pretty nice looking nail clipper there.

Or VHS rewinder.

I think it kinda looks like a LEGO if you look at it right.

You know, that LEGO bit you use to pry up other LEGO bits, but has no functionality outside of that?

Of course I know that LEGO bit.

It actually makes a pretty decent tongue depressor in a pinch.

AH MY GOD I WANT IT!
It's pretty cheap and has LOW mileage too.

He called it the DeMorgan.

So if either the car is not cool or the driver is not cool, it would be logically equivalent to the negation of 'the car and driver are cool'?

I've watched them all, but it's been so long since.

What, no, th-

... DeMor...

... I see what you did there.

That one was just for you, I'm not even sure if anyone else will understand it.

The whole reason I graduated in the first place was to escape those jokes.

But you did manage to pull that off in degree-winning style.
Good job.

I'll admit defeat on that one, I don't get it. I don't like admitting defeat.

And Mike, that Corvette is sexy. And it takes a lot for me to call a car sexy.

My dad used to have a Corvette. Not like that, though. Now he has a very nice Camaro. He's an engineer and he knows #####ing everything automobile-related. To the point of annoyance, since I don't get that world at all. Like, we'll see a car in a parking lot that he likes and he can list off every individual part and who makes it, all with this impressed and mystified look on his face.

Luckily his second son shared an interest.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeMorgan%27s_Laws <- the basis for the terrible joke.

I want a freakin Maserati Khamsin.

Ever since I saw this beauty I learned all I could about it.  It's a pretty unique little thing.  I will drive one, one day.

I love how the stones and the sky and the branch and pretty much everything is reflected on the car. Looks awesome.
What's that circle on the mirror? Looks like a keyhole or something.

It's nice but I'm not so into those heavy 80's-90's angles.

Realistically, I like the car I have now. A 2003 Toyota Corolla.

Only thing bad is the driver's side door won't open. I gotta go through the passenger's side door and open it from the inside.

But otherwise, I'd want this. Or something like this. I dunno. Maybe a something from Mario Kart.

You get the general idea. Totally unrealistic.

Wouldn't hurt to have a Shagohod either.

EDIT: I apologize. That image was way bigger than it should've been.

Baaatmaaaaaaannn!!!

I hardly ever use it, it still needs a lot of work despite looking lovely.

Some day I'd like to own a Shelby Cobra, or even a replica.

So Euro.

LOOK I GOT OLDSKOOL HEADLIGHT PEAKS.

I am the greatest.

My mini's exterior is almost finished, then the real fun of gutting out the inside begins!

Eyebrows!

Lunche-mobile!

Abe, are you wearing a red baseball cap with a white front?

I've always imagined a kind of vehicle that was like a bike, but with car-like coverings.

Like, it's got the bike parts, except that it has kind of a bug's shell over it that attaches to the sides and has storage space.



Whatever that is, if it exists, it would be interesting.

I'm realizing more and more lately, though, that I'll probably never drive due to my epilepsy.


PS: STREEEEEEEETCH'd thread is stretched.

I just want something practical and fuel-efficient.  Maybe a Pontiac G5 or something.  Idk.

Abe, are you wearing a red baseball cal with a white front?

I don't get it.

I meant Cap.

I still don't think I get it...!

My dream car... is my car!

And here it is on a rainy day.

That... Is a nice car. I wish to own a Mini one day.

Thanks, it brings me great joy, but costs me a lot to tweak.

I think I'm gonna put a poll up about how I should do the interior soon.

Yes.

Abe, I'm just trying to see your reflection in a piece of the car.
Not creepy at all, you're just so damned mysterious.

Y'know, I'd love to own the kind of car Abe has. Dunno why.

Must be my Italian blood.

Don't count on it.
A good quarter of my genetics are Italian, and I couldn't care less about cars, save that they get me from one place to another.

... I do tend to prefer low cars and turn corners at high speeds though.

That's all the Mario Kart.

It's Mario Kart.

I'm the same way.

Wow. Lame.

Eyebrows!

Lashes. They look more like eyelashes to me. Like a lady.

I don't get it.

Someone is reflected in that sweet sheen.

A 1965 Ford Mustang.

My dream car is that Nissan 370z. Love the body the car has.

Did you post that from you phone?

Is there something I should know about since I did.

No, he's just making off topic comments.

IT SEEMS IT'S ALL WE DO NOWADAYS..

Oohhhhhh! Cool beans. Cool beans.

He's saying it because it shows a little 1990's cell phone on posts that posted from mobile phones and he either wasn't sure that's what it did or he thinks it's weird you came to MMM on your cellphone like you can't leave for a day. Either way.

I've recently kind of wanted one of those bootlegger cars. You know the type rednecks tend to drive, like Joy or Earl's car in My Name Is Earl, or like the General Lee. Basically the type of car Will Ferrel's dad drives in Talladega Nights. I don't know what they're called but they're kind of like the one WS just posted. Like old Mustangs and Corvettes and stuff are like that, but I mean the cheaper kind since I've reserved a Stingray for my Corvette mmmm yeah.

They're the only cars you look cool jumping in through the window. Though you can do with any car. I'd want a T-roof on it too, so awesome.

Yeah, the little cell phone thing.
I've only seen one post from a cell phone here before.

Well. Before I can't seem to keep in touch with MMM until I got my BlackBerry (what am using at the moment) and yea, here I am today. A happy lad.

They're the only cars you look cool jumping in through the window.

You could drive through a window in a SMARTCAR and it'd still be cool!

How about a Geo Metro?

Nothing's cool about a Geo Metro unless it's gold.

I only say that because an ex-friend of mine's parents had a gold Geo Metro. It was hilarious. They were so Polish and they just didn't get it.

I'm sure you know I meant getting into the car through the window when the door is closed.

Ha, well I'm pretty sure some MiniCoopers drive through a window or two in The Italian Job remake, and that whole chase scene was awesome.

That is pretty awesome, and I actually think smaller cars look best going THROUGH windows.

But for entering a car through the window hole, it's all about classic American models.

Yeah, I thought you meant driving THROUGH windows. I have to rewatch The Italian Job, I love that movie. I want to see the original because I heard it's completely different and someone told me the ending, which I thought was an amazing and perfect (and clever) way to end a heist movie, so much so that it didn't spoil anything, it only made me want to see it more. For those who don't mind a spoiler:
[spoiler]It ends with a literal cliffhanger, with them in a truck hanging off a cliff. It's balanced by the thieves on one side, and the money on the side that's hanging off the cliff. If they reach for the money, the truck will fall. The end.[/spoiler]

But okay, you're right about hopping into the car through the window.
