Title: What's going to be/what was your first car?
Post by: Zog on August 08, 2011, 05:55:53 PM

So what do you want your first car to be? You can't be stupid and just say a Ferrari Enzo or something, you have to look at current cars for sale, set yourself a budget (say 10,000), and then look at cars which look good, handle good and suit your tastes. For me, it would have to be this:

This was my first car, a 1991 Pontiac Sunbird:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4487091Sunbird.jpg)
(note: not my actual car; mine was red in color)

I owned this car from October 2003 (when I purchased it for $2,000 from a dealership) until December 2006 when I got my current vehicle, a 1996 Buick Century.

Today, the Sunbird that I owned is a burnt-out shell, as it caught fire... no thanks to my ex sister-in-law cheating on some other dude in Hazard, Kentucky.

Technically, because we have a '93 Fiesta in our garage, I could claim that to be my first car. I've driven it a couple of times. The rides nice, but the handling is actually shocking. Very heavy steering.

I saw one of those on the highway to NY today. The steering wheel was about 60 degrees to the right and the car rather sideways as it went down the road. That old guy must be bribing whoever inspects that car to keep it on the road.

AHAHAHAHAHHAH!





GT5 is definitely NOT the closest racing game to the real life thing.


Try Live For Speed, or Rfactor, or GTR 2, or GTR Evolution or iRacing.
All of these are by far more realistic than GT5.


Granted they may not have all the fancy graphics that GT5 does, but they are by far more realistic in every other aspect.






Anyway, the first car that im getting is this (Not exact car, but same model)

@HB

This is for REALISTIC first cars. Not a Countach. IMO nobody should get a really nice car fo their first car because it is the one they are most likely to wreck.

And check out iRacin for the most realistic (I'm a certified fanboy :gawe:). You have to be 13 though, and its pretty hard. And people hate "chipmunks", which are prepubescent little boys like you spamming the mic chat with your little high pitched voices.

Post by: ashman12 on August 11, 2011, 08:19:07 PM

I don't, not yet anyway. I want to start it, but i want to get my PC and everything sorted first.
You may have seen im saving up for a gaming PC (the one i have the now is a POS) and so that will take up a good £600+ and i also want a new steering wheel (Logitech Formula Force EX is a standard wheel) so i wont have the monies for iRacing for a long time (Unless i get accepted for this little part time job down at my local cafe), and even then it will probably still be about a year or so (im 14 so at my age the pay is rubbish, better than nothing though).

It does look like a great game though, the only real problem i can see is the monthly/yearly pay thing, when other great games such as Live For Speed are a one time fee.

Have you played LFS yet?

Title: Re: What's going to be/what was your first car?
Post by: Somebody on August 11, 2011, 09:19:51 PM

Well iracing can run on crap PCs but it looks pretty crappy. I haven't tried LFS but I have heard good and bad. The game has been good but the Internet is apparently pretty bad compared to iracing (so I've heard) just from lack of regulation and that the netcode isn't as smooth. Iracing is doing the buy one month get 2 free stuff with a code so starting is cheap and you probably won't be buying too much content too quickly. Buuuuut then you get addicted to it and don't want to quit...

@Jonzu, I don't just mean the colour of it i meant the whole thing.


The wheels are horrible (Chrome on a Lime Green car, No Thanks), the body of it is hideous (My opinion), the taillights are ugly (My Opinion) and i can bet that after that guy/girl spent all his money on the appearance of the car there was none left to modify the actual performance of the car so effectively turning the car into a rice-mobile.


Rice-Mobile

Rice Mobile -

A small s****y car with funky colours and tinted windows mostly driven by RiceBoy or Ricers. With no muffler, shiny chrome wheels and a whopping 75 HP this machine can kick out a top speed of 60MPH. If driven too fast, it may break and fall apart in the middle of the highway.

Dude, car doesn't always have to go fast. I think look is the more important.

Don't get me wrong, the look is important too but that was overkill.


To me these...

... is enough for me (Very little body modifications, if any. Nice rims/wheels. etc.)


But, to me, if a car has a lot of bodywork modifications then it should have some performance modifications aswell, that way its not a box with a bunch of plastic stuck onto it.


Anyhow, im not going to argue with it (Trust me you don't want to get in an argument with me about cars (most cars anyway)).

P.S, Hydro, Nice Truck.

Those are wonderful looking cars, I saw one in a classic car convention a couple of months back.

I agree. However, I think 1960s/70s American muscle car styling is slightly better. We all have our tastes though.


Tbh I really want a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T in black as my first car. With a Hemi engine. I don't think that's going to happen though.

I like the SL2 because they actually tried to make it look sleek without making it one of those horrendous bubbles cars in the 90s slowly transitioned into.

I would refer to the 90s more as boxes then bubbles, and sleek=/=good looking in the Saturn's case. It just looks... boring

The styling of the 90's started as boxes and ended as bubbles.

Also, I don't see how it looks boring.  It stands out from the jap cars and their numerous clones in the 90's IMO.

Theres nothing special about it at all. The only thing remotely different is the front, and it doesn't look fast. It doesn't look exciting. It doesn't look fun.

And whats the point of buying any car if you know you aren't going to like it. I would hate that thing if I had one.

What's so special/exciting looking about a bubble on wheels?  It's not exotic or streamline looking, it just looks like every other late 90's bubble on the street.

Also, how do you know I'm not going to like it?  I already told you I like the way it looks, and it's got numbers on par with an Acura Integra from 6 years later.  I don't see what's not to like.

Yeah I pretty much hated that thing.  Still, I do kinda miss it.  Flooring my Moldsmobile is so boring compared to the Camry because the thing is too damn smooth.  When I floored my Camry it slammed my head into the seat and made the most ungodly sound (the thing had a massive exhaust leak).  Even though it never really went all that fast, it was great fun because the thing sounded like it was going to explode.  (http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-v.gif)

Would be, if smooth in this case didn't equal mushy and bad handling.  I took a 90 degree turn today at 30 mph, the thing barely made it around without coming off the road.  Not only that, but the suspension clanged and and made some rather scary sounds.  Not doing that again.

Really? Even when they gave us...oh, I don't know...perhaps the Triumph series, the Jaguar XJ-S, the Rover SD1, the Range Rover, the Mini, the MGB, and the Jaguar XJ6?
And how can people have not heard of the car company Rover? The Rover V8 was the most-used V8 engine in the world, until it finally was stopped in production due to British Leyland having trouble. They are a key British car manufacturer, like Aston Martin, Lotus, or John Cooper Works.

Yes, I do agree about that being an iconic V8; it's surprising how many cars it's been in over the decades. Yes, BL gave us some great cars, but also some s*** ones as well. (I can't tell you what they are; it's not from my era, but the viewpoint of most people is mine)

And then there's the old stereotype of all BL workers spent more time on strike than actually building cars...

You do present a good point, but I, myself, do have interest in any vehicle, regardless of it's country of origin.

Although, it is my opinion that a good percentage of British cars are "wimpy". Not meaning to offend anyone, and my opinion can be swayed.

Yes Noodle, you're right. As far as I know Buick developed it and then didn't like it so threw it into the trash can. Then a guy called Bruce McWilliams (head of Rover in the USA) bought the rights from GM to use it in their Rovers.

We have these magical things called 'Motorways', where we also drive fast, and it has 3 -or even 4- lanes on each side. They're exactly the same as you have. And we sometimes need to prove worth on them, thus we need power sometimes. Otherwise you don't get to use the overtaking lane.

Yeah, that looks like an A-road in Britain. Of course, we don't have roads as smooth as that, because of our local councils. And they aren't as long, because we aren't as big a country.

Nah, it was Holden. We just shipped it over to america and they put a vauxhall badge on it :P

Sir I am disappoint,

They went to europe as Vauxhalls, US got Holden models as Pontiac or Chev's :P

Well, I couldn't exactly remember which went where, only that whenever it was shipped overseas it would get a new badge on it :P

So, yeah, technically my first car is my Singer Chamois, but the first car I'll buy for driving is probably going to be a Ford Fiesta.
