Will things like sports cars that look cool now look weird in 10, 20 or 30 years?

Simeon

I mean, I think that sports cars now look pretty awesome, and even some cars from the 80's, but most of them look robotic and silly, however other things, like buildings, are still cool regardless of how old they are. So, what do you think?

Answer
sports cars typically age very well. they are subject to more than average adoration even by people who never owned them and that makes them unique. look at older muscle cars and classic ferraris and porsches. sure they look dated but they still look good. i think that the weirdest thing about sportscars of now in 30 years is that they are going to run on gas. I think that by 30 years most if not all cars will be electric so a gasoline engine will be very strange.
lastly, while some beauty is relative to its surroundings (girls in your own high school may seem hot but when you go somewhere else the girls are much hotter)
true beauty is timeless and requires no comparisons. the proportions and symmetry that we as humans find attractive are widely used in car design and will continue to be used. no matter what we're looking at in comparison, a beautiful car will always be beautiful.

Sports Car?!?!?!??!?!!?!?!?!?

sam m

i get my license in march and i want to know which car i should get. im thinking about getting a mustang GT but i heard it takes up TOO much gas. i heard about a mitsubishi 3000GT but i don't know how to drive manual, i know how to drive automatic lol doesnt everybody well anyways so thats a manual and please give me some suggestions and gimme like a picture OH and i want something from like 2000-2006 but not the 90's also i want something AFFORDABLE!!

please and thank you :D

Answer
So why don't you get a 3000GT? They're not all manuals, you know.

I own three of them. Two autos, one manual.

Except, you want something from the 2000's, so the 3000gt is out the window anyway, since they stopped that in 1999.

As far as what car you should get? Get whatever YOU want. It's your car. Your money. Your license. Don't get what other people suggest to you. Get on Google, do some research, and buy what you want.

what are some pros and cons for owning a sports car and or a truck?

By sports car I mean a challenger srt8 and a truck an F250. I love to hunt and fish. I like living out in the country back in the woods. I enjoy looking at big trucks and watching them do a pull competition to see who can pull the most weight i also like mud riding and off road trail riding. I enjoy looking at sports cars and tuning them up to make them faster and listening to the roaring of the engines. Which would suit me better and what are some pros and cons?

Answer
I had a Nissan 350Z and a Ford F250 4x4 at the same time. Z car was fun to drive, fast, fuel efficient but noisy on the highway. No good for back roads, pot holes, mudding, or hunting. Ground clearance was zero. F250 is diesel, not fuel efficient, will go about anywhere you want. Quieter on the highway than the Z car but not as much fun to drive. I sold the Z car and bought a Jaguar XJR. Now that's a sports car, quiet, fuel efficient, will outrun the Z car hands down (supercharged v8) , and oh so comfortable to drive. Mine is a 2005. List price was $82 k but i bought it for less than you will spend on the challenger new by a long shot. No comparison in quality of car and with a Jag, you will be one of a few instead of one of many. As far as a truck, I would consider the new Ford F series CNG/LNG coming out soon. You can fuel it (natural gas) for about half the price of diesel or gasoline. It will burn n gas or gasoline. Just remember, a sports car will take you someplaces but a truck will take you just about anywhere you want to go. If you can't have both like me, go for the truck!

Is a Scion tc considered a sports car by insurance companies?

_

I'm getting a new car. I have a Land Rover Discovery and its a piece of crap and drinks a lot of gas. I was going to get a Mazda RX8, I love them. My family has 3 of them, but my dad said no because the insurance would be high because its a sports car. Is a 2008 Scion tc considered a sports car by insurance companies? I am a 19 year old female by the way, if that matters. Thanks for any answers!

Answer
Yes.

The Scion tC is a sport compact manufactured by Toyota and sold under their Scion division in North America, introduced in the United States in June 2004 and 2010 for Canada. The name tC does not fit in with its stablemates, the xA, xB and xD, because the xC name designation is used by Volvo Cars for their lineup of sport utility vehicles. According to Scion, tC stands for touring coupe

Of course, coupe = two door, and to insurance in most cases, unless it's a pickup truck, 2 doors = sports car.

So, 2 door, and the manufacturer says it is a sports car.

Do I still have plenty of time to get an 8-cylinder sports car and get a good deal on it?

sports cars good on gas image

Q. Unfortunately, it's looking like SUVs and sports cars and other vehicles with guzzle gas are going to stop being made and no one's gonna buy them anymore. I would much rather have an 8-cylinder like a Camaro Z28 or a Firebird TransAM. Everyone else might be switching to tiny, unsafe, wimpy Hybrid cars that can't take a hit in a collison and take all day to go from 0 to 60.
I wouldn't wanna be caught dead in one of those degrading, ugly vehicles that I find to be a joke. I would much have that 300+ HP from a Firebird or a Camaro. They look more cool, are much faster, and are a little safer in case of an accident.



I hope the decreased sales will mean lower prices, not the other way around.

Answer
There will always be room for the 8cylinder car. the same motors your granddad worked on are still on the road in one version or another. To really save you some dough, look for an older (late 80's early 90's) monte carlo, or buick regal, buy a crate v8 (350s are a dime a dozen) drop it in, put some good shocks on and have ahoot. The F bodies( camaro firebird bodies) and Mustangs will always have a higher demand so think a little outside the norms.

What are other sports cars/coupes that are along the lines of a mustang?

i messed u

Maybe i can clarify better here: I would like something that looks very nice (I love the way coupes look and most sports cars are coupes so..). I love the way the 99-04 mustangs look so right now thats my leader. Alot of my friends have camaros which are cheap but i personally don't like them. But i want to know what some other options are.

Answer
if you have money, want speed, and dont care for looks, go for a honda. if you're for looks then go for a 3.8 mustang from 99-04. then mod it. itll be lighter than the 4.6's and can move pretty well. if you want the v8, itll be heavier, but it WILL move a lot more with mods, but gas will kill your wallet. the 3.8 camaro is okay, just about the same as the 3.8 mustang. the 8 cylinders, I don't follow as well, I'm a 6 cylinder man. good luck!
