ferrari_chrisThe '42 is a 'split window' Beetle.
Those are worth mega-bucks in any condition - certainly not the $130 you claim you paid...
💡 Where'd that 'Ludicrous Claim' thread get to?
dude it's probably a rust bucket that barely runs:tup: 👍 👎

LucaMine isn't (1993 Saturn SL with 1.9L 85 hp SOHC engine!). And I am glad it isn't. Maybe if there was car damage in the game I would want it to be in, so I could bash it into things. Oh and I'd have to buy an exhaust upgrade to represent the fact that the muffler is gone.
However, my brother's car IS in the game! Very close, at least. He has a 1990 Toyota Supra with the 7M-GTE engine (3.0L turbo I6). Very similar to the 1988 Supra in the game, although my brother's is white and the '88 is only available in black. There is a 1990 Supra in the game, but it uses the 1JZ-GTE engine which is 2.5L and has twin turbos. The Mk. III Supra is a very heavy car, but it's really fun to drive. I've driven it on a couple of occasions and it really launches you back in your seat if you put the pedal down. His Supra also has an HKS air filter and an aftermarket exhaust, which adds quite a lot of power (turbo cars greatly benefit from opening up the exhaust system).
My dad also has a restored 1968 VW Beetle, which I guess is somewhat similar to the Beetle in the game.
Pink_the_FloydSerious? You got one?!
Gotta love those!

Heh, the feeling's mutual. With Alpine posting so much I was starting to get the impression that everyone here is a 12 year old on Ritalin, but I guess it's mostly just him.Wolfe2x7Welcome to GTPlanet, Luca! I must admit, it's refreshing to see a new member who actually knows what they're talking about.👍
Which is also how I felt when I had to drive it up hills; it had no passing power, even downshifting was a joke in that car, it just made more noise. It turns out it had a transmission problem, a valve body failure, and needed an alternator in the space of 6 months. My wife and I were glad to get rid of it.LucaMine isn't (1993 Saturn SL with 1.9L 85 hp SOHC engine!). And I am glad it isn't.

Three of the cars you mention, you don't own. The one car you do own isn't in the game.ÄŁPĨЙΣ
Second car, actually. My first was a 1991 Corolla. It was much, much better. The turning circle was small (unlike the Saturn) and it was just peppy enough for daily driving. And it just felt right. Sadly, it died a few months ago (at around 200,000 miles). The Saturn I inherited from my grandmother. She no longer has a license anymore so I got the car on the condition that I have to drive her to the grocery store once a week.PupikWhich is also how I felt when I had to drive it up hills; it had no passing power, even downshifting was a joke in that car, it just made more noise.

I'm guessing it's a first car, many of us started out with underpowered machinery. But it teaches you the basics, it's cheap to insure (although SLs aren't really since they're easy to steal/joyride), not to mention, the plastic panels are a great idea when first driving, or in a parking in a neighborhood where others are learning.
ÄŁPĨЙΣ needs a ban. He's definitely a "post and run" kind of guy, or rather, a "post and post" kind of guy. Rather than reading anything, he just posts and then posts again and then posts again. I wonder if he even realizes that everyone hates his worthless participation or if he just continues to post without reading, oblivious.DukeThree of the cars you mention, you don't own.

Are you planning on getting remotely near the point of this thread any time soon? Sheesh. One would think that a question like Is your car in GT4? isn't that hard to understand, but apparently one would be wrong.

Yeah, I'm a moderator at another message board and it's frowned upon there too. It was just surprising how many warnings ALPINE has gotten from the mods without any action. I guess I'm a bit more strict in situations like this. But you're right, it's not my place to be telling the mods what to do.Wolfe2x7I'd hate to see you get some negative attention from the mods, so I just want to let you know -- suggesting or demanding that threads be closed or members be banned is something that isn't exactly smiled upon here at GTPlanet.
I have a feeling that with ALPINE's post history and current situation, your suggestion won't be that big of a deal, but consider this friendly advice for future reference.![]()
The moderators here at GTPlanet are very competent and very effective. If you want to report something, just use the "report" button at the bottom of every post, and let the mods take care of it. 👍
Please do use the Report button any time you see something problematic.LucaYeah, I'm a moderator at another message board and it's frowned upon there too.
