ok for true pimpness you need a late 80s Olds Cutlass Supreme (or Brougham). it needs to be bright purple with gold trip. also make sure to get gold wheels that stick out well beyond the fender wells. the inside needs to be crushed velvet and very plush feeling. also make sure to get a couple crown air fresheners for the back window. or you can do the same think with a late 80s cougar.

oh wait...you didnt actually want him to look like a pimp?!? just something to pick up ladies in huh?

well im a big fan of the 1998 turbo toyota supras
or a brand new toyota MR2 Spyder comes in under 30G

subaru wrx - sweet car, chicks dig it
ford mustang - girls dig those too
mitsubishi 3000GT - great looks, too bad mitsubishi engines suck

or a brand new jeep wrangler. soooo many girls i know go nuts for guys driving jeep wranglers with the top off on sunny afternoons.

dang im jealous, wish my parents could have bought me a new car as a graduation present.

wow, this is tougher than it should be. hmmmmm... i've always like corrado's... but youre budget's really a level or two up from even the nicest one of those... the wrx is an awesome car... i don't know how pimp though... mabye a golf gti with a body kit and some mags? i'll definatly second the wrx motion... those are wicked cars... mid 90's 3 and 5 series bmw's can be very pimp with mags and a bit of lowering... same applies to benz... although those are sorta flash and scream DRUG DEALER.... but there still very nice cars... the ls300 is awesome too... not too flashy but very still a luxury car...audi's are good too... although that's already been mentioned... i really liked that dudes idea of a car and motorcycle... i mean... why not get the guy a nice gti and a sweet bike... that's alot pimper than one slightly nicer car...

What about a 2002 Black WS6 Trans Am with the 1LE handling package and T tops? sure to be an eye catcher, and a mustang beater :)

<< Mustang Cobra maybe? >>


nope... something newer. and won't require a lot of repairs....

depends where he is.... pimpness is relative to the bitches that get pimped
>>



Um, 2001 Cobra then?

You do know they only started making it in 93, and have continuosly produced it since then (except for 2000)?

if i remember correctly, sivlias were never imported to the states. here its a 240SX and you cant get them with the turbo. you may be able to buy the turbo engine aftermarket. so if you want a true silvia youll be driving on the opposite side of the car. if thats the case you might as well buy a nissan skyline as its faster and has more aftermarket parts options. plus it looks awesome.

or a nice early 60s corvette would be real cool :)

Hayabusarider you've got a pretty damned sweet ride yourself!


<< JDM spec S14 Silvia >>

that's one mean car, i absolutely love it! i wouldn't say pimp, but a definite crowd pleaser, to bad they never used that engine here in the states.



<< my idea of auto pimpness >>

wow :Q:confused::Q:confused::Q i can't begin to say how pimp that car is, i would take that car over anything else made today. there's no comparing a rolls/benz/jag/ bmw to a classic car, you just can't. i plan on one day owning a '59 caddy and a '68 camaro among other classics, although it's a bit odd for an asian (korean here) to drive those around. whatever, it sure as hell would be better than my integra (high school/jc rice days) :D

yeah, they brought the body over but not the engine. the engine alone is going for $7K+ used.

Actually thats pretty pimpness.

BTW to all you guys reccomending the Rally type cars... WTF? a Girl looks ata Subaru and laughs at your a$$. Thats a grocery getter car brand.

Not many women look under the hood or care how fast your fuggin car can take a turn... buuuut you guys already knew that riiiiight ;) :Q

If you want a pimpness car you either need
A: CLASSIC
B: Porsche which is out of the price range
C: Viper or any exotic... See B

I'd second the Mustang Cobra. Spend a little extra cash and get it repainted with color changing paint to make it truely pimp.

As Far as Brand New Goes.... for 30k get a subaru WRX & have after market headlights put on it (the ones with the little lights) that look pimp, than you have a sweet looking & even better driveing machine...

As Far as Used.... a Supra TT Targe edition would be very pimp... here is an automatic & here is a non targa with a 6 speed manual...

Actually No I am Not Vanilla Ice, & Nor do I want to be, However I am Not the typical ATOTer... I Have a steady GF

As Far as the WRX & The Supra's go, Pimp to Females they are.... All You Gotta do is show the ladies that the car can go fast & Than it's all good.....

Lexus GS400

1. Sporty with a spoiler.
2. Luxurious
3. Good sound system.
4. 300 HP V-8 = Fastest luxury car besides BMW M5 and maybe the new Infiniti Q45
5. Great handling, test drove one myself

Tint this s.o.b. and you got the mofo pimp ride.
