If Id rather the look of a hot rod than my Toyota, then I would have done up a hot rod in the first place.

I think you should change it to old school/muscle instead of hot rods. But most jap cars theres like a million of each, thats why I prefer older cars. Espiecally fords,holdens and vals from down south 8) 8) ..... cant get any cooler than a purple xy falcon V8 sacked on s/s cragars 8) 8)...... shut up dont laugh :twisted: :twisted: :D But then again I do love the feeling like your going to go through the back of your seat in a turbo jappa. :D

depends...

if this was a "what would ya fun car be" and if hotrod included american muscle cars.. then definitly hotrods!

the only reason im playing with toyotas is its all i can afford! if i could it there would be a tricked up mustang in my garage!

as far as style and character go...... old V8s totally own jap cars. by soooo much

but then againb if money wasnt an object theres the 911s and lotus's id want.... and the M3 and and and.... well lets face it. im a Revhead :wink:
