What car would you not be temtped to mod?
 
I have been thinking that at some point I need to get a beater that I am not tempted to mess with. Something with a warranty would be nice.

I got the Jeep and it is great. With my short commute to work, gas lasts weeks and it goes nice down the highway when I take trips. The problem is that I see all kinds of toys for it and I am tempted to mess with it more than just the little bit I originally planned.

I know I will never have a car that stays 100% stock and original, but I am pondering looking for something that I can rely on and somewhat fun/comfortable to drive, but not overly tempting to mob a lot

Nearly any hundai other than the genesis I suppose.

Crown Vic/Gr. Marquis. After your done laughing listen. Full frame, V-8, 6 Passenger, easy and cheap to maintain, and reliable. Not only that but we get a real 26+mpgs on the highway, and it is fun to drive. Yes I said a Grand Marquis is fun to drive. Other than a dual exhaust and mabye a CAI your done, besides it's a ford, they aren't fast no matter what.

I was thinking about putting duals on it but it's so quiet I'd hate to ruin that part of the car.

Look for another Alero...your's was fun before the d-bag decided to use it as a speed-reduction device.

Both sell over 100k units a year, more then I can say about a certain grouping of cars from GM over the last few years of thier existance....

Closer to what you want to look to, family sedans or things that are more common place.

Aztek, while not the greatest looking car (I personally dont think its that bad) is a solid vehicle, 3400 withstanding...

Frosty 04-11-2009 09:43 PM

How about a LO3 Fbody? No one should be modding them. :rofl:

Icemansghost 04-11-2009 09:48 PM

I was talking about the design of the cars...I mean c'mon. I'd like to know the number of them they sell just to the public(I'm assuming 100+K is including commercial use), because I don't see how any normal person would go out and throw down their hard earned money for a glorified station wagon.
