Girlfriend wants a car LIKE the maverick . . .

Anything painted pink.

 

.......................

 

I don't think she is too much into the maverick thing. She loves those little european deals. I think an old 6 cyl mav would be awesome for her. What about those mini coopers?

 

I'm thinking pinto, why not? gorgous car. . . to me at least. Buy a cheap one and have Bryant fix it up (muahahahah)

 

my first car was a pinto. it was a love hate relation ship. its actually what got me into being a mechanic. the car aways had oil leaks, and those leaks always caused other problems. i could change the timeing belt in 20 min. i cut that car up in the end threw it away in a dumpster. so i defintly know pintos but wouldnt recomend one.

the mini cooper is a cool car. check out a bmw 2002. that not the year its a model. sounds like it would be right up her alley. you could look an mgs also. if shes looking for small and cute. consider a miata. they are fun to drive, just not fun to be seen driving. they handle really well and get great milage.

 

Mercury Capri (in the ford family!)


Opel GT


Toyota Celica


Datsun 240z or 260z

 

I'm with Sierra Grabber and sam03rc, a 64-68 Mustang coupe or convertible. Fun, economical, and a good investment

 

the datsun and opel are cool

 

Ever notice how those 75-77 Celica's are an almost perfect mix of Mustang and Maverick?

How 'bout a tubbed Lada.

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one who saw that ... add a 70 Torino grille and headlights to the mix, and I think it about wraps it all up.

While MGs and Triumphs fit the image of what she might be after, with regard to anything British from that time period, I am going to have to say .... run away! It was hard to keep them running and not leaking when they were new. They used natural rubber for most of the seals back then and in a hotter climate, they just crumble.

I had a 76 Jaguar XJ12L ... my happiest day with that POS was the day that my ex demanded it in her part of the divorce settlement, and I got to keep the other two cars ... Win/Win!!! ... whoo-hoo!

Why were the British never a big force in the computer revolution ?...
because they never could figure out how to make them leak all over the floor ...

I am leaning toward Indyman's choices ... well thought-out! I also think that if you got her near a 6 cylinder Grabber in a super-bright color like the one Bryant posted, it might change her mind. It is likely that her only experiences have been with your car and it's hot rod temperment.

 

Yes the Mercury Capri!....now THAT CAR IS SEXY!

 

VEGA. That's a Chevy Maverick...Those older Celicas remind me of miniature Challengers.

 

Thunderbird !

For the ultimate womans car I bought one of these for my wife ( I think it's pretty cool too)
