Cool because racecar engine.

SUB-FT86 · 10-25-2013, 08:17 PM

I never liked the look of this car one bit. Too boxy for me.

I like these. I think they're uncool. Everyone benchmarks the e30 M3 as the pinnacle of driving. As a result, I see a lot of these being driven by people who want to be seen driving the pinnacle of driving moreso than those who want to EXPERIENCE the same. I approach e30 M3 owners warily.

I agree entirely but I've started judging cars more on the machine than the man who owns it.

Every car model has at least one owner you'd never want to associate with, why would a horde of them stop you from appreciating something.

Cool because I like boxes.

Sub-zero as the leading example of an M3.

bestwheelbase · 10-28-2013, 07:53 PM

Sub-effin-zero. And not because of hype. Because they're just good drivers.

This needs a proper picture:

If I or someone suggest that car I'm not giving any option other than SZ

My personal suggestion for next Cool Wall vote is Lancia Stratos, as the IS-F suggestion...well, there's already an IS-F thread!
