The typhoon would de-value... the $68,800 in cash wouldn't... why would you take the typhoon if you were only going to sell it?

Can I just take the cash? I haven't got to 80,000 km in my EL yet so I don't need another car. And I don't like Orange Pekoe tea!!!!!!

As most of you wont know the ea in question is my car.
In the pics we were both reversing out of car parks at the time and thats why the cars arent sitting straight in the shots.
I know my car dont look the best but that pic was taken the day after the white bonnet was put on it from when i run up the rear end of a Honda CRV and this was thread was done purely as fun.
I dont care how many of you think my EA is crap. The difference is I own it and it will be painted as soon as i can do it.

I'll take the F6 and the 200 bucks thanks (guessing about 1500 km worth of petrol, maybe less with a heavy foot).
Why? Coz I'm young and stupid. :

I would go the F6 for sure, you would have to put the 60k into the EA to make it go and look half as good as the phoon

Yeah, it is a gag thread. Both of the pics were taken on the Wide Bay Cruise. When the 2 cars were parked side by side, we couldn't resist the jokes about evolution and such. I voted for the EA cause I just sold one and am unhappy that I now only own 2. And yeah, I am curious who would spend 38k on an au. I'd buy a really nice second hand BA for that.

Cool. I'm in one of those photos. The bogan in the ugly green EL :disco:

Also, the photo of the phoon looks neat with the rays of sunshine. The EA doesn't have sunshine, but it does have spirit, it's a champion car for what it is.

I thought it was great that it was brought up again! I really like the thread. Pretty funny. I still reckon I'd flog the EA around and buy a house, although I did enjoy the drives in the phoon!
