Favorite Quote About a Car

I've forgotten who said it now, but it was in regards to Porsche and went something along the lines of:

You can't make a racehorse out of a pig.

But you can make an awful fast pig...

 

Sounds familiar, Mark Donohue maybe.

 

Ettore Bugatti said "Mr Bentley makes the world's fastest lorries".

Someone once told me "cars are like a block of ice," meaning that they just keep depreciating. I told my grandpa this, who has owned probably 50-60 cars and gets a new one every year, and he said "yea, but they are the nicest blocks of ice I've ever seen." Good point GP

While not any specific car I saw this in my brother profile one day:

Hp determines how fast you hit the wall. Torque determines how far you take the wall with you.


All I could do was nod and smile.

On a smiliar note I saw someone had:

HP sells cars, Torque wins races.


And a last one, this one made my bro(he was being sarcastic):

Big Wings = Big speed!

 

From a mid-90s Car, "The Daihatsu Applause: They might as well have named this car 'The Clap', because it was just as well liked."

Texan number 1: My ranch is so big, you can't even see to the other side of it.

You can sleep in your car, but you can't drive your house.

 

Oversteer is when you see the wall you are about to hit in the rear view mirror, understeer is when you see it through the windshield.

 

from one of the british journalist on why the 288GTO wins over the 959

" It's not how fast you go....It's HOW you go fast "

 

Jeremy Clarkson on the Chrysler Crossfire.

Pointing to the rear of the car "I've been trying to think of what this shape reminds me of and last night it came to me. You know when a dog's doing its number two, that kind of arched back thing, that's what it is. It is. Eww."

"This has to be the worst example of American-German cooperation since a chap called Aldolphus Busch arrived in the states, tasted the water, and thought Mmm I could make beer out of this; and we ended up with that headache in a can called Budweiser."

From the movie "The Fast and the Furious" when Vin Diesel and the cop (Brian) pull up in their Supra to a stoplight with a rich prick and his girl in a 355.

Brian - "Nice car"

Rich guy - "Ferrari. One IPO and we're good to go" (as he revs the engine)

Brian - "How much does it cost for one of those things."

Rich guy - "More than you can afford *******!!"

(Vin Diesel looks over at Brian and says "Smoke him.")

Rich guy then proceeds to get smoked by the Supra. Ouch!!

 

Thomas Friedman uses this line a lot, albeit in a political context:

In the history of the world, nobody has ever washed a rented car!
