It’s the year 1997. working my boring job, day by day i saved enough money and i have decided that i want a car. be it brand new or first hand. i don’t like when a car had many owners. anyway im searching for a fun car that is easy to maintain and isn’t a gas guzzler. A Coupe would be perfect for me
for what i will use the car? i like to spend weekends going somewhere with the car. i fill the trunk with clothes, energy drinks and snacks. and head to visit places i have never been before. sometimes when i want to save money for fuel, i dont go in a hotel, but rather sleep on the back seats.
snow. most people hate snow but i really love it, you can have fun with car without wearing the clutch or the tyres. most people aren’t into cars and won’t understand it

If rephrased in a certain way, the post might have possibly been more constructive, I suppose.
Open disclosure: lordvader actually approached me to help refine and format the rules of the challenge. I don’t know the details of scoring, but I’d like to vluch that this is a genuine attempt to run something decently, so maybe give it a chance.
Weighting Looks generally isn’t a good idea for a challenge, as they are subjective. It only works if you do a public vote to see who’s is liked the most.
I’d disagree, if it’s stated clearly in the rules. It’s realistic, and… don’t we (or at least some of us) design our cars to be appreciated not only by ourselves, but by the others too? And it adds some surprise factor to the challenge, which might be interesting.
The Weighting is fine if it goes by public vote. I wouldn’t think it fine if it wasn’t. If it’s his subjective thoughts, I think it shouldn’t be heavily weighted.
That drivability score… It’s quite high even for what I thought was a front-driver (but is actually RWD). I am now thinking of building another RWD coupe, but would rather focus on sportiness.
Smooth, stylish, quick. The MY87 Slyde is the everyman’s sports coupe. Cheap to run, cheap to own and will be desireable for many years to come, the Bogliq Slyde is the answer you’re looking for… And all this for only $12,720 driveaway!!!
