help for my new fanfic

[Amethyst]

yep I'm writng again ^^ just can't stay away from my quill * chews on it*

ok so my new fanfic is horror, again, but this time ghosts ^^
and I'm gonna be needed help with some stuff so i need to know...

+ the main character is geeky so I need a odd looking car model or one thats looked down upon. maybe from the same era as Muscle cars? the story's not set then but it'll help later...

+ muscle car models or cars you think would "hang round" with them

+ and information on Snotrod( yes he's in my fan fic and don't worry he shall not be harmed). ok could Snotters drive with the supercharger and normal sized back wheels? I keep thinking he would be top heavy or something

[JustJones]

Well, at the moment, all I can think of for an odd car is this:



A Reliant Robin - what could be more aesthetically unpleasing than just three wheels?

I know, it's got absolutely nothing to do with muscle cars, and I've got no idea of any kind of model that would want to even be in the same breathing space with a three-wheeler, but meh, I gave it a shot.

Look forward to your story, anyways

[Amethyst]

hmmmm kinda wanting four wheels lol. and I love robbies!

I might use those cars that disabled people have. they look different

[Tracker89]

Isn't that the car that always gets flipped over or damaged in Mr. Bean? Heh...poor thing.

Another car I thought of is the Volkswagen "Thing", which is pretty much a metal crate on wheels:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VW_Thing

Of course, it's a bit hard to make a car originally designed for military use seem "geeky".

[Amethyst]

I thought I recognised it to from Mr Bean. I loved his little lime green mini ^^

[Tracker89]

After doing a bit of research, I found out that the car in Mr. Bean is a Reliant Regal, not a Robin.

And Mr. Bean's Mini is yellow, although I could see how someone could mistake it for being green:

#1 Geeky Car of the '50s:
The Edsel

The '70s:
Volkswagen Rabbit
Anything with woodgrain panels, AKA a "grocery gittir", like a Vista Cruiser (1964-1977; Eric drove one on That 70s Show)
Ford Fairmont (my husband's folks had one in the '70s)
truckars -- car/truck crossovers (El Caminos, Caballeros, Rancheros, etc.)
Ford Pinto

And the '80s: (maybe a little too late for your fic's timeline)
Pacer
Reliant K
Chevy Citation (1980-85, my grandparents had one)

Check Wikipedia for pics of each. Your fanfic sounds unique and I can't wait to read it.

By the way, what happened to your "Fear the Fury" fic? Sort of original having a Cars fanfic where the characters travel to the human world without turning into humans...

I'm kinda leaving this fanfic idea but the Pacer would make a nice OC ^.^ a little metal head geek car

[adrian]

Nissan Sunny. not the hatchback GT chav version, the 1.4 litre granny-wagon version.
Any Daewoo or Kia
Lada - again, any. a Skoda Rapide(sp?) an Austin Allegro? Bedford Minivan?

and it's Mogwais that're cute.

and Mr Bean's mini IS green. if Wiki says it's yellow, wiki's wrong. it is possible yaknow.

as for muscle cars... Mustang, Cobra, Plymouth Hemi, Charger, Challenger... how bout the earlier model Vettes? and you could go with something newer, and if you fancid a brit, there's TVRs or the old Rover SD-1 or Vittesse V8s. or... hmmm. maybe an old model Celica?

ooh. for a nerdy car... an 80s Civic. or maybe a Daihatsu...? there's the.. what is it now. little pickup. daihatsu... grrf. it's ften in Gran Turismo. anyways... theres some ideas for you o throw around in that nogin o'yours, i gotsta off for the day. hope you had a nice christmas btw.
