Difficult Choices for new car

So many tough choices out there ... I am considering several options for a new car, and have settled on the following alternatives:
1. Acura TSX w/ nav
2. Bentley Continental GT
3. BMW Z8 Alpina w/ undercarriage neon and Sprewells
4. mid 80s Yugo in pea green w/ a little rust, 165K miles, torn seats
5. Hummer H2 with big honking brush guard, extra lights, gold trim, red

They all seem the same to me; I can't decide. I really like the looks of the Yugo, and the practicality. The economy of the Hummer is a benefit, as well as the "caring" social statement it makes. The Bentley would be great for fishing trips to the mountains, huntin' and mud bogs. The BMW appeals to the urbane sophisticate I inagine myself to be; it's kewl. The Acura? Isn't that made by Kia or another one of those Malaysian companies? I hear the rotary engine in it is bad!

Has anyone fit a brushguard to the TSX yet? And, a 12" lift kit would get me some ground clearance. How 'bout a winch for gittin' my ATV out'n them ditches?

God, I'm bored ...

Actually, most times when I get up in the morning and look at the goof-ass in the mirror, I am prompted to say "WTF" too. At least maybe in a month or so that goof-ass in the mirror will be one with a nice shiny TSX added to the stable.

I've been thinking about a TSX brushguard, too. I bet it can also be designed to act as a spoiler.

It's probably not that far fetched in Australia where you'll see brushguards on just about any kind of car.

Great post.....I have been trying to get my hands on a Yugo as well, but no luck. I was in Mexico last week and sadly could only locate some Geos and Datsuns...

This is still one of my favorite wacky threads...https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ight=TSX+Hated
