[VALIENTE]

Lots of cargo room, Very practical, Priced right = Toyota RAV4 = Grado SR60

Ahh sexy

Now that's a BMW I wouldn't mind owning! I am more of a Mustang fan though, as per my username

Stang, in your unfortunately-lost file, did you have any mustang-equivalents your remember?

The only problem I see with a rusted truck -> bose is that the truck could make a decent hot-rod. (people still pay for real steel, and some rusted-over bodies are salvageable)

I'd agree with the K1000 -> Pagani Zonda, except I think the car is hideous. That's a good picture of it, though. As far as the K1000 -> european supercar metaphor, I'd say you're right on (from what I've heard of both, never having seen one)

Can we compare a kit car to anything? Eg: Headphile -> Lotus 7 (it seems to be an often kit car). You take an amazing looking car body (lotus 7 body with beyerdynamic outside) and you put a really cool driver in it (me -> grado Sr325i). Or one could compare to a specific motor one puts in that vechicle. Unfortunately it's usually an inline four, or sometimes a motorcycle engine, which would probably make the metaphor weaker.

I like this topic, it's exciting!

Zonda hideous!? *Points for you to get out*

That is one of my fav cars

I am no way as good with cars as I used to be when I was about 12 years old, I was obsessed with them. I think the SR-225 compared to a Mustang. Old one of course

The Mustang is old (so is SR-225), powerful, a whole lot of fun, reasonably affordable and a must have in a collection

The grado is efficient and easy to drive though, a Mustang isn't either of those. That was my consensus at the time I believe. As I know little about cars now, because I stopped having a passion for them after I got yelled at for not shutting up about them

The amount I spent on my system,
I could've bought myself a brand new...

Reckon we can safely deduce what Valiente drives

- Grados are renowned for their cargo room.

JH13. Not sure if they would be better off as a sports car (ferrari 599), or high end uber luxury car.

AD700

Mazda Miata

Japanese, work wonderfully with women, low in low-end grunt, and affordable.

 

[manuvajpai]

Another one ^_^

Sony SA5000

Nissan Skyline GTR

Both are technical, fast, Japanese, and ruthless.

 

[David.M]

McLaren F1 (only decent pic i could find

)

DT990

what's there to say?

strong, underrated, under-appreciated, both hold their own against top tier Manufacturers'

with the right driver/fuel, you're gonna have the ride of your life

Most BMW's are not comfortable at al, it's like sitting on a pile of exploding rocks.

HD650 =

BMW M5

OK comfort, great performance, known problems, laid back colour, most popular sports sedan.

It just seems that the HD650 are the most popular mid range headphone.

Well that explains why my auntie prefers her Lexus over her now gone BMW. Both were very, very new and expensive. Bare in mind she is posh, I am not even close
