A bad-ass muscle car with the right owner. It's potential and classic lines is highly underrated. Thanks to Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof", The classic Chevy Nova not only was re-born on this motion picture but also used as a weapon. It's calling- to be resurrected in full glory and strike fear in ricers nationwide. Manufactured in the U.S from 1962-1979, but after 72' safety standards had to do some surgery to it's ass, redesigning the bumpers for reinforcing impact, a hatchback style look. Then getting carried away they changed the grill, the look of the headlight and tail light assembly- Ultimately making it look ugly as fuck and deserves to be called a Nova (no-go in Spanish). Just when the 4th gen. nightmare was over, the movie Gung Ho came true. In 1985-1988, GM and Toyota shook hands thinking they designed something beautiful and re-created the Nova only embarrassing it's predecessor more. The car came off the assembly line looking like a trailer trash's dream car only because Cletus and his Wife Sunshine knew they wouldn't be able to afford one for another 10 or 20 years.

Get the Nova mug.A really nice University with an equally nicely funded student body. Not only is our campus stunning, check out the students. A typical Nova student is white, tan, blonde, rocking Prada sunglasses, a Gucci belt, and Birkenstocks and a polo. Some of the richest kids around the country, even more so around the world. Some of the wealthiest offspring in the world come here to Nova, representing over 90 countries and 50 states. Everyone comes from money, and they make sure you know it, too. Kids drive the most absurd cars, BMW’s, Audi’s, Caddy’s, Mercedes, Bentley’s, Maserati’s, Ferrari’s you name it. Everyone has either a yacht, private jet, a condo or beach house in Deerfield or Palm Beach or another house in Connecticut , New York or some Caribbean Island. Nova life is like living on an exclusive resort or country club. Where else can you sit in a hammock under a palm tree by the side of one of the lakes on campus? A typical day at Nova would consist of waking up so the housekeepers can clean the dorms, go shopping with mommy or daddy’s AMEX, drink an excessive amount of alcohol, and party all night in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas or South Beach.
