Saw somebody out in one today while I was out making my rounds. Probably the last good day of the year and he was taking advantage of it. Sounded good, too. http://st.hotrod.com/uploads/sites/21/2007/08/0709kc_01_z-shell_valley_427_sc_cobra_replica-front_right_view.jpg |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I've been around lots of cars... When hubby wasn't working in aviation he was in the car building / restoration biz. He used to restore vintage cars, and they took cars to vintage races like at Lime Rock Park. Fun stuff Then he work for a guy that built made to order Talbot Lago repos: http://tlccar.com/wp-content/uploads/Talbo8side6.jpg Even when he was in aviation, sometimes he still worked on race crews. Not anymore though... got got got got no time. His boss has a stable of Ferraris and McLarens. I think he just recently (like last week) had a boo boo with a Ferrari 
Me? I still love America muscle. Someone in my neighborhood either bought or restored a ('70 maybe, I terrible with years) Chevelle SS. It is beautiful. Give me American muscle or badass American trucks (late '20s and on) any day of the week.

Rambler Metropolitan. A friend's Dad bought one for his wife as a 'grocery-getter'. Trouble is, he liked it so much he drove it most of the time. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/nashmetropolitanconvertible-4_r.jpg My Dad never had that problem, derisive stories and he replaced as soon as he had the means. Cool mini like the Nash car but not nearly as refined. |

I think this is the coolest car ever.
ETA: Old BMWs are pretty cool 
I think older customized Japanese sports cars are really cool.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Corvettes are nice cars, but you have to deal with the Chevrolet service department. They treat you the same as an owner of a Cruze. I've owned two Corvettes and loved them both but dealer experience was pretty meh. I did end up going way out of my way and found a dealer that actually treated me right. I don't need my ego stroked, but a Corvette ZR-1 is not a Beretta. Quote HistoryQuoted:
