I voted for the Enzo Ferrari. I saw it in the new MotorTrend and it looks sweet. I would have also voted for the 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX. I'm also a big fan of the new H2, BMW M3, and BMW M5.

I like my car because I can go outside right now, get in it, and drive away.

Last I checked (last night), there were two Deloreans on EbayMotors. One from 81, the other from 82, and both for less than $10k, if I recall correctly.

Also postal Jeeps are cool (known as the DJ or Dispatcher). Take a look at www.postaljeep.com Can you believe that the government is destroying these vehicles that served our country for so many years?

Also, Old style Mini Coopers are kickin' and so are Baja Bugs.

I voted for the Stingray, it is by far the best one on that list, but i happen to be quite partial to the El Camino myself.

A black VW Bug, or a Jetta.

I voted for the NSX type R. How can you say no to a turbo? I would have voted for the vette, but 75' is the wrong year...it's all about the 76'! Huge displacemnt!

I love cadillacs and fighter planes. This one combines them both. Tallest production fins on a car EVER and with a 390 cubic inch engine and 10 mpg (16 highway:-)) This car is a monster.

Ohhhhh Yeeeeaaahhh!!

Dodge Vipers are the coolest looking cars, although the '93-'94 ones look more stocky and powerful than the new ones. I want one. NOW.

This is an addition to my first post (but later, needed to find time to scan pictures). But this right now is probably my #2 most favorite car after the H2, and right before the M5...

Yes..if you read the picture, all the info is true. I took it from the June 2002 issue of MotorTrend.

I Know, this is seriously sappy, but I'm still emotionally attatched to my first car. It was my baby!
It was a 1962 Jeep Wagoneer that had been babied and pampered by this old guy for almost thirty years before I got it. Except for one of the seats, the interior was origional and immaculate. I adored it.
What can I say, I like the classics.

It was sadly destroyed a few years ago by a family member who shall remain nameless. (No it wasn't my kid brother, although he did drag race my 93 Dodge Caravan. I can laugh about it now)

If you're going to like the 280s, then at least go for something more like the '75....

Joe3

10-09-2002, 22:01

Ricer? I don't think so...

my car:
95 Integra GS-R

ceramic headers,
cold air intake,
greddy exhaust,
lowered 1 1/4 inches
racing rims
working toward putting in a turbo, but reinforcing the engine costs some mad $$.

I'm surpirsed no one has mentioned the Miata.

It isn't very fast, but it's the most fun car I've ever driven.

One day people are going to look at them as classics. And I just happen to have a first year. ;)

11-09-2002, 15:53

um, if that isn't being a ricer, then I don't know what one is...

japanese car, lowered, rims, header, exhaust, etc...

I'm glad to see that a few of these things will actually boost the performance for your car, but this would make you a ricer...

I wouldn't call that being a ricer at all, I would take a ricer to be (this is exaggerated here) some guy with a civic LX automatic with a body kit, exhaust tips, a huge stereo, and so on...

All of those things I have add some function to the car which is the reason I have them.

Headers- help performance some, mainly a step toward reinforcing the engine so I can get a turbo

Intake- like 15 hp
Exhaust- like 15 hp
Lowering- better handling
Rims- lighter (yea, I guess there's no point to them, but they are white and go with my car, so whatever)

Just my thoughts..

1986 Porsche 959 Twin Turbo.......... Simply the most beautiful car ever made.

0-60 in 3.6 seconds

You only like that because of Gone in 60 seconds.
My favorite car is the McLaren F1 LM. It's the fastest road car out there. can go 0-100-0 in 11 seconds. 0-60 in 2.9 sec. cost:$1,200,000. only five were made. looks fast while standing still. just see the picture

Wrong. Never even seen the movie.

I like it because I used to drive one.

The first car I ever bought was a '73 Mustang Grande. A whale in comparison to most other Mustangs, but the 351 Cleveland in it was sweet. Eventually traded up to a '85 Mustang GT 5-speed T-top with the 5.0 litre V-8 (the last carbureted car built in America). Second gear in that car was a blast! Now I have a '97 Mustang GT 5-speed convertable with the 4.6 litre V-8 (missed the last 5.0 litre by two years, but I may still drop a larger block in it some day). Nice and snappy. The '68 Cobra was my cousin's, but I learned to love it before I even had my license. It made a Mustang fan out of me for life.

BMW Z-3 Coupe- ever seen one? It's like the Z-3 roadster except has an hard top... the sweetest, best-looking car ever made..no competition for anything with a reasonable price (no McLarens or Ferraris )

Ain't seen it?
