I must say that Hummer's are cool and all, but America just doesn't make cars like Europe. Germany in particular. My favorite car would definetly be the Porsche 959. What a car!!!!!!

I love the little European Smart Cars, they are deathtraps but the coolest cars I've ever seen :). They were so cute :)

I agree, German cars are pretty sweet. They are fast and cool looking only problem is they are pretty pricey. Oh well, someday. . maybe I'll be driving to a competition in a Beamer. .

the 70 mustang boss is the best

Porche 911 Super sport is better than the 959. However if you're gonna spend the money go for the Lamborgini Diablo. Can't beat it with foreign cars.

just wondering.. how do all of these cars fare in the snow?? I'll take my 4wd ford escape over any of those cars in a new england winter :)

Then again... the summer is another story :) any BMW sounds good to me.

The McLaren F1 is capable of 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed in excess of 240 mph. The McLaren F1 is the fastest, most powerful and most expensive production car in the world. One key design feature of the McLaren F1 is the positioning of the driver - in the middle, with two passenger seats aft of either side. This is one bad car.

She's so Beautiful!!:cool: :cool:

I guess the steering wheel/ shotgun war is over. You won't be able to say, "Hey! That car' steering wheel is on the wrong side." Nor will freinds be fighting over shotgun. Sounds good. WHat's the gas mileage like? I know Hummers only get about 1 to 1.5 mpg on the street.

Good luck finding one. They have stopped production and they only made about 100 in the whole world.

GLUG GLUG GLUG! There's no way you get any kind of gas mileage with that car, I drive a V8 and that's bad enough. The body/frame leaves a bit to be desired. It's like a corvette, you have a little fender bender and the car is nearly totaled because carbon/fiber mix cracks like eggshells dropped on the floor. Did you notice that some of the specs are in english measurements and the others are metric? Kinda strange.

i just pasted those specs from another site. didn't realize they were in metric. and when people drive that car, they prolly don't worry about gas milage.

you gotta be rich

Your right. IF you can afford the car, then you can affor whatever the gas costs to run it. Its kinda like a jet airplane. People who can afford to buy one, can afford the fuel, the repairs, and the upkeep, to keep it running. Your not going to buy something you can't use.

Its all about the hemis

My fav car that i would looove to have is a hemi 'cuda ooo so nice, nothing like good old mopar power, the only problem is to get one say a 1970 i need about 70,000 bux not to mention the money to get to it or ship it and pay for the gas but i still want one. *drools*

Hemis r soo nice
