The Evil Genius Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Late 60s/early 70s 911 would be acceptable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 For nostalgic purposes? 1974 VW Beetle. Car my mom had when I was a little boy, and the first car I can vividly remember. Vinyl seats that melted your skin in summer and gave you frostbite in winter. When it rained, puddles sloshing around on the floor. Heat was off the engine, AC was 2x55.

The Evil Genius Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If we're talking nostalgia..then a mid 70s MG. My dad had a few of those off and on when I was growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The 1969 Boss 429 is absolutely the finest Muscle Car ever produced. And it’s not even close. Edit: I guess the Yenko NoVa is close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned to drive on one of these, my HS girlfriend's father had one, and he taught both of us to drive on it. (I was as close to her and her family as I was to mine...) Then he gave it to her as her 16th birthday present. I got to drive it often for a number of years until they moved away and we broke up. I liked him. Loved her. I missed both the girl and the car for the better part of the next decade, and remained single for most of it. I bought a used Boxter in the mid-2000's, but it just wasn't the same. Sold it a year later. The 911 was just fantastic in every way. Ive got a 78 Targa, make me an offer Mahle 3.2 conversion, will scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It arrived in boxes, he put it together.

Seriously they are the definition of a bucket of bolts. His was mint, too. And if you are over 5 feet 3 inches tall, forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I love cars. I've had 26 in 18 years, once I got married really toned it down. If money was no object. 1973 Hemi Cuda Convertible 1955 Mercedes Gullwing 2005 Mercedes E55 AMG Station Wagon - fun fact this is the rarest car Mercedes makes, in 2005 roughly 100 wagons were sold in the US over 300 SLR McLarens were sold in the same year. I’m researching my next one and I’m leaning towards a 2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat. Do you need 700hp? Of course not but for 45k it’s the best bang for the buck you can buy and man it would be fun.
