That'd be awesome!



Does your uncle have any issues with the upkeep of the car? I hear some really bad horror stories about 928S's...not the most cooperative autos to maintain?

1. Porsche Carrera GT
2. Ferrari Maranello
3. Ferrari 360 Modena
4. Mazda RX-7 (the Spirit R from Japan) - odd choice I know...
5. Aston Martin Vanquish

I'm avoiding the Enzo, just because...uh. It's just not a stylish car. Fast as hell, just don't think its pretty.

This may not be one of the most beautiful cars, but it is certainly unique.

Hmmm the Honda S800 is only 26... I've always wanted on of those, but they are rare as hens teeth in the US. Pics here for those of you who don't know your early hondas:

Dunno why, but I've found the 06 Impala to be quite aesthetically appealing lately.

Yeah, you guys are thinking like friggen americans again... Think the world revolves around you... didn't the guys from Top Gear teach you anything ??

The Fiat 500 in europe in older times is like the Civic here in the US in recent times... Made since the 1950's till about 1975, it was like the beetle... You guys have heard about the beetle, no ??

I wanted to get one at one point (i like little cars like the Ford Pinto, VW beetle, microcars, etc)... THere's a place in Chicago (or somewhere around there) that offers imported and restored 500's...
