cars - what do you like to drive?

[VisceralReaction]

I was suprised that we haven't seen anyone with a preference for old trucks!
here's my preference, 61 Chevy

I thought the suspension was a very nice upgrade over the stock setup and didn't find it harsh in the least. It's definately not plush though

I'm sure a lot of it depends on the road. Some of our roads are pretty nasty.

This is very true but I am from New England and I don't think it gets much worse.

I was flogging the shit out of the car and so wasn't really evaluating it for ride quality as much as cornering ability.

This topic is too broad.
There's cars I want but will never own (Ferrari 246GTS, M-B SLK, Alfa 8C-2800, etc.),

Cars I want and might someday break down and buy (M-B 500SL, Lotus Elise, BMW Z(M)3 coupe, Porsche 928S4),

And cars I own or have owned that I really enjoyed driving ('68 Jaguar XKE 2=2, '80 Fiat Spider, Mini Cooper S,)

Anyway, there's no way I could have just one car. I'd need at least a sporty car and a truck, so my choice(s): Mini Cooper S for twisties, and my Dodge diesel 4x4 for highway and hauling.

the original intent was for cars that you could actually go out and buy now.

i was laughing at the fact that someone is selling a 10 yr old car with 87K on it for $10,000 and was then informed that the car new was closer to $50K. i wouldn't spend that much on a car. i posted up a list of cars that i would buy, and that are closer to my budget. (import taxes not included, lol)

That is extremely cool.

Barrett is fun - I'm planning on going with some friends again this year.    

Lots of great cars plus good people watching.

I have a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda 440 six-pack, love that car! I would post a picture but for some reason I don't have one on my computer. Sad that I'm thinking about selling it.

Found one!



Trust me I don't want to. Me and my dad got it in 2007 I think. It was one of three cars we planned on getting some day. 1970 Dodge Charger, he used to have one, wished he'd never sold it. 1970 Dodge Challenger, pretty much my favorite car ever. My mom wouldn't let me get one as my first car saying it "wouldn't be reliable"... psh lol... and then that good ole Cuda, it was the first one we were able to get. It's the one thing I got from my dad that I said I'd never sell. I know the policy, but will take a chance. I'm a religious person, and have been very blessed at times in my life. But lately I've been called elsewhere. I'm applying for a mission trip that will take me around the world to 11 countries in 11 months. It costs around 15000 to go on. One of my best friends is going on the same trip but a different route. I am very grateful for everything i've been given in my life, but for me it's time to give back. So when God hit me real hard one day and said that I don't need a lot of the things I have, I started selling it all. This will be the hardest thing for me to let go of. But if it means giving some of that to my friend so that she is able to fund her trip and go help the world, I wouldn't have any regret in it. Maybe one day down the road it will end up in my driveway again...
