So I'll take one of those old Camrys over any car named above.

Do you not dream? Do you never want to do FUN things with cars?


I never understood car people on automotive forums that were that vanilla and boring.

there away too many cool cars that could be had fun with to limit your self to the most boring and vanilla cars out there, given teh opportunity.

I am only 28 but I would pick either:


or:


I love the Corvair - my dad has one (1969) with only 15,000 miles on it. He just has it sitting in the driveway under a cover. I would totally get one even though they were deemed environmentally unsafe.

And the reason for the old Z24 is because I used to have one (two tone silver) and I LOVED it. No airbags, no auto locks, tiny steering wheel, no key fob, etc. Basic car but I loved it. Small, kinda quick I guess.

The post said "ONLY ONE".
It isn't a multiple choice.

Only one? It'd be between a classic or modern Corvette.

1967 Chevy Corvette Convertible 427/435


OR

2012 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport Convertible


Of course I wouldn't give up my truck for a low-slung sports car .

You guys must eat only bologna sandwiches and nothing more exotic than MAYBE fried chicken every once in a while.
true there are many really cool cars out there, but what good is a ferrarri if you have to constantly tune the damn thing to keep it running? or if it breaks, it iwill be quite expensive to repair.

but if you dont like my choice of a taurus wagon, how about a 66 mustang or 64 falcon instead?
