Another vote for the’59 Cadillac. Either convertible or 4 door.

I am assuming a car that was manufactured new before high school graduation.

Regular consumer cars: RX7 and MR2.

More of an exotic, 90-94 Porsche 964 Turbo series.

I had a poster of that car on my wall. It was like a car person's car as no one else knew what it was.
I believe it was also in that Connery/Snipe movie "Rising Sun" if I recall correctly.

That was/is a great review. The most memorable thing is that for a space age car like it was - the key to it was your generic square GM key.

A 1963 Corvette, or a Jensen Interceptor, or an Avanti, or a 1966 Olds Toronado.

I like elegant things.

I can't remember which I wanted more, a 1988 Mustang 5.0 or a Mitsubishi 300GT. I'm leaning towards the 3000GT. I did own two Eclipses. An RS, which was all I could afford on my 1999 Army salary, and a used 1995 GSX that I bought and ran into the ground not long after I got out.

Excellent choice! I remember seeing those Oscar Mayer weiner mobiles in Southern California in the early sixties. I haven't thought about that in years or decades at least.

I want an old pickup truck with no fancy GPS or computer this computer that. I just want an old clunker with a refurbished engine. I live out in the country driving on dirt road with one of those babies would be cool.

My now 18-year-old daughter is getting a minivan! Haha. She used to beg me to get one when she was little (she saw the TVs in them which is why she wanted me to have one).

I wanted Herby the Love Bug. I'd still take it. I also used to like a book my dad had full of concept cars. I really don't remember what any of them were called though.

Going by my pre 16 yea told tastes? A 911 convertible. Or a DeLorean, as problematic as they are, would still like one.

British Leyland MG Midget. Don't know if they make it anymore or if that's a PC name in our current culture, so perhaps it's called something else.

Saw it in some giant, glossy magazine of lofty taste, one I wouldn't normally come across. But, the ad had 2 happy looking, young people in love & at 13, I thought if I grew up to have a bf with the car or buy one of my own, I'd get the relationship, too.

Ah, yeah, thus far... nope to both.

I'd still like that cool little car.
