What would you rather have?

[LarryIII]

To answer your question on cars, I would like the following cars sitting in my garage next to my SVX:

1) 2002 Subaru Outback VDC H6 with tow hitch and an enclosed trailer into which any one of these other cars can fit.
2) BMW 507
3) Ferrari Berlinetta Luso
4) 1955 Ford Crown Victoria
5) 1957 Ford Thunderbird
6) 1970 Olds Toronado SC
7) 1959 Chrysler/PininFarina Turbine II Car. There are 50 of them sitting on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the Andrea Doria inside special high strength waterproof containers. The containers were designed and built to withstand undersea water pressure, just incase the ship sank. That's really forward thinking.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find out that the cars were in the Andrea Doria? I thought that Chrysler had the cars dismantled and scrapped in Italy.

Ron,

I finally found Chianti in a wicker covered box.
And, I agree. There's nothing like a beautiful Italian woman.
I know, I've lived with one for over 30 years.

And there's nothing so rare as a 30 year marriage that still sees the sparks fly. My congratulations to you & the beautiful naviguesser.
Ron.

Larry, I drove an Outback LLB the other day and realized that I'm too leggy for it. But I love the way the windows have no frames.

My choice? I'm not too picky. A (pristine) '70's Lotus Europa Coventry Climax. And a 308 Spyder.

You're too leggy for an Outback and you still want a Europa?
I thought they were the stuff when they were new, that is until I almost got stuck trying to get in one...

What car would you most like to have other then an svx?
Can be unrealistic (like lambo or something).

I'm pretty simple to please, I'll take the original Jaguar XJ220 *prototype* (beetle-wing doors, V12, AWD)

The Europa would serve as a hood ornament for my Pinzgauer.

Well, next to my SVX,


1988 Plymouth Colt DL wagon 4x4 with flaired fenders lowered 4 inches w/17 inch wheels and a 4g63 engine swap with the bolt on upgrades(400+hp) just to make people say 'what the?'

1987 Toyota MR2 with a turbo charged 4age.(maybe this summer )

and an exotic like the brand new Lambo, that thing is sweet, 400 ftlb of torque at 2600 rpm.

[Mr. Pockets]

Ferrari 288 GTO
First-generation Lotus Esprit
Bugatti EB110
Subaru 360

<jingle> 'One of these things is not like the other...'

PS a Justy would be on the list, but...heh...

There used to be (maybe still is) a go cart track in Ft. Lauderdale that used Subie 360s locked in first gear for the race cars. Low power and as roly-poly as Humpty Dumpty, but they were fun to race.

There are too many for me to mention. Bugatti, however has always been a passion. Starting with the type 10, then . . . I'd take a type 35 (though wouldn't wear a long scarf when driving it) . . . the type 57 Atlantic is a bizarre little animal, but would look great setting beside an early XKE. Finally, the EB 18/4 Veyron. Style and power to the teeth, 18 Cylinders of power surrounded by pure cool!!!
(For a major "chubby" go here http://www.bugatti-cars.de/engl/index_cu.html and click on the logo. Go to "Renaissance" to read an interview with Giorgietto on the EB118. Then, be sure and click on all of the "Appearance" links to view Quicktime movies on the cars -- especially the Veyron! )

Also, if I sunk more into the realm of "reality" (but, still in the "not bloody likely" category) I truly and dearly want a Lambo Countach.

Heck w/ a car, I want a baja truck 800 HP, weighs nothing, crazy speed on and off road. Drifting fun

[1994SubaruSVX]

i have actually considered tracking down a 850 but they are still around $40,000 and only getting rarer by the day. there is one here in memphis that has wide wheels, looks lowered, and just hauls ass. too bad it is so expensive......just out of my reach.
