O/T: What's your second favorite car?

[benebob]

And I'm sure you probably have the same combination/turn signal stalk as half the 02 gm models too.

Hrm. I have a weird list:

(not in any specific order)

1. Renault Alpine A110
2. Subie SVXs
3. 2 door neons
4. 68 chargers
5. 70 Cuda convertables
6. Any daytona or superbird (winged verision, not the 80s daytona)
7. AMC Eagle 4wd wagon
8. BMW 850 CSI
9. Regular 911s
10. Acuras NSX
11. Those old volvos that look good
12. Packards
13. Studebaker Speedsters
14. 1961 Chrysler Town and Country 9 passenger station wagon with a hemi
15. Conquest TSIs
16. Kia Sophias (Don't ask)
17. 66 Lincoln Continental

Probably a bunch more....

First, ones that I've owned:

199X Nissan 300Z - I had a 96 n/a but would have preferred an earlier TT
88-91 Honda CRX - Rebuilding my 89's engine right now
69 Mustang
BMW 2002

Now for my dream list... note, I've got a thing for '72 models

'72 BMW 3.0CSi
'72 Buick Riviera
'72 Volvo P1800
'72 Dodge Dart Swinger
'72 DeTomaso Pantera
'72 Datsun 240Z
'72 Porcshe 911S
'72 Opel GT

Cord 810
Nissan Skyline GT-R
'76 AMC Pacer X

And yes, the Studebaker Gold Hawk (but with the more streamlined Commander front end) and the Lancia Stratos...

My Uncle had a 1970 Mercury Cyclone CJ -- I loved that car, even though it was <looking around, motioning you to come closer, whispering> pale yellow.

[solarsvx]

2 cars for for 2nd cars,,


supra twin turbo.. 6 speed targa top
"if u can touch one under 20g:


89-99 eclipse/laser/talon AWD turbo , no one can touch its performance value turbo and AWD..


of course number one is a svx i always loved them now i own one, =>

I forgot one...favorite import...and that's the Skyline. Almost any model but i really like the look of the R350 and R500.

About the GM steering column...interesting note...The steering column in the 2002 Trans Am is the exact same one that's in my brother's 1969 Camaro. Of course there's some new black plastic in it...but as i always say...if it ain't broke...don't fix it. GM does that with alot of things...but so does Ford...the Mustang is built on a chassis designed in 1979. And chrysler...their beloved minivans...still use the same suspension as the 1986 models. GM's extensive re-usage of old parts could be part of the reason that they are the only American auto maker not struggling to survive right now.

Two of my old favorites have already been mentioned...

MGB GT and Morgan Plus 8

add to that, a newer SVX, the last model supercharged Riviera, and a Honda S2000 and that would make one happy garage!

Porsche 959, SAAB Sonnet II, '94 Chrysler LHS, '70 Olds Toronado SC. I owned the last 2.
And I still want a pearl white '94 SVX LSi.

1957 Golden Hawk..super charged, first car I went over 100 mph in...

1957 Thunderbird..second car I went over 100 mph in...

1960 Chevy Impala..got to 135 mph in that one, have not been as fast in any car since...the passing of years tends to displace stupidity

The first car, in which I broke the century mark was a 1957 Vette. I was only 15, so, I wasn't driving yet. My uncle was.

I'd love to have a 55 T-Bird (My birth year), just to have one.

I don't know how old you are, but, I'm proof that, at 47, age has not yet displaced stupidity at that age -- Evidence: I have TWO SVXes, and, I've been to 135 in the first one.

On the basis of affection for what they did for me:-

1. Subaru FF1 Sports Sedan. 2. Mini Cooper 1275. 3. Daimler SP250 Dart.

Sorry but the SVX still has to make its mark.

- BMW Z8. Nothing compares.

- Jaguar XKR Coupe, and the convertable, and the XJ series, which I consider timeless.

- Acura NSX. LOVE it.

- Porsche 911 series, hate the Boxter, like the Cyeanne.

- 2004 RX-8, and 2005 RX-7 (YES! IT'S COMING BACK!).

- 1995 Mazda RX-7

- Ferarri 360 Modena.

- The new Maserati.

- Lamborginis are awesome...the Countach, the Diablo, the new thing...just pure cool.

- 1985 Subaru XT GL-10 On Demand Four Wheel Drive Turbo 5 speed.

- 1991 Subaru XT-6 5 speed (Hey, can I put THAT manual in my SVX?).

- 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4.

- 1990 Mazda Miata. Pure coolness.

- I like the design of the Hyundai XG series. Very italian...I have a thing for italian designs.

...more to come...lol.

I guess, If I HAD to choose ONE from each era, it'd be very difficult, but, let's say, if money were no object:

Classic:
70 'Cuda Hemi Fliptop

Exotic:
Lamborghini Countach

Current:
Saleen S7

The Randy's have something in common. I' d like to add an "or" to the "'70 'Cuda line (68 Road Runner 426 Hemi) Only drove one once. What an awesome experince!
