My favorite car is one that is efficient and secure, has long uptimes, and doesn't crash. I like cars to "just work."

I have never driven a car like this, but the closest thing I have to it right now is my wife's 1990 Toyota Corolla. I drive it anytime she'll let me

Porsche Boxter. Metallic ruby red, just like the Testors(tm) model paint color. So deep you can't tell how much paint's there, polished to a shine that glows in the dark! Interior replaced with Oak and Leather. Sound by Carver...


...and of course, the day-driving car would be my cousin's 2-door black soft-top Caprice. Simple, powerful, sharp(1 thin red pinstripe down the side)

63 supercharged studebaker avanti- 160+ off the showroom floor-stainless steel trim and fiberglass body design by lowey-vettes and jags would get you off the line and thru the quarter, but up around 130 it was bye-bye. do not attempt any such hazardous behavior on today's deteriorating and overcrowded highways.
