Porsche 911T
The car of my "youth" in bright orange.

Body and handling of a Porsche, but an engine that wasn't so complicated that you needed a degree in computer science to open the hood. The "T" model had gears for in town driving - you could keep high revs running in third gear that would let you switch lanes on a thought. Yet it had plenty of muscle for the open road. I once drove from Houston TX to Seattle WA (3300 miles) in 55 hours elapsed time, stops and sleeping included. (Get on 10 heading west, when you get to LA take a right.)

In 1955, Stirling Moss driving (with Dennis Jenkins navigating) became the only non Italian to win the Mille Miglia. He drove a 300 SLR. Pictures at http://www.ritzsite.net/300SL/03_300SL.htm

It was supposed to be @$95,000, but as of late I believe its closer to $125,000. I think they're waiting to see the demand. I really want to get this car, my partner leases a CL500 through our company, so its not out of the question. I just don't know if my conscience will allow me to spend $1700 a month on a car. It just seems wrong. (thats my wife whispering in mt ear.)

OK - Cars that I have
I still have my first car in a garage for use on sunny and warm days.
1967 Dodge Coronet 440 (Think of it as a Charger with 4 doors). It was originally marketed as a polceman's special. It has the cop shocks, extra big brake drums, etc.
The beautiful thing about it is that the only pollution control in a PCV valve. So basically there is no pollution control on the car. Get in, fire it up, tickle the gas pedal and hold on to your lunch.
I still want my James Bond-mobile though........
