I love cars. Always have, ever since I was a kid drooling over pictures of my Dad’s '65 GTO in the family scrapbook. Like many, I love a lot of the classic musclecars from the 1960’s, but cars have never been more capable than they are now, so I would posit that the era of the musclecar is actually right now (in the face of growing concerns over peak oil, etc…kinda ironic!). Anyhoo, purists will scoff at me but there are a couple of cars that I really like right now. One is the Eleanor Mustang from “Gone In 60 Seconds”. Original-looking car image here: [http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://ramspeed.nl/Eleanor/Eleanor\_Mustang\_01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://ramspeed.nl/&h=435&w=652&sz=37&tbnid=3ffsYM4PJv\_YZM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&prev=/search%3Fq%3Deleanor%2Bmustang%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=eleanor+mustang&usg=\_\_PJfIRKfe6Fu9Tz-QenvAEnKhUoU=&docid=-tTs16CfKg6dkM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gCcHUO6gN4jCrQH83Y3rCA&sqi=2&ved=0CFEQ9QEwAQ&dur=65](http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://ramspeed.nl/Eleanor/Eleanor_Mustang_01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://ramspeed.nl/&h=435&w=652&sz=37&tbnid=3ffsYM4PJv_YZM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&prev=/search%3Fq%3Deleanor%2Bmustang%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=eleanor+mustang&usg=__PJfIRKfe6Fu9Tz-QenvAEnKhUoU=&docid=-tTs16CfKg6dkM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gCcHUO6gN4jCrQH83Y3rCA&sqi=2&ved=0CFEQ9QEwAQ&dur=65) But there’s a company called Custom Recreations that makes an incredible knockoff called the Shelby GT500CR, as seen here: [1967 Shelby GT500 Movie Car Mustang Alternatives For Sale | Classic Recreations](http://classic-recreations.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=89) THAT car is amazing looking! The GT 350 variant is a beauty too. See, I really like the _looks_ of the old cars, but not a whole lot else (well, the sound is cool too). Modern engines, brakes, suspension/tires, and accoutrements make cars like these far more appealing to me than a pristine restored musclecar from the 1960’s/early 1970’s. YMMV. Of course the car starts at “only” $199,000! For straight production cars, I like the new 2013 Shelby GT500…662 horsepower! And no gas guzzler tax! Watch this informative video as they try to get it to run 200mph: [2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Chases 200 MPH! - Ignition Episode 18 - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRuE38Bl5Mo&noredirect=1) And I also love Corvettes, so the ZR-1 is a great car too. Here’s a cool video of it hitting 200mph from three simultaneous angles (gauges, driver, in front of the car): [ZR1 Goes 200+ MPH! - 2009 Corvette ZR1 Top Speed Run - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxwZhWQYWcQ) What are your favorite cars?

Well, this is what I drive every day. It has the LS1 5.7 liter engine that also came in the C5 Corvette. It is electronically limited to 165 mph but I have only had it up to 140. It has it’s own special building, just for it, a sort of dream car garage. 2002 Trans Am WS6. But Mustangs are nice too.

Edit doesn’t seem to work. The picture on the beach is at the actual end of the Lewis & Clark trail. In the background is Tillamook Head, Seaside Or would be on this side and Cannon Beach on the far side. Busy morning on the beach. There were a few people walking in the other direction but the view behind the car looks like I have the whole thing to myself. ---

The [Wiesmann Roadster](http://www.wiesmann.com/en/models/roadster_mf5/). They’ve been a gorgeous recreation of the English sports car since day one.

I go to a lot of car shows and get tired of Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, and Barracudas. So it’s the less common cars that catch my eye. [Olds 442](http://www.autocarinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/1970-Oldsmobile-442-W30-Orange-ra-wb.jpg) I’ve always liked the looks of this car, especially with the stripes. And it’s attainable. I also like some of the old station wagons, like this [66 Chevy Caprice](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3643/3602989952_bdb21877a0.jpg). As far as more modern and attainable vehicles, I always liked the [late 90’s Mitsubishi Eclipse](http://www.mirage-performance.com/EclipseGSX/Stock/1998EclipseGSX004.jpg) and Eagle Talon. They could be had with AWD and turbo so they were fairly respectable. ---

So is that yours I take it? And it is in fact a sweet car! What’s so special about the heater delete option other than making the car “rarer”? ---

> [@zoid](#): > > I’ve always had a thing for the [Esprit](http://world-viewer.com/lotus-esprit-v8.html) That’s a proper Lotus. I don’t much care for the Exige. Its just so tiny! Although I have heard its an absolute riot to drive due to its incredible handling. ---

I don’t know much about cars, but a few months ago I moved into a relatively wealthy area of my city.\* For some people they are used to this and always have been, but before I was not used to seeing expensive cars everywhere. I came from a sea of Corollas. Every day I see Bentleys (cool ones too), Audi A8s, high end BMWs (M5s, 7 series, 6 series coupes, etc), Mercedes SLs, “good” Porsches, brand new Lamborghinis, I tailgated a McLaren MP4-12C one day and my eyes were popping out of my head. Some of these cost more than the house I live in. Cars like THAT turn my head. I haven’t seen a Lexus LFA before, but that car is super hot. That’s my type of dream car. \*I am not rich, I drive a 09 Civic, and I rent a tiny ass house out here. I love the central location 🆒 ---

I’ve always been in love with the pre-war Citroen Traction-Avant, with French agents in trench coats stepping out of the suicide doors in old black and white flicks.
