[Lotus type 38](http://blog.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/1965-Jim-Clark-day-after.jpg). Don’t know why, I just love this racer above all others. [Porsche 911 Carrera 4](http://world-viewer.com/photos/porsche-911-carrera-4s/04/) A used one of these would be barely within my grasp but the repair costs wouldn’t. [Ford GT](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ford_GT_High_Quality.jpg). I think there’s something Mach 5 Speed-racerish burned into the little kid part of my brain about this car that appeals to me. As a family guy and small wagon fan, the [Audi A4 Avant](http://world-viewer.com/photos/audi-a4-avant/09/) and [BMW 3 series X drive wagon](http://dayerses.com/photos/bmw-3-sport-wagon/01/) have been on my short list for ages but I wouldn’t want to get either without a good warranty which means new which means ‘ain’t happening soon’. The Mini Cooper S looks like a hoot. ---

For pure coolness, how can you possibly beat the Aston Martin [DB5](http://dayerses.com/aston-martin-db5.html)?

Ha! I suppose I actually agree with you. I retract what I said. Looks are just as important as performance for many, including myself. I just love fast cars. But my current “hot rod” is a simple 2008 Mustang GT, with about 315hp at the wheels, but I didn’t buy it because its super fast…its not. I bought it because I think it is a classy representation of the original car, and because it looks sweet. Many Mustangs (IMO) suffer from the “too much badging” syndrome, where there’s racing stripes, badging, etc and I just don’t really like it. Here’s my ride: [http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp360/sgenetti77/MyCar001.jpg](http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp360/sgenetti77/MyCar001.jpg) Clean, classic, devoid of overt styling cues…evokes the Boss Mustangs of yesteryear. And I love the color. Its uncommon. ---
