'76 Toyota Corolla Station Wagon, diahrea brown, with Grateful Dead/Pink Floyd adorned, tye-Dyed curtains and dirty, crusty, sheepskin seat covers. You want options? Don’t forget the G.I Joe action figures glued to the hood or the rusted through hole on the driver’s side floor. My first car! Sorry, not what you were looking for?

I might pick maybe two of the vehicles on that list for the ‘10 best’. But then, it also depends on what your criterion is. Handling? Performance? Looks? Ability to get paid by owning them?
That was supposed to be, “The ability to get LAID by owning them.”
There was a great parody of a car commercial in a National Lampoon magazine a number of years ago. This was back when Ford was trying to compare the Granada to a Mercedes. The ad in Lampoon went something like this:
“The Ford Granada handles just like a Mercedes. The Ford Granada has the same acceleration as a Mercedes. The Ford Granada is as quiet as a Mercedes. You can hardly tell the difference!”
for the record I would like to state, that I find the Daytona to be a foul, butt ugly car. None of my male aquaintances can fathom this reaction. go fig.
Really! What are the odds that the ten best cars EVER made were all produced in the 1990s?
My list, in no particular order:
1965 Ford Mustang
1956 Ford T-Bird
1957 Chevy Bel Air
1966 MGB Roadster
1960 356 Porsche Super 1600 Roadster
1963 Jaguar XKE Coupe
1967 VW Karmann Ghia
1962 VW Bus
1960-65 Corvette Stingray
Any wood paneled Ford Station Wagon built between 1939 and 1955
Holy crap! I didn’t even notice that 80% were Mopar/Mitsu! I never really aligned myself with any company before, but I guess my true colors show. This list is just the 10 cars that appeal most to me, and the colors are the ones that, in my opinion, they look best in. I can’t believe I screwed the HTML, though. Mark it as my very first HTML screwup on this board ever. Pshhh, not even you ‘long timers’ can count yourself as consistenly flawless when using HTML than me, save Danny boy. If anyone’s wondering, I just replied to drag this back up top for a few minutes.

And that’s just keepin’ the top 10 in North America.
When I was in high school I bought a car from an old man who had bought it for his daughter. It was too ‘racey’ for her, so it sat in the garage for several years collecting dust… I bought it for $1500… The old man was happy to be rid of it…
1969 Shelby Mustang!
Also on my wish list are:
1965 Corvette Coupe
1965 Shelby Cobra (hey, I can dream can’t I)
The new Vipers look pretty damn good, too!
