My wife's '69 Corvair Monza hardtop. "Good morning, officer!" Yellow. Black interior. Wire wheels. Really sharp condition. No performance, but a real "head turner".

I tired of the oil leaks. Wish I had it back in the same shape I sold it.

I keep referring to Cosima's girlfriend by that name when discussing Orphan Black.

When I said I wouldn't bother with rear engine if is wasn't a Porsche or VW, I had forgotten the Cinquecento. I would at least give one a try.

If I can name a car I have never driven I'll say Ferrari Dino 246. Lovely design.

LOL, no thank you. Id own it to piss off American iron fanatics at shows. That would bring me real enjoyment.

BUT Ive been trying to cut down the fleet of extra cars I have parked in my yard and it seems to be growing instead

The 246 Dino and the Pantera are both neat cars, 246 more so than the Pantera. Sadly both are MR not RR and excluded by the OPs rules. Sorry to nitpick, but I liked the rule of no MR cars, it really forced me to think and realize how few truly RR cars have been built.

That EJ swapped Wartburg is cool, too bad its not an STi swap.

That VW-Thunderbird looks strangely well done.

I know this is still technically a Bug, although the plate says otherwise. I can't look away...must...resist...

Although at $12K BIN, it's not too hard to resist.

How about my '64 Porsche 356 'C' ritter hardtop cabriolet?

Mercedes W23 . . . really, no mention?

If it were a mercedes, for me it would be the C111 turbo diesel test car
