I've always had a thing for an older D-type racer but those things are all but unattainable lessen you've got millions to spend.
The 50s Ferraris really do it for me.

The only way I could ever think about buying even one of those cars would be if I hit the state lotto, but I still enjoy the technology and materials used on those old classics. Wait, I might be able to buy a '70 Eldorado one day, but the monthly fuel bill would be huge, that's why I sold the 7.5 mpg Jeep Grand Wagneer. Oh well........
I forgot about the D-type, what a car. I think it was one of the first cars to yse disc brakes, made by Dunlop, who also made the disc brakes for the 300SL roadster and W112 300SE series in the early '60s.
