Sorry guys, but I just don't get the excitement surrounding cars. Yeah, they look cool and some of them can go pretty fast, but driving is just so dull. I mean, the reality is that you get one of these cars, and then you're just driving around the city or stuck on the highway in traffic. I suppose if you're rich, you can join one of those private racing clubs, or rent track time; but then you're just driving around in circles - really fast!

If I could have any car, it would probably be this:


Then I'd take the crazy car money and get one of these:


or this:


or this:


There's nothing quite like low and slow, by-the-seat-of... type flying, and these would be a great way to do it.

And one of these:


Or something like this:


If it's speed, this little Lancair does 276 mph in cruise. Let's see one of your cars do that! While going an any direction you like!

He also did this, which followed the DB5/6 made famous by Bond:


Aston Martin DBS ("first British Supercar")

but he also did this:


Aston Martin Lagonda

and this:


Microdot

And the engineer who helped him with the Bulldog, Mike Loasby, went on to work on this:


Delorean

But I would still rather have this:

That reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer gets to design his dream car. Ever see that one ? Also, this car is a blatant ripoff of a Diablo. But even uglier. Four headlights ? C'mon fuck a supercar !!!

1969 Dodge Charger




I'd settle for the Bluesmobile. I'd drive around town, siren on, and through the giant horn yell "Pull over, bitches!" to any drivers in my way.

So you're saying you needed the flashy, high-performance version, stumpy?

When most kids had posters of girls on their walls, I had a poster of a black Pantera on mine (along with a white on white Lamborghini Countach, and a Vector (which looks a lot like the Cizeta Moroder)).

Yep. When I was 15, I had posters of:
Gunmetal Porsche 928 Strosek
Canary yellow Ruf 911
Apple red 959


But of course, I also had the chicks-in-bikinis and Iron Maiden posters too.

Recumbent bikes have to be the goofiest, nerdiest things on the planet. Right now, somewhere out there, there are fat guys who smell like cheese enjoying the Doctor Who panel at a sci fi convention and making fun of recumbent bikes.
