1.) Some sorta lotus 7, if I had to say right now prolly a Caterham R500
2.) Porsche GT3, Dunno what GT3 specifically... I have a ton of respect for Porsche and this car, but doubt I will ever actually own one so I have never put much time into learning them... Just know that when I got a ride it was something I wanted.
3.) Maxton Rollerskate, rare as hell, funny name, Lotus 7 sex apeal with a full body.
4.) Lotus 23B, How could you not have one?
5.) Gumpert Apollo, f*** cool little car.
6.) 1983 chevy van with built in flatscreen/surroundsound, disco ball, mini fridge, couch and some kinda fold out table
7.) 1.8L Miata
8.) Box truck big enough to fit a car and tools in the back...
9.) 92 2L Accord Sedan w/5 speed
10.) Porsche 914 6

Assuming I am keeping these 10 cars, and only these 10 cars I think...

Yeah...Ferrari is pretty much the best Automaker in history. I would SO put up with having to where clothing with prancing horses on it and being labeled a "douche bag" in order to drive an f355, 308 QV, or GTB/4 daily.
Think about it...what other car manufacturer has produced SO MANY perfect driving machines. Excluding the Mondial, 208, the 400 and a few others...every single car they have produced has been mind blowing and worthy of a poster.

I'd have 10 '69 Mustangs, mostly Boss with a few Mach 1's. In all the good colors.

I loved the Espada. IMHO one of the most sexy 4 seaters ever. I had tried unsuccessfully to get my father to get one many years ago. And by coincidence, the 330America and 250GTE share the same pininfarina body. Good taste. :bigthumb:

I don't care for their cars, but it's tough beat an old F150, especially one with a hot motor stuffed in it. :)

get in any of the newer stuff?

they're still boring...but it looks like they got the idea and decided to step up quality.

I'm waiting for SVT to get back in the fold. Everything I've seen and read about the Raptor has been very positive.

Impossible. You couldn't even start the car by yourself. The motor has to be hooked up to a form of vehicular life support to warm it up before starting. These cars take a whole team of folks just to get them to move down the pit lane under their own power.

That is also a killer list. I honestly wish they'd bring back stick shifts and turbo cars (turbo is on the horizon though). I remember back in 95, it was a big deal that Hakkinen was left foot braking, now just about everyone does it aside from Ruben's Barrichello.

Yep. I agree the quality has improved, and I like some of the amenities, but I'm not thrilled by their growing it in height/size, and uglifying the front end.

Horrible execution by mazda.
Horribly programmed ECU (Bogging, fuel cut, boost cut)
Insufficient Intercooler
Weak diverter valve

Still a beautiful car (MMmmm..Lava Orange)
And those problems can easily be fixed aftermarket.
