Whats your favorite car? Post your pick and the reasons why you chose it. My personal favorite is the Jeep grand cherokee SRT600. The cherokee alone is pretty cool but this has a 6.1L V8 (420 BHP) then hennessey took it and boosted the BHP to 620. I cant embed a picture on monile but its pretty sick.

One less as of about a month ago. I was reading a thread on the Vortex about a member with an F40 who got side-swiped by a minivan on the highway that wasn't paying attention while merging. He slammed on the brakes, locked up, and sent it into a wall. I'll try to find it. The car was pretty fucked up. Sounds like the owner is rich as balls though and will have it repaired and then some.

Found it!

I present you the BAC Mono, 520 hp/ton and 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, also British but in contrast to the mildy updated Lotus Seven body this thing is futuristic as fuck:

SL's are incredible. My dad has a 1990 sl500 (so much fun to drive) and my uncle has a 2011 sl63 AMG as well as a 1968 sl230 (just picked it up at the Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale this winter).

I'm convinced one-seaters are for people who want it to look like they're alone by choice.

And I know this next one is a bit unconventional, but I will own one of these one day. Caprice Classic / Roadmaster / Custom Cruiser. Wood paneling is necessary.

I forgot about this sex bomb. Easily the most impressive example of automotive excellence I can think of. It's like an antique Veyron. Jizz. Jizz everywhere.

most likely, but the Ault Park Concours d'elegance was last weekend and there are many Rolls Royce collectors nearby (not saying they own it, but may have connections), so id like to remain hopeful i saw the actual thing

there are a few places where you can buy real humvees those are sweet, and you can take them anywhere. A friend of mine has a sick humvee crawler, and we were at a traffic stand still. we hadn't moved for like 15 minutes so he turned off the side of the highway and drove up this concrete barrier wall that was at a 35-40 degree angle, people in cars were honking and cheering, felt like such a badass.

yeah, you must not be able to read, i was saying that design is the criterion i use for a nice car, not how many mods and hp it has, could really care less if the delorean cant break 150, it is a beautiful piece of work from the 80's. and note the lack of it being a miata or any of those other stance fucking frankensteins
