I also notices a decided dearth of trophy wives...
You downsized your company by 10,000 workers and close a few US plants and sent the jobs overseas to China. You are flush with millions thanks to your options cash out and Wall Street's approval of cutting for the sake of the bottom line...US be damned. Your original wife is greying and has wrinkles. Might as well get rid of her too for something youthful. A day in the life of a CEO my friend.

1963 Corvette, yes has to be a 1963.
1969 Camaro, again, has to be a 1969.
Fiat (Ferrari) 206/246 Dino.
Gotta have the Shelby Cobra
And I would absolutely love to have a chopped Model B 3 window coupe.

I prefer driving to wrenching and detailing. I enjoy looking at older cars, but you can do that for free. I'll prob. stick to more modern machinery and admire others' old cars.

That is fantastic! Already looks good. How close are you?
I would like the answer to be NEVER!

You see it's my Daddy's car, he bought it brand new back in '57 and has almost completed the restoration, but unfortunately like all of us he is aging and I don't know if he will ever finish it up. Someday it will be mine, but like I said, in all honesty I dread the day because of what it will mean.

Not a bad list.

This is the car that made me car crazy when I was just a small boy. I had a Matchbox version of this car and I could not get enough of it. I have never seen one in person, but still, images just take me back, this thing is stunning.

1966-1972 Lamborghini Miura


And more amazing as a roadster

I have been lucky enough to see a few of these in person. My wife looked at this picture and said, "I just want to kiss it." I think that means she really likes it.

^ I actually saw one on the road here and was floored. Just a stunning car. Too bad Lamboghini's current styling seems to follow the Countach theme, rather than the Miura...

I'm impressed you guys have seen one, someday maybe for me...

I totally agree about the new Lambo designs, I'm just not a huge fan of big flat surfaces and sharp angles connecting them.

I just wish they would push this concept through to production...





I would kiss that asss for sure
