Favorite Type Car

Mine would have to be a 1970 Hemicuda, or an AAR Cuda. Personally I like the big loud gas guzzling V8 cars of the 70's include but not limited to almost anything Mopar, the GTO Judge, the Mach 1 and Boss 'stangs (and shelbys of course), and the LT1 Camaros. I cannot seem to get into the Asian import scene, but that is just me. What about everyone else?

The Ford Cobra

Late 60's early 70's Dodge Charger. The Daytona and the Plymouth Superbird were pretty cool too..

The late 60's Camaros were nice too.

*chuckle* That's usually what a yes means when given two choices. :D

While I love the original more, I think the new one is cute.

Porsche 911 or Dodge Viper. Several cars made in the sixties are close to my heart as well.

The Porche is a beautiful car, but can't be driven to its potential here in the US. *grumbledamngovenorsgrumble*

Well the Porsches do have great acceleration. About one of the only things you can sort of legally enjoy in the U.S.

Plus, being rear-engined they almost never get stuck in the snow. :)

And right there is the only flaw in the new Beetle. They should have left the engine where it was!

They did. The new Beetle is just a Jetta with a facelift. The engine is in front, just like it was in the Jetta.

PS. Favourite car: 1957 Cadillac. All you need is a medium-sized Middle Eastern nation to supply you with gas, and at least 3 parking spots in order to maneuver the beast into position.
