I like automobiles, especially sport cars. Was very excited at the prospect of the Camaro coming back on the market, but then the specs came out - NO leather seats! - and really sucky colors.

You can’t give me a Corvette - don’t like them at all. Muscle cars from the 1960s I like and once had a ‘70 Mustang Grande that was super until my sister rolled it.

Speaking of Mustangs, well I used to have a 1966 Mustang but it is really lousy on snow and ice, whereas my Datsun 240Z (1972) was a real cat with claws on snow and ice.

Will probably settle for the BMW roadster in the next year and a Cadillac Escalade this fall.

I bought a ‘66 Mustang 2 years ago and keep it in the garage until the weather is nice. No snow or ice, ever. I love getting under the hood and turning a wrench without wondering if I’m wrecking the electronics or the computer.

I went the other way. I replaced my 1966 Mustang with a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda. It had a 383 in the front and nothing in the back. Barracuda was a perfect name for a car that would fishtail when ever there was even a chance of rain or snow!
