    What Car Would You Drive In the Year of Your Birth ?

    08-11-2012 02:15 PM #1
    My birth year is 1980, so for me it's a toss up between a 1980 De tomaso widebody GT5 or an 1980 Ferrari 400i. Having to pick one i would go with the 400i. When i was a little kid the 400 was my favorite car.

    Post your birth year and what car you would drive from that year, Go!

    400i







    GT5, i couldn't find an exact 1980 widebody gt5 pic, but this will do.

    1963...





    I love cars, but the problem is they are like schroedinger's hobby. They're always in a quantum superstate of being both awesome and a huge waste of time and money... until observation momentarily forces them into one state or another.

    This is at the Columbus C&C. Last time I went (it was the only time) I was disappointed with the turnout, but then again this wasn't there.
