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

  1. 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.

    Mustang GT fastback should do the trick:



    And a 911 for good measure:

    There are no old Porsches - just new owners.

    When I was a little kid I started a *very* small little business of collecting bottles and cans from a boat club near my house. Given my age, and the relative success of the business, the adults at the time seemed to be impressed with it.

    My uncle bought me a plaque that had a kid about my age leaning against his 1987 Porche 911 Turbo. It's been in my head ever since. It had a caption that read "I've worked hard all my life for this." Sadly, I didn't get my hands on a Porche then, and I still haven't now... but someday.. someday I tell you!

    1970:

    or import:
    Studies have shown that all decaying mammals smell exactly the same. So what if you want the smell of dead whores but can't afford to risk a lengthy jail sentence? Try a dead cat. Just slip it under the seat and no one will be the wiser. They will get in your car and say " Dam ******, you gots a dead hooker in the trunk?" and you can smile and just say " I'll never tell".
