The "world's most interesting man" - what would he drive?

If he were real, what car (s) would he be driving?

He is manly, but he's also interesting...

How about a Morgan

or maybe a Bizzarinni?

Maybe an old Mercedes SL.

I almost said E-type, but I think that may be too expected.

Maybe he's driving Hugh's old AM DB4

+1 One of the new ones.

I was driving one day and turned on a sports talk channel on XM. They were interviewing this VERY normal sounding guy. Well, it turns out he was "The Most Interesting Man in the World"
He is, (actually was), a character actor from the 80's. Was on a lot of Dallas episodes. He is a business man now. Something about his wife being his Mgr. and heard Dos Equis was looking for a spokesperson. So he kinda said what the hell I'll try out for it. He had been friends with Fernando Lamas, (since passed away), doing a lot of sailing with him. So he decided prior to his audition he'd honor his friend by mimicking Lamas' accent.
As they say the rest is history.

Something old. Like a 50's Jaguar, but he could drive anything from a BMX to the space shuttle you know.

He don't drive under the influence (too cool for that), he is in the back of a limo with women half his age.

I was thinking along those lines. My first thought was an unrestored (but maintained) 1930's open-top Bentley in driving condition. That would be interesting.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
