Camry FTW. The car has no character, no suspension, no style. It is about the most anemic vehicle on the planet. It is perfectly made, and will go 300,000 miles without a hicc-up, but is it perfectly boring.

BTW: I don't think I could drive it for 300,000 miles -- after about 30 miles, I'd be wondering if there's a gun in the car SO I COULD SHOOT MYSELF!

Oh - and the least interesting man's weekend car would definately be a Prius. Ya know, so he could put his groove on with the women...

He drives a battered Dodge Omni, but he has a rusty Fiat 850 in the garage with a very leaky engine and seized brakes that go to the floor. It would start, ''But all it needs is a fuel pump.''...

There is a milk crate where the driver's seat should be.

And still be uninteresting.



Which is a basic problem at all p-car gatherings. Got to be the major problem at Corvette gatherings.
HAHAHA! Thanks for the laugh.

I'm gonna go with either a base model emissions laded C3 Corvette that if it weren't made out of fiberglass would of rusted into the stone age, or a 944 with rotted suspension, blown shocks, cone air filter, and a flashy paintjob.

Modern: A Prius or a Honda Element.

Older cars: A Pacer or a Gremlin. Possibly a Plymouth Arrow or Chevy Citation

Funny aside here. Ron Tonkin, a Portland Oregon megadealer including the Ferrari dealership, was on the east coast for an auto dealer convention on 9-11-2001. He was President of the organization then. All air travel grounded, yet he wanted to get back home. So, megabucks that he is, he bought a car to drive he & his wife home in.

Now what would this man, who could afford anything, choose?

Yep, a Camry...

Thinking about it, it was probably the perfect choice.

Same here, I used to be more interesting but decided to "fly under the radar" for a bit.

The least interesting man would at least be a little bit utilitarian, I'm thinking an early 80's Dodge Rampage. Besides, he doesn't need room for passengers. Just him and the dog, no friends, no chicks, no kids...
