Just be careful what you wish for, boys...

You know, I tried and failed to think of the last time you contributed something of value to this site. You have become a one trick pony Paul, and your trick is tired. I think it is time to take your first threat to heart and move on, there's some real issues going on with the things that you post. You're a self-righteous troll that pisses upon basically everything that doesn't directly align with your views in life which include a hatred of Porsche (insecurity over selling yours), and love of Mustangs (constantly justifying your decision), and playing pool.

Back to the topic at hand, it's well known that I have a hard time sticking with one car for long. On that theme I picked two, largely because these both occupied spaces of honor on my bedroom wall as a kid. Both are epic, even by modern standards. If I had the means, this would be a tough one.

I see that some of you guys love it, too; the car that comes quickly to mind for me... and has... for decades... the 250 GTO.

But I would also really enjoy a C2 with a small block... or a CS... and I forget the original parameters Lubey gave, but if it was to be my only car, being able to have A/C would probably make either of them come out a winner.

It's definitely an "over the top" question. I met a guy that has 2 60's GTO's....the charisma of these cars you can cut with a knife. The interior is "all business" and the cars bear the patina of driving, not storing. Those cars definitely have something special. Don't get me wrong, visiting this guys collection is an awesome experience (original Testa Rosa, D-type, C-type, several 300SL's, even a modern Ford GT, ETC!) but those GTO's....man are they cool! This fellow's business is the restoration of 300 SL's......a cool million will get you a fresh one thats been lovingly restored to better than new condition. He claims there are clients of his that put 30k miles per year on their 300SL's ! There are probably no modern exotics that have any owners that drive them even close to that much but I guess the comparative simplicity of the 300SL means someone CAN do that. He also says that Benz supports these cars in an unheard of way, a phone call to Germany and 24hrs later, you have the part in your hand. I guess Benz believes these cars are the soul of the company and they seem to invest much in resources to keep them out there and running. Love 'em all, but the GTO is a special bird!

That's hilarious, the picture looks like a badly done Photoshop where the scale is completely out of whack...what a beast! Cool behemoth though!

Of course, nothing in this thread holds a candle to a Mustang. :rolleyes:

Drisump 05-05-2013 07:50 AM

Wow! There is always something more outrageous around the corner. That one of Leno's is something else....
