A 1986 959 is 25 years old now, so would be fine.
Well, it started after the 1953 crash of Pierre Levegh's Mercedes 300SLR at Le Mans, killing 85 spectators (and Levegh)- a lot of countries introduced bans on auto racing, but Switzerland is the only one where the ban is still in force.
Jack Johnson, then heavyweight champion of the world, was stopped for speeding in his Lozier in 1911, and handed over $100.
Some of AMARC (the bit where they chopped up the B-52s with a giant guillotine) is laid out deliberately to be viewed by Russian spy satellites.
It's stuck- towing it off would presumably make it break up.

This is my post-zombie-apocalypse ride. Will run on wood, and screw running away from zombies when you can drive over them...
The Hyundai iPod connection is always terrible for navigation- I've had problems with it in a friend's Kia cee'd.

Last year, I saw someone using a Beta Spider to trailer a boat down to the water. I have no idea how that car has survived this long being used like that.
Miata, surely?
A 1965 Volvo PV544. My dad bought the car several years before I was born, and it's been in the family ever since. I came home from the hospital in that car (which, incidentally, was my first post on Jalopnik, for another QOTD). I remember sitting behind the wheel when I was 3 or 4, pretending to drive. I remember my…
