Free Dizzyland Trip? Bah. Nothing is for free.

After reading through the comments (all of them... whew!) my first thought is confirmed, methinks; that it's all about the adrenalin rush. It's either the rush of adrenalin from hooning a slow car at or beyond its limits, or the rush of adrenalin you get from being at the helm of a wonderful piece of engineering with

Boy, you know how to pick 'em. I'd go with the Camaro, but only for a true Project Car Hell; it's the worser of the two evils.

Very cool. Did they ever make a pickup version of this?

Gotta go with the bus. Respect the classics, man!

@rjones: Weird? Definitely. Useless? No way. Think of all the dump trips & moving days that can be used to justify the ownership of a truck as a second vehicle (all you married/begirlfriended chaps will know exactly what I'm talking about.)

Kinda reminds me of the "portable hole" thing from a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

A '74 import pickup with a rusty box? No! Can't be!

What a terrible choice to have to make; a Ventura that became a pile o' crap vs. a Volare that started out as one. I picked the Volare as the lesser of two evils.

The Datsun, hands down. I've heard way too many 2002 horror stories; even the number scares me.

Ha! I test drove a brand new Colt Vista wagon (4WD), and got t-boned on my way back to the dealership. 16 miles on the clock, and it was totaled. That was a shame.

Whatever they started with, they didn't keep much of it over for the finished product. The dash does say Malibu or Elcamino, but, I think they all had the horizontal scale-type speedo. But with the mishmash of other stuff on this thing, it could be from a totally different GM brand.

By bringing back the Dart, is it implied that the new machine will bring back the old trick of flipping the air cleaner cover upside down to get that cool WAAAAAAA noise when you stomp on it?

Cosmo? Isn't that the goofball from Seinfeld?

@jonnylieberman: That'd be considered pretty mild coming from the "nice Irish Catholic girls" I've known. As an Irish Catholic boy, I oughta know.

Normally I'd have gone with the Olds, but an Esprit that's just begging for an engine/transaxle swap... Let's do this.

@TinaChow: No Abba for me, thanks. I'll have the Fairlane, spiced up with a helpin' of 302 (aka 5.0), some loud pipes, and some flames on the side. Thanks.

@Brian B: So he's the Ross Perot counterpart for 2000?

What about later Macs? Did their designs have automotive inspiration? The original iMac looks like an Isetta; I think I remember seeing an Isetta painted to look like an iMac.
