Not quintessential, I'm afraid, despite its genius.

Not Alfetta?
Alfa 8C Monza.
Honestly? This. Just slap an Apple badge on it, mark it up 40%, tart up the interior with some gizmos and you're there.
I think the most important thing would be that, like the iPhone, it would have to somehow alter how we think about the engineering and use of cars. I think, spiritually, it would be akin to a Citroen DS or Tatra T87
Quaint my ride. Didn't work on any level, but I admire Jeremy's effort.
More concept cars. I went to the NY Auto show this summer and it was just a massive dealership floor and a huge waste of time, with a few exceptions. If you know about cars and you're interested in cars, there are no surprises here.
Clifton Suspension Bridge over Avon Gorge. Imagine how scary this thing would have been in 1864, hanging 300 feet above the water with a 700 foot span - it's fairly intimidating today, actually, being so narrow. That's why Brunel was a genius.
I thought about that, but then I realized I'd get to rebuild an intricate little Ferrari V12.
Because Balboni

Ferrari 250 GTO. If the world's ending in a year, I'm going to spend it putting 100K on the clock of something too rare to drive.
Can anyone share some resources as to where and when this can be watched (live or in highlight form) on US TV? As much as I like watching the mouth breathers guess quarter mile times on Speed Channel's Pass Time, brought to you by Royal Purple, I could use a diversion.
And this one (and Aston), but you get the idea.
Has anyone on the interwebs managed to trace the backstory of the '76 Lincolns? I'm dying to know exactly how these ended up in Best Korea, and are preferred to the Fiat Siena.
+1. The best piece of automotive advertising of all time. A terrible product ostensibly being marketed to people who will never afford one. Also, why the hell is that guy in a bathrobe so pumped about a 90s Fiat coming out of a wave?
Hope Springs Eternal. Can it please be Britain? They've fixed the striking and electrics and bad design problems, I promise.
Learn how to drive. As in, be taught by a professional on a track how to drive. Preferably rallying.
Not get caught speeding! If I get through this next year my points will drop off.
Most demolition derby cars are just a hairsbreadth away from the scrapheap anyway (if not originating there), so any of these might be a good candidate for a quick jury-rig or two and a hilarious (but brief) time in the arena.
