Marty Robbins because:

Since most women who buy two-seaters haven't wrecked their bodies via childbirth, I'll go with this.

Han solo would fly something that doesn't look like much, but has it where it counts. Something that you would be brave to come in. Something that you wouldn't be surprised to find out was won in a card game.

That's an obvious forgery. Phone numbers in that day would have been written "RIverside 8-2400" and "PArkview 6-4808"

My 2003 Crown Vic PI. I thought it was going to be a big floaty boat like my ex-gf's Bonneville. It feels surprisingly planted, and even though it takes it a second and a half to downshift on the freeway when I floor it, it takes off like a slingshot after it does.

The nose is all wrong.

Yay I'm famous!

1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP? Really? REALLY? You put that in the list and you leave out the late-model GTO? I'll grant you that it's more of a GT car than muscle car, but it's certainly a lot more muscley than a frickin' W-body.

I imagine it takes quite a bit of money to put together a collection like that. You don't get that kind of wealth by being foolish with your money. So car collectors must be sensible types, and what would you expect a sensible type to drive?

The late-model W201 190E.

I would like to submit this:

I don't have a driveshaft. Just a torque tube.

I like this.

Why? Anything that won't fit in the trunk of your Continental, you can pay somebody to deliver to you.

I've always thought it would be cool to rebody a vette in acrylic or lexan or some other transparent body. If I only had the time and equipment and whatnot.

GM should have marketed it as the "Toyota Volt." Then people would buy it.

Today in Automotive History:

White Zombie at 100dB+.

You don't hear a lot about this, but in the late '70s, Volvo was the first manufacturer to start using Bosch oxygen sensors (dubbed "Lambda Sond" by the Swedes) in their fuel-injected engines. Without oxygen sensors, we wouldn't be able to squeeze 100hp out of one liter of displacement on an NA engine.

I concur. Except that reasonable people also enjoy the 240. There's no need to have Berkeley stickers on it.
