I'm ignoring price/value here, because with muscle cars I don't think it's right to apply fiscal logic. Muscle cars are about the feeling they give you, you can't put a price on that. If you ask for the top five muscle cars on my shopping list you'll get a totally different answer.

@Mobius: Döner Kebabs are usually called Gyros here in the wild wild west. They're usually sidewalk fare in large metropolitan areas. As Skaycog pointed out we cook most of our meat over a bed of coals (or propane flame /hangs head in shame). She described the shish (from the Turkish word for skewer) variety of…
That's an all-around well crafted comment. Great comparison, plus you sneaked in short skirts and nippage... what's not to like. Well, besides the BB1.
@aSoundofSleep: Your comments are full of unequaled wisdom:
Headline makes it sound like they had a bake sale or car wash or can drive... At least they aren't begging for federal money.

Critics have a right to their opinion and are, in a way, paid to complain. But if all we look at is the subjectively unattractive physical form then we completely miss the…
@TheWraithL98: If QOTD got more comments like this I would spend a lot more time here. Bravo for including your personal feelings and reasonings for each and every spot on your top 5. You've captured the spirit of the QOTD without resorting to a simple picture of your 5 favorites. I appreciate the extra effort and…
These top fives make for a lot of repeats, and a boring read when we don't list our reasoning like our editor kindly volunteered.
@MrHowser: Took me longer than I'd like to admit before I figured out how you came up with the torque measurement.
@Ray Wert: With skills like that it's a bit puzzling that you've never won a COTD yourself.
I don't think I'm alone here when I say I knew it when I saw it. This comment had that something special that you just can't quantify. Maybe it was the poetic way you juxtaposed the Lambo-Ferrari rivalry with Hamman and Airbus. Maybe it was the brief history lesson and mention of the legendary Miura. Or maybe it…
@MrHowser: I wish I had a digital torque wrench. That's one thing I haven't gotten for my birthday yet.
@engineerd: I guess we're just giving congratulations now instead of waiting 'til 5:00. So, what've you got brewing in the tub today? Something special or just plane ol' scotch?
No. 2 - Ahem!
@my favorite car is a motorcycle: This is a great idea. Historically this is how all manner of automotive advancements came about, put them to the test on a race track.
