My bright orange box.

I really have its elderly first owner to thank for the condition it’s in. When I bought it in the summer of 2009, it had done just 90k km’s, had double seat covers - lambskin on top of vinyl - and was generally spotless. It’s now at 165k.

Because I like it, it’s fun and easy to work on, and I’ll likely never find another one like it because they all died years ago.

Mine is a 1987 Lincoln Mark VII LSC. My mom gave it to me in 2000, when I was 13. I proceeded to tear it apart multiple times for various upgrades and whatnot. It has been sitting in the shop since 2007, but I’ll be getting it back in shape soon.

Mine would not be the most expensive car in the world, nor the most glamorous, nor even the most reliable. I’d need a sizeable budget to rust proof and repair it each year. Yes, it is, an El Camino:

15 years with me, and 28 years with my father before that. This one is definitely my forever car.

*Prepares to get made fun of.*

My dad bought it in ‘84 and drove it once. He passed in1984 and my brother and I passed it back and forth. It eventually became mine and my oldest son calls dibs on it, so in my lifetime, that’s forever

Mine is my Outback XT for reasons that have as much to do with practically as love. It’s quick (and soon to be even quicker), it’s fun, it’s comfortable, and critically it can pretty much every job I’ll ever need of a car. Recce a rally stage? No problem. Cross country road trip? Twice. Go somewhere with…

Bought it nearly ten years ago as a student. It will come out of hibernation next week :)

And, this is the philosophy of all my heroes...

Bro. Adblocker. 

I never thought I’d want one. But now I do. 

Were it not for their frail transmissions, I’d own one. Or nine.

I’ll just leave this here.

As someone whose first car was a 1981 Buick Regal Turbo coupe, I still haven’t forgiven GM for switching the Regal/Cutlass/Grand Prix to front wheel drive. THIS is the Cutlass that you would want for Radwood:

Setting price aside, if you don’t like this car you can GTFO

Adam Savage did it first

NP because it comes with a Lego man wearing a hat in the engine bay.

There’s no rational reason to like this car as much as I do, but car fandom is itself irrational.
