The Fiat "Mephistopheles."

@shinjukuDLJ: I read that as "Offer CNG and/or MULLET diesel options-"

@RäcinG73™: This. I own one. I have yet to drive it because it is in bits, but it unbelievable how light the darn thing is. It's a monocoque with 60 horsepower(in base trim, up to about 110 in full factory "Carrera: trim), never over 2.0L(most were 1.6L) and STILL they won races right up til they went out of

@Chairman Kaga: This. If he is not in the Top 10, I don't know who deserves to be. He was one of the top engineers on the GT40 project back in the 60s, test drove it and started setting faster times than the real racing drivers. Would have won Le Mans if he hadn't misinterpretted a message at a late race pit stop,

Does it really get much better in the last 30 years than an early 90s, base model Honda? They'll go forever if you take less than good care of them, and those that were well maintained will likely be driven by cockroaches 928105 years from now. They were not as flimsy as their mid-80s counterparts, slightly less rust

@zyodei: You are clearly a gentleman and a scholar.

I nominate my grandfather's franken-truck. It's titled as a '56 Studebaker Pickup, but the bed alone is actually from a '56 Studebaker Pickup. The cab and front bodywork come from a '57 Studebaker logging truck(hence the larger fender openings and late '56 on grille. It had a stamped steel grille before). The chassis

For once I am upset that you didn't include one of my nominations for one of these things. None of the cars on this list has HALF the displacement this thing has. None of them has more than a third the torque. None of them was actually made in a shed by a guy with a dream. You put up the 750, but not this. That is

This car, which has a 27 liter Rolls Royce Merlin out of a WWII Fighter plane of some kind. The Merlin was used in the Supermarine Spitfire, DeHavilland Mosquito, Hawker Hurricane and P-51 Mustang(albiet under license). It was also used in the Avro Lancaster bomber. I cannot remember what exact version was used in

I like the speedholes Marlin. It seems like a good place for Tom to hide from Jerry.

I have never wanted a race car more than I want that Jaguar. Ever.

My ex lusted after an XK150. Don't ask me why a 150 and not a 120, but the fact that she could tell them apart was part of the reasons we started dating.

That was a Plymouth Fury, until someone with Photoshop got a hold of it.

@FjordGreenPorsche: Also, when you own a full set of 50s vintage body hammers and an un-openned thing of body lead because you "want to do the seams the way Porsche did" on the 356. Believe me, there is no Haynes manual for doing this stuff right.

@facelessnumber: You get to work on Monday and your coworkers have already started a pool to bet on what went wrong on your car that weekend.

@armyofchuckness: You got a job at your favorite parts supplier because you ordered so much. That's what I did, in addition to everything you listed.

When you will turn down sex to go work on the car, you have achieved gearhead.

The Power Hawk was a genuinely good car, I think a little less of the Airflytes... I like seeing at most of the top half of my wheels is all.
