El Caminos or Rancheros.

Wagons, specifically ones that aren’t raised and saddled with hideous plastic body cladding.

There’s one thing it cannot be, though: a regular hearse.

I... am not a photographer, clearly.

My ‘73 Volvo 1800ES. Bought it 20 years ago for too much money, fixed a bunch of mechanical problems, and it was my daily driver on and off for a long time. It’s waiting on some much-needed attention now, but man, does it get looks.

My 69 karmann ghia. A friend of mine knew I was in the market for a drivable project VW. He told me about this ghia. I didn’t think I would have the money for a running and driving decent condition ghia, but it was right down the street so I figured why the hell not. He got me into contact with this sweet elderly…

Pennsylvania? My dad and I used to walk around car lots on Sundays specifically for that reason.

AMC Gremlin.

I have another guilty pleasure car besides the Bricklin SV1 and that’s the Buick Reatta. I loved my ‘88, wish I still had it. Awesome green glow of the CRT touchscreen, seatbelts on the the rear shelf (sorry seats for insurance reasons). Mine was also turbo’d by a previous owner and they set it up like Volvo did for…

Minivans FTW.

1977 Pontiac Can Am. Saw one as a kid and I still want one.

Less cool but equally capable is the HHR SS Panel.

Pinzgauer.
Top speed of “almost”
Crash safety of a large refrigerator box
100s of horsepower? Nah, brah; 87 screaming ponies when new in an air-cooled 4 cylinder
The Chevy Iron Duke motor is an UPGRADE that most people do
Air con? “Air seem fine to me...”

Would I drive it to get a single gallon of milk?
Yes.
Would I drive it…

My 1958 Volvo 444.

Some of the faux retro cars of the early 2000s. The SSR and Prowler specifically. While not exactly good cars, they’re fun styling exercises and really unlike anything else on the road at the time (or now).

‘69 Charger guy some how trying to shoehorn a ‘69 Charger into the conversation. Color me surprised.

My first car, a ‘76 AMC Pacer. I will always maintain it was ahead of its time. Part of me would like to have one again, and swap a turbo 4 of some kind into it. Not mine, but it looked like this:

Bricklin SV-1.

Oh fer fucks sake, you live in texas. Just buy a used beater truck. Spend 10K on something to haul parts and drive through water and if it gets ruined, it’s practically disposable. Then spend 50k on something nice.

Dodge did it best over half a century ago with the ‘69 Charger Daytona:
