So go vote for smart people! There was a Libertarian that ran for state governor in Georgia, he got my vote simply because he had a doctorate in materials Sciences and Engineering (From Georgia Tech, a public university that isn't known for handing out degrees to rich people). I figured I would rather have an…

Porsche 911 with velocity stacks (in this case a Singer)

"I'll have some crumpets with my tea please"

This is a Le Rhone 9C

Porsche's one and only V10.

This era of Briggs engines. Hardly any moving parts, you can abuse the living shit out them, wait to change the oil until its turned to sludge, fix it with rudimentary tools, dirt cheap to buy. They'll run forever and ever.

I'll go with Peerless. I'm a sucker for chrome and all, but there is just something to be said about integrating brass. Not to mention the pairs of cylinders standing proud like independent factories that cohesively accomplish the central task of propulsion, and the guided, yet utilitarian plumbing and wiring that…

The Cosworth-developed Singer flat-6 is gorgeous, IMO:

Damn - I was going for this (but I have to admit as my 3rd choice).

The 91 cubic inch supercharged inline 8 cylinder Miller engine that powered several Indy 500 winners in the mid 1920's was an absolute jewel and was good for 250 horsepower.

1937 Nimbus.

No, it's not missing a valve cover. It's just that cool.

Auto Union V16

Love it or hate it, but it's polarizing to look at.

Alfa Romeo 8C...

The inline-8 that Bugatti used through its heyday remains a classic piece of Industrial Age sculpture, all clean surfaces and balanced proportions.

Those hand built miniature V12s definitely top my list. A true work of art and hard work dedicated to the most miniscule details. To top it off its a real working and running engine. I would love to have one sitting in my house.

The CTR motor isn't all that pretty, but this photo is just so cool I couldn't resist.

To be fair, it was limited to an extended test drive but man...underwhelmed, though that may have to do more with expectations rather than delivery.

5.) What If I Need To Tow?

Other than missing a few doors, I love it!
