The corvette hasn't changed all that much since 1984...it's long over due for a complete change in look.

I missed this thread initially...an my #1 fav is the 427 A/C Cobra. There's a kit factory in a city next door and lots and lots of them around. The guy in my neighborhood with one drives it around a lot and for some reason he always has a goofy grin?? I got to drive my favorite dream car a couple years back but unfortunately, after driving it, it was no longer my favorite. It was an excellent car and I got to drive it on an excellent road (The road to Whistler) but I guess I'm more of a American Muscle guy. I'm in the drivers seat with the goofy grin this time. Another I've always loved, The one I would get if I won the lottery, The one I almost bought for my first car, the one I've been bugging the wife to let me get, the one I regret not buying when I was single, the one I will eventually get, the one I never get sick of...of course these rims are ugly. Plain, clean, small, good power, sound good and fun to drive.

My wife had a white '92 Mustang 5.0 convertible ... that thing was bad ass but she didn't like it, she didn't like my '75 Corvette I had whenever we got married in '81 either, said it felt like her ass was dragging the ground (wasn't that the idea?) and she had to use a pillow behind the seat so she could reach the pedals.
I bought a new Cessna 172 in '83, so from that day forward all of my personal ground toys were history.

HAY - Two things: 1) The road to whistler, what a road... both the road and the scenery are unreal. Granted, I've only ever made the trip in a series of different rental cars on our way up to a frequent summer vacation spot, but still, the drive is truly memorable. 2) The 5.0 Mustang - my first car (yes, I was spoiled) was a 1990 Red Mustang that looked just like the one above, with much cheaper rims and a mighty 4-cylinder engine... [though of course I still had the 5.0 markers on the side of the car to belie the mousetrap engine under the hood.] I think my single exhaust tailpipe that was about as big as a toilet paper roll probably gave me away, but I still thought the 5.0 magnets were cool.

I'm afraid I've never liked the Gen4 (or 3, or 2) Mustangs. If you're going to build a muscle car, make it look like a muscle car, not a 2 door Escort. They finally got a clue with the last couple generations, particularly the current one. However, I have to agree, the V8s always had a great sound.

I agree, though as a 16-year old with that ride, I wasn't voicing many complaints.

I would have loved to have had a Mustang-anything at 16, instead I had one of these hand-me-downs... A freaking chick magnet, man!

My Dad had a couple of those VW wagons whenever I was a kid ... they were cool, even back then!
