I might go with something like this...



The one pictured is a 1939 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500...but I believe they were still made in '42.

The F40, F1, XJ220, Diablo, etc were all produced in that year and you'd rather have a Peugeot hatchback with 115hp?

yeah but does it have to be a lil French mime box?

your "car of the week" reminds me of something much better that was around in 1993 and isn't a silly old bucket of bolts:

HAH, you missed it by a year.

Well, I was born in Dec of 73 so it's close enough.

My choice, the '68 Mustang, isn't a supercar.  It's a muscle car (or a pony car, take your pick).   :lol:

Don't be too touched, the only person saying that is the only 15 year old on earth who craves a Grand Caravan as his first car. ;)

XT6s are so geeky-cool though. I'd buy one in a second if I could find a nice one, didn't already have a full garage, and was more confident I could dodge the groin kick my wife would let loose when I came home with another car.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Considering Trep doesn't know how to use most hand tools, I'd say we all know more than he does.
