What to get next?

[Byteme]

Test drive 'em

See which one you like driving more

And which ones I would like to work on.  Which is why new cars are out of consideration. 

[SVT666]

That's a pretty wide variation of cars. What's the common theme between them?

They're all awesome......duh.

[Byteme]

They're all awesome......duh.

We went to look at a green 91 Saturday.  Sold before I got there.    

[omicron]

Ooh, it's so pretty!

[Cookie Monster]

Oh man, that Esprit looks amazing!

[mzziaz]

Older ones are prettier.

[Raza]

Oh man, that Esprit looks amazing!

Yes, that is quite fantastic.  If I wanted to buy that and had found out that it had been sold just before I was able to look at it, I would feel so overwhelmed with the shame of my inadequacies that I would seriously consider seppuku.

[coladin]

Love the Esprit.  On the road, even those o similar to theone picturd, the 91, have such presence.  I love British cars, such style!

[hotrodalex]

Oh man, that Esprit looks amazing!

I must agree.

Needs more horsepower, though...

First thing i'd do is rip out that horrible 90's airbag steering wheel.

[Payman]

Ooooohhhhh yyyyeaaaahhhhh!

[Payman]

Oh my. This is pure man car porn.

[Payman]

It doesn't get much simpler than a 351 Cleveland. The Pantera just went to the top of my list.

[SVT666]

Pantera is awesome but those GTOs behind it are even awesome...err.

[Rupert]

Those are cool cars. Really clean engine bays (except when they're rhino-lined ). Good sized culture.

[Rupert]

And holy bright blue seats!

[Soup DeVille]

If you're looking for a DeTomaso, try finding a Mangusta.

And the 5 speed dog leg transmission.

That adds to its charm. Its like those K-cars with the razor sharp 80s bodies and the monstrous 1st gen airbags. Its a period-correct piece

GM, Pontiac, IIRC.

Yeah, it's correct... I'd store it away and replace it with a nice Nardi or similar. I couldn't drive an Esprit having to look at a cheap GM parts bin wheel all the time.

Not as sexy.

Beautiful cars .

The best part is the sound and they're so much fun to drive.

[Rupert]

If you drive a Pantera, you have to always be blasting Pantera.

No, they've long since catastrophically oversteered into a lake and burst into flames.

[Raza]

How do you burst into flames while in a lake?  That wouldn't work.  It would be like trying to smoke a cigarette in the shower.

Maybe it was a grease fire.

Been there, done that.  It can be done.

[Raza]

Hmm, I'll have to try it again. 

Wait, which one are we talking about?  I don't remember you being a smoker...

Years and years ago.  Smoked everywhere.  Made Patty and Selma look like pikers.
