Had a Fiat 128 for a couple of years. lime green.  First few months were great, then the head warped.

It was really a neat little car, other than maintenance issues.  Amazing traction in the snow.

D Types were only made from '54-'56.  If that's an authentic D Type, it's worth millions.

Hey, if someone gave me a '32 Duesenberg the first thing I would do is take it for a spin.  :ohyeah:

Yeah, I don't care for the idea of "trailer queens" or museum pieces.  Cars need to be driven, at least sometimes.  What I really appreciate seeing are these races at places like Goodwood where priceless race cars are competitively driven, often by aging race car drivers from a past era.  Those old guys still like to race and they don't really care if the cars get trashed.

A friend of mine, we went through high-school together and ended up working for the same company, had an early '60s Vespa Scooter.  Living in the same neighbourhood, we would meet up and go to work together either walking or on the scooter.  He was a big guy, well over 6' and a bit plump and I was about the same height and a bit skinny.  I often think that we must've looked pretty funny sitting on that little scooter, him driving and me on the back.  It seemed to move along pretty well though.

AutobahnSHO

On the drive home:

1- A CR-Z with really tacky large wing, anime stickers, and one that said "slowasf*ck".

2- A super duty pickup with a trailer. And a CTS coupe on the trailer, with those cool color change paint jobs (green/purple). And drag wheels- super fat rears that took up more than the fenders and tiny skinny tall rims with 4" wide tires on the front. :confused:
