We all have our automotive dreams. Some cars make sense to other people, others not so much. Here are my completely irrational automotive attractions. Let's start off with the Lincoln Mark V.

It's 19.2 feet long, with a 460 under the hood. If you accelerate hard enough, your tailpipes will scrape due to the sheer floatiness of the suspension. It's slow, big, and even more of a middle finger than a CL.

Fiero GT. Yup, the classic "average coke dealer" car. It was crap, but I still love it. It is america's mid-engined sports car for the masses.

Although it isn't as good as an MR2, the fact that you can shoehorn a Supercharged 3800 V6 or a 5.3 from a FWD Impala SS in there makes up for it.

If anyone has any experiences of the above cars, please comment. I would like to know what it is like. I may pick one of these up in the fall, if I can afford it.

I would rock either of those for the right price. Both are pretty cool IMHO. I've ridden in a very nice final model year top of the line Fiero before. It was way nicer and faster than i'd ever suspected they were.

The Lincoln has been my dream for many years. Don't care it can't go fast, don't care I can't park it anywhere, just mega wants. In fact I am quitting my job in about 3 months, so I can get a masters degree in economics, so I can have a better job, so I can go buy one. I want one more than life itself.

Disco-era Lincolns are absolutely glorious. But you'll have to sell a kidney to fill one up. I owned a '78 Town Coupe as a broke-ass kid in 1986 and still miss it.

The obscene size is the appeal of it. It's 45.8 inches LONGER than an H1.
