Most cars are vehicles of dreams. They are also the carrier of our souls, believe it or not. At speeds around each bend and corner they navigate and carry our bodies to our destination, while protecting us from the environment and harm. They project our likes, and dislikes, our personalities, our tastes and our desires.

Its no surprise that car enthusiasts comes in all forms, just like the car.

When a user picks a lambo, he is either an Italian car lover, admirer of hand crafted engineering precision, or a 10 year old kid who picks the car that is most visually striking and stands out; not unlike the photo-shopped model on the front of the glamour magazines.

But beneath the glamorous popular choices, beneath the veneer of social acceptance, of bright and angular equals performance and status, of horsepower equals bragging rights, of status and the status quo;

What cars do you love and why do you love them? Pop choices need not apply. (unless you really have to :) )

I used to love lambos as a kid. For the reasons your said I suspect. Now I am more of a Porsche fan. I love that their simple design has been carried on throughout the years. Its like a piece of history to me. I also love the mid and rear engine design they use.

Hi! :) I was no different, I used to love the lambos as a kid too. :)

I find the Porsche and its grip traction on the Rwd RR layout configuration just amazing! I can understand how its like a piece of history to you and many others who appreciate the legacy.

As a kid I loved everything Corvette. The classic sports car shape, V8 engine, and they sounded glorious. Now that I've grown up a little, I can still say I love Corvettes.

This is the car that made me fall in love with them. Street Tuner Challenge was one of SPEED channels best shows.
