Man, if my dad would've kept his '99 Tahoe, I would do that to it.

I want another 80's Bonne with a 3800. That engine bay just went for days.

Oh I wish they had have kept the Atlas 4.2 alive! It makes me miss my parents Trailblazer. If only it didn't have the worst panel alignment known to man.

I really, really, really wanted to like the V8 Bonneville. But this car commits too many sins to get over my hump. FWD V8 (Check), Northstar (check), Finnicky transaxle not at all prepared for V8 levels of torque (check). Three strikes and you're out.

They made up for it later with the G8 (and again with the SS), but it still hurts me to not like this car.

The fetish comes in where I want the XJ 100% Stock and the beetle I want ratty, but not artificially ratty

I'm not huge into supercars either. There are some I love, but I prefer average cars.

I do alove virtually everything Porsche does though.

And I almost put the Lambo Urraco on this list.

I should have specified I dont like MODERN supercars. I just dont see what all the hubbub is about. I love porsche too, and I dont consider anything made by porsche a supercar, more like a sportscar (minus the cayenne and panamera obviously)

I was gonna say those aren't necessarily weird. I love Fox bodies(not just Stangs but anything Fox based), I had a Bronco, and I'm pretty sure everyone loves El Caminos and Ford woody wagons.

At least it started a succession of V8 powered Ponchos. I also love the GTO, though that's a less weird fetish.

I must have re-read this review 100 times back in my early enthusiast days.

CGT and 918?

I liked the last generation of Ferraris, like the F430 and 599, but the new ones turn me off. I like the Huracan and Gallardo, but not in a crazy omg gotta have em way and I can leave the Aventador. The P1 and 650S are meh to me. Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Pagani are cool but I don't lust after the cars.

Supercars don't do it for me like they did in the days of NFS Hot Pursuit 2, and even then I preferred the Ford Falcon, Holden Monaro, SVT Cobra R, etc..

Ok, The carrera and the 918 are supercars. I like the harucan and the gallardo as well. Its the Big supercars that do nothing for me like the enzo or the murcialago

I actually like the Enzo and Murci, they were THE supercars when I was in middle school and getting into cars, especially the Enzo.

Everything Buick. And random early-90s late-80s GM obscure boxen.

I love all the boxy 80s American crap. Not sure why. I like boxy car in general come to think of it, but 80s Detroit junk is my favorite kind.

yeah I only consider them weird because if I were to tell someone (not necessarily jalop) I wanted one, they'd look at me like I had 3 heads... they're just not necessarily cars you would expect a 21 year old to like.

Plus I just had to put the woody cause my great aunt had one growing up and I loved it lol. It breaks my heart that when she passed my grandmother sold it for like 3 grand to someone down the street.... She had no clue what it was worth

I'm 23 so my choices are just as questionable for someone my age. And my grandfather had one of these. I should have added it to the list.

yeah I come from a long line of car obsessed lol, grandpa has a ferrari 308 gts, other grandpa had a 64.5 stang, dads first car was a '71 mustang fastback, then had an old celica, uncles got a c2 vette, the other one has a 370z and a c7 vette, cousin has an s2k cr, an EVO 8....

And I drive a shitty 99' CR-V because my parents bought it after the '99 civic SI I drove got totaled and I only got like 2 grand back from the insurance company cause it had 350,000 miles. Sucks to suck I guess lol
