Pick a car that was in showrooms the day you were born that you want . When you stare down the barrel of a birthday ... divisible by 10, you start to think.

I can’t think of a single vehicle from 1994 that I want off the top of my head.

I’m mostly limited to Autotrader, but the E38 7 Series will always be cool.
Honourable mention to this V12 Merc SL. Wrong colour and stupid wheels, but it’s still cool.

I’ve been in a 928 mood lately so I’ll go with that.
I really want to get a 928 and drive it all winter. Imagine a bright red V8 Porsche with Blizzaks sliding through the snow.

You mean to tell me I have two years to get an old Dodge truck, a Golf wagon, and a Kia Forte?

I’m 51 at the beginning of next month. I would have said a ‘68 Dodge Charger, but, as I’m getting older, I’m leaning towards the personal luxury coupe. This Buick Riviera hits the spot real nice.
Beautiful, but not flashy.

So easy, no ambiguity, no pondering this is it.

So I just looked at your pick after I posted mine, geez, I thought I was old. Unfortunately chasing the market for an e-type my whole life, when I was in college they were cheap, but I was in college, actually a couple came up that I could afford, but even as a young kid I figured even if I could afford to buy a clapped out e-type, I couldn’t afford or rely on a clapped out e as my daily transportation.
I could afford an Austin Healey Sprite, and drove one. As I am writing this and reminiscing I remember one day in 1979 or so I was driving my somewhat clapped out ‘66 Sprite and working as a parts runner and shop guy for a European sports car place called Foreign Auto Parts. One day a guy drives up in a much more clapped out early 60s Guilietta, it is rusty, dented, smoking, has an uneven to idle, he wants to t rade me straight up for my Sprite. Once again, I am poor and this is my way to get to work and school. I tap out, good decision at the time...anyway, I like your topic.

If we’re strictly talking about what was available in the US, I guess Eldorado Touring Coupe. Terrible engine, indifferent build quality, but ridiculously comfortable and such a beautiful body.

pick basically anything from Honda’s 94 lineup with a 5-speed.

Well, that narrows things down. You’re somewhere between 83 years old and a fetus.

I briefly owned an ‘84 Mustang GT T-top with a T-5. I’d take it back in a heartbeat. Too bad the AMC Spirit AMX died the year before I was born.

Oh no, I understand that precisely - and unless I miss the mark completely, that’s a late 60s example.

Yes, I’m closing in on 60, but I got carded until I was 34. Do not know what that means ...
