It just looks like a black car.

We were cruising down the highway yesterday and a Panamera was passing us. I turned to my wife and said, "If money were no object I'd probably drive one of those." She looks over and goes, "Really!?!" When pressed as to why she sounds so surprised she told me that it didn't look like anything special, "It just looks like a black car." She was unable to come up with what she thinks I should be driving, and she'd be happy to just keep driving a Soul.

What about you Opponauts? I know we'd all buy as many cars as possible but what would be your commuter if you had all the moneys?

Black car? Like the color or the race? If it's the race chances are you're about to offend someone. Some people can be touchy.

Model SJ Duesenberg. When you want to out-class everybody in the parking lot, accept no substitutes.

If I had all the moneys? I'd have a Silver Shadow II as my commuter.. a green one..

Audi S7, the Rs7 is too exotic for a commuter possibly, an Audi S4 with the 6 speed.

I'm not personally offend, I could care less. But someone might be. Just figured I would let you know.

All the moneys? 8C Monza. Screw comfort, practicality and people who want the accelerator and brake round the right way.

Actually, sod it. I think I'd prefer a 3.0l Montreal :)

This is a joke right? I've seen racism only once on Oppo. Let's just say that person can't write anything on Oppo anymore. We don't take kindly to any kind of discrimination here :)

I might go Silver Wraith:

Or if unavailable, possibly a Corniche.

You'd be doing a public service driving that on the road.

Obviously. I am just trying to post a friendly reminder in case someone was offended apparently I am in the wrong for even suggesting such a thing

I could live with those I guess :P But I've got this thing for the SS II. I don't know why, but I just MUST own one sometime.

Either that or stupid I guess :P

Nope not at all. Apparently if I try to post a friendly reminder I'm a jerk though so sorry about that.

What's stupid about it? Sure it is expensive to run and fix but you're mega rich. You'd surely have other cars if needed, and it should be reasonably reliable as long as you catch up and/or keep up maintenance.

If I could afford one, I would live in a place that this would be moot.

I'm not sure if you're a jerk or not yet.

Sorry. Didn't mean to sound like a dick or anything. I just thought it might be a joke. We're all friends here, and we like to keep it that way. But sometimes my grasp of the English language (or lack there of) and its subtleties makes it sound like I'm a dick.

Again, I'm truly sorry if I made you feel like you did something wrong, because you surely did not :)

If staying 'Murican and going back a bit further, I'd want a late 40's Pontiac Streamliner Eight/Fastback or maybe a '39 Buick.

Based upon a recent driving experience, an RS5. I only need two doors and for most anything I'll encounter on the highway it'll chew it up and spit it out.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a stupid choice. But I bet someone would.

I'd drive a black car, as in a black Town Car tuned to the headliner.

OOhh.. NICE.. But I'd rather have a '52 Buick Roadmaster with a Straight 8 if I'm going American :)

if i had all the monies my truck would have an fr9 & a lenco,

or a 8v-71, lenco, and 2-spd rear.

or a rootes ts3, lenco, and 2 spd rear.

It'd chew the highway up and spit it out.

I can kinda get that, the Panamera isn't the car you want to get to be flashy. It's pretty understated, and in my personal opinion it's ugly. But I know most people like it. I'd probably drive a BMW 2002 or one of the great M5s.

I'm also a big fan of Hudsons. Late 40s Commodore or early 50s Hornet preferred.

We're cool. Just don't imply I'm being racist or that Oppo is waiting for someone to say something the can construe as being racist, ok?

Not sure, but I guess my answer to him could be seen as somewhat not all that friendly, that was my fault and I've told him/her I'm sorry.

I think it is beautiful and it would waft me and my family around in comfort and at unreasonable speeds if I so desired.

I've seen it happen before elsewhere, I just didn't want it to happen to you. I did not think it was racist but I've seen similar posts elsewhere be judged as racist. I didn't want a shit storm to happen to you on Oppo. But jokes on me because I accidentally started one. Sorry. Btw nice profile pic. Always had a fetish for old pre war cars.

ddavidn > CalzoneGolem 03/10/2014 at 11:29

I can definitely agree on the comfortable and reasonable speeds. My ridiculous four-door choice (because my M5 is so reasonable...) would likely be a Quattroporte.

if I had enough money to by those cars I wouldn't be commuting. As a DD I'd probably pick up a Cayman.

To think - the 90s Vantage weighed close to two tons, and yet the men at Aston Martin managed to squeeze 600bhp out of that supercharged V8 in its later years, propelling it to 200mph. Weighs as much as a planet, goes like the starship Enterprise.
