I think I’ve set up these requiments before, but I think it’s a good one that cerastes some very different answers, and maybe gets some people out of there comfort bubble of “I only like cars from 72-85", or “I only like cars made in Soviet Russia.”
So here’s the rules, you get three cars, each from a different decade, and Country of origin (Home country of brand no place of assembly). But you get a freebie that does count in the rules. All cars must be for sale ATM, and there is no budget.
First up, 1960, and American. A first year Plymouth Roadrunner
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Next up 1980, and Japan’ 1987 CRX Si, which is a bit of CP, but hey there’s no budget here.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And finally 2000' and British 2997 Lotus Exige S.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And my Freebie. This Manual, 2007 Ram 2500.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Hey you live in Maine? I’m from Maine. just got back from a trip back to my home town, Skowhegan. I'm currently drinking some of the Moxie I brought back with me.

So I take it you like “tuner” cars.

Moxie is the worst soda I’ve ever drank in my life. I’d rather drink Androscoggin water.

Prolbably only 25% of the people I've shared it with here in Wisconsin have enjoyed it. Is unique for sure.

I haven’t been to Skowhegan in a while. I live in Wayne and work in Lewiston.

A bit. There are 5 or 6 sedans I’d rock as “dad cars”, though. GS, IS, 6, 1st gen TSX, various Accords...
