You know the rules. You get one car to drive every day, and it has to be one of these. Choose.

You know, I want to say the Mustang or the Continental Gt . But hot damn there’s an ice cream truck, and I love  ice cream.

Screw it. I’ll take the 67 Impala sedan.

my mind keeps parsing the two green cars as rust-free EG hatchbacks which is tempting.
I’d go with the Murci (only if it’s a stick) because of 5000 hours of NFS Hot Pursuit 2, otherwise the GTO.

I do see a Toyota in the mix.

I’ve a mid 00s style Corolla in displays like this before, fun toy cars!

Have you been able to check out the new Oppo Universe that jminer and Rally DarkStrike are conjuring up? It’s very impressive.

www.opposite-lock.com

The choice of the Toyota is out of character for me, but the resto of what’s on offer there is way out of character for me, so I’d take the FJ, if that’s what that is.

Yes, that’s an FJ, and it’s a popular choice. It’ll still be there to give to your grand son.

Ha ha! Dammit. That’s some kind of strange bat mobile looking thing with a big gun on a turret. Some kid must have ported it over from the toy aisle before his mother made him put it down. It tried to ditch it off to the side because I figured one in three of this lot would choose it just to spite me. Should have known  I wouldn’t get off that easy.

Urambo had a similar thought.  Not a bad idea.

I don’t care...I love those things, as impractical and likely unreliable (though the ones some of us Opponauts have seem surprisingly reliable?) as they may be!

I’ve never even seen one in person :(

I have. They look like an alien vehicle. But they definitely touch the inner 12 year old.

Insurance is more than willing to, as it would save them money, but the shop is refusing to. I’m gonna go there tomorrow and see what where they’re at on it. I may end up just doing it myself and having insurance pay me back.

My gut instinct was the wrecker, but after (not very) careful consideration, I'll take the red Impala.

Hope it works out for you.

Yeah, I got to poke around one at the work garage. I could definitely make that my one and only car.

Is it going to be scaled up and a real car or do I need to shrink somehow? I like the 206 (always laugh when I see them in a grocery store) but how can I say no to the C ontinental? Can I have an equal value in 206s and Bummers?

I've seen two or three. They are so small in person! But also very well proportioned. The design works better IRL than I thought it would when first seeing those crazy headlights in auto magazines years ago.

Ultimately you can’t say no to an M3 (red one plz)  but I do love the 307, especially in green.

I don’t want to denigrate anyone’s preferences, but I absolutely can say no to an M3. They just don’t rev my engine. But they do for so many others, and I respect that.

There’s one in my basement (which sadly is a shared apartment parking garage rather than it actually being mine). When I was in Houston there was one that was always parked in front of a nearby Italian restaurant.

There are very few cars on that rack that don't rev my engine. The Lambo and Porsche are ok I guess but I wouldn't want to daily one. FJ is cool to look at I guess. Mustang is fun but I couldn't afford the insurance. Same with the Corvette. 307 it is then!

If you prop yourself horizontally first before you start drinking , uphill and downhill don’t matter.

My need to drive strange and unique things leads me to the ice cream truck, but if we’re talking real-world practicality the FJ wins.

Flaming pickup or ice cream truck.

Does ice cream come with the truck?!

This was my second choice. Assuming it’s had a full resto mod job. Good insulation/sound deadening, heat and AC that actually work, Bluetooth audio, modern suspension, and an aluminum block 6.0 LS. With a 6 speed manual.

I think the 8C does it better. They are polarizing but I think they work. I admire the bravery and they are visually interesting. I think they have aged better than I thought they would.

They are pretty gorgeous...th ough, as much as I love it, the 8C is just a Dodge Viper under the skin (a s much as I love the Dodge Viper), so I'd rather have the 4C as it's more of a true Alfa!
