When I was a youngin, this was the Car of the Future ... the Pininfarina "Modulo". Not practical, but disco-rrific! cn



Needs the right operator though.

i found the car for you bear.. :D

Hot diggity! It's Spidercar!

I must say the green one you posted after delights me. I even like the color.

Then I saw that new Challenger which - I admit- leaves me cold. The BS they had to do to recreate the narrownosed look of the original left that awkward acre of paint under the grille. It looks like a badly reskinned 300, the bulldog of modern sedans. Jmo, of course. cn

i was never a big fan of mopars cannabineer.. some of those cars in the 60s were butt ugly imvho, not much shape to them and far from sexy like i like them..
i don't really like the new challenger's that much either as trying to recreate something that i thought was pretty hideous to begin with doesn't sound like the smartest of ideas.. a friend of mine i grew up with though has one so i'm seeing them all the time on my fb, so i thought i'd post that one as well in case anyone is a fan..

that brings us to that green 911.. ahh, yes, i too am a fan of the color as well, but being color blind does have it's advantages, lol.. :D

Here comes the Zonda's replacement ... the Huayra, also named for a South American mountain wind. It's the Nicki Minaj of cars. cn

i still prefer the zonda, especially the zonda r.. the roar that comes from that car is going to be rather hard to match, especially since they went the twin turbo route on the new car(s).. :(

They turboed??

I agree; the Zonda made a wondrous noise that took me back to when Lambos were carbureted. Its habit of spitting fire out of the exhausts on a hard shift is also somewhat engaging ... like the way a Klingon girl wipes the blood off those full lips. OK I'm weird.

I still love the sound of the Lexus LF-A. It costs a house and looks unfortunately like a Celica that hit puberty ... but what a sweet sound. And if you push it. it'll demurely burp fire too. cn
