Coolest T.V. - Movie Cars

[Joe Shlabotnik]

45. Well put and thanks for sharing

I'm a bit of gear-head (though definitely not a professional), and I agree: There is a long beautiful history/tradition that is now gone. I understand oil prices, and environmental concerns etc have made these rolling pieces of art rare, and largely out of price range for most of us. In a perfect world everyone would drive Prius's, EXCEPT anyone who would lovingly build, re-build and maintain a classic or a hot rod (Their environmental impact would be almost nonexistent). I'm 40, and at my age I know many people (my age) who have never had the fortune of driving great cars like a 60 Cadillac, 64 Thunderbird, 73 Challenger, 65 Chev impala, 86 grand national and a few home-made hot rods also. Sadly there not much new out there that captures the imagination, or is affordable to the average person. (Personally, the only exception would be (if I could afford one) would be a new SRT Challenger, which I would quickly make "death-proof".)
