that's cool.
But some of the other cars that made the list sort of de-legitimize the list for me. :?

LoL. Porsche 944 Cabriolet. Where do they come up with these? you can't get much more obscure. And the Cadillac and Buick? Seriously? Everything else seems kosher.

The Caddy club up here is very active and they have some very enthusiastic members! Not really surprised to see that one on there, as I must admit I am impressed at the shows to see how nice those cars are when paid a lot of attention to.

i used to own a Cadillac Elderado Barritz hard top back in the day. i really loved that car despite having to replace sensor after sensor along with a list of other minor problems that would make the Fiat Spider look like the most dependable car ever built! :mrgreen:

I have always thought the Spitfire was a really great looking car in spite of the Brit mechanicals. I like the idea of rasing the whole "bonnet" to work on the engine.
