I'm not much of a car person but I've always envisioned myself in something like this:

total bummer

But it alters the ride.

My Buick Skylark. I loved her so much! Mine was silver with a red pinstripe. There had been a factory recall issue with the power windows motor and when we popped the driver's side door open, it was charred inside. She had a ton of room in the back and trunk, though. I moved several times using just her. Eventually, I ran her into the ground and her transmission went out. I couldn't go in reverse. After a couple of times of getting towed out of a parking place, I learned to get mighty creative in how I parked and entered and exited parking lots.

But think of the gas mileage!

I drive this now, though a different color:

Bufori makes modern cars that look like old 1930s vehicles... every auto is built by hand and they can produce about 300/year. Yes, please...

1975 Falcon:

"My true love drowned
In a dirty old pan of oil
That did run from the block
Of a Falcon sedan, 1969
The paper said '75..."

How did I not see this thread? It is sweeeet!. I love the Chevy's and Rivieras. When I was a teen no self respecting Low Rider would drive a Ford. Times have changed. I had a 1963 Chevy Impala, until I ran that beautfiful ride into the ground.

Now I drive a 2010 Honda CRV. I guess I have changed too.

It's even my favorite color.
