    The best car I ever owned was my first. An Austin 1100 in beige just like the one pictured.

    It was also the first car I had sex in. I may have been on my own at the time.......

    This isn't the 80's...turbo lag is pretty much a thing of the past on most cars, at least anything modern that I've driven.

    I'm sure you're right Al, but you should try a honda with a VTI at least once in your life to know the difference.

    Mine are both the same - a 1998 SL500.

    You can feel the integrity of design and manufacture around you. It drives exactly like a Mercedes - not dissimilar to a 1979 w123.

    There is a feeling of being relaxed and having power available. What I didn't expect is how quiet it is when accelerating - I always thought cars were noisy when accelerating even moderately hard. Without the noise - it feels like an invisible force is pushing you along.

    I might see if I can get a picture from the garage.

    What a great thread.

    I miss the B18C1 that was in my Integra GS-R. It sounded like a mini F1 engine when you let it rev to redline. :)

    Nicest I've driven is a Lamborghini Diablo or a BMW M3 CSL. Nicest I've owned is a 1987 BMW M5. Nothing too spectacular I know.

    Dean Martin...the word "celebrity" is thrown around these days way too easily and cheaply. Dean Martin was a celebrity. Who else came in?? Please name drop away........A friend worked in a bank and Charles Bronson came in. So name drop away please.

    Nicest driven...Rolls Royce Azure . 2 door coupe. 2019.
    Most fun ...my neighbors Dodge Demon. With the drag chip and
    Rims installed. Fastest excelleration to 60mph. 9.9 quarter mile.
    It is as close to Experiencing a cat launch in an F-18 you can come to.
    Trust me.
