    Ok say you could afford the insurance/tax/fuel costs on a 5 litre Chevrolet Camaro or something similar (not even limited to classic cars, just day to day drive) I would probably go with the Saturn L300 sedan

    Lincoln Town Car (the older model) for when you have to drive six hundred miles but don't want to leave your armchair. I had one of these for three months and loved it, but my god did it love unleaded. And burnouts with the traction control switched off. American cars don't really 'do' corners very well. The Town Car is typical of this, needing written notification of upcoming sharp turns.

    A 1958 Edsel Pacer convertible (my parallel parking wouldn't be up to a Citation). Or a 66 or 67 Mustang but I'm not that much of a boy racer.

    edit: Pacer pictures (about 140k each, both of the 2-door hardtop. Actually I might go for the hardtop instead - the convertible came with a rubber floor instead of the hardtop's carpet)

    I like loads of American cars. Muscle cars, land yachts, pickups, pre war Cords and Dusenbergs, Tuckers with engines from a helicopter etc. etc.

    Off the top of my head, I might go for a Boss Hog style Cadillac Eldorado convertible with a 500 ci engine. Or maybe a mid sixties Lincoln Continental pillarless convertible similar to the one JFK used (minu blood stains and brain matter hopefully)

    How about an AMC Pacer? Often regarded as one of the worst cars ever built. Possibly very popular with die-hard Wayne's World fans!
