Some of my all-time favorite cars
Thursday, November 8th, 2007Many, many years ago, I realized that the cars that I drooled over weren’t the same as the cars that my friends admired. I never much cared for Mustangs or Camaros, or even Lamborghinis. In fact, just about everyone has more mainstream tastes in cars than I do. Today I present to you a peek into the mind of Dorri.
Porsche 928.
If you’ve ever seen the movie Risky Business, you’ve seen a 928. You probably didn’t realize it; most people don’t. For most folks it doesn’t have the presence that a 911 has.
Favorite feature: the headlights. They point up at the sky when not on, then swivel forward when in use. I love it.
Jaguar XJS.
What’s not to love about this one? Apparently a lot; they go for next to nothing in the used car market. Which is a good thing for you and me (unless you own one you are trying to sell), as that means affordability for the common folk (that’s me).
Favorite feature: the engine. As a wise man* once said, “everyone should own a 12 cylinder car before they die”.
BMW 850.
Technology meets style. There’s no denying the visual appeal of this one. Introduced in 1991, it still looks strikingly modern.
Favorite feature: just look at it.
In summary:
What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
*It seems as though many wise men said this, as a simple Google search will attest.
