    You fags need some culture. Two picks here, one for cruising with @Doog_de_Jour and the other for surviving the end of the world.

    34 Ford Special Speedster. Coolest art deco hot rod ever made by American hands.



    If the apocalypse is happening, I choose a 1949 Willy's Pickup with a hemi. Fist full of Fuck Yeah!



    If we want to go with some class then Bugatti Royale it is.


    One of my parents best friends while I was growing up had a Willy's Jeep out on one of the islands in Puget Sound that we used to crush around the place scarring deer with. Fuckers got the last laugh though as one ran into his prop plane during take off and killed him. Still, apocalypse car 9/10 for sure.

    The 38 Delahaye is pretty bad ass as well.



    I wanted to stay American though. Also considered a chopped 39 Lincoln Zephyr.



    But if you are going that way with an American car, why not just go with the 49-51 Merc? God I love these.

    All great cars!
    My dad drove this when I was growing up.


    And this always stirred my soul

    My Daddy used to own a small Chevy / Oldsmobile dealership on the 80s. Sad to see how far Oldsmobile has fallen by then.

    That ‘66-67 442 was a rocket with a light front end. Dad used to lift the front wheels when he got into it. Late models had big engines but weren’t the same.

    If I'm going to go all in on a fantasy I'll never obtain on a gas pumper's salary, I'm for the moment Henry Ford II told Enzo Ferrari "You can't beat America, bitch."

    More realistically, a nice early to mid 70s Datsun Z is probably the next classic car bubble to exploit.

    Realistic goals, I'd like to get my hands on an early 90's Nissan 300ZX TT aka "Z32 Fairlady"







    Totally unassuming Ferrari killer that you can go crush some canyons with on pacific coast highway. Also still pretty reasonably priced.

    My second favorite UCLA alum behind @BallSacked used to drive that car in the late 90s. When I had a drink with him in LA a couple of years ago, I was disappointed when he merely showed up in an Audi A6.

    I bought the truck when I lived in Mukilteo - then moved - people ask why I moved and I explained that I was forced to move because my truck was too large. Now it is too small...

    I've always been a huge fan of the 71-72 Chevelle SS or Malibu.





    Also the 64-65ish Mustang Hard Top. Both are super simple and clean, subtle monsters.
