Pathetic as it sounds, the most powerful car I have ever driven is a 1.8 litre Golf automatic, nothing more flash than that I am afraid, although it would be great to have a play behind the wheel of something more fancy

Some sort of Porsche 944 or something...incidentally, if you make it onto private property before the police get their lights on, they aren't allowed to ticket you or anything.

Theben regularly drives our father's Porsche. In fact, my father is now referring to it has "Theben's" car (no, he doesn't say Theben).

Poor Theben, working as a manager in a poor neighborhood, managing all those poor employees, given him a job by his Daddy driving a Porsche. There has got to be some serious resentment going on there.

In Illinois, they can ticket you without ever turning on their lights.
I.E. Tickets from camera's.

If they have cause, they can also come on private property. If you fly by them at 120, it's cause. (whether their lights are on or not)


But feel free to test it at your earliest convenience.

A friend of mine blew a summer's fishing wages on the car below - a 1971 Porsche 911. The thing was a fantastic ride, though I had to earn my keep by helping him tune the carbs every two months or so - which sucked.

Bah! This happened in Rockford, IL. After yelling at us for a good five minutes, they admitted they couldn't even issue a warning. My best guess is that they couldn't do anything because they didn't clock us, even though they knew we were going over 90 in the middle of town.

I worked at Kohler Dodge as a porter when I was 17 and I got to drive about 10 different Vipers, a few Dodge Durango DT's, and a whole lotta mini-vans. BTW people, don't leave spare change in your car when you get it serviced. When I was a porter I stole so much change, I went home with a sock-full a day.

Other than that, I'd have to say my Uncle's Mercedes S600. There's a guy down the block from where I live who owns a Lotus (he's got a sh!tty house too hahaha) but he won't let me drive it.

I've owned a several cool cars I enjoyed driving. Perhaps the one with the most personality was "King Herod", a 1972 Ford Gran Torino wagon I bought for $450 and ended up driving for five years. Seven headlights, six horns, and one bowling trophy hood ornament.

My favorite car was this 1970 Lincoln Mark III which I owned for about 9 years. Gorgeous and powerful, what a treat to drive - sitting behind that six foot hood felt like steering an aircraft carrier. Through the dual Flowmaster mufflers the 450-4bbl (365 horses) sounded like a symphony in stereo. Drove it to work every day. Wow, I sure miss that car!

Here's what I'm driving now. It's a YongJiu ("Forever" or "Everlasting"), a venerable Shanghai name brand. I'm told this model was based on 1930's British bicycles. Comes in one size: towering (28"). Like the name says, it's built to last - check out the fully-enclosed chain. No brake cables either, this number's got steel pushrods instead! Favored by peasants who need something durable to transport heavy loads, it's built like a truck ... and weighs like one, too. Lucky Shanghai has the topology of an ironing board. Cost all of US$40 brand new! The bell is required by law.

cia - bonus points for even recognizing it! I wasn't sure anybody even would! Love 'em or hate 'em kinna cars, from what I've seen, but I've always been fascinated by them.

Had the good fortune of driving one that lives in Washington state....and even then, I had to PROMISE the owner I'd not get...you know...too carried away.

Drives like a dream tho....one day....one day....

I'm not very big on American muscle cars, especially the ones where I'd worry about the seat giving out due to rusting.

Personally I find that car hideous, and something tells me it had a 10000L engine and 4mpg.

Now THAT'S true, Baggins.


And Asher, I know it wouldn't matter if I had said a Silver Cloud Rolls Royce , you'd have found it "hideous".
That's why I don't let your opinion concern me.

That incidentally reminds me of a joke that Robbie Coltrane made during a show where he was driving a Cadillac across the US. The joke was essentially about him stoping for gas. The gas attendant attempting to fill the tank said, 'could you turn the engine off please? I can't keep up'

Why would I think a Silver Cloud Rolls Royce would be hideous? That's a very nice looking car. Very upscale and looks powerful at the same time.

American 60s and 70s muscle cars though, bleeeeeech. Unoriginal, boring, drab, gas-guzzlers, hugely inefficient engines every way possible, poor overall handling and acceleration due to the mass. The only thing it has going for it is nostalgia, just admit that.
