I vote for something classic, like a 917 or a 550 or something...
As much as I like to drive, and now ride, I know they are just stepping stones to my real love!

David man, I've got to disagree with you. If I could have some one do a custom painting just for me, no way in the world would I make it be of a random classic car I may like. That seems kinda meaningless. It may be just his current car right now, but I'm sure it's memorable, I'm sure it has stories. I bet it's his first Porsche.
The way I see it, if it's your car -and you love cars, it's worth remembering, thus captured in painting. I mean, I love the Ferrari F430 and Volvo P1800... but I would take a painting of my 1994 Ford Probe over those. Seriously, I would.
Sure, he might find a car he loves more later down the road. But what a great way to remember one of the stepping stones that led up to that! Twenty years from now he can look back on that painting and remember so much more than just a previous "current driver."
