They had to pay Ricardo extra to mispronounce Cordoba.

The question was "any 5 cars". Most of the lists I see have museum pieces - to be dusted and polished, not driven.

Chevy pickup, 8' bed, 4wd (you always have to haul of pick up something)
Mini Cooper, Cooper S (around the town go cart)
Corvette, 2012 GS Conv (because I'll need a rag top)
Lamborghini Gallardo (girlfriend likes these)
Lexus LS sport (big car for road trips)

Those are still good choices, if you maintain antiques you can drive them. Leno drives a lot of his and I have a 41 year old car that I had to use after my 30K 98 Boxster blew up. Its also true the thread just said favorite cars and the ones he chose are cool.

Leno has more money than most 3rd world countries. But, yes he does drive what he has.
I view a "car" as something that is used to go to work, the grocery store, McDonalds and the golf course. I stand by my statement that many of the vehicles people have listed are museum pieces, pretty to look at and would only be driven on or off a car carrier, on a Sunday with no weather in sight.

Interesting choices everyone. Most of you have an Italian Super car on the list.

Lets keep this rolling.

Chris B 02-11-2012 03:03 PM

I could give you a different list every time I'm asked the question! But as of today, here's the top 5:

1963 Ferrari 250 SWB
1967 Lamborghini Miura
1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda
2005 Ford GT
2011 Corvette GS Convertible

So if Porsche didn't exist, my choices of a car that I "can" have, would be something in the same price range of a used 986, that is, a car worth up to $25k. I paid almost $23k for mine. I can't have a Lambo etc due to price.

1. 2006 or newer Miata with a few grand of suspension, wheel, tire, intake, exhaust, and ECU mods. Then I'd bank the other $10k.
2. I'm thinking
3. used Subbie STI
4. S2000 with a CARB legal S/C
5. E46 M3

My not so supercar-ish list:

1. 1929 Ford Model A w/ Rumble Seat
2. E-Type Jag V12 Convertible
3. 1973 Corvette Stingray
4. 1971 Triumph TR-6
5. 1965 Ford Mustang
