Default What car from your birth year?
Jalopnik had an interesting premise, what car do you want from your birth year?
http://jalopnik.com/5384908/what-car...ar-do-you-want

Me? It would have to be a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429.

or if I went European it would have to be an Alfa GTV:

After almost 18 years, Ferrari finally admitted that the F90 existed and was made for the Sultan of Brunei in 1988. A brief passage in the 2005 Ferrari Annual outlined an impressive order of six bespoke supercars which were much more daring than anything Ferrari would have produced themselves.

The project was managed by Enrico Fumia, the head of the Research and Development department at Pininfarina. Fumia styled the car very similar to a Pininfarina Ethos Concept car made in the same period.

For me, it's more like "Are there any cars NOT made in 1984 that I would want?" images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

This space reserved for when I have figured out the exact '84 car I want.

1990 BMW 850i, Manual of course. But honestly I´d rather have the 1992 CSI as seen in the picture.

More POWARRR and better handling.
