What about you, Kim? What are your thoughts?

That's great. I have been thinking about trading up for a clean C7. My C6 has almost 130k happy miles on it. It still runs fine. Wishing you many happy miles in yours.

I have to say that I pretty much agree with what you said earlier.

I have owned two Acura Integras in the past (driving them to work on twisty two-lanes for about 15 years, 32 miles each way, in all kinds of conditions) and they were the best handling cars I have ever driven, really fun and economical to drive. I was getting 35 mpg on my last one with 237,000 miles on it. I also had a 1969 BMW 1600 that was also fun to drive, but nowhere near the Integra. I wrapped that one around a tree.

I have heard and read good things about both, but I would opt for the NSX. Alas, both of them are way out of my price range.

The last three photos are not mine.

My favorite car for styling was the Lamborghini Miura (beautiful car), but not too practical and from what I've read, a little too light on the front end at speed.

I live way up in Northern Michigan, so a convertible is not a very good option. But if I were to pick one it would be a Shelby Cobra, or a Lotus Super Seven.

My very first car was a 1957 Chevy, Bel Air, 2-dr hardtop, 283 c.i.d., 4-speed with Hurst shifter that I got in 1969. Everyone else was getting one of the "Pony Cars".

And despite all the great cars that I take photos of, I actually drive a very mundane 2016 GMC Acadia, AWD. It does the job and is very comfortable.

I have a 98 C5 convertible, plain white beautiful car, 6 speed manual with the handling package, most fun to drive of any car I’ve owned.

Many of the "gear heads" on this board are very happy with the "dream" cars you show. Americans are far more oriented towards cars than most other nationals. The term "muscle" originated in Detroit, not Paris or London. The "pony" cars came came from Detroit. Most automotive trends begin on our shores. European automobiles were targeted towards upper echelon citizens but Henry Ford and his friends made certain that the common man or woman could afford to own a car in America. To the average American Detroit was the source of automotive solutions for the post WWII era. And Detroit responded mightily. Street racing became the national game. Your '57 Bel Air was an ass-kicker of wide renown. I spent my formative years in Dayton, Ohio. Dayton was more GM than Detroit ever was. Chevrolet, Buick, and Pontiac were racing the streets of Dayton, Ohio when everyone else was sitting still. Dayton's own "Ohio George" Montgomery was the first professional drag racer in America. The Henry Ford Museum gave him that title. He is also a most respected engine builder in America. You mention northern Michigan and convertibles. I have been around that area for seven decades and do not remember ever seeing a Cobra or Lotus. Doesn't mean they are not around. There are more collectors in this area than many people realize. Many auto execs from Detroit retire to this area. Weekends in the Grand Traverse region are rolling car shows. i tour with a Corvette club and we have as many as 30-35 cars on a tour. People from downstate come here to tour. It is a great place to motor for enjoyment. The automobile and our Interstate Highway System were major players in the development of America. America responded well. I have been fortunate to have travelled America and most of the northern hemisphere, except Asia. Nowhere have I ever seen the desire and attitude towards driving as I see here in America. And Americans have developed the attitude that it isn't WHAT you drive but HOW you drive it that matters most. As a young lady once told me, "Drive it like you stole it and the fun gets better."

Interesting Kim.

Absolutely love that shade of red! Love the C8 and what it represents but I sure wouldn’t be a bit embarrassed to have the NSX.

for the reliability and durabilty,you can't beat a honda. for collection value i'd say corvette,and open air is always a good thing!

It true about Honda, the are pretty reliable, I had an Accord coupe that I loved. But there is something about cruising in your Corvette.
