    I like the look of the new Dodge Challenger. That was the first car I remember, as my dad had one.

    I wasn't around back in the muscle car era, but my dad and his friends were all about them and it rubbed off on me.

    I was hoping for my uncle to sell me his '69 RS/SS 396 Camaro, but alas, he didn't.

    The new cobra and shelby mustangs are so sexy but the new Camaro SS is awfully attractive.

    I don't know what my next car will be, but I think I know what I'll name her when it's time to send Ethel to the old car's home.

    Tallulah.

    I know the amputee jokes have already been done. I'm late to the thread. So shoot me. Just thought this one was appropriate. Three wheels, and it even looks like a toe:

    Pretty much all American cars from '74 to '93 sucked.

    Some sort of prototype electric car called the "Corbin Sparrow". It was, apparently, for sale at one point but has been sold:

    There are other pictures of the car on the link, shot from different angles. One is of the rear. It kind of looks like a smiley face.

    EDIT: Some more searching turned up everything you ever wanted to know about the Corbin Sparrow.
    http://www.hightechscience.org/sparrow.htm

    Only a few hundred were made, around the start of the decade. For only the price of a regular new car ($13,900), you too could zoom around town for 35-45 miles on a single charge (which takes six hours). Of course, you'd be zipping by yourself since the car is a single-seater. And the trunk only has room for six grocery bags, so a big trip to the store or moving furniture is probably out too.
    Remind me again why electric vehicles haven't taken off yet?
