Speed? Oh come on. Having read through your posts, you'd probably pooh pooh anyone who drives more than 1 mph over the speed limit. Heck, it sounds like you'd be okay with putting up cameras every 50 yards along all roadways and fining anyone who ever breaks the speed limit. I agree though, some vehicles are a little more "fun" to drive, but 95% of the driving that most people do isn't the "fun" type of driving - it's commuting to and from work. In just a few weeks, the threat of a hard freeze overnight will be gone. After I get out of work, I can drive to one of the lakes with my boat and cruise around in that instead for fun. I'd reckon that 190HP in a boat on a quiet lake is a little more fun than an RX whatever it is in the middle of Queens, NYC.
I think the number plate is a bit of a giveaway...
As far as best supercar to also use on the roads .... I'd take a Caddy CTS-V over any BMW or Benz, or even better, a new ZR1.... all the comforts of an american car, but enough power to destroy the flying spaghetti monster and magnificent handling.... what a great car ...
lolol, whenever we want to actually do something useful we borrow my brother's Grand Caravan. I think it's a 1996 that he paid $900 for about 3 years and 80k miles back.
It's helped us move so much stuff back and forth, but the damn thing can't do more than 55 when the AC is on in the summer. And it's hilarious because it's this awful maroon purplish color. lol
He loves the damned thing to death.

i wonder if a ford 302 would fit in one? although i suppose for value you'd keep the 260 in there. 302 would make a good alpine mod, maybe
How ironic! In the background, behind that more or less useless black vehicle, is a dodge caravan. My favorite is the grand caravan. Any car that starts and runs is good for the primary use: getting from point A to point B. Yours has no utility other than that. Some people might think their vehicle helps get them laid. I'm married, so my grand caravans are N/A in that department, likewise, I believe you've mentioned a few times here that you're N/A in that department as well. Why is the grand caravan my favorite? Utility. I'm not sure who put "utility" in SUV, but they suck in comparison (I've owned both a grand cherokee & pathfinder; the pathfinder absolutely sucked donkey balls compared to the cherokee for usefulness.) I can toss 4 kayaks in/on the grand caravan and still have room for all four members of my family. I can easily toss 1500 pounds of stuff inside. Or, if I'm willing to take it easy while driving, probably up to about 2500 pounds in my older caravan. I can haul a 3500 pound boat behind it, or camper, or whatever. It's had little more than oil changes, new tires and new brakes, plus a new muffler at one point because the factory muffler split on the weld. (And this weekend, I changed a rear brake hose.) It's been abused to hell and still has made it to nearly 150,000 miles and is going strong; needs another set of rear tires though later this month.
Weird. My easily does 70+ on the thruway, hauling the boat (3500 pounds) with AC on, a couple kayaks strapped to the roof, and the entire think packed with camping gear.
E-type Jaguar convert. One of the sexiest cars ever.

Favourite? What's that word? It kinda looks like favorite, but where I'm from we don't throw extraneous vowels into words like "favourite", "armour", "colour", "aeroplane", "ye olde shoppe", etc.
