 He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

Pleased to say that I own my dream car: a 2000 BMW M5.  If I could add to my collection, I'd add: '32 Duesenberg SJ Dual Cowl Phaeton. '62 Ferrari GTO. '58 Chrysler 300C ragtop.

I admit that I don't know a lot about cars. My only criteria is that it's a compact and it's a "pretty" color.  However, my ex was into classic cars and I really like the looks of many of the models. Some that we had owned in the past: 37 Ford, 41 Studebaker, 58 T-Bird, and a 50 something Cadillac. Although not classic at the time, but I believe now is a 69/70 AAR Barracuda (limited edition) which was our honeymoon car. I'd hate to think of how NOW it would be a real gas hog. I think it got something like 10 miles to a gallon.  I Don't have time to look up pics or I'd post. Anyway, it was so much fun cruising around in these cars, the 37 Ford especially. I know nothing about engines, but man, you open the hood of that car and the motor looks sooooo uncomplicated.  TIS

By the way, do any of you older Board members remember when it was getting near the end of summer and the new cars were about to come out. Do you remember like I do moving heaven and earth trying to find out what the new cars were going to look like? I remember searching magazines like crazy trying to get a glimpse of them. But that was in the days when a car's design was really something to excite a kid. Do kids do that anymore? Yes, I do remember that very well. The TV commercials and print ads would say stuff like, "Coming Octobe 2: the greatest Ford ever"; or "Plymouth: Suddenly it's 1960." You'd get all leaped up, trying to peek through the soaped-up windows of the car dealerships. If the carmaker sponsored a TV show (like Lincoln/Mercury for Ed Sullivan, or Buick for Milton Berle), you'd make sure to tune in to see the new cars on display. Today nobody notices because there's nothing to notice.

"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

My dream car would be solar/battery powered; quiet as the night on a mountain top in the Adirondacks. A very comfortable seat with plenty of leg room, a moon roof, a great sound system with ipod inputs and CD player, a GPS, a nice cup-holder and AC. Also a trunk that would fit my golf clubs or fishing pole and a bike rack. It probably wouldn't be much to look at, but it would be practical, functional, economical and environment-friendly.

I normally don't post personal photos, but this is a really cool thread. This here is my baby. She's my Florida car. A 1976 Eldorado convertible. She only has 34,000 miles on her. The background is the Intracoastal waterway in Delray Beach; just a stone's throw from my condo down there.
Nice, PB! If memory serves, that was the last American ragtop for quite a while, and it had the 501 cubic inch V8. After that, Cadillac became a compact car (Cimarron)
