    Little turbo cars (domestic or foreign) under 2000 pounds. I have a '88 Mitsubishi Mirage turbo that is a little screamer. Only mods are to the drivetrain (no ricey crap allowed). I'm hunting for an Omni GLH-S, but the earth is slowly reclaiming them.

    Oh yeah, and ginormous big-block powered luxo-barges. My non-Hamb friendly ride is a '69 Olds Delta 88 convertible 2-door with a 455/400 combo. Next on the list will be a '69-72 Lincoln Mark III.

    Customs, and the classics (duesenburg, hispano suiza, buggatti, auburn, etc...). I like all cars for different things. sports cars, muscle and offroad trucks are fun for what they're made for, but I could give two shit what they look like. Hotrods, customs, and classics are the only ones I'll stare at.

    Hmm, Customs. Then I have a 'thing' for 60s race cars, in particular the Cobra Daytona Coupe.
    But then there is old airplanes! Oh hell yeah! Dont get me started, I need to get my ass out to the museum to get my hands dirty on some classic WWII metal....

    Well, I guess to be honest and come out of the closet, I'll list mine.

    Mopar Muscle cars, actually most all muscle cars, but the AMX and Mopar stuff is best!

    Lowered mini-trucks. Why? Hell if I know, never had one. Especially Mitsubishis and Datsuns. (Not Nissans. Datsuns). They look fun to drive, like go-karts.

    Classic lowriders. Fuck yes! Done as they were in the '70s. MonteCarlos, Impalas, fringe around the windows. Murals.There's some really cool ones still in Tucson. Amazing talents on these things!

    Genuine Classic Nascars. The kind that died out in the early '70s. Everything from Torino Talledegas to Matadors. Superbirds and stuff.

    Exotics. Not so much Cobras, but weird stuff like the Vector W2, Lolas, really hard to find US and Euro cars, pre '80s.
