Top 10 most awesome cars EVER
I love cars, they are just plain awesome. There is nothing better than the wind blowing through your hair (or in my case, where your hair used to be) as you drive around on a sunny day. Or as you drive over dirt roads in a 4x4. Or as you drive pretty much anywhere, in pretty much anything. Driving is just plain fun! After doing quite a bit of research, ok, I didn't really do any research, these are just my favorite vehicles ever made...
Ferrari
Since watching Magnum PI as a kid, I loved the 308. Of course, we've had a few new editions since Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV saved the day back in the 80's. We've had the 360, the 430 and the 488 and they are all beautiful. From kindergarten through my master's program and to this day, owning this girl is what kept me doing my homework and working hard at my job (Ok, I drive a 15 year-old Acura right now. Maybe I should have studied and worked a little harder!).
Hummer H1
Dodge Caravan
Few vehicles were as original or changed the entire automobile industry like this girl!!! 35 years ago the birth of the minivan was a blessing to big families and soccer teams everywhere. This was a game changer. After nearly a century of automobiles, Dodge invented a whole new type of vehicle! Who else has done that!Tesla
Over the past two decades we have had several electric and "smart" vehicles which generally under-perform and get sorta good gas mileage. Then Tesla came along. Not only is it one of the fastest and safest production cars ever, it also gets 85-90 miles to the gallon! It is also extremely intelligent and in addition to driving and parking itself, you can make fart sounds come out of whichever speaker you want, and then blame it on the person sitting there. No joke, I tried this first-hand. It is awesome. She definitely isn't the prettiest vehicle ever made but she is single-handedly re-writing the future of the automobile industry.
Model T
Few events have change the world like the creation of this guy. The first vehicle that was really mass-produced and affordable for the ordinary Joe, much like the Toyota Corolla of today. Over a century later, I'd still love to put the top down and cruise in one of these!'67 Shelby GT 500
Ok, probably the baddest car ever built! Seriously, just look at that thing for a minute. Silence please. If like me, you teared up a bit just now, it is ok. No need to turn in your man card for getting all emotional over this rocket!
1937 Jaguar
Do I really need to say anything? I'm not really sure why we can't make vehicles this awesome today. Jag makes some cool stuff today, but they are not coming close to the beauty of this girl..
Suburban
The world's longest running production vehicle! And why? Because it is awesome. These guys began production in 1935 and are still running strong today!! Not only can you fit a whole load of people in there, you can tow just about anything.
Dodge Truck
Thank you '90s Dodge for ending the streak of two decades of really ugly trucks. From 1993 to 2002 this guy dominated. Of course trucks were ugly again for sometime after as auto-manufacturers seemed to be having a contest to see who could have the biggest, flattest and most boring grills. Thankfully trucks have gotten much cooler looking over these last few years but this one is still hard to beat.
Corvette Stingray
With nearly all of the looks and performance of a Ferrari, and at a fraction of the price, you only have to be a sorta rich person to buy one of these. I just can't make up my mind, I'd be totally happy with the one from half a century ago or a brand new one rolling out of the factory in Kentucky!
It is incredible to see what the world has brought us since the horse and buggy of not too long ago and I can't wait to see what we'll see in the decades to come!
