For me, most of the sports cars people drool over don't do a thing for me. I couldn't even imagine having a FWD unless it was an old Eldo or Toro.

Jesda, funny finding you here! ben72227 02-05-05, 01:38 AM Is there something about the '88 Cimmaron that we should know about?
Well, just like the '85 Eldo, the '88 Cimmaron was probably the best model year for the car. I've always had a facination for the Cimmaron (probably because they're so rare nowadays) and just the whole notion of a REALLY small cadillac that was supposed to compete with the BMW 3-series. Not to mention that by 1988 the Cimmaron actually looked (IMO) pretty good... 1) 1965 Astin Martin DB5
2) 1965 Shelby GT350R
3) 1955 Mercedes Bens 300SL Gullwing Coupe
4) 1969 Mustang Boss 429
5) 1956 Maserati 450S
6) 1930 Cadillac V16 Phaeton
7) 1932 Maybach Zeppelin DS 8
8) 1973 Porsche 917/30
9) 1969 Corvette ZL-1
10) 2002 BMW M3 GTR
That's only a few of the many cars I wish I owned. Out of these ten, my favorite would have to be the 1965 Astin martin DB5. The true gentleman's sports car. :D
