I like 'em...they're sharp cars. Olds really had a great lineup over the past 5 years...no one bought 'em though.

GM's fault. You could get a Buick for the same money, with more preceived prestige.

Ah, those Mini Coopers are sweet...

The first car I drooled over as a kid was a Jaguar SS100. It may not be the best by today's standards, but damn is it cool.:

I know a guy that has a kitcar version of one of those. Fun to ride in. I'm still more a bike person I'm looking at buying one of these but it's hard to justify when I probably won't be here for all that long:


S4 or an 800, maybe a 1000 if I was feeling really badass. New boots, nice leathers...awwwwyea. They're nice low bites, perfect for me, I love the riding position, seats are a little hard I'll admit.

I remember when this car came out the double-page ad said:

"Lord Vader, your car is ready."

I've wanted one ever since.

I always thought that a black Lambourghini Countache would be Lord Vader's Staff Car.
