by Work For Food…so true
A friend presented a scenario where a relative dies and leaves a trust with which you must buy five cars to use and enjoy—not to garage or use as art pieces. To follow are my five choices.
5. Chevrolet Camaro
Taking cues from my favorite model year(s) of the first generation Camaro (1967–69), the 2010 Camaro has finally brought back the street presence it abandoned so long ago. This is a beautiful car from every angle; every detail is classic. I only hope that this car doesn’t lose its beauty as quickly as the current Mustangs have for me. This would be my “Guilty Pleasure”.
4. Mazda MX-5 Miata
I have wanted one of these since 1989. The roadster that recaptured the fun and style of the old British MGs and Austn-Healeys can be had for a fair price. This would be my weekend getaway car.
3. Jaguar XF Supercharged
I have never been a Jag fan, apart from the classic E-type from the 60s. But this…this has the familiar lines of Ian Callum’s Aston Martins with two more doors and a thoroughly modern interior. I love the pulsating start button and the rotary switchgear. This is my family hauler.
2. Mercedes-Benz CLS500 AMG
I love the shape of this car. The power is also nothing to laugh at…the AMG version gets a bigger tuned engine and some great looking wheels. This is my “night on the town” car. Limo tint makes for that “A-lister” feeling.
