Pick your favorite iconic car from any decade....

Yes, very impressive car. I love that bare-bones concept.

Of course my only experience with it is on the Forza vidya games.

I got to ride in one when I was in HS. Kid I went to school with, his older brother had it. It was a religious experience. I also got to have a similar experience in a genuine Shelby 427 Cobra, holy crap ! 0-100, then back to zero in 10 seconds, assuming you could get it to hook up.

Awesome classic. Bought new or preowned? I would imagine maintenance can be trickier if acquired used.

Thank you. I'm the second owner. I've had it for about 10 years. Bought it from a friend of mine's mother and knew the spotless history.

Considering the way it's built, as well as I personally maintain it, and as much/little as I drive, it'll be another 35 years before I have to even think about such issues. It's a supremely reliable tank made out of steel, wood, and leather. Still runs and drives like new.

My best friend in high school had a great Celica Supra like the one you posted, without the cool side-views, of course. I had a 1st generation MR2 that I still miss--best 4-wheel-drift car I ever drove, Teenagers... Ha.

Internet helps a lot.
I was a Classic & Sports Car subscriber for quite a few years and very often, when I wanted to search for a specific car it could take hours until I find the right issue.
I still have many of these old magazines and a couple of them are still sealed in the original plastic bag.

I watched "Black Belt Jones" a while back, and Jim Kelly drove an interesting car in that movie:

I had to look it up...it's a 1971 Jensen Interceptor Mk III (apologies if it's already been posted).

^^^ the above reminds me that when we were kids, we used to look out the window and pretending to be fish swimming every time we saw an AMC pacer on the road. Drove my Mom crazy, but kids will be kids.

 

[kesslari]

A schoolmate's dad (by definition a Cool Dad) had a Jensen Interceptor back then.
