Ten cars you must drive. Don't agree with most, except the last one on the page.

Disagree with the Hummer. The others might be kind of fun though.

The Sunbeam Tiger was pretty quick in its day. I had the chance to buy one for $2500 in 1975. I was saving for a 240Z so I didn't go for it. In hindsight, I should have gone for it.

The Hummer is an H1.

It's the real deal. Not one of the BS pretenders that GM has put out.

They are not the most exotic cars, but, cars not made any more. I would have added a Shelby Cobra.

They do have the Sunbeam Tiger, which is along the same lines but WAY more affordable than a real Cobra. This list is all brands which no longer exist -- Shelby is still making cars.

I totally agree with the Pantera...one of my favorite cars of all time.

Bill Cosby had a funny bit about the day Mr. Shelby personally delivered a 427 Cobra to him. Bill got in turned the key push in on the accelerator and after doing 13 doughnuts in his front lawn before he could turn the key off... he handed the keys back to Carroll and told him to take it away before he killed himself or worse yet someone he really liked with it.

BTW I must be closer to death than I realized... other than the Frazer Nash and the Tucker I've had seat time in all of them. Only briefly in a Hummer and only in the passenger seat in the Amphicar but Dad thought the Toronado was the gotta have car in 1966 even though he had a wife and four kids and the Toronado only had two doors it still made sense to him. Now I did agree with him when it came to two doors in 1969 when he brought home a dark green Grand Prix SJ. Now that was a fun car to drive even if I had to think fast on the way home from Prom Picnic in 1970, but Dad was cool he never asked me why his car was returned home to him with two new rear tires on it... I assumed Dad had done a few things in the car Mom never heard about either.

I'd be happy to take a spin in 4,5 and 10.
