**  rebate kiss line with your passage **

This seat belt thing is getting boring.  I remember with some fondness the
discussion of best raods and worst roads in net.wheelhead a short time
ago.  How about a discussion on car love (or lust), like ferinstance:

    If you could have your choice of any car that ever existed, what would
    you choose?  Assume money is no object.

    And (for added spice) if hell was a place where one was destined to
    drive around for all eternity, which car would be the most fitting
    vehicle for the task?

My vote for the most desirable car would be a 1960 Corvette, all white with
red interior.  Fuel injected of course.  I've never driven one of the first
generation 'vettes but I've heard that they're nothing to write home about
in the handling dept.  I'm sure that they, like all Corvettes, are noisy,
uncomfortable, and leak badly in the rain.  Still, nothing else quite comes
close to my ideal of automotive beauty as this car does.

As for my idea of hell on wheels, boring cars really, well, bore me.
There are a lot of boredom mobiles around, but if I had to the most boring
it would be the AMC Concord.  What can I say? It's just two tons of rolling
yawns to this boy.  Flame on, AMC lovers.

PS If anyone wants to give me the vette as a late Christmas gift, please
throw in a lot of extra fuel injection parts.
