    Alfa and Daytona Turbo, which I would immediately fill with 87 octane gas, wire tie the wastegate shut and bang it off the rev-limiter until the motor blows up. Then I'd remove the plates, grind off the VIN, set fire to it and roll it into the Delaware River. Then I'd pull it out of the river, smash it to pieces with a sledge hammer, and roll it back into the river.

    I'm going to have to go Pinto on this. It would be more unique than every other Stang going down the drag strip, plus you gotta die somehow, right?

    ^What is wrong with you people????^

    Crashton, Whaap, N2MINI, Dave-O, B.A.D., 00MINI, I insist that you edit your votes immediately. A Miata over a Z3 Coupe? You foaming-at-the-mouth, drunk, stoned, high, delusional, misguided, out-of-your-mind, poppycocked, unhinged, unglued, drooling gobbed, gobsmacked, smacked-assed, nincompoopey numpties are out of your cotton-picking minds. Clearly it was just a clerical mistake, so just go ahead and correct it, and we'll all move on.

    Hugs, Eric



    Oh, and GTU, Z3 Coupe, of course.

    Now there's a great cool beater fight. Having owned...

    1) a POS 924 (the predecessor to the 944) when I was a snot-nosed 19 year-old superstar, bought for $1200 ($200 borrowed from my roomate because I HAD to have it), It looked like an orangutan and ran like a penguin, but I drove a frickin' PORSH, dude, a PORSCH. Everybody hated me: Porsche nerds cause I had the worst example of the worst Porsche ever, and every other civilian, because who the f did I think I was driving a PORCH.

    2) a Boxster when I was in my mid 40s, a dried out, used up carcass of a human being with not the fleetingest hope of ever approaching cool, smelling of corpse and despair. It was great! Fun to drive to the beach, with just enough Porsche personality. Everybody hated me: I was driving a girl PORSCH. But when you're in your mid 40s, you don't give a F what people think.

    ...I'm uniquely qualified to vote for the Boxster, in a narrow victory because of the fun-to-drive factor.

    I have to go with the 944, based solely on styling/aesthetic value. I have not owned nor driven either, so I don't fit the proper qualifications for a worthy vote off knowledge of the vehicle. But with a serious love for long nose, short tailed cars (240z, 350/370z, FR-S/BRZ, 599 GTO, 2000GT, etc etc etc), I have to go with the 944.
