    Okay: nominations have been noted, and our crack team of statisticians will set about ranking this list, possibly with a couple of omissions--ahem...K Car?--and additions. Stay tuned...

    The bracket is done. I went through the lists that people left here, and made a few additions and modifications, based partially on Top Gear's 50 Best cars of the last 20 years, and Edmunds 100 Greatest Cars of All Time. I went through and ranked each car, 1 to 5 based on a couple of criteria: the car got a high ranking if it was a usable daily driver as well as a exciting vehicle. Some cars (like the LaFerrari) got high rankings because it's a ridiculously insane hypercar so **** you:biggrin5:. I also biased a couple cars (GP 1, M Coupe) higher than others would because I wanted to--it'll all wash out in the end. I then entered all of the cars into Challonge (a bracket generator) and allowed the seedings to fall as they may.

    Here's how it works: you can view the bracket on Challonge, but we'll play here. I'll select a few match-ups and you declare the winners. The first to vote get to lobby their choices and unfairly influence other players. Cheating and insults are encouraged.

    The first three match-ups are the play-in round. Here they are: you must select one in each match up.

    Dodge Omni GLHS vs. Ford Focus ST

    Ford F-250 Diesel vs. Ford Fiesta ST

    Renault 5 Turbo vs. VW Classic Beetle.

    Vote away.

    Here's mine....

    Focus ST, I remember the GLHS when they were new. A fast piece of carp. The GLH was a slower piece o carp.

    Fiesta ST, don't own a farm so no farm truck.

    R5 Turbo, so I can pretend I'm Jean Ragnotti winning the Monte.

    Focus ST in all black with black wheels.
    F250 Diesel to haul stuff to the races.
    VW Classic because they just keep on increasing in value.

    I would so drive a Yugo, with a helmut on.

    I would never worry about a locking it or door dings. Then again I would care if I hit anything either.
