no thanks cars - Fritz - 07-24-2021
what production sexy beasts(s) [not racers or concepts] would you not take even for free (not including the probability of resale for something you'd like or hookers and beer)?
Let's stick to 1975 as a cut-off.
Lamborghini none after the 350 and 400
Corvette none after 1962.
Porsche none except a 924 ....maybe. I know I'm prolly alone on this.
Ferrari 365 GT4, Dino 308, Dino 208,
Aston Martin after 1970 except 1 Zagato.
Mustang none after 1968.
BMW none other than a 507 and maybe a 503.
Maserati none after 1973
Alfa none after 1973
and I haven't had coffee yet

Dude, I would take a 1975 AMC Hornet, for free.
Re: no thanks cars - Fritz - 07-24-2021
totally get that.

Anything with an auto insurance cost of over $100/month

I'd not take a Mustang II, other than that, I'd take all the subsequent versions of those cars.
And have some coffee.

For free, I’d figure out some way to cover the insurance for many choices, but I would not accept:
- Any Thunderbird after the first generation
- Mustang II between 1973 - 1978
- Porsche 914
- Bricklin SV-1
- Any Karman Ghia
- Jensen Interceptor
- Any Citroen (some consider them “sexy”, I don’t)
- Any car that’s been “Hot Rod” modified
- Any Detroit land yacht newer than 1945: Cadillac, Lincoln, Olds, Mercury, Buick etc.
Edit: typo

Sexy vehicles that I would not take, even when free. I’ll have to think about it. Usually when they have a really strong attribute like that I’d want to accept them.

Most of the Audi Quattro (all years)
Just about any BMW
Most water cooled VW before about 2010

You obviously don't live in Michigan because even a Ford Focus or Chevy Cruze costs that much here.
