So what do you guys own or have driven that are fun to drive? I'm thinking of older cars -- not just horsepower motivated (e.g. -- a '70 Chevelle with a 6-71 blower on top of a large displacement Chevy engine would be fun, but not what I'm thinking about). Here are a couple of possible examples:
1959 Alfa Spyder
A an old friend of mine had one. I never got to drive it, but it made
wonderful sounds. He did say that the parts were not cheap.
I got a ride in one of these not along ago too (a replica) -- Porsche 550 Spyder.
Great looking car. Sounds it made were okay -- not really anything to write home about. Car is tiny. All in all, not as cool riding in it as I thought it would be. (Just for the record, driving/riding in a Cobra IS very cool. Duh.
)
I also had a friend in college who had a great Lotus Elan convertible. (late '60s vintage I think...). Wonderful handling car. Ran through River Road in Tucson as smooth as butter. Fun car. Seemed smoother than a Miata as best I can recall...
At any rate -- any other fun drives out there? Let's share some other experiences.
