You'd love the Navistar museum pieces...

Mostly they store them in the basement of their engine plant in Chicago but they cycle them through the displays of the headquarters in Lisle every few months. They've got great examples of most of the old consumer trucks they made before focusing on Medium and heavy.

Fake "Big ol trucks" like Ram, Ford or Chevy... or one of these?

I like the fakes also but I'd take that beast in a heartbeat.

The aesthetic appeal of most supercars is lost on me as well.

To drive one, you need to be over 50 and own a gold chain or two.

corvettes, camaros, giant trucks.

Weird. I think the 60-62 vette is one of the best looking cars ever made.

I like the 63 split window.

Any sports car. I've never given a crap about corvettes, mustangs, lamborgini, etc. They are all ugly and useless.

If you think the Jaguar XKE is ugly you have no soul.

That is honestly one of the ugliest cars I've seen. That would be a car I would crush with a tank before I'd drive it

I don’t like modern (80s and on) lambos, BMWs or mercs.

Cars uncomfortable to sit in and cars awkward to drive in town

A lot of trucks can be a pain to drive around town with parking, etc.

I love the C2 corvettes, especially the 65-67 years. Beautiful lines, incredible horsepower and decent handling.

I wasn't a big Corvette fan either, but then I saw Brian Hobaugh's C2 Corvette.

There are indeed many people who do, surprisingly. I don't get it, either.

95% of hondas and Toyotas.

Range Rovers and Panameras.

Love the idea of the Corvette. You can get a Z06 brand new in the 70's and it

Problem with a Tesla is that no one wants a used one...
