Wow, your uncle drove a Super Bee to school. When I was a kid I used to look at the Brady Bunch's massive station wagon and think if only I lived in the USA.
We didn't even have a car!
Yes he was the second owner of it he bought it for 2000$ in 72. He said he cut grass and worked for two years and also sold his Hz125 dirt bike for it haha. We didn't even have a car!

Welcome!
I must admit that when I first started visiting the States in the late 80's I was gutted to find that everyone wasn't tooling around in massive V8 land barges muscle cars and that the Toyota Camry was the No 1 top seller. It was so wrong. I love that car!
I think still the majority of people are in Honda's, toyotas and nissans. I myself drive a Nissan pickup daily and I love it. Nissan is probably my favorite. Most people where I live drive trucks and suvs as well.

I was just kidding. It's what many Americans say when they find out you are English.
"Hey, I met John from London. Do you know him"?
I saw your name on your profile.

I'm the opposite to you.
I have a supercharged Mustang in the garage and wouldn't trade it for any Euro-blob-of-blandness.
A friend of mine has a 4th gen Z28 and recently bought a Merc 500SL which he describes as fairly antiseptic and nothing like as much fun as the Z28.
My other friend has a Corvette C5 Z06 which he has had since 2004.
My other friend has a 69 Chevelle.
We would no more want a Euro car as an STD.
Yes, I did test-drive an Elise back in the day but preferred my own 4th gen Z28 and Corvettes. Fun needs to be big and lairy.
I wanted a Ram V10 but it won't even fit in what used to be my parking space or most parking spaces here. I also could afford but refuse to tolerate 8-11 (UK)mpg.

I guess its more of wanting something different. Mustangs and camaros are a blast but I see them at every stoplight. I mean I love my muscle cars and have owned quite a few but want to try something different. I that's awesome that some of you appreciate heavy American muscle. Its a shame it costs so much to ship cars. The late 90s z28s can be found by the thousands for less than 5kI have a supercharged Mustang in the garage and wouldn't trade it for any Euro-blob-of-blandness.

Christ... I bet you need a car just to drive from one end of the boot (trunk) to the other.
It's a ridiculous size, but it's fabulous.
You can literally lay down in the trunk. Taking a sharp turn is kind of similar to a boat it just floats around corners in its own time haha. But on The express way it will throw you in the back seat.It's a ridiculous size, but it's fabulous.
However its still not as long as this. This car is just enormous and has a 500 big block. Its pretty much a convertable tank and won't even completely fit in the garage. I don't drive this one as much but my friends and I will all pile in and go out in Atlanta with it. The only problem is that all the thugs In Atlanta love to steal these so its almost a necessity to bring your pistol. Its happened three times since I've had it. One guy even stuck a gun in my face at the varsity which is like a drive in food place. But its still fun
