"Why Did ’80s Rockers love Mercedes So Much? Based on album covers of the time, it looks as if many rockers were attempting to get even by inflicting violence on the cars themselves.

I have always loved the Austin-Healey 3000. It is such a quintessential sports-car.

There really is nothing like the Porsche 356A Coupe. So moody, so original, so – excuse me! - classic in its look. It is the subtleties of detail that define so much of what Porsche does.
