The official what’s your favorite car(s) RIGHT NOW thread(besides MN12s!!!)

A place I worked had an 82 supra as one of the company cars in '86. I got fired passing the company owner for passing him on the way to a major sale, that he had forgotten the stuff for, contracts, cd's, manuals. everything. I made it there 10 minutes before they did, delivered the stuff, and left. The next morning, I found out I'd been fired for 10 minutes, lol.
 
Mic drop.
Mitsubishi Starion and Chrysler Conquest. Never even sat in one but always caught my eye.

Love the look of those, especially the wheels.
It was supposed to be called Mitsubishi Stallion, but apparently got lost in translation 😝

Love the Esprit for many reasons, but mostly because my favorite James Bond was Roger Moore.

And speaking of "slot wheels", these heritage wheels on the Bronco Sport look great, and I suspect they may be a direct fit on our cars.

They are a direct fit. I have been running Maverick steel wheels with snow tires on the '97 for the last several months. The Maverick and Bronco Sport share the same wheel lug pattern, offset, center bore size, etc. The only difference I am aware of is the Maverick runs M14 lug studs while the Bronco Sport runs M12 lugs (like the MN12). Ford generally lists wheels as interchangeable between the two, so I am assuming the Bronco Sport wheels are drilled to accommodate the M14 stud. You just need to ensure that your lug nuts have enough taper to seat against the wheel and you should be fine.

Funny thing is, there was a time when you couldn't give those old Mustang 10 hole wheels away. Now we have aftermarket companies making them in different sizes and they brought them back for the Bronco Sport.

People finally collectively realized 95 Cobra Rs on Foxbodies is a dull cliche 😝

Ngl. I’m happier with my current wheel choice as I’ve ever been…mostly… but if our cars were as robustly as popular as Mustangs where 18x9” oversized replicas of the original 93-95 Cougar snowflake wheels were available I’d throw them on in a heartbeat
 
I’m still into 70s junk(realistically I always am, god I love brown)

The original SuperCoupe

So anytime someone posts a 911, I can't help being reminded of this iconic childhood memory: The Condorman car chase. I may have posted it before, so...forgive the repetition. We had the movie on VHS when I was little, and I re- and rewatched it just to see this.

Fun fact: Michael Crawford was also the first actor to play the phantom of the opera in the musical version.

Hey she was in Lone Wolf McQuade! I just rewatched that equally cinematic masterpiece 😆

As an aside morovich is in a 935 Replica… which reminds me… also brown… 😝

 
I only saw part of a movie with Charlie Sheen on a Porsche WAY back on the day. I'm assuming this is it after a Google search. There's a scene in a Porsche on a SoCal back road where the passenger tells him to pass on a blind curve. For some reason that scene such with me all these years but I never looked for the movie until now.

70-80's 911s are the best looking car of the era. Best looking Porsche ever, IMO

I saw that movie and I do remember that scene. That poster is terrible though not only are no 993s in the movie the 993 didn’t even exist when the movie was made!

I agree I think the 70s-80s 911 with the impact bumpers are the best looking of the breed. The whaletail could only ever work on that car
