Ooc: thanks, i work on cars hobby wise.

So I wrote this out and I tend to over share so just bear with me for just a second 😅

My favorite car is Porsche 997 GT3RS 4.0 I can go on for days why it is but you can google it and figure out pretty quickly why it is.

But to answer your question no, I’m not a fan of American cars very much at all. Sure do some look cool yes, but they really don’t do anything for me. Even the new ones are extremely meh to me. If I had to pick tho it would probably be a 69-70 Charger RT or 69 Roadrunner. My dad had a 69 Hemi Roadrunner when I was a kid. It was vitamin C orange with black stripes, 4speed on the floor, black interior and bucket seats. He sold it to buy my family’s first house. One decision he’s slightly regretted his whole life. But he got our first house so at least it was for something good.

But what really did the American cars in for me is my cousin owned a MG/Fiat/Mini/Jdm repair shop. Basically if it wasn’t American they worked on it. But yea we’d have our family picnic’s there. I would sneak off and climb into a spitfire and act like I’m driving. I did this for many years. As I got older like 13 or so I’d come over and help them work on the cars. I fell in love with roadsters because of that. One of my first cars was a 92 NA Miata. I absolutely adored that car. I’ve had every generation since then. But my dad is a huge Mopar guy. So when we found out Mopar was partnering with Abarth to build a 124 spider again. I knew I had to have one. So I now have a full Mopar built Abarth 124 spider. So it’s best of both worlds! I get my happiness from it being a euro/jdm roadster and my dad is happy because it’s a built Mopar car!
