:mad: I hate you! :P

Uh... after thinking about this for 5-6 minutes, I'll have the Fury. It's the best looking to me, and I usually prefer a hardtop.

240ZG v. box: 240ZG please. It looks a lot lot better.
 
Chevrolet Chevelle SS vs. Ford Mustang Mach 1 - Mustang. :drool:

Plymouth Fury vs. Dodge Coronet vs. Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible - Fury, looks the nicest.

Results:
1. Plymouth Fury
2. Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible
3. Dodge Coronet

Datsun 240ZG vs. Nissan Skyline RS-Turbo - Skyline, because...Skyline.
 
For me, I'd have to pick the following..

Late model Toyota Hilux- INDESTRUCTIBLE :eek:
Lincoln Town Car
Corvette C1- Iconic Sportscar/Boulevard cruiser :D
Ford Mustang- Creator of the " Pony Car" :dopey:
Plymouth Fury- Because of " Christine :sly:"
Nissan Skyline- Japan's most iconic car back then :)
 
1955 Chevrolet Corvette (C1) vs 1955 Ford Thunderbird; I'm going with the Thunderbird, it just seems to suit my taste a bit more than the vette.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS vs 2001 Ford Mustang V6 - I think the Chevelle is the better choice here, even if the V6 is modded.

1958 Plymouth Fury vs 1958 Dodge Coronet vs 1958 Cadillac Eldorado; Dodge Coronet, because the Eldorado looks blehh to me and I'm paranoid about a red 1958 Plymouth Fury coming alive to kill me.

Datsun 240ZG vs Nissan Skyline RS Turbo (R30); Skyline, just because it's a skyline.
 
1955 Chevrolet Corvette (C1) vs 1955 Ford Thunderbird; C1 Corvette

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS vs 2001 Ford Mustang V6 - Chevelle. History, style, and its loud

1958 Plymouth Fury vs 1958 Dodge Coronet vs 1958 Cadillac Eldorado; Cadillac Eldorado.

Datsun 240ZG vs Nissan Skyline RS Turbo (R30); Datsun 240ZG, my dad used to own one. I would love to have one.

It's not a V6, but I can see how you'd think that since the badges were changed.

Is that 1 comparison or 2 comparisons?

If it's 2 comparo's, Mazda 3 for the first one and Evo for the second one.
 
Tail fins: The Fury please! I've always loved the Fury for some reason.

Skyline v 240Z: The 240Z definitely, they just look so damn GOOD.

Mazdaspeed 3 vs Focus ST vs WRX vs Lancer: Hmmm... I suppose I'll have to go with the WRX here. No particular reason.
 
Vespa. But I'd take a dirt bike first.

Datsun 240ZG (HS30) vs Nissan Skyline RS Turbo (R30)

I'll take the 240ZG. To me, it's one of the most beautiful cars from Japan. I'd like to give some love to one of the most overlooked Skylines, but it's lacking in allure compared to the 240ZG. It just makes me think of a regular 80s Honda Civic at first sight.


A selection of motorcycles

I barely know anything about them and I don't know how to ride one yet. The S1000RR looks the most alive and exciting, probably because it's pictured with a rider. On the other side, it also looks like an android with one of its eyes punched. That adds to the epic factor. I'll take that.


2013 Mazdaspeed 3 vs. 2013 Ford Focus ST vs. 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX vs. 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

I'll take the Lancer Ralliart. Not the most reasonable choice, I know...not the most well-equipped, not having the punchiest engine, side profile's a bit bland, etc...but it still speaks to me. The face is aggressive enough to match the way it performs, but as a whole it's not too distinguished from the standard Lancer in terms of looks. It's a bit like a sleeper, but not a very plain one as well.


Fuji Rabbit vs. Piaggio Vespa

The Vespa. I've seen plenty of them back in my home country, and they've managed to grab my hearts. Very pretty and charming.


Honda XR500 vs. Honda ATC250R vs. Honda TRX250R

The ATC250R. the TRX250R's four-wheeled like most cars, and the XR500 is two-wheeled which would require some learning time before I can fully have fun with it. In this comparison outside cars, the three-wheeled one would be the most appealing and interesting to try, I can just hop on it and have fun right away.

This is also on the basis that you don't know what could possibly be wrong with any of these vehicles and/or why some of them are cheap ;) enjoy.
