Car-nal Desires: Round 1, Heat 21

[Rain Man]

This is the final heat of Round 1.

We have 84 entries in the tournament, and we'll collectively narrow the list down to the one Chiefsplanet dream car.

PICK TWO FROM EACH LIST ON THE POLL.

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (Silver with red interior) https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...7&postcount=23

Factory 5 GTM https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...3&postcount=52

Toyota Century https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...&postcount=134

1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...8&postcount=47


Recall the rules below. (Rule #5 was modified slightly from the nomination thread.)

1. This vehicle will be yours at no purchase cost.
2. You will keep your current vehicles, so no need to worry about fitting a baby seat in it or being able to haul mulch.
3. You're responsible for parking it.
4. You pay for gas or electricity.
5. Insurance and maintenance up to $3,000 per month is free to you. You cover the next $1,000 if the expenses are higher, and then after that the expenses are covered. So for a high-end vehicle you'll cover a max of $1,000 per month.
6. The vehicle must be street-legal.
7. The vehicle must actually exist. It cannot be a cartoon or concept drawing. However, it can be a production vehicle, a concept vehicle, a custom vehicle, or anything else that is real.
8. The vehicle being nominated is the exact vehicle shown. You cannot change the color, the interior, the engine size, etc.
9. You cannot use the vehicle to make money. It's only for your personal use.
10. You cannot sell the vehicle.
11. Any type of street-legal vehicle is allowed. You can nominate a car, a truck, a minivan, an RV, a semi-truck, a motorcyle, a classic car, a school bus, whatever. As long as it meets the rules above, it's eligible.

Pretty good heat here.

The Mercedes is a nice car, and I'm a sucker for gull wings.

The Factory Five is a kit car, which I didn't know. I like that it's apparently got a more common infrastructure so you can maintain it more easily. I like it.

I'm in a mood for luxury, and the Toyota Century has it. It would be a good Sunday driver.

You can't go wrong with a 60s-era Camaro.


All of these are good contenders. However, I think I'll cast my vote for the Factory Five (unique and affordable), and the Century (a car that matches my level of pretentiousness).

Gull wings and Yenko for me, please.
