This Cold Ass Honkey Ain't No Jive Turkey, Ya Dig?

This might be the hardest hypothetical car question I've asked myself, and I'm interested in the forum's tastes. I'll let you define classic as you see fit, just remember to take into account the degrees of reliability, safety, economy, etc that you're comfortable with.

I only drive classics, or at least old cars, depending on your definition. For me it's about a reliable small block, comfortable seats and a halfway decent radio with some good tunes. Velour seats, hood ornaments and ashtrays a plus.

The fun part of DD'ing a classic?





More specifically, the first fuel up I averaged 6.6 MPG, and the second I got 10.4.

I figured maybe an OTR heavy truck had broken that record, and one has. There's a 3+ million mile tractor trailer out there too. It's also a Volvo.

SONOFABITCH!
