Pesonally I have the non-magnetic cars, Corvair, Gremlin, Panel Truck, Street Rod you know things like that. I enjoy driving them as well. I like to get someplace and I like to get home. I don't want the time in between spent in a hospital or body shop. You know if you want to show off your car slow down so people can see it.

Actually a 1965 Corvair was my first "sports"car. It was also the first car to prove to me (at age 17) that less power doesn't mean safer. I was to find out first hand that cars have performance limits (in this case cornering) and they don't drive well "upsidedown." All four of us walked away uninjured. Even though the car was a total loss, I considered it a relatively inexpensive lesson since nobody was hurt and one that has stuck with me for almost 40 years.
