I'm always equally puzzled and amused by guys who either fiercely proclaim to all asking for advice that their make car is the "best", or who get their panties in a wad when someone suggests that they may not like the make car that they own. I guess maybe I have a somewhat limited perspective on this since my car is a Contemporary and they're not made anymore, so unless someone was to buy one used, no one is running out and getting one anyway. Regardless, I like my Contemporary, I really do like it. I'm the type that likes an original look, round tube frame, correct body, IRS, etc. The Contemporary isn't perfect, but it's a really good looking car, very accurate in the body and frame shape. It comes up way short on originality as far as suspension goes, but all in all it's a very nice car as far as I'm concerned. However, my priorities in what makes a car nice may be way different from someone elses. Does that mean that another car that I personally would not care to own is bad, or garbage? No! If Contemporary was the perfect car for everyone, we'd all own one and they'd still be in business! The fact is, as my father used to so eloquently say, there's an ass for every seat. There are some Cobras out there that I have zero interest in owning. None. I'd rather have a 'vette or something before I owned one of these cars. Yet there are thousands of happy owners of these cars driving them proudly every day. I guess my point is, there is no right or wrong here, guys. These cars are meant for us and others to enjoy. Lighten up, relax, go drive you car more and drive your keyboard less. Don't take this all so personally. Just enjoy the cars, get out in the weather, drive them, and try to respect and appreciate them all. These cars are just a part of life, they aren't life itself. Lighten up and enjoy.
