M3
(then again, i have one...)
For a brief moment I was tempted to answer in McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche style, but I actually don't really want one of those. For me, a car must carry at least four people and have decent amount of trunk space before it can even be considered. I drove a 911 Turbo for a week one time, and it turned out to be rather inconvenient.
This is of course, working from the standpoint of limiting this discussion to what your "primary" day-to-day car would be.

Now I've got home and listened to the CD more thoroughly, I realise that "fess up" is an instrumental track. So understanding Dr.John wouldn't have helped.
Once again, the good guys on the Empeg BBS are the fount of all knowledge.
Thanks again

A Rhino covered truck? Won't scratch, dent, or chip. Not a bad idea....

Nah, I dont know the exact name for the color, its Bright rustic amber or something like that, Im not talking about Blaze orange, its more of a orangish rust color. But anyway, thats just my opinion.

I had a friend back home that ran the local Armacoat business and he had his old suburban completely covered, except he did it in yellow and black tiger strips, it was pretty cool looking, and nothing would hurt it

I had a friend in the UK who painted his old mini with hammerite when the rust was getting serious. It did the trick

Wow... That's a fine looking vehicle. Apparently you have to be REAL careful where you open those doors though. I wouldn't recommend parking on a curb. And I bet that windshield is a bitch to get replaced when someone cracks it with a brick looking for the stereo you can obviously afford.

A bit off topic, but the funniest car I've seen was here in New Orleans. A guy downtown has a Miata with bull horns on the grill, a cow bell hanging from the rear-view, and a jersey spot paint job. It looks like a Gateway commercial. His vanity plate? MOOATA. I laughed solid for 15 minutes.

Ahhh. That's one of my friends' all-time favorite cars. Possibly his absolute favorite. That had the Holley carbs, too, didn't it?

http://www.fiatbarchetta.com/ Ah. Yes, that must be it, but somehow it doesn't look as good as I remembered it... Well, for whatever it's worth, the reason I was so confused is that despite having an Italian name, the thing I was thinking of isn't a Fiat at all. It's a Suzuki, it's called the Cappuccino ( more), my brother's fiancee's sister's husband has one, and I got to ride in it (briefly) last weekend. It rules.
