Off Topic, but if you had a chance to drive your favorite car for a day, or two, What car would it be? A movie car, a Street Rod, or other...?

The older I get the harder it is to decide. :) But a few of my favorites I've love to get a chance to drive - the classic '57 Chevy convertible, Randall's 401 Gremlin, modified Nash wagon with '56 Chevy side trim, CGE 401 V8 Pacer. There's plenty more I'd love to be able to sit in and drive, but these are a few of my all-time favorites.

the 1966 Batmobile I think you can get a repop of
but I would drive the General Lee to the place where DofH was 1st filmed
Including going to the places where the movie that inspired DofH was filmed at
I want KARR Version 2
Totally would build that one IF I had the monies

Hmmm, maybe I'll play Bandit in the T/A or General Lee.

I rather like turn of the century electric horseless carriages, to my taste. Just
enough battery life to take one to the depot and back.

There's lots of quirky cars from the past that would be fun to drive. I'd love to try a Pacer, VW Bus, maybe an amphicar. My realistic dream car that I'd like to get someday is a Nash Metropolitan.

Great bunch of choices guys! Eric, I have always liked the metropolitan since I was a kid.... Jerry's Nash wagon is the bomb too!
This thread hinged on my wife & I are planning a business of renting street rods, movie cars, etc.... Along with plans for a couple of limos for local events... Where can you go to get a chance to drive a General Lee?, which seems to be very popular. Just wanted to see what some people favor !

Sorry Fellas but Chevy has never done anything for me. Well except for the 55 Bel Air.
I'm a Ford guy and this is my Ride of Choice.

If a modernized version of this was released, it would sell like crazy here in LA. Although I see less and less Smart cars, everyone and their mother own a Prius out here.
