My older brother had a 59 alfa spyder and it sure was fun to go out with him on a curvy road! So from there it was tough as the raw feeling of horsepower over cornering took over for a few years.
I had my run of 55 to 57 chevys getting started with a few others makes mixed in before I went to mopar. While in the service I developed a passion for Triumph TR-3's and my last was actually a race prepared GT-6 which had the bark of a Jag!
Sure do like the torque of a big block, and I'm trying to buy one of my old cars back a 65 plymouth Satalite with a 440 four speed that I had to sell.
My oldest son put me through a bit and I had to sell that and a Jag XJ-12 that I enjoyed to drive quite a bit. It wasn't fast out of the gate but could do everything else well enough.
Today I'm playing with a tube chassis ferrari 365 spyder with a 406 chevy small block. It was originally built by someone else in Chicago in 93 and I'm just kind of perfecting it to the best of my ability. I call it my world car and feel that someone cleaned out their garage while building it. When I got it, it only had 700 miles on while now it's sporting about 7,000 miles and growing nearly daily.
