Recall the rules below. (Rule #5 was modified slightly from the nomination thread.)

1. This vehicle will be yours at no purchase cost.
2. You will keep your current vehicles, so no need to worry about fitting a baby seat in it or being able to haul mulch.
3. You're responsible for parking it.
4. You pay for gas or electricity.
5. Insurance and maintenance up to $3,000 per month is free to you. You cover the next $1,000 if the expenses are higher, and then after that the expenses are covered. So for a high-end vehicle you'll cover a max of $1,000 per month.
6. The vehicle must be street-legal.
7. The vehicle must actually exist. It cannot be a cartoon or concept drawing. However, it can be a production vehicle, a concept vehicle, a custom vehicle, or anything else that is real.
8. The vehicle being nominated is the exact vehicle shown. You cannot change the color, the interior, the engine size, etc.
9. You cannot use the vehicle to make money. It's only for your personal use.
10. You cannot sell the vehicle.
11. Any type of street-legal vehicle is allowed. You can nominate a car, a truck, a minivan, an RV, a semi-truck, a motorcyle, a classic car, a school bus, whatever. As long as it meets the rules above, it's eligible.

Look at the interiors of the Boss and the Corvette. It's like they had the same supplier.

I'm going with the two American cars in this one, though I like the color combo of the Mercedes.

Mercedes and Mustang.

Love the gullwing, but have to forgo it for the other two.

I've always wanted a classic Mercedes, so I had to go with that as one of my picks. I've driven both the Boss and the Vette and I'll take the Vette. The Mustang is just too light in the rear end to do anything else but be fast.

Boss 429 and Corvette 427. Both icons for the classic American Muscle car, which you could take out, drive and still enjoy today.
Not so sure you would ever take the Mercedes out to drive.

I went with Mercedes ans Stang. I don't fit in 67 Vettes.
