Car-nal Desires: Round 3, Heat 1

[Rain Man]

Welcome to Round 3! We'll have seven heats in this round. The top two from each heat will move forward, and the top two third-place cars will advance to reduce us a field of 16. (The top third place cars will be identified as those that were closest in percent to the second place car.)

We are in Round 2, where we winnow the contestants from 42 vehicles to 28 vehicles.

PICK TWO FROM EACH LIST ON THE POLL.

1989 Lamborghini Countach Anniversary Edition https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...77&postcount=2

Mercedes-Benz 300SL https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...7&postcount=87

1939 Delahaye https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...&postcount=142

1966 CSX3015 Shelby Super Snake Cobra https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...7&postcount=67


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.

I'm going to continue backing my own candidates. The Lamborghini is the coolest car in the world, and I'll pick the Delahaye because I am Batman.

I like the Shelby a lot, but really dislike the lack of a grill upfront. I like the doors of the Gullwing, but am not a fan of the car's profile.

[Zebedee DuBois]

I've been voting for cars I was exited about when I was a kid ( since they don't really dazzle me anymore), or what I would have been dazzled by as a kid if I had a chance to see it ( I can still channel my inner child)

The gull wing Benz and the Delahaye

[WhawhaWhat]

Went with the Shelby and the Lambo this round. I like the other cars just not as much.

[RedandGold]

Cobra and the Benz this round. Lambo gets honorable mention.

My prediction is the final round will be between four types of American muscle car.

Sadly this is correct.

Seeing that Ferrari Dino flail against a freaking barracuda just hurts my soul
