If you can find one, you could get a Chrysler Cordoba and brag about your rich Corinthian leather.

    Alternatively, you could live up to your username and try to find a Plymouth Barracuda. I imagine some of the later (the last Barracudas were made in 1974) V-6 powered models might qualify as "affordable."

    are you seriously comparing a Chevy with a Bugatti?!

    it's not really surprising me considering the "random" posts you are doing lately

    have you seen the 78 monte carlo or the bugatti atlatic? its just a good metaphor. you should try comparing the two without being subjective about brands and condsider the time periods they were in.

    I can do that, and still think that those are two different cars, copmlitely. the Chevy can be good, but it was still mass-produced an not custom-made, unlike the Bugatti.
    in they respective time period, the Bugatti was one of the more desirable car, the Montecarlo was, maybe, the more desirable car for the common man, at most, and I doubt that.
    can't see how it's possible to compare those two car, seriously.

    And for many weekends after that one. And when you think you are done, more weekends after that.
