Ah! It has one of my dream cars!  ;D

the CHRYSLER 300C

everytime I see this car (one of the few cars that looks better in the flesh rather than on posters) I love it more

Best American Cars
Is it just me, or is this an oxymoron?   :(

Browsing Forbes website I seen the list for their 10 fastest autos, there not all American but there are more than one in the list. Now I'm not going to add a photo & specs of each car so I'll just put the link in, do chime back and tell us which car you like best.

Might be of interest.
Austrian police are testing a Porsche 911 as a traffic control car to help prevent motorists from speeding. A spokesman said the £65,000 car, that can do up to 177mph, had been a major success and they are planning to buy more.

Only 177mph , Beats my ugly French car by 5 mph lol
cheers

That's because that's the 10 fastest cars.

And the fact that the Chrysler was released earlier than 2006  ;)

Just to keep KYO happy I have just got rid of my "ugly French car" the Picasso, which I must say has given me comfort/space and reasonable fuel consumption.
Moving on tmw to the Renault Scenic 1.5 dci 86bhp. No key to start motor,just a card. Loads of room all the extras,what a difference. 0-60 in 3.4 secs ;)
And it`s French lol
cheers

For me, some of the coolest cars are Porsche cars. Seriously, this German car company taught the whole world how to make cars. Personally, I can advise you to take a closer look at Porsche small cars
My personal favorite is the Taycan Cross Turismo. I have been using this car for almost a year and it is completely fine with me!

If you’re dealing with one of those unbelievable Ford Triton motors, the problem with that is so bad that there are specialty tool kits made just for getting broken-off spark plugs out of Triton engines, you can check how to remove broken spark plug without easy out . You can buy them online, I’m pretty sure you can get them at that place with the same name as that big river in South America.

Many auto parts places actually rent or loan them out, but if you’re planning on keeping the thing long enough to change spark plugs again, buy one.
