Yes, Miura... If I have triple the budget, she might be a consideration
Lamborghinis are fantastic cars, true exotics in every sense. But compared to others, maintenance costs are enormous. Miura stands for: motor-is-under-repair-again
Purchase price is just the beginning for any Lamborghini. Engine rebuild can cost up to 25K€ !
I'm normal height, will fit into any car .
But I generaly find Italian cars' driving position too uncomfortable, with arms outstreched to reach the wheel, and knees bent outwards, with offset to center. Is Pantera "Italian" in this case?
American V8 is by far the most durable machine of all others on list.
What I've learned about Panteras here is that originality isn't so important compared to others. This makes maintenance even easier, and one can build his car to it's own taste and needs. They are robust and actualy can be taken to long trips, with some enhancements in ergonomics. And seem to last forever. Design is timeless. And prices are moderate at this time.
Thanks everyone for your posts!
