What car do you respect when you see it?

What car do you respect if you see it driving down the highway? If you could race a car on a race track what would it be and hypothetically what car would you avoid? We got 5 pages and from my last post and I believe this one is legal now.

I respect all cars on the road. Anything could be a weapon. I have a 240sx with a twin turbo skyline engine. Looks like a beater, but it sure could do some damage on the track. As for car Id want to race in the mini would be a mazda miata. Dont ask why haha

Did you read "Posts relating to street racing ... are prohibited"?

If you want to race take it to a track like many MINI owners do but its probably not a real good idea to discuss any kind of street racing here ... hypothetical or not.

I respect cars that stay out of the left lane.
I respect cars that use their indicator lights.
I respect cars that think 10 over is fast enough.
I respect cars that follow the 2 second rule.
I respect cars that don't run red lights.
I respect cars that belong to law enforcement.
