The VW New Beetle pulls off to a HUGE lead early on.... We'll have to see what the numbers shape up to be overnight... I'm off to bed.

P.S. -- I voted for the PT Cruiser.

the award was solely in the hands of the miata until the new beetle came out ;)

i'm not saying that either car is bad, but either one does not look right with a man in the drivers seat. that said, they're both fairly nice cars :)

Did someone step on your penis?

BTW, I voted new VW Bug....but basically any new VW is rather wussie looking at best....and the damn Audi TT is a real POS too, at least from a manly POV.

Nah. PT Cruiser = Midlife crisis car for women AND men whose other car is a Family Van.

Teh New Beetle hands down.
The miata should be exempt from wussiness because it's so good at what it does.

LOL, maybe saying moron was a bit harsh but after seeing it in action time after time at various autocross events I seriously can't see how it's the wussiest car.

Personally, I voted for the pink caddy, just because pink marks it. Otherwise, the new VW bug.

VW Beetle. Turtle shell with wheels. As far as Miata's, there is a guy up in my area who put's 5.0 302's into them. Not very wussy after that. Putting a V8 in a little car like that yields one psycho sleeper. :)

Yeah, a V8 Miata sounds pretty sick!! However, how would the car handle with a V8? I'm sure not as well as a little 4. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, the Cabrio is definitely the wussiest ride mentioned. Geo Metro/Suzuki Swift are alright - they are just small economical cars like the Civic. Wussy, but NOWHERE near as wussy as the Cabrio. Bleeeeech! It's like ... a convertible Cavalier. *barf*

You're not fooling any of us!

I see your secret agenda. You just want to see pics of naked men being spanked by dominant "masculine" mode types, don't you?

:p

The car is modified with custom engine mounts, and the frame is fortified with some braces IIRC. They are also converted to RWD using basically Fox body Mustang parts converted for the application. Not cheap no doubt, but the one I saw driven was pretty nutty. Without the hood open, you had no idea...although it sounded like a 5.0 Mustang when it was running. :D
