Default One day to live - what car do you choose to drive

Hi all.
So yeah the topic is simply what would you drive for the last time if given one day to live.

It can't be your own pride and joy as obviously we'd all pick that.

Any car or brand is fine, what is most special to you.

I'll start.

Gulf coloured Ford GT40.

I’d ride a horse.


(I’d like to - eventually, no hurry - die quietly on horseback and the horse, sensing something amiss, gently returns to base without dislodging me.)

An OG 1996 Dodge Viper GTS on a cold winters night in torrential rain, because you're dying anyway, right?

Here's one of my all time favourite Group B in car footages, Ari Vatanen's "Dear God" video, driving an Opel Manta 400 at some insane speeds on wet tarmac....always looking for an excuse to post this...

These drivers were incredible. There is so much going on at one time, the required concentration must be unbelievable. Especially on such a tight road as in the video. How they managed to accelerate and brake, steer, shift gears and catch slides, all while trying to hear and interpret the pace notes is an amazing skill.
