It might be, I've never owned one being more of a Mercedes guy. And I wouldn't want either one of them now with the unreliable technology they put in them.

Yuppers. Go see Ronnie @ Type2Parts there in Havasu. Tell him Trucker Chris sent you.
Here is one the next morning after bee bopping down to JJ's Cantina for some friday night drinks in Porto Penasco, MX.

I've never been cool enough to own a cool car, present day included.
2015 Slingshot (one of the first to come to the showroom. Put my money down before dealer even knew that they were available. Waited 6 months past due date and finally got it in the middle of winter. One Hour drive home in very cold weather. But the dealer said that if I did not want it, he would offer it to the next person on the list. Needless to say I said that I will be right over. And had a grin all the way home. I don't get a chance to drive it much but it beats any motorcycle thrill I ever had.
A few of my AMC products through the years. Not "cool" by most people's standards, but then again, I ain't most people...
Maybe not cool but I worked really hard at it. My first truck I bought in high school, 00 Silverado 1500. I took very good care of this one. Washed/polished it regularly, if something broke it was fixed within a day or two, by far the nicest vehicle in my itty bitty school. When I finally graduated college and had been in my career for a few years I sold it (still miss and regret it). I saw it a few years ago in the same town I sold it in; headlight was out, the rear wheel wells were rusted out, grill guard was gone. Really made me sad.
I did buy this from my dad a couple of years ago. '84 GMC Sierra 2500. I currently have it at their place but I am hoping to be able to bring it down in the next couple of years. Would love to see it restored to its former glory. My dad bought it brand new in '84. I believe its hovering around 275k miles. On its second 350 v8 (with some sort of holly carb and hedman headers), I believe a Muncie SM465 tranny, dual 20 gal tanks, NP208 tcase, GM 10 bolt front axle and a GM 14 bolt rear with 4.10s. The floors are rusted thru, the box is starting to get eaten away at the wheel wells and the cab has a rust hole on the driver side. I keep telling him to take it out of the field and put it in the garage. Still runs and still is on plow duty work in the winter. I bet he drives it 100 miles a year if that.

1976 Corvette L82 engine, white with black carpeting, white leather, stick shift. Total lemon but fun
2021 Mazda Miata stick shift, retractable fastback grand tourer. Very fun and a contrast to the TJ.

I regret letting this one get away, but needed a back seat for a kiddo. I had a 93 YJ at the time as well. I called them the Tortoise and the Hare. The S2000 was a ton of fun on twisty roads!
I guess "Cool" is subjective, but here are some of my cars that I was pretty happy to own.
67 Camaro
84 Nissan 4x4
99 Z28
02 Corvette
88 Silverado

The 1974 Ford Courier was my first vehicle, bought it when I was in Highschool in 76
These are the only vehicles I have pictures of, but there were lots more! Including a 71 Bronco, and about a dozen VW’s, bugs and bus’, plus many dirt bikes. I just sold the 65 GT Fastback 2 weeks ago.
Still have this1969 Honda 90 and the 70 Dart 340 Swinger

How I miss my '75 CT-90. Like a 2 wheeled Jeep, complete with 2 speed "transfer case"!
I really like old stuff and GM trucks.
The 00 Z71 I kept 11 years (I absolutely LOVED this truck) and the 99 S10 for 5 or 6.
Most stuff I keep... I have a problem...
I've had the 67 C10 for 25 years now (bought when I was 15), the 65 Mustang around 2012, and the '68 bird project a few years ago.
The 2011 Mustang we bought new as my wife's first new car. Still have it.
And a pic of the old stuff all shoved in the new shop that isn't done yet...
