I was referring to the phrase "Redneck Supercar".

Only people who say stuff like that are just jealous or ignorant.

What is a GT40, Cobra, Bizarinni, Iso Griffo, Jensen Interceptor, Rover
3500, TR8, Range Rover, ...all cars with European styling and American
Horsepower.

   As the title of the article said it is "51 coolest cars of the past 50
   years", which appears to be a list of cars that were each a milestone
   in motoring history. Yes it's down to a writer's personal opinion, but
   in all honesty there's some damn good and iconic company in that list,
   many of which I'd own if I could long before I dropped my money on a

   testament to Tom Tjaarda for penning an iconic design and as someone
   said in an earlier post today the sight and sound of a Pantera rumbling
