Smart cars also piss me off... they do not get much better mileage than my Sentra and I can't forget the Prius.
Favourite cars were my Thunderbird turbo coupe and my '75 Toyota Land Cruiser... they were both bulletproof and while one would light up the tyres at 60 kmh, got great mileage, and handled like it was on rails the Landcruiser would go anywhere although it would not go faster than 110 kmh because of the low gearing in the tranny.
Taking the roof off the Land Cruiser in the summer was a no brainer...
