Top 5 Formula 1 cars

 Welcome to this ranking of some of the best cars in the world. Warning: It's mostly going to be Lotus cars with the Cosworth DFV engine.  

1. Lotus 79

Aerodynamics are beautiful. By that logic ,this surely must be the automotive Mona Lisa. It was unstoppable during its time due to its wind-cheating abilities.

2. Ferrari 641

Built to be the best, it succeeded and in the process became my favorite Ferrari ever. Period. You can't convince me otherwise. 

3. Lotus 25

The first real moncoque in F1 looked good while innovating. It truly was an amazing car for its time. I love this mean green machine.

4. Alfa Romeo 159 Alfetta

A legendary race car from a simpler time. I love old school racing and this car is the epitome of that. It truly is a special car.

5. Lotus 72

This thing could have been championship material. Due to the passing of Jochen Rhindt it never happened. Never the less, it was a really good racing car and invented the "John Player Special" paint scheme. 

Welcome to my blog

 Welcome, all! My name is Joe Swenson and I have Autism. I am extremely obsessed with cars and want to become an automotive journalist. So this blog is here to give me some practice. With that intro out of the way, here's some facts about my taste in cars. My dream car is a VW Beetle, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a Fiat Multipla (pre-facelift). My favorite Dodge Charger is the Shelby GLHS turbo. It doesn't matter that it's front wheel drive and doesn't have a V8,what matters is that it seems to be fun to drive and still keeps the sports car nature of the original. I haven't driven anything outside of a DMV training Chevy and my Mom's Caravan ,so I wouldn't know. My favorite Mustang is the Mclaren M81. My favorite Camaro is the 1992-2002 "Catfish" Camaro because of how easy to tune it is. Hopefully this helps you realize, I like weird,quirky cars. I am not a sucker for supercars, Numbers on a sheet don't mean a thing if it's not fun to drive as well as being fast. For styling, I love the chrome and finned '50s,but hate the "high-tech" (I.E generic) look most new cars have.  And for engines, I don't hate electric cars, but I much prefer gas. My favorite engine ever built was the Cosworth DFV Formula 1 racing engine. My least favorite without a doubt is the Volkswagen "clean" diesel that caused the emission scandel. My favorite General Motors brand is Buick, for Chrysler I like Eagle, and Merkur for Ford. They're also all dead due to budget reasons. My favorite car movie is The Love Bug. My favorite F1 team was Team Lotus but because they no longer exist,I like Scuderia Ferrari. My favorite driver is Lewis Hamilton. Finally, my favorite modification type is the hot rod style and my least favorite is the donk/giant wheels style. So hopefully this little intro helps you learn more about me and the types of car stuff I cover.
