Automobile Magazine's Top 100 Coolest Cars - Defining Cool

I am not a political beast by any means. I do vote every year, which is a challenge because I am usually at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas on election day. I had intended to write a column entitled "Dropping Politics-The Spin Is In" but it just wasn't working out for me.

Someone told me the Buick GNX was on Automobile Magazine's Top 100 Cool Cars list. So I decided to check it out and highlight the 25 entries I agreed most with and call out some cars the editors missed. Check it out. Go to www.automobilemag.com and tell them who they missed.
