Driving your dream car?

[aportnoy]

I'm a man of simple needs...

 

[Ludeykrus]

Currently: a hopped up Honda, about to sell it and drive my MR2 Turbo.

Dream: Aside from the Corvette collection I would most assuredly build, I would die a happy man after owning an original 427 Shelby Cobra.

I driver a Mercedes S class. Would like to get an Aston Martin but I am not fond of the interior (or the price).

I am driving my dream car.

a BMW 3 series convertible, I love it.

If I had to upgrade someday I'd do it to a BMW 6 series convertible.

But I will only upgrade when they put out a model running on Hydrogen or other clean fuel.

Nowadays I don't drive my car much, I move on the train and bicycle. The car gets used only on weekends to carry hot big titted blondes around

I have my "dream SUV" and my mom has my "dream car". I just traded in my g37 and yukon and got another (my third) range rover but picked up the supercharged version this time around. My mom has a black m6 coupe which I drive much more than she does and it is ridiculous. I would never want anything more than that as I probably wouldn't drive it. I'd like an old convertible Lincoln Continental with suicide doors in a blue grey. I will own one of those in the near future as I'm currently looking for one.

I'm driving a 2003 Mustang GT, mostly stock. X-pipe, modified airbox, and K&N filter. Good for low 14's, maybe a flat 14.

After I'm out of college, I really want a Cadillac CTS or CTS-V, with all of the options (except for wood accents and maybe no moonroof; they just aren't my style really). However, different wheels are going to be a must, as the look old lady-ish to me.

I'd also love to have a Saleen S302 Extreme Mustang someday. 600+ horsepower makes me hard.

And finally, a 1971 Buick Riviera with a 455. One hell of a classy cruiser, with the power to stomp.

My dream car is one that works!

... My car is broken at the moment. It's not even my car that's the problem, it's the stupid immobilizer (which they replaced last week because the old one was broken) that's stopped letting the car start. =_=

Anyway, my dream car for looks and style is actually either a Ferrari F355 or Ferrari F430, but I'd probably take a manual F430 as far as driving experience goes.

My dream garage would consist of:
An Aston Martin DB9 for cruising
A Ferrari F430 for weekend fun
A BMW M3 day driver (probably the E46 model)
A Honda S2000 as a light, checkable fun car that wont get me in as much trouble as the Ferrari.
And a Honda Integra VTiR for my girlfriend.

I'd probably also have a track car or two (Supra RZ, RX7, S2000, S15, M3 CSL, Porsche 911, something like that)

If your dream car is a formerly expensive car from the '70s or '80s, then I think now is a good time to get one. A lot of those cars aren't expensive--Mercedes SLs, Porsche 928, Maserati Quattroportes, etc.

True, an MB 560 SEC comes to mind. The main issue would be the lack of technological advances for safety and comfort/convenience. Repairs are not difficult although parts may take a bit of effort to acquire.

That reminds me of the Benz 450SLC 5.0 and the 500SLC. Lower production numbers than the coveted 300SL but really inexpensive if you can find one. Under $10,000 can get you a very nice one. As well, the early '90s Porsche-collaboration 500E W124 is a fine car although not quite as distinctive looking. I'd say a good maintenance history is important. I wouldn't want to rebuild say a 928 engine or redo the interior of an '80s Maserati.

current f150 9'' lift...

want: 2002 audi s4....lightly modded to 300+ whp range

 

[bkk]

My dream car is a DB9 which get's 50+ MPG. Since that isn't available at the moment, I'm damn happy with my E46 330i. Sexy and practical.

 

[LabelKing]

I want a Lagonda.

Prices on used 1990+ 928's are somewhat fickle, but their still better than the original MSRP.

I would never want to pay repair or restoration fees on car considered technologically ahead of the competetion in it's time.....however it's still one of my favorite cars.
