What is your DREAM CAR?????

[yoda313]

Hello,

I was thinking that this would be an interesting thread. We just recently had the Woodward Dream Cruise here in Southeastern Michigan. It celebrated classic cars. We should post memories, pictures, and fantasy's about the best cars ever made.

Go ahead, price is no object: what would you drive???

For me it would be the DODGE VIPER. By far the best American sports car (my dad is retired from Chrysler so I'm a little bit biased in favor of it). It's just got great lines and pure power. I personally like the original design but the new model ain't too bad .

Its older cars for me. Early 1970'ies Cadillac Eldorado convertible maybe. But i must admit that Cadillac Sixteen has nice specs, AND its a real full sizer.

[ViRaL1]

I actually have more pics of that from the 2003 Auto Show in Chicago. I'll post them when I find them.

[BJ_M]

not to crush anyones dream car -- but there is already a HUGE thread of exactly this

[Cobra]

Hummer H1. I love it.

[thecoalman]

Not my pic, guees that's obvious considering the thread..




Edit: For those of you that don't know mid sixties Shelby Cobra 427...

[Craig Tucker]

Mclaren Mercedes SLR

[BJ_M]

geez -- i would just go for something pratical and usable - i'm not to fussy ..

a HARTGE E46 M3 would do alright , since getting a M3 GTR is a little tough. both get the M5 V8 stuffed into a M3 anyway ..

[yalborap]

A techie dreamland. Modified car antenna so it can get wireless internet signals, outlets to plug it all in, streamlined silver, general screen to run my games on, and a second one just like it for LAN games going down the freeway.....

oh, and an autopilot. Gotta have the autopilot.

[Craig Tucker]

I youve got the sort of dough for a dream car stuff it being practicle. You would have another car for the school run.

[BJ_M]

yep - daily commuter would be this



or one of these

[ViRaL1]

Has anyone made an M7 since the 745Li came out?

[holistic]

Below ................. NOT MINE but similar to my toy. Not an exotic but at least I own it !

[thayne]

My dream car would be hydrogen fuel-cell powered and doesn't yet exist....

[thayne]

Hummer H1. I love it.

Sorry aboot your penis dude...

[ViRaL1]

I've actually wanted an H1. Not because I have any issues. I just like the idea that any idiot that jumps in front of me without looking ends up being nothing more than a speedbump. My life would improve a great deal if I could eliminate the stress that comes from sharing the road with idiots.

[fmctm1sw]

I think we did this before.... Let me see if I can find my rides....

*edit*

[Hardcoreruss]

Hummer H1. I love it.

Sorry aboot your penis dude...

I would like a chunky Range Rover, but I don't drive, It would be nice to look at anyway

[Conquest10]

Mine was an SLK230. But that was years ago. I don't care about cars anymore.

[Conquest10]

Have any of you tried out the H3?

Either you're being pedantic or you're behind the times :P

If you've got the cash they'll sell you one.

[DVD_Ripper]

Sorry... even though those sports cars are phenomenal... I would have to go with a Ford F-150 4x4 with an extended cab.... Now that's my dream vehicle.. (I have pretty simple dreams )

Very sweet car... what's funny is that some 70+ year old dude will buy that and I'll still pass 'em with my 4 cylinder POS because they don't go over 50 mph.

Hey Ripper, I have F-250.... 72 with 60,000 original miles, interior is perfect even the seat. 6 cylinder 300, 7 or 8 miles to the gallon Top speed: 55 mph, but you can pull a house around with it if you wanted.

[Capmaster]

There was a thread a while back here about what happened to someone who parked like that

That's gotta be a Monte Carlo "El Vato" edition
On second thought, looks more like a Cutlass.

[flaninacupboard]

Yeah, that's four spaces he's used!
