C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
If you could own any car/truck/SUV/Ute/bike/etc in the world, what would it be? Rules are that it has to be something that is or was available at a retail showroom and that can be driven with a normal car (or motorbike) license. My dream car is the Holden Ute in Hothouse green, this one: http://www.difflock.com/buyersguide/newcars/Holden_ute/9962A1.jpg
For a yank car, 1969 Mustang.
Bike: '84 Honda CX650 Turbo. My Dad had one years ago but sold it for a car. Only 2500 ever made. Really fast bike for its age. The BEST sounding V2 ever! CX650T Car: '90 Audi Quattro 20v. Ever since I was little I have always wanted to own one of these. IT has an amazing engine for its age and keep up with some of the modern 2.5Litre sports cars now'n'days in the wet. Too bad the inside looks really tatty and way way outdated. '90 Quattro Edit: I can't spell lol.
Lamborghini Countach Black is the best color for this car. If I could afford one, then I would also get a front spoiler.

It might be available in a few...decades.
http://www.teslamotors.com/design/gallery-body.php i really love this car. otherwise i have been fascinated with Porsche ever since i was 12... 911 Carrera, twin turbo http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=126800#4 http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=120133 edit: 2 http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/car_shopping/the_coupe_coop/2007_p orsche_911_turbo_tiptronic_short_take_road_test
70's Firebird, with the Super Duty 455. Similar to this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/74bird.jpg
I want (and will get, soon) a 2005 Impala Super Sport. It's been the only vehicle I've wanted for a while now.
TVR Sagaris
1974 Trans am 455 Super Duty with a hurst 4 speed. One of 216 ever made, and my parents owned one.
'69 Camaro
what is it with all the camaros and mustangs? Late 60s especially. I think that if I could get a cool car, with most of the good things of an SUV, it would be a Chevrolet Caprice. With an LS7 crate motor.

Jaguar E-Type. Google for pics. (Too lazy to myself)
HeavyX101 wrote on Fri, 20 June 2008 19:15 No. I beg to differ. That is the ugliest piece of shit ever. It looks like a ball on wheels.

...and I'll be that barely-mobile sonnovabitch still driving around in a (by then) severely beat up and worn out '04 Wrangler. Or that Camaro if I ever get my hands on one.

No, but seriously, too many to list, but this would be right up there.....
Why don't you guys post your dream car you can afford!
SSnipe wrote on Fri, 27 June 2008 22:59 Why don't you guys post your dream car you can afford! Because if you could afford it, you wouldn't be dreaming about it. It'd in your garage.

According to wikipedia, it is the fastest street legal car topping @ 332km/h
TehstormZ wrote on Sat, 28 June 2008 01:06 According to wikipedia, it is the 2nd fastest street legal car topping @ 332km/h
Well wikipedia has mis-informed you young firest0rmz, 332km/h is only 208MPH. Lots of cars (street legal) can top that.
I'm sure the Bugatti Veyron is one of the fastest street legal cars (if not the fastest).
SSnipe wrote on Fri, 27 June 2008 22:59 Why don't you guys post your dream car you can afford! Then it is the VW GTI
I drive my dream car every day. 2007 Plum Crazy Charger SRT8
well in that case this is the car i am currently saving up for... 1-2 more years and it will be mine! http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/112_0708_2009_audi_a4/photo_01.html
Why go for that Audi when you can have this one?
as long as it's got room for plenty of gear it's all good... I wouldn't want a sporty 2-seater with fuck all boot space.
Practicality is the name of the game.
Lamborghini Reventon

madrackz wrote on Fri, 20 June 2008 08:59 I race my WRX with a guys who races one of these. He let me take it down the track once and tbh it was horrible. It isn't comfortable at all, it isn't smooth or even fun to drive. It takes corners like it is a tank but I think a little worse lol. I think the only way that car would be fun is if you were doing long, straight drag races. For the money that thing costs I was very dissapointed. My dream car is this one ... And yes that is my car.
I'm seeing an awful lot of sports cars that go really fast but are made out of materials that break if you look at them the wrong way. I just don't get the appeal behind a car that's so fragile that you'd be afraid of the occasional bumper kiss.

Subarus became old when everyone had to have one. great cars though.

Personally I absolutly love my car and wouldn't trade it in for anything. Even if I became stupid rich I would still drive this car ... and I'm sure some of these others posted too.
My cheap dreamride is a 1996 Caprice Wagon with an LS9 crate motor, camaro front end, and 4.11 Posi in the rear end. This is the ultimate sleeper wagon.
Dont get me wrong it is a nice car no doubt about that its just that its too over rated. People that drive them think 'oh look I got WRX im king of the road' when in all honestly performance wise its nothing special.
Compared to most cars on US roads, it is defiantly something special.

The Corvette ZO6 came to Europe to show that North America is ready to kick ass. The new Corvette ZR1 will leave the old-world in a cloud of tire smoke. Sorry Lambo. If I could rock any ride, it'd have to be this.
would be crazy i dont like the idea of having a real sportcar, but this would do

As a WRX owner I can assure you that in fact I do own the road.
luv2pb wrote on Tue, 08 July 2008 14:24 That is the thing though. As a WRX owner I can assure you that in fact I do own the road. WRX's are nice, dont get me wrong. i love the awd and the hp on them is really good. ofcourse STI will tear them apart but thats why its another 6000$ more, right? personally i find them on the small side, im a big person... 6' tall and about 240lbs, but then again judging by your pic luv you are not small either lol. for me though there isnt enough room in there. also the gas milage is terrible, but ofcourse thats the trade off you get for having over 250hp. by terrible im talking 18 mpg if you drive like my coworker does... and it runs on premium only. which here is 5.6$/gallon. i would rather go with audi a4 quattro or awd Lexus IS250. they are just 5k more and they have good gas milage, like mid 20's while still needing premium. and obviously they have the awd part down. and while not being as fast they are luxurious will still tear most cars on the road apart... and have the comfort thing nailed down
I own one of mine. Buell 1125CR.
love KTM.s so the ktm-x-bow would be a dream ride .. http://uncrate.com/stuff/ktm-x-bow/ I have owned almost most motorcycles but the one that gives me the most plesure is the very first bike I owned as a teenager 1989 yamaha dt the white one in the pic. not the fastist bike in the world but still has a great smile factor
The KTM reminds me of VW's GX3 from a couple years ago. Interesting how the X-Bow uses an Audi engine, which of course, is a subsidiary of VW. I wonder if there's a chance Audi will use their new acquisition of Ducati to finally mass-produce a vehicle like the X-Bow for North American consumption. KTM's aren't too popular where I live. But I do drool over Super Duke's.
yeah super dukes are nice .. I am more old scool with bikes and love the likes of the Honda Dominator -transalp ect http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/bikereviews/searchresults/Bike-Reviews/Honda/H onda-Dominator-1988-2001/
I don't think those existed in North America. The 650-single class is pretty much owned by the KLR 650. Never been an off-road guy. My dad was all about travelling in the country but I've always been a city-slicker. Not sure I want to take a Buell onto a logging road. I'd have to walk home.
