Whats your dream car or truck?

[Coldwater]

The title says it all. My all time favorite would have to be the Unimog :biggrin: . Everybody I talk to says they are impracticle and too high off the ground. Thats what I like about them though. I would like one of these babys more than anything!

[rickjames]

No doubt! Unimogs are sweet. Seen one a couple of a weeks ago in Cowichan Bay.

Good taste! :cool:

[danny zubot]

Call me old fashion but I love the all American muscle car. Next year this baby will have an new all aluminum 6.0L engine that pumps out an amazing 500 horsepower. move over Viper!

Unimogs are sweet........but I'm a Viper guy at heart

[Doug]

Duramax diesel in a GMC, 3/4 ton, 4 door crew cab. :smile: Beats my darn Focus wagon. :lol:

[Invigor]

that pic of a vette looks like a viper, same headlights, same marking on the hood, same scoops infront of the doors, but one thing the vette has that the viper doesn't is A HUGE ASS!

It's all about the viper.

however, my dream car would have to be a 97 toyota supra Twin turbo :D

Toyota is supposed to be re-introducing the Supra. Not the twin turbo variant though, its supposed to be a V8 rear drive setup possibly based on a Lexus platform.

My personal object of desire though is one of two Porsches

[Invigor]

that looks like something made out of lego.

funny how all the "simple" guys want a BMW :D I like the one bond has in "tomorrow never dies". It's a 750iL, mmm.

Toyota quit sending the Supra to USA for whatever reason, which eventually led ultimately to it's retirement. Now Toyota's "sports car" is the celica, pfff.


mmmm, http://www.bmwm5.com/articles.php?id=33

Those porsche 356's are awesome..

would also love one of these.

That supra has an AB Flug widebody kit. Just the kit is like 10k USD!!!!! The supra was amazing though, the engine is bulletproof. A toned down version is in the current Lexus IS300...2JZ = goodness!

Danny, you might be interested in this, an "upgraded" Z06 to compete with the supercars of the world!:

General Motors vice chairman Bob Lutz won’t confirm this car exists, but he is not saying it doesn’t. We first wrote about Chevrolet’s ultra-performance Corvette—dubbed Blue Devil, most likely to catch the attention of GM CEO and Duke Blue Devil grad Rick Wagoner—shortly before the sixth-generation Corvette debuted at the Detroit auto show in January (AW, Dec. 22 and 29, 2004). We asked Lutz about the car during a recent exclusive interview with AutoWeek.

“Let’s just say [Corvette chief engineer] Dave Hill is not a guy who likes playing second fiddle to any high-performance car on the road,” said Lutz. “My guess is we’re going to find a way to do something beyond the Z06, that would be at a much higher price point, and which would compete with some of the leading high-performance cars of the world.”


Lutz said the car may be delayed while the company focuses most of its engineering might on pulling ahead profit-making vehicles like its next-generation large sport/utilities and pickups.

“But there is certainly no lack of desire on anyone’s part to establish the supremacy of the Corvette,” says Lutz.

Spied on the Nurbürgring, Blue Devil appears to be living up to the earlier hype. Eyewitnesses said the car sounds supercharged, confirming reports the engine is likely a blown version of the Z06’s 7.0-liter V8, producing upward of 600 hp. Look for lightweight carbon fiber body parts to reduce weight to about 2900 pounds.

Pricing will likely start somewhere around $100,000 if and when the car makes production in 2006.

My dream car would have to be a 1970 chevelle LS6 454 SS. But realistically I'll have to go with my close second a 1966 Pontiac Beaumont of which I already own. This is not a pic of my car (mine has been sitting in a shop at the farm for the last 10 years, waiting for me) but you get the idea.

Those pics are from some gem of a wrecker up in your area (Edmonton). He advertises in the bargainfinder.

[LostMind]

My nearly obtainable dream car is a subara wrx sti in black. Instead of buying this car before xmas though (I was approved by the bank for it), I bought a regular subaru wrx, used 2002 model, black and paid in cash...

I dunno when the responsibility bug bit me...

I kinda regret it now :|

As for DREAM car... I dunno, far too many beautiful cars out there.

[Doug]

Now what we use to dream about, many years ago. :smile:

Back around '69 or '70, my friend that picked me up for work, drove a 383 Magnum roadrunner. Another friend has a 'blueprinted" 340 'Cuda, that he raced in Calgary, before coming to Thompson. Another buddie, purchased a new 440 'Cuda,

BUT, :smile:

when a friend picked me up in his brand new, off the truck,
396 Cowl Induction Chevelle, , it made the slober run down your cheek. :biggrin:

[Troy F]

396 Cowl Induction Chevelle

Now that's a beauty. One of our neighbours has a 69' but it has a 454 in it. The car originally had the 396.

[Fish]

Any vehicle in the word? Absolutely no limit on price? It would still be the Honda Accord Hybrid.


http://www.aiada.org/images/news_photos/Honda_Accord_Hybrid_05_side.jpg

It's kinda nice to have a dream car that is so within-your-grasp. Infact, I'b buy one tomorrow if we weren't expecting our third and forced to go straight from Civic to minivan :cry: .

I want something like that, in fire engine red or another deep red, not sure what year or company I want yet. Must have flared front and rear fenders(sp?).

Ryan posted a pic of the H3 Hummer, love them things, they look awesome! Also, that little beetle dealer with the car's Tony wants, I know right where that place is, so many little bettles in there.

[Willow]

well if you want an unimog they arent that expensive. find a local land rover club and get in with them, they have all the connections for weirdo type off road stuff. grab a land rover owner mag they always have used unimog stuff in there.

if your realistic and you have some modest means and the desire to own a cool rid then its not that hard.

[KrazyKuch]

I allready have a connection for the 72 GTO!!!

[Funky_Fish14]

no, but can you tell me wtf the casting crew was thinking in the new movie?

They werent thinkin! They also ruined the song "These boots are made for Walkin' "............. but....... Jessica Simpson is something to look at :lol:

My dream car(truck) is definetly achievable.

Saw one at the gas station beside me a few weeks ago, definately one of my favorite exotics. That was the time period Ferrari made their best vehicles, IMO.

One of my customers has a brand new one which is the type I am referring to. I believe he paid about $1.4 million Canadian and has to insure it through Lloyds of London as no one in Canada will insure it. I guess if you can afford the car you can handle the $60K a year to insure it. Apparrently Ferrari will only sell them to people that have previously owned a spider or another model first as they only made about 100 of these and have a waiting list.
Here is picture of the 2003 model.

They've stopped making the Enzo. 100 were scheduled to be produced, but Ferrari ended up making #101 and gave it to the pope. I believe that one was eventually auctioned off. A more powerful version of the Enzo, the FFX, is in the works.

[Quinster]

had to move my future dream car on the weekend....12 years of sitting...just pumped up the tires and pulled it out (was sitting for allmost 40 years before that)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Quinster/0705-005F.jpg

[Delphinus]

Wow, it's in pretty good shape for sitting for 40 years (and another 12 after that). Good luck, I admire you guys with the talent, tools, time and energy to take on a project like that.

[Quinster]

that is nice to hear...I have been driving my 4 door for about 8 years in patch paint and primer...and it never fails, someone will walk up and say "nice car, when you gonna paint it" :eek: :mad: :evil: like paint is everything to building a vehicle....
