1968 standard red mustang convertable

Or is this thread about materialism?

I would probably get a Shelby Cobra for hubby so he would shut up about it.....haha.

if I had to get a car for me, I would get a sea foam green 57 Chevy Bel Air.

Since when did you become so much of a "democrat"? :rolleyes:

Or is this thread about materialism?

did that really require two posts?

a)people buy nice things without it having to be about their genital size and/or breast size. I want the mustang because it is a great car to drive
b)all purchases or desires to purchase are materialistic. Deal with it.

honda civic 2007 with glass roof and all the nifty little gadgets i can squeeze onboard :P

I'm just trying to reply to other threads the way people reply to mine.:p

im not much into cars.

A VW Beetle convertible. Just 'cause. :D

Or is this thread about materialism?

its about blantant materialism and excessive consumption. Is there a problem?

I really miss my Chevy Sprint, the one I got was in poor condition, but if I could get one new (I can't btw, I had like a 1985 and they don't' make them anymore.) I would like to have another, it was small and efficient, and versatile and cute-ish, and it got like 45mpg.

I don't drive, so some sort of...robot car that can drive me places would be teh secks. And it'd look like a 60's/70's muscle car of some sort. Yeah, like this. (http://www.get-in2.com/musclecars/1970_ford_torino_cobra.jpg)

A Tesla Roadster. Cake and eating it, too...well, as close as I can get...

A Tesla Roadster. Cake and eating it, too...well, as close as I can get...

:) I want one too!

a professor at our school has a really cool selfmade car. something between a go-car, an electrical car and a bike you have to lie on. it would be cool to have one of those.
if it has to be a real car i think i'd choose an old VW van. a friend of mine has an old VW beetle from the 50's wich is kind of cool. or a mobile-home those things are cool too, imagine where i could go.
i should learn how to drive first though.

growing up my dad had a VW bus.......coolest vehicle ever.

I saw a thing on PBS (that I just remembered) about a car that ran on compressed air, it was so cute, I want one of those too.

One of those cars with the "skateboard" under them that has all the mechanical components required, and byproducts only water.

Totally.

I saw that, too! Kinda nifty. And, if you have a slightly juvenile sense of humor, there is fun in driving a car around that sounds like it's machine gun farting...

A VW Beetle convertible. Just 'cause. :DI'll have what she's having. :fluffle:

In fact, I'll take 1 classic VW bug convertible (color to be determined) and 1 VW New Beetle convertible (color eggshell), thank you very much.

Maybe one of these (http://www.dormobile.org.uk/Images/landrover.jpg).

And of course some random, beautiful, sleek but curvy antique sportscar, color either eggshell or that really dark green with the slight golden hue.

Color is important. *nods* :rolleyes: :p

I'm wanting to buy a Uaz 469 Soviet Jeep. Quite nice piece of militaria that's just a bit smaller than a British Land Rover.

http://www.russiantruck.co.uk/images/trucks/Uaz/Uazjeep07.jpg

It's got 19-21 Miles per Gallon with a V55 type engine (V12 580BHP 38,000 cc), and can be converted to run on more fuel efficient compressed gaseous petrol.

But my perfect ride would have to be this Gvozdika 2S1:

You could get a Yaris (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=108501) or a Fit (http://www.caranddriver.com/bestcars/12062/2007-honda-fit.html)...if you could get a new car...I know how that goes...

Bugs are the rare cars that can pull off white, and really only convertible ones.

I totally want a diesel powered Dormobile. I would totally become an outdoorsman just to justify it...

Pff, so you say, but everytime I show you a good classic car you think it's evil looking. The only thing you liked was the E-Type and the 356, which everyone likes...

That looks like a large version of those faux Flintstones cars you putted around in as a kid - orange and yellow paintjob on a plastic car ftw.

how does it drive though? do you have to do a lot of maintainance and stuff? and can you go further than 30 km from your house? because my friend with the VW can only go 30km away from his house to mak test-drives.

It's fun, even when it's shady. You lose all sense of urgency driving a car with a 0-60 mph time of 'maybe.'
do you have to do a lot of maintainance and stuff?
You bet. It's a mechanically simply 40 year old van, and that's the youngest a split window can be! But just take the book (VW Maintance of the Complete Idiot) and there isn't anywhere really you can't go, as long as you're not in a hurry.

I joke that driving a vintage car means that you never travel farther than you're willing to be towed back, but when it was my primary vehicle (I now have an additional '85 Vanagon for work and long hauls) I took it all over Northern California and always managed to get it back, though sometimes that was a hassle.

If you keep on it, it's not that bad. If you let the problems pile up (like I do more than I'd like) it can get pretty bad and you start to think you have a lemon. But they're actually troopers, you just have to remember how old that trooper is.

if i could have any car...it would be one that works. I don't give a darn what kind it is. Just a working car!

Pagani Zonda C12s

Although I could be tempted by the roadster version:

http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/03/zondafr06.jpg

No car comes close to the Zonda for me.


If I couldn't have one, though, I'd settle for a Caterham R500 Superlight:

cool, how much does it cost? and how much gas does it use? and are these cars as environmently-unfriendly as i think they are?

cool, how much does it cost? and how much gas does it use? and are these cars as environmently-unfriendly as i think they are?

Mine was kind of cheap, @$1700. It had some hidden issues that I didn't care about because it was a car with a table in it, so I was sold. They can get expensive depending on condition and type. The most expensive usually is the 21-window buses, Westfalias (mine!) are on the pricy side as well.

It gets about 30 mpg if you go easy, and you really don't have a choice, so it's gravy. I get anywhere between 25-30, depending on maintence and where I go.

It won't pass smog, becuase the last year I had to pass smog, it didn't. But I don't have to anymore, so there is that.

It's easy to convert them to run on propane, which is still a fossil fuel, but it burns cleaner, so if that bothers you (it does me, and I'm converting her when I get the money together) then you can do that. It has the side effect of really cleaning out the engine, but it also runs hotter, which is already a problem for that engine.

Other than that, if you keep up on things it doesn't really leak oil, but it can. It's not as bad as its contemporaries, but I wouldn't compare its emmissions to a modern car.

there's loads of nice cars out there, but the one I've wanted since I was a kid is a red Ferrari. xD

i'm not really into cars (actually i don't even know what kind of car my parents drive :)) but maybe if i get older, learn to drive and have some money i might buy me one like yours.

I'd get a car that I wouldn't drive, but be driven in.

Perhaps a Maybach 62.

Do you have a friend called Alice who runs a restaurant? You do, don't you? Oh, please tell me you do...

This one. (http://www.moller.com/)


Failing that I'd like a a nuclear-powered unicycle.

Whenever I'm asked this question I give the same response as I have for the past 15 years... maybe longer... This is my dream car, even though I know in reality it would never even fit together properly, let alone drive. Oh, but how fun it is to think of... (btw, for those who don't know, I'm a late-20s mother)

I want a Volkswagon beetle, not the superbugs, but one of the old-school original ones... but with a newer earth-friendly hybrid engine in it, that'd be sweet, would like to keep it a manual tranny for the revving abilities though... Gotta be a convertible, too. Painted a deep, royal purple with green flames coming from the hood along the sides of the doors.

And I want monster truck tires on it. Like, the big ones. Yeah, I know the frame wouldn't handle it, but still. I want a freaking ladder to get into the front seat from underneath so I can go rolling over those punk ass SUVs who think they're so bad.

Wind (and branches too, probably) in my hair, no exhaust fumes from other cars, clear roads wherever I turn up. Aaaaahhhh that's the stuff. Muahahaha.

... ok.... how the hell do you get into that thing...

and man, I can just imagine that car running over a spike strip!!! :p

Hmm, one of those little Italian Smart Cars. They're small and cute and not insanely expensive/ gas guzzlers. There have been talks of the US getting them since 1999- but not a single one reached the dealerships. Ugh!

Or, instead of a car, the best bike/mass transit/walking city plan in the world...

I bet if it ran over a spike strip it would look like this: http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/6/66/Boomcarw.JPG

As for getting in and out, it would be like a racecar: you slide in through the window.

I'm staggered that no-one has mentioned the Bugatti Veyron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron) yet.

Not that it would be my choice, but it seems to be the sort of 'Godwin's Law' of automotive drool fests.

As for me, I echo the Tesla votes (maybe a slightly more practical version, if and when one comes out).

The Smart is a Mercedes and they have been selling them here in the US in limited numbers. There was a dude in Santa Cruz that had one and I saw one in Emeryville as well.

McLaren F1

Only one?

Well, without having driven any of the really nice ones...probably a 911 GT3 or a Lamborghini Gallardo SE.

It's gotta be one of the still somewhat sensible ones, because I'd imagine it would be a major pain having to use a GT3 RS or Gallardo Superleggera as an everyday car.

I'm in negotiations about buying a new car at the moment, by the way. Hopefully in a few days I'll make a thread and present pictures. Some of you may be pleasantly surprised...

Heh, I know. If I couldn't get my hands on an E-type I'd settle for a TVR Tuscan S.

I'd be scared shitless of driving it at the speeds it can achieve, but I'd still frikking want one.

I've driven cars of a similar-ish speed on a track (well, it was only similar because none of the straights would be long enough for the Tuscan to reach its top speed, but the car I was in had similar acceleration and better cornering). It takes a few laps to get used to it, but once you do it's not so bad.

Heh, I know. If I couldn't get my hands on an E-type I'd settle for a TVR Tuscan S.

I was behind a TVR the other day. We were going along slowly in traffic, and then came to a dual carriageway. The guy finally had a chance to hit the gas, and I loved the noise it made... for about 3 seconds, before some pratt in an old Mondeo pulled out in front of him at about 17mph. :p

Too bad there's only 49.

Okay, I realise taste is subjective, but seriously. What kind of try-hard wanker would want to drive around in that? I'd wager the same sort of person who puts up those fake-snow pass things on the window or puts mud on the side of their four-wheel drive to make it look like they've taken it out somewhere. Also, they think immigrantion should be curtailed.

Nah, they're building 300.

And as great a technical tour de force it is, I wouldn't have it. There's no passion in it, no soul....

No, I need a vehicle that can actually go off-road.

I would also like the armor package, and the turret ring, and the M2 .50 caliber machinegun, thank you.

Actually, the G-Class Merc is probably the most capable off-roader you can buy (apart maybe from the Unimog trucks). I suppose the G55 would have its alloys damaged, but other than that...

The original Hummer does quite well off-road, under conditions that destroy most other off-road vehicles.

I believe it's built on a Tahoe. Honestly, it's nothing more an overwrought, overpriced gaudy suburban utility vehicle joke; the H3 is pretty much all around better than the H2 at everything it does offroad and it's more fuel efficient and maneuverable to boot.

For that matter, I'd like either a 7-series BMW or a Bentley Arnage.

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7Fy9b2L7WY&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffuh2%2Ecom%2Finspiredworks%2Ephp) sums up how I feel about the H2.

The H3 had one of those inadvertant commentary ads...it starts with a giant lizard smashing through a city that runs into a giant robot that's smashing through the city and they fall in love and give birth to an H3. The H3 is the child of two city destroying monsters...

The only one worse than that I saw was for Cadillac SUVs where they drive through a heat stricken town and when they drive by the ice truck the ice melts...oops...

Hell, I might even consider a Chaika from the USSR just for the historical significance.

One that actually works.

I hope to god you mean the absolutely gorgeous previous generation (E38), especially after its facelift, and not the god-awful current generation (E65/E66).

Please?


On another note, the new Jag XK is stunning. Properly, truly. More so than a DB9.

The last generation 7-Series sucked. The new one is the best looking yet.

A pink nuclear-powered VW Beetle with reactionless thrusters and a hyperdrive. Maybe a cloaking device. Made out of neutronium.

There's no way any competent individual can think the new one looks better....:p


Trust me, I know all about being swayed by the family car...I hated the current 5 series until my dad got a 540i SE Touring (in this awesome dark grey/gunmetally colour) last September. Now I think it's fantastic looking.

I thought it looked good before he got one. I was actually a staunch BMW hater before he got one, but the 7-Series always stuck as an awesome looking car to me.

The 5 is nice (well, the touring anyway, and with the SE bodykit), the 1 is odd looking, and my opinion on the 7 is well documented.

Easily done, though; it's so boring looking.

It's a weird one. Very bland compared to some of its rivals. And the rear end is a mess.

Mmmmm, the 3-Series. The lease on my car is coming up... the 3-Series is so tempting I'm afraid to test drive the 3 because I know once I do I'm getting it no questions asked.

But...its rear is a carbon copy of a Mitsubishi Charisma (a name it most definitely didn't deserve), its sides have this misplaced crease thing going on, and the front is a geometric mess which just doesn't work.

I mean...is the car market in the US so bad that the 3 series actually seems like the best car to get (outside of people getting it just for the badge)? Actually, I think I know the answer to that...

Unless you mean the 3 series coupé, which really is great looking. Saw one in the garage when my Dad was picking up his car. Very nice.

You guys need to stop messin' around with these sports sedan half steps and get a proper sports coupe like a Porsche Cayman.

Rear seats are for posers.

Yeah... well, I'm two days shy of 19 years old. I can't afford a Porsche Cayman yet. I wish. :p

You're spot on about that.

The list price for the most basic 1 Series here (116i) is £15,995.

For more or less the same money (£300 more at £16,250) you could have the Honda Civic 1.8 i-VTEC Type S GT. A much better car, in almost every dimension. To get a similar 1 Series you're paying £21,495. It just doesn't justify itself at any level.

Not to mention that the 1 looks like this:

The Cayman is the best handling Porsche ever and in many ways might be the most 'proper' Porsche in a long time as it's pure handling and grit with out a care in the world about your groceries or practicalities.

But the Exige is all kinds of nice.

So I can play funky '70s gospel on my 8-track player. :D

Something custom made. I'm thinking an amphibious car that's shaped like a giant yellow duck (Naturally with the horn sounding like a quack). Ideally seaworthy so I could take trips to France and fitted with deck on top and maybe a mouse terrarium as well. That would rule so much.

Otherwise, I don't really have a dream car, other than something that's of a simplistic but utterly brilliant design. So far, air-cooled VWs, especially my '64 Beetle, fit that description quite nicely, along with the air-cooled Porsches of old.

If not, something along the lines of this (http://news.thomasnet.com/IMT/archives/MERCEDES%20BENZ%20S%20CLASS%202007.jpg).

an ultra-light-rail, solar battery, flywheel, or other non-combustion powered guideway based public transit system, in a world without the use of combustion to propell transportation or putting trying to impress anyone ahead of the kind of world we all have to live in.

until that day comes, well i still prefer public transit to having to maintain my own pain in the ass with four wheels on the bottom, but two wheels, either battery electric or at least extremely good on gas, as two wheels tend to be an order of magnitude more then four anyway, might be ok.

if i was living up in the boonies where i would really need it, then some kind of pickup or van, but still, if possible electric or other non-combustion tecnology.

a grav sled might be nice if we had them too. or a lananran singleship.
even a solar/battery masterbot/lawn tractor.

a friendly flying pig or dragon friend might be a nice way to go too.

I am actually well aware of the fact. But I still want a 'Firebird' not a 'Trans-Am'.
a) because trans am sounds deeply naff and more suited to a train or something, not a bright red sports car
b) more importantly, when I was a kid and i had a scalextrix rip off with two Firebirds/ Trans Ams on it it called them Firebirds and since that's from where my desire to possess one ultimately rests I'm sticking with that name.

They're called Trans Ams, noob.

Actually, no...they're called Firebirds. Trans Ams and Formulas demark variations. The "Trans Am Performance and Apperance Package" was an add on in 1969 for $795 and was named after the popular (at the time) American road racing series. That became the top seller of the line.

Oh yeah, CtoaN, you need to here this (http://download.yousendit.com/51B8C5A06DA67855). 1953 Formula One BRM P15 with 1500cc V16 supercharged doing a full lap of, I think, Paul Ricard (but I'm not 100% sure).

I'm listening to it right now, pretty kick ass. I have a CD of sounds of the cars from Nick Mason's (Pink Floyd) collection that includes a 250GTO, a BRM 16, a Ferrari 512, D-Type, and more. It's pretty cool. They ran them all at Goodwood.

in the world, what would it be? I want a viper, or the car James Bond drives.

The Oscar Meyer Weiner Truck, hands down.

Ahem. CtoaN, do you ever worry about.. oh.. I don't know.. death? I mean.. I just learned more about Veronica, and if it wasn't for her lack of breaks, side mirrors, I might drive in that with you, but.. :p

Did you ever see The Unfair Advantage?

Do you know how many people assume they can get a ride with you when you own a van? And when suddenly they get a close look at her suddenly they think that they might be able to walk...

Smoke and mirrors, my friend. I've had my baby now for over 10 years and I only once rear ended a new bettle, when the brakes where really really out and I didn't get to the hand brake in time. That dent in the orc tooth of the front bumper is my souvenir.

Did you ever see The Unfair Advantage?

No, but I'm guessing it's to do with how ridiculously far ahead of its competitors the Quattro was?

Man..I would love to have been there when it first arrived.

Also because I would have got to see Group B. But I'd just love to be completely wowed by the Quattro first time I saw it.

All right, so I might feel safe riding in it. But I'll sit next to the closet, so I have a place to hide if anything goes wrong. *nods*

After all, my choices for vacation are down to Seattle and San Francisco.. Spotting Veronica would be a good photo op.

Were those bullet holes?

That closest is where I keep spare gas, oil, and the jumper cables...

Especially where she lives. If you make it out here we'll have to smoke some bowls on the DL...your parents can get their own weed ;p

That's where the badge used to be before it was stolen by hooligans...damn hooligans...

So basically I'll explode (http://www.jeremyparsons.com/personal/picture_pages/2002_Australia/VW_Van_Fire4@Adelaide.jpg) or choke to death.

How big is that island? This can possibly be arranged.

They probably sold it to buy pot.

It is, mostly about the Quattros in Trans Am racing, and about how dominant the car was in everything (including Group B) that it was banned or killed the series.

I was a kid when the Quattros came out and was just wowed. They where like slot cars compared to the others.

So basically I'll explode (http://www.jeremyparsons.com/personal/picture_pages/2002_Australia/VW_Van_Fire4@Adelaide.jpg) or choke to death.

That's why I don't sit people in the closet.

It's very small, actually. It's between Oakland and San Francisco next to the Bay Bridge. I live on the east side of the island.

I'm pretty sure I saw it on this dudes bus who tried to trade me his red one for my chrome one. Maybe I shouldn't have laughed at him...
