ResidentWeevil2077 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Just a simple thread to find out what kinds of vehicles forum members like. You can choose whatever kind of car that tickles your fancy. Me, personally, I like any kind of good looking car, more specifically American Muscle. Something like a '69 Dodge Charger (the original Charger, not the so-called "new" model), but I also like some of the newer models too, like the Pontiac Solstice. I generally like the Dodge brand, but I pretty much like anything nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberiu911 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 The Solstice does look good :). Personally I always had a little something for Acura's RSX. I love how that car looks like, nice and sporty. The new (2007) Honda Civic has its charms as well. I also like the Ford Mustang, and if I where to chose one of those expensive exotic cars, it would be a Lamborghini Murcielago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Keep your cars, I'll take a very different form of license: http://www.air-and-space.com/20030823%20Ca...0flight%20l.jpg Coming to an airport (or any 100' vaguely flat space, really) near you by 2015! Of course there's also my "when I win the lottery" toy.... http://www.aeronautics.ru/img003/f5e-01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja_lord666 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'm not very big on looks. Me being from Wisconsin, I need to drive through snow, sleet, ice, etc. and a small little sports car would spin out of control and crash. I prefer any large, wide car with good tires. Like my mom's Oldsmobile.My dream car would be an SUV sized tank. Snow and ice would be nothing to it. If I got into a crash, I might have some scratches on the paint, but not much else. I know I may not be the most "stylish" driver, but I haven't gotten into a crash, not even once. (It helps that I've only been driving for nine months :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those I can say are still WAYYYY better than the H3s. I suppose I don't mind driving a Hummer, but they're gas-guzzlers. I'm not spending $200 just to get 3 gallons of petro.

It would have the tracked "wheels," the big gun, the armoured plating, everything. I know it's not realistic, but since when do dreams have to be realistic?

karkarinus Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I have an '05 MINI Cooper, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I've driven all sorts, from the H3 to the DB9, Murciélago, Pagani Zonda, BMW M6 etc, and I can honestly say that the MINI is pretty much the most fun you can get while still being usable on a daily basis. (Oh, and the only one of the above that I can afford :P) SUV-wise, the Inifinity FX is a damn good car, but you can't get the warranty validated in Europe at the moment. The new BMW X5 is very nice, but I haven't driven it..... yet! I am currently staring at the arse-end of a brand new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano...... can't wait!!!! :D EDIT: If I ever manage to get myself a "weekend spin" car, I'd LOVE an AC Cobra, albeit a replica.

Faster than an M1 Abram MBT, with almost as much armour. I have an '05 MINI Cooper, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

That's actually my dream machine, and although I did say I prefer American Muscle, a sky-blue MINI is the exact thing I'd keep. Not only is it very funcitional, but the MINI has style 8) . A Cobra would also be my "weekend spin", specifically a 1965 blue Cobra with white racing stripes. Of course, I'd take the Aston Martin DB5 for a spin any day ;D !

karkarinus Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Yes, yes, YES! Dark blue with twin white racing stripes, chrome rollbars and wirespoke wheels... Just the ticket 8) As I'm never likely to be rich, I'd settle for the DAX Cobra, or in particular the Gardner Douglas 427 which comes with a tubular spaceframe and can be ordered with interchangeable chassis components, so you can start with a Ford pinto and work your way up to a 5.7 Chevvy or even a BMW straight-six out of an M3. Also a darn sight more reliable than the original AC or its U.S. Shelby equivalent. Yesh, the Ashton Martin DB5 ish a shplendid piece of work, Moneypenny. Perhapsh the finesht of all time. :) It was voted the coolest car in history by Top Gear a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
