Nissan X-trail
As long as it's a Nissan, I'm happy.
Beamer! any kind will do ;)

Something close to a sporty Ford Ka or something like that. I don't like the regular models much but I do like the sporty models.
Depends what I can afford in the future. I wouldn't mind a nice little run-a-round to start off with though. ;)
A Street-Ka?
That one is so cool, When I worked at Ford I was alloud to take a test drive, but I don't have my lincense.
Yeah, that's the name. They're quite expensive though so I don't think I'll be able to afford one straight away. :grrr:Quote:

1997 Mercury Grand Marquis
That's the car I wanted to get... and it was less expensive than you would think.
Jaguar Convertible XK8 :p preferably dark red
when i dream, i dream big ;)
Random note: My bro has a 1981 manual tranny beamer, god that thing is fun to drive!
:cheese:
Well lets, dream cars.. Heheh, plan to own atleast one of these someday:
First off, I gotta agree with Lunar, the 2007 Jaguar XK8 just screams mean. An Aston Martin influenced design from Ian Callum, it's gorgeous.

Like every good American, I'd also love a Chevy Corvette to call me own.

And the Lotus Elise, probably the sexiest, and surprizingly affordable, sports car ever made.

Oh! And I almost forgot. A 1982 Toyota Corolla, I can only pray that some day I'll come across one for sale in good condition at a time I can afford it.

(Not exactly accurate, best I could find on short notice)
My dream car = The Cadillac Sixteen
(http://www.cadillac.com/cadillacjsp/...ction=photoExt)
Why? 16 cylinder, 1000 Hp, 1000 lb/ft of torque. And it's rear-wheel drive!
http://www.cadillac.com/images/model...toExt2_med.jpg
Current Car: 2001 Kia Rio
Desired weekend/touring car: Honda S2000
Desired commuter car: Honda Insight
Probably won't have enough money for the latter two for quite some time, got the college loans to pay off after all.
I would like to drive a Mini Cooper at some point though. Just re-watched The Italian Job last night and they seem pretty fun.
I'd love to get an 05' Ford GT... not the mustang gt or the Gt40.. Its called just the "GT".
But currently I have 3 vehicals.
1996 Z34 w/ 3.4 DOHC motor
1989 Daytona ES w/ 2.5 Turbo1 motor
and my most fave my 1992 F-150 4x4 XLT with a 300hp 5.0L Mustang motor.
I can post pictures if ya'll want me to.
I actually want an old XJS, like this one...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...546848469&rd=1
But, my parents refuse to allow me to buy a used car, so I'll have to get a Mini Cooper S.
Ummm.. yeah.... lol.. double post.. and I qouted my self.. lol

It did have that sub until it was stolen >.<
it was cool while it lasted ;)
Hmmm, for a dream car i would have to say a '66 Shelby Cobra with the 427 side-oiler motor, no car on the road could touch the Cobra, not even a Ferrari from the time (which is saying a lot cause the Cobra is straight up American).
But for a car that is in reach it would have to be a '50 Ford 2-door coupe with the original 239 Flathead, may only make 85 to 100 horsepower but nothing else sounds like a flatty.
Nice Dodge.
I can see how that sub location would draw the attention of thieves. Next time you should probably use a concealed location if possible, or maybe use a cover when parked.
i guess a car i would really like to have would be a Lexus or something ;)
currently i drive a 2004 Toyota Camry

actually it was broken into while I was living in Texas with the worst crime rate ever! It was broken into on my first day of college >.<Quote:

In my sub-division though nothing has happened to it yet. I put a new cd player in it because the old was stolen also I put my amp back in which was not stolen because it was bolted down too tight and I got new rear speakers because the others were stolen
Not trying to kill your dream of course 04, but I drove a Viper once, and really didn't like it. Felt kinda cheap, and was uncomfortable. Mighta just been me though.
:D
I don't think it was just you, I think that a lot of people who owned Vipers didn't like it as well. I've known a few people that owned vipers, and when their lease expired on it, they didn't lease it again. They usually go for the Porsches after having a Viper. I've also seen how cramped the interior is.Quote:

No car ever made can ever match the power, grace, beauty, and style of the 1959 Cadillac (shown here: Eldorado). *drools*

You'll have lots of fun driving from gas station to gas station.Quote:

Mm.. so many nice cars, hehe. I'd like a yellow sports car, maybe a lambourgine (or however it's spelt) or a corvette. Something nice... and expensive :p :D
It's spelled "Lamborghini", and the new Mercielagoroadster looks brilliant. I saw it in person at an auto show, and it was awesome. There's also the pagani zonda , if you like the dramatic styling of the Italians.Quote:

idk my expierence with a Viper was AWESOME!!!! I like the interior, kind of hard getting intro the drivers seat because I'm tall but it is quite comfortable, I've driven all kinds of expensive Mercedes cars, Porches, 350Zs, Impreza WRXs, Lancer EVOs, plenty of BMW M3's, Jaguars and so on and so far the Dodge Viper is still my favorite even though I haven't got to personally drive one I have rode in one up to 160 mph :cheese:
See that... right there shows how much I know about cars... or rather, how much I don't know! :DQuote:

You'd probably ditch the Viper if you drove a 427 Cobra, I'd imagine that the Cobra would be an awesome car. I'd import a new AC Cobra from England (AC still makes the Cobra), so I could have bragging rights about having an authentic AC Cobra.Quote:

Heheh, it's alright Becca.
And personally I'd by a Vet and supe it up. I'll leave a viper in the dust, save my money while doing it, and be more comfortable to boot. ;)
Though, in all the cars I've ridden in and more limitedly, have driven. Nothing ever seems better made, or is more fun to drive, than a BMW. I used to think they were kinda ugly, but they are just damn great cars.
Those Caddies actually got around 13 mpg, considerably better than many SUVs today. They also had a 21 gallon tank, and ran on leaded fuel for better efficiency.Quote:

Don't be dissin' on teh l33t 1950s! Plus, gas was a few cents per gallon back then, too...
Oh, btw... Your Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster 2004 gets 10 mpg avg, with a tank capacity of 26 gallons.
The Lamborghini is 10mpg for city and 14mpg for highway (besides, I'd still say a British car would be preferred, I've never liked the styling of the Italians). But you forgot that you would have to change the engine on the Caddy to make it accept unleaded gas.Quote:

Oh, I'd just put a 1943 P-51D 12-cylinder Allison airplane engine in it, 1,200 HP and crazy torque. Stop at the airport for gasoline, lol. I really would like to try that someday, putting an old WW2 aircraft engine in a large car (like the '59 Caddy). Aircraft engines are meant to operate best at high altitudes, with thinner air and less O2, so being on the ground is like a natural air compressor for it.Quote:

Put a tank engine in it like Jay Leno did.Quote:

I own a Geo Prism. Cheap and trouble prone, but it gets me were I need to go. Being in the city, I would rather walk or bike, and save gas money.
My dream car is a Pontiac Firebird.
Cars have never been my strong area, so take my words for what there worth.
I would like a/an:
-Ferrari (anyone)
-Aston Martin (anyone)
-Rolls Royce (anyone)
-DeLorean
-Cadillac (anyone)
-X-wing ( :p )
-Formula one ( :evilgrin: )
I'd have a couple McLarens. Then I could sell all but one and buy stupid things that I'll never need, like glasses for chickens or life insurance.
