What kind of car/truck/motorcycle do you have or want?

Post Reply New Topic

That's always been my dream car. But a bit less practical than my Astra.

I don't have a car and don't want one. It's way too expensive for me, and I don't like the fact that cars do so much damage to the environment. I ride my bike or take public transportation.

But since this thread is more about fantasy cars, I do think that the Mini Cooper is rather cute and stylish.

I just sold my car, so I am currently car-less. I love 80s to early 90s Pontiac Firebirds. I have a major 'thing' for them. But I love American muscle cars in general. As for more current cars, I reeaallly like Subarus. Mostly the Imprezas, don't really care if it's a sedan or station wagon type. I like the Legacy wagons as well, but really the Imprezas are what get me. I drove an Infiniti ('02 I35) today and really fell in love with it...I prefer a car that is a manual, but I really enjoyed that Infiniti despite it being an automatic.

As for motorcycles...I have only driven smaller ones. I have a TW200 which I think are quite cute, cool and versatile As for the cooler looking bikes, I like the looks of (in this order): Triumphs, Moto Guzzis, then Ducati Monsters.

Motorcycles were a bit of a special interest for me for a while there (even got my license) and I love cars, but don't know much about them.

If I won 150 million dollars(for example) in the lottery I would get a 2-door 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs and give it the body parts (bumpers etc) from the 1993 Impreza L (base model) and then, I would put in the engine and drive-train of a more current Impreza (STI swap) (at least 300HP, but at 2700LBs or less)

Its roughly the same platform, so it would take little to no fabrication. And since the 90s STI spec had 276HP, you could even consider it somewhat stock in a way.

It wouldn't look fast, but it would be fast. Thats a sleeper. The only indication I would give it that its an STI, is I would give it a black "i" logo in the front. So to most people it'd look slow, but to a sharp eyed Subaru enthusiast, they'd know it was an STI.


So this body (except in good shape and 2-door)


With the 300+ HP engine and drive train (STI swap) from:

If the last image appears skinny, thats because this forum resized it, but didn't scale it right. Darn you forum re-sizer thing.

Landrover Defender 110 Old style, new interior

The interior is where you spend most of your time anyways, so makes sense to make that nicer.

And the Defender is one of the few that has all solid axles, so its probably the best Landrover for offroad use.

Plus it just looks awesome

In the future, when I'm rich, I want these:



And last but certainly not least, a Maybach 62:

...And here's the interior of that Maybach:


For now, though, when I get my first car next year, I want one of these:


A lot less glamorous, but hey, it's early days

(sorry for double posting, but there seems to be a limit on the number of images per post)

I currently have a Toyota Celica (entry level '95 model) with a few (JDM-)modifications.

For those interested I've got a whole category about it on my blog: http://www.marijnrongen.com/category/Toyota%20Celica.

I like a lot of cars, especially japanese sports cars, but for now I'm very happy with my Celica.

As for bikes; you won't see me driving anything with less than 4 wheels, but the Suzuki GSX-R 750 is a nice one. My brother-in-law has one:

oh thanks

how you guys put the pictures up

When typing a message, above the text box are 7 buttons. The one to the left of the you Youtube button, the one that has a mountain and sun, hit that.

Go to the page in a new window or tab that has the pic you want, right click and hit copy image LOCATION, or right click and hit properties and copy the URL and past that into where it asks you to paste it.

I want a 1965 Mustang.

I have a silver Toyota Avalon that I like very much. I love cars. I would like a porsche 911 pre-1981 and a BMW 3 series sedan. I prefer four doors. The 911 would just be for me going out to get tickets.

I hate cars for various reasons, one of them is that you have to sell your soul to a car note unless you buy a beater (under $2000) just to get where you need to go. I never even bother to get a drivers license because Maryland state law requires me to pay for a driving school and to get 60 hours of driving experience no matter that age. But if I wanted a car, this is that car I would love to have.



A Smart car. I seen one car when I was in the United Kingdom in 2006. It's a two seater car that is small and basic for my needs.
