Whats your dream car or truck?
 
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!

Good taste! :cool:

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

Doug 07-04-2005 09:36 PM

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

Invigor 07-04-2005 09:58 PM

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

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

muck 07-05-2005 07:07 PM

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!:

Quote:

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.

P.S. Where are those pics taken?

Delphinus 07-06-2005 03:29 PM

I adore Ghias .. Maybe some in some nicer condition would be even cooler! :lol:

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

scotchy 07-06-2005 08:20 PM

Ok I'll try this. Thanks for the help Ryan.

LostMind 07-10-2005 09:21 AM

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 07-16-2005 12:39 AM

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:

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 07-24-2005 04:31 PM

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


http://www.aiada.org/images/news_pho...id_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: .

Do it Tony!!


I appreciate the practical and efficient. I love my 86 Golf diesel, but it is going to die. I am doing renos so I want a truck, and I have a growing family.

This has been on my desktop for the past week:

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.

Edit: This baby is nice, 56 Ford.
