What about a 1967 Cadillac ElDorado convertible? Hot pink! With whale skin hubcaps, all-leather cow interior, and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. You can drive around at a hundred and fifteen miles per hour, getting one mile per gallon!

A Mazda RX-7 or Honda NSX will do it for me and I'll definately own an RX-7 one day.

Eurocars ftw.
I had to decide between that, the F50GT, the legendary Testarossa or the Jaguar XJ220.
I decided against the 220 because any car where each tyre costs $10k to replace is a little bit on the expensive side for me.

Hahah, yeah. I'm not too fond of Jaguars at all, though. :/ The Enzo's a great car, but.. yeah. Not too common.  Though it'll be cool when some racing games finally put that freaking car in there. (w00t)
Eva 77 - I'm more partial to the DB9 than the Vanquish. Probably 'cause it looks cooler.

If you mean an FC, there's not many around that haven't been thrashed or are just old. I'm seeing more and more FD's here these days. I guess due to the whole 10 year thing.
Not sure what my favourite car is :S

Toyota Corolla RT80 (1970) Sedan. Best. Car. Ever.
Mini CooperS 1965-70: Cool.

Mazda2: My next car!
Anything with more than 4 cylinders is for men with small d***s.

Many many reasons, all of which require little explaination. I'm currently getting around in an R33 GTS, would like to make that GT-R sometime in the next 5 years, as I'd like a 'dream car' that's actually obtainable. |

Not my choice in design, but good car.
Veyron is good. TVR Sagaris good. Koenigsegg also good. Prefer the Sagaris for style.

I think a Monster Garage car would do me. Doesn't matter what it was originally, it's the final product that matters and they do some wicked mods.
A Gogomobile would be interesting to be in and so to one of those 70's BMW's that make you think of pimps and foreign embassy vechiles.
But realistically, it would have to be a Feroza. Ever since I saw one years ago, I thought about buying one. I'll have to get around to it someday.

I agree... The DB9 is also a fantastic car. Either will do. Also I wouldn't mind an oldschool Pontiac Trans Am like the Bandits!

Hey!!! I drive a Commodore and happen to think that I'm a very good driver.
If you want to talk about bad drivers, you don't have to look any further than a Volvo... I haven't seen a good example of driving from anyone behind the wheel of one of those.

OH LOL someone might actually aspire to own a reasonably priced, quality built, good looking car with decent performance and loads of potential. HOW DARE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A REALISTIC GOAL!
But how would I know. I only drive a turbo import every single day.

I've held the keys to my friend's Porsche 928. XD Not that I can actually *drive* it or anything... but I'm taking you literally. Then again, the 928 isn't really.. that.. expensive anymore. (Relatively)
But, yeah. Stormo's bashing of Japanese cars is bad. *cheers for rotaries*
