What's your (current) dream car?

[Romeo Wolf]

At the moment I have a Lincoln MKS from 2010, which I'm not a fan of but it'll get me to work and save up for the car I really want.

Now my dream car is much, much cheaper than the Lincoln, but it's a car from late 90's GM that I've admired on and off for quite a few years now with its styling and features, but also because it reminds me of my grandma's white '98 Chevy Venture that I have many fond memories of (R.I.P.). It's a '97-'99 Pontiac Grand Prix, either SE or GT trim (not the GTP given that it runs on premium), ideally a 4dr sedan. Has good torque for the hilly PNW, decent mileage, awesome sub-less factory stereo, runs on the 3.1L 3100 or bulletproof 3.8L V6 3800 Series II.




What I plan to do is find a job that I will enjoy working at, and save up for a decent one while I can still find them fairly cheap around here, and turn it into a reliable daily driver and road trip car.

I am driving my dream car, a 2015 Honda Fit. It is fun to drive, has great performance, lots of cargo space, great gas mileage, comfortable seats and a decent stereo.

My mother is also driving her dream car, 2013 Toyota Prius Hybrid in 'sea glass pearl'. Gets up to 50MPG, also has good space (although she's been driving it to the ground in order to get to her assignments)

Likewise, I'm driving mine.
2013 BMW 128i Msport 6-speed manual. The last of the normally aspirated BMW inline 6-cylinders, with hydraulic steering. It's the same size as the 2002s I grew up on—but with 140-more horsepower and working air-conditioning!
If I need to go faster, I have motorcycles.

I am driving what I want to drive, but I would hardly call it a dream car. If I am going to dream of a car it isn't going to be an econobox. There're not dream worthy. I don't dream of finding a $20 bill blowing down the gutter.
Dream cars are something in Jay Leno's garage.
A dream new car might be a ZO6 Corvette.
A dream vintage car might be a 914/6 Porsche or maybe even a 917.

I have a pretty cool vintage hotrod that's my favorite muscle car body style but don't drive it on the street. I built a dream car for my brother, it was an all original 70k mile survivor 68 SS396 4speed Camaro that I built a 540 for with an overdrive 5 speed.

Every time I see one of those I'm blown away that something so sleek and beautiful was mass produced in America in 1963. Still the best looking sports car ever produced in North America.

1964 Ford Galaxie Q-code 427.

@Romeo Wolf 3800 supercharged is premium recommended!! Not necessary only slightly less performance & mpg if you use 87 octane!

 

[nolasally]

These two are my current lust cars!

Yeah, you'd get a knocking or pinging noise if you tried 87 octane on a supercharged, which I don't know if I'd want to deal with.

 

[nolasally]

@Romeo Wolf I speak from experience...No knocking or Pinging noise....Not all that is on the net is correct info....

I am driving my dream car. 2019 Corvette Z06 Vert.

 

[gadget73]

big fan of these, but slightly prefer them in hard top version. This is a '65 Coupe de Ville but any of this generation with the stacked headlights is fine by me. These ran through '68. I'm also fine with the Sedan de Ville. This is the right color too, that dark green really looks nice.



The first-generation Buick Riviera are also excellent, but after '65 the front end got kind of goofy looking and I don't like the lines anywhere near as much. Went from the clean early 60s look and started morphing into that 1970s bloated blob sort of style.

Did they come with those knock-off wire wheels?

 

[ra7c7er]

I had mine and even had it as my first car. Finding one now though between people buying them to make race cars and drift cars would cost more than I can afford. Not mine in photo btw. The car was stolen when I was 19.

I am quite happy with my 2014 Buick LaCrosse with 43K on it. One of the last real 4 door sedans. Buick does not even sell cars anymore, sad. I plan to drive it until parts are no longer available.
