What Car or Truck do you like but can't affort?

[a1rocketpilot]

Too many to list here in any effective manner. Possible options for next car (around 2010-2015 timeframe) include:

Alfa Romeo Brera (That car is just plain sexy) (And yes, Alfa is coming back to the US in 2009!!)
BMW M3 (E46)
BMW M5 (If I know enough to maintain a car properly, the old handbuilt I6 version)
RX-7 (Knowledge of car maintenance would be good here too)
Supra (Same car maintenance thing)
1994 3000GT VR-4 (Same...)

At higher price points:
A Porsche of some sort
Acura NSX
Maybe an old exotic

Those are reasonable ones, with the first list being much more likely to happen than the second. A lot depends on how much I can earn and save up during college, and what my work/study profile is going to be like after my undergrad.

Just the BMW M3.

 

[r3cc0s]

i'd be happy with a G Wagen AMG 55 w/ military spec full floating hubs

 

[soundboy]

I'll be relatively realistic....Honda Ridgeline (in silver, please)

 

[Illah]

Realistically: Infiniti G35 Sport with some nice rims

Down the road: BMW M5 with some nice rims

I've never had any desire for a sports car, I don't see the point. They also tend to look tacky and overdone, it's like screaming, "LOOK AT ME...PLEASE LOOK AT ME!"

Regular maintenance and upkeep, and they'll just keep running. I'll never sell it. As for a dream car, I've got an eye on the older Morgans. I could afford one, but don't have anywhere to put it. For now. A few years from now, I'll pick one up. They have classic styling, are reliable, fun and easy to wrench on. Also, they're unlike anything else on the road.

I've always thought about trading my '92 Integra GS for one, but I figure that I don't have enough time to give the RX7 a proper matenience. The Integra just takes all the punishment I give it, and it asks for more! Hell my dad's integra (yea, we got two '92 GS's) is at about 350 000km, without tuneups, and it runs just beautifully.

[kramer5150]

Lots of honorable mentions....

McLaren F1
Honda NSX
Lotus Elise

But my fave... Ferrari 308 GTO... Like Magnum PI on steroids

 

[Sleestack]

I really want the upcoming Ferrari F 430 Challenge Stradale. I think it would make for a great daily driver that would be equally comfortable on the track.

I've always wanted a Subaru WRX. For some reason I jsut love those cars. A ferrari or a nice exotic would be fun but I don't see it ever happening. Also would anyone else almost feel weird driving aroudn in some really nice car? I drive an old 93 mazda protege (runs like a champ still!) and its great having an old beat up type car. Like if it gets scratched or dinged up or whatever, I don't even care. Heck someone could hit and run on my bumper and it wouldn't be a big deal as long as there was no serious damage. So even when I finally do get my nicer car someday, I still think I'll probably keep an older knock around type car in the yard for random use. Or maybe pick up an older subaru to sue in the winter when all the salt and crap is on the roads.

 

[KYTGuy]

an ATOM, maybe modded a little wider at the cockpit, with my old SVO engine making just a little over 400 HP.

The One and Only "Chezoom"...

...that's all....

uh, (EDIT), a Morgan Aero 8, too please...

 

[ken36]

I would like a RR Silver Shadow. I can afford the car, but the maintenance will consign me to the agony of the homeless.
