On the subject of cars.... what's your REALISTIC dream car?

So we have people in all age groups here. Some of us are just beginning their careers and some have accomplished a lifetime of hard work. With that said, do you own your dream car or is it still a dream!????

So what is your "REALISTIC" dream car? The car you hope to own one day.

If you already own it, please share!


Pics, specs, price, value, etc...

A Saturn Sky. I've wanted one since they came out. I'm planning to get one as soon as my current car dies. Yes, I know it's impractical, but I've been practical most of my life. It's time for a little whimsy.

I just watched the TV show Motorweek and they were reviewing a 2009 Bentley. The ceramic brake option for the car was $29,000 alone!

I'm more of a luxury guy. Don't care on super performance that much. A realistic car I could afford, but would never buy...

I always promised myself a 911 Turbo when I was young.

Now that I am "old" the whole idea seems a little cheesy so it's a no go for me.

A brand new Porsche 911 Turbo LOL in about 20 years!

$150,000+ USD Retail sigh.........

good choice of car.

im sure a spanking new 911 turbo in 20 years will not look like a 997 turbo

was pleased when porsche decided to go back to a "more traditional" style head light after the 996 model.

This one (Aston Martin DB9 convertible) ever since I first saw one on a London street about 5 years ago.

One of the following:
1961 Corvette - 283/315 FI
1965 Corvette - 327/365 (or my Dad's '64, but that will likely go to my brother)
Ferrari 550 Maranello - later years

Well, since I need a kid-hauler I guess a Toyota Sequoia. Gas guzzler, though.

My problem is I dont think I could ever bring myself to spend more than 20k (at current inflation value) on a new or used car. There are too many great cars of all kinds in that price range.

I've yet to own an Aston and this one looks pretty darn interesting. And this color will do fine.

To each his own, Chris. Red is fine, but not for the Porsche TT, IMO. The "Yellow Bird" is an historic car.
