Dream cars!

[wombat2u2004]

In the older sport cars this was my favorite. Sunbeam Tiger. I owned one just
like this one, Mine had the ford 289 instead of the 260. love to have it back.

Yeah I remember them, they were a little bigger than the Austin Healey Sprite with the MG body. Never drove one, but seen a few of them on the road.
One of my favourites was the Subaru Vortex, I had one of those for about 8 years, bought it in 1999, and sold it only a few years ago now. I loved that car, so smooth to drive, and the turbo was unreal.....really made them move along. And the air suspension....pure magic.

Did that model have the turbo icon on the dash?

The one that would light up when you hit the gas???

Your car called the Vortex in Australia and NZ was the XT for the opposed 4 and the XT6 for the Opposed 6. Both cars were turbocharged. Nice symmetrical AWD system. It is different in the Audi & VW since Symmetrical is mostly Mechanical in nature while the Audi AWD system has 7 computers controlling the system. There is something to be said for simplicity since I messed mine up once by removing the cover from my cabin filter and not replacing properly. It had a heavy rain and the lose cabin filter cover allowed water to flood my floorboard. Guess where one of my computers was. Right under my passenger floor carpet. I was able to find one on ebay for $200 other wise $1400 from dealer.
It was in limp mode so I just had to wait until the new unit came.

Subaru never actually made many of the Vortex, so they are a pretty rare car here. I read that it was Subaru's first go at a sports coupe, so they put everything into them. They had every feature inbuilt into them.
AND, what may interest you, was the inside dashboard and controls...evidently Subura at the time were making aeroplanes, and the dash of the Vortex was very similar to look at, and built along those lines.
But I loved that car to bits. I wish now I never sold it.

I am not fond of the 'rounded' style car bodies, but this car revs my engine.

How about an Audi R8 Spyder It has a V10 525 HP Lamborghini powerplant

Audi owns Lamborghini so the Lamb engine is really an Audi (GERMAN) engine.



You might like the All Carbon fiber R8 Razor GTR with the 525 HP (Both CARS ARE ALL WHEEL DRIVE)

Yep, that's the one. And once that light was on, man they really scooted along.

i also really adore F150 '77 Ranger trucks too

[Roxyluvsme13]

Mmm, cars I find it weird that I like cars so much haha. But right now, I'm stuck on this.

Yellow 2010 Camaro, preferably a Convertible


I like a lot of other cars too, but this is my current favorite

[molucass]

Ford Super Chief. Supposedly coming out in 2012.

[Suki Wingy]

This is an old thread but I started it so there.
I want this:

1989 Audi Quattro! What they used in Ashes to Ashes.

But of course I'll be settling for much less. I'm just hopeful they'll finance me for the 2000 Saturn SC 3 door I'm going to look at on Saturday.


(not the one I'm looking at, just a picture I found of the same year, make, model, and color)

A horse.


I HATE cars and how they make us treat each other. We are at our worst behind the wheel.

My $.02

[Alysser]

Ford Raptor - gets about 12 MPG but I still have my little elantra which I would use, this is just a dream.



FJ Cruiser - except I want the blue one, my uncle has one and I love it!



Jeep Wrangler - preferably of the YJ variety, and lifted.

I have a thing for trucks.

My first car was the Saturn CS 3 door, in fact my sister has it now for good. Man the things I did to that poor car...but anyway, yeah it's a very cute little car! Ours is 2002, red, 3-door. You'll get alot of comments on having a 3-door car. The only thing I didn't like about it was how sucky the radio was, but I think all saturns have crappy radios I'm also not a low car person, and it was very very low.

Puckstop I need a car to get to my barn to see my horse! And my family who live 270 miles away from me!

And Alyssa I'm really hoping they finance me or I'll have to scrape together more cash very quickly and buy a car with cash, what I had to do last time with my junker Mazda. The only way I could see them denying me is my income, even though I can afford payments, the car is only $3k.

And I used to walk by a poster of the FJ Cruiser concept that was hanging up in the shop hallway of my high school, I so wanted one, until I found out the gas mileage!
