Dream Car Talk

[MJ DeMarco]

96' Viper GTS coupe (blue/white)

LOL, I had one!

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Funny you should mention that. I was talking with one of the famous fast laners last week, and he is in pilot school. He sent me a photo of the plane he is buying, and he will be taking his solo flight log in his own plane.

In Arizona there are many housing communities with private airstrips where you can have your own hanger for your plane. I'd be a liar if I said I haven't looked into them. We talk about freedom here -- but having your own plane in your own hanger right next to your house, now that's freedom!

This bad boy right here. I was so close to having the Mrs on board to let me build one a couple months ago, too. Once our kid started crawling, the reality of that caused her to change her mind.

The crazy thing is, I've realized that my ideal lifestyle is basically that of a hobo with health insurance.

 

[Vigilante]

When I first came to the forum, I had grand plans I announced for the car I "was going to buy on that day."

Now that I can buy it, I don't want it. Maybe I don't need it, motivation-wise. Not sure.

My next ride is going to be a slightly used Lincoln MKZ. Cash.

 

[Almantas]

This is my beast!

Sweet ladder!

It's got wheels, that counts right?

I've never been a car guy, I'll be happy with a Tacoma all day every day. But the thing that makes my heart skip a beat is when I see this pretty lady on the taxi way at my local airport.

This is the first "I've made it" purchase I'll buy when money isn't a worry.

Nothing much, just a streetable version of this:

 

[tiagosoares17.22]

Doesn't need to be a DB11, but Aston Martin it will be that brand of a car I will own, due to what it represents to me.

 

[exclusives88]

I just got rid of my car and downgraded to a 9 year old car to focus on my business.

And it feels GREAT

This is sex on 4 wheels...

( Note : I'm well aware that people don't only work for a car and that there are other reasons to chase success in life .)

It's freedom for me. Material objects fall further down the list and stem from freedom anyhow.

When you're free and have your health, you can buy the car you dreamed of, the house, the toys, etc.

Would I love a brand new Tahoe or or a Maserati?

Absolutely.

But that's not what gets me out of bed in the morning.

 

[Ravens_Shadow]

Not particularly a car, but you can ride these things on a 7 1/2" railroad in your back yard. The freedom to build my own railroad is what I'm seeking.

If we're talking cars, it'd be a Ferrari 458, not interested in much else.

I've never been into cars. Just a simple Tesla Model S

Honestly I'd need at least $1 million before I ever cared enough to spend $100k on a car though. It doesn't motivate me, just happens to be a car I like.

How about this one, the BMW i8 Black & Blue edition; my dream car.

 

[Chinobey]

Nice choice bro!!! American Muscle all the way baby!!

I quite like modern american muscle cars but a classic american muscle car is by far my favourite type of american car such as the 66 mustang

 

[inputchip]

I'm not in it for the material processions, i'm in it for the freedom. But IMAGINE cruising down the highway in this beautiful car...would feel pretty free!!

 

[c_morris]

I'm not a car guy, but this one caught my eye during my Florida Vacation.





This is more my style:

 

[eliquid]

Im pretty simple...

I'm who @Vigilante is talking about. I've been working on my PPL and I plan to continue forward to the instrument rating. A standard PPL is stupid, I don't want to fart around the sky avoiding clouds all day.

I have since learned that I can't just go out and buy a high performance bad a$$ plane and get it insured as a new pilot. So unfortunately I'm going to have to buy a wimpy Piper first. Oh well... You have to start somewhere I guess.

I plan to transition from wimpy piper to Bonanza to Pilatus PC12. As a business guy that pays attention to the bottom line, owning and operating a Pilatus is always going to beat a jet.

And cost effective?? Kinda Just compare everything to a Gulfstream and you come out looking pretty good.

Airplanes aside, I'm on a Range Rover kick right now.

 

[ZCP]

But a Cessna 172 for $50,000. Get monthly payments of around $600/mo.
Complete your PPL in 3 months. You save ~50 hours x $100-120/hr in aircraft rental. That's $5000 on low estimate. That minus your $1,200 + ~$200/mo ish insurance. That's $3,400 in savings.
Throw in your instrument rating that's even more savings.
Either keep the plane and still save on rental time if you plan on doing at least 2 hours per week in flying.
Or sell the plane for close to what you paid for it.

Got to factor in your operating and maintenance costs. And the cool new headset. And the cool new flightbag. And the cool new handheld. And let's just fly up to so and so.....
Already have my license. Just need to get current (and find the time to do so!). The new rules on medicals should help..... guess I need to look back into this and update the budget!

This vehicle, this was my first dream car and still is

Someone make an SUV that can self drive and I'd pay $100k for it. That's all I want in a car now.

A real SUV, not the Tesla X.

It's hot rods all the way for me. In a style reminiscent of pre-1970. I especially like the 60s era hot rods like this blue '34 but also like the super traditional ones. Here's a few I'm aiming for again...








And for those who want to post "I'm not into cars"...etc. that's fine but this is a car thread so perhaps leave those comments for the other "what do you want?" threads. There are plenty of those. Let us car guys have our fun.

Any other hot rodders in here?
