Thorsten Veblen once wrote: Property is still in the nature of trophy... meaning that people define themselves by both what they acquire and what they desire. Nowhere is this more evident than in the automobile. On the whole, no other machine is so finely engineered and desirable to men then the auto. So imagine for a second that money is not an object and you could have any car in the world. What would it be?

For me, my ultimate car would be a real Rally Car like the Subaru Impreza model:

I'd tune it up and run heats over Gaurdsmen pass, doing laps between ski resorts. But for a nice drive on normal roads I'd have to have an all-American classic reborn from one of the greatest muscle cars ever made -the Shelby Series 1:

I would buy an old T-Bird, and put the rest of the money against a house...:)

Actually, my dream car was a 1977 Ford Elite, my first car!!!:) It was metallic Jade Green, and had around 100,000 miles on it. My Dad sold it after I joined the Army:(...

I do miss that car...
 
He he he, wanna get back to the future, civ1? ;)
My dream car would be the new Lamborghini Murcielago. Even faster than a Diablo. I've never been a great fan of Ferrari (too classical designs), I always preferred Lamborghini for their sharp forms.

0-60mph within 4 sec...
I wouldn't say no to a Diablo, nor a Countach though :)
Btw, it's funny, all the Lamborghini cars have the name of a famous corrida bull... Maybe it's the symbol of power.

Well maybe it's'because the logo of Lamborghini has a bull in it.:p

Looks like a Lamborghini......

I would like: The Lamborghini Roadster
Lamborghini v 6.0
Lamborghini GT & GTR
[Sorry for the lack of pictures]
 
I've always been a great fan of English sports cars... my dream car would be the Jaguar XKR ( in blue metallic with white leather seats ... and manual gear, of course ) , with the Aston Martin DB7 as a close second
 
There are faster cars, when it comes to affordable fun this is my dream car:

Corrado VR6: 3 liter engine, 200 HP, 1100 kg. And it is practical too. Best thing, I owe one, not yellow but bourgondy red!

Did you know the Bugatti engine is essentially based on the Corrado VR6? :D :D :D :D

The VR6 is extended to a VR8 with appr. 4000 cc. Two of those combined make a W16 of appr. 8000 cc. Finally the horses come out of 4 turbos.
 
This would probably cost a few million: Ferrari F2002 F1 car

But the cops couldn't catch me in it:D
Or: Citroen WRC car:

For a street car: Saleen S7

Give me either a nice ex cop Holden Commodore, or a Range Rover. Other than that I will be most satisfied; Anything is better than a Honda Civic...

Hehe, I am also fan of Lotus series, especially the Esprit. Maybe because I played Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge too much on Amiga :D But anyway I love that car too.

Balrog, looks like you're another Lambo fan ;) great, I'm quite bored that most of them (including TF) prefer Ferrari.

But I think the actual dream car would speak like Knight Raider's car, would travel through the time (back to the future), and would be as long as a Limousine, so it would have a swimming pool, a mini gold in it! :) but I think i'm really dreaming.
 
AC Cobra my prefered classic
