I have an '06 GTO, but had to settle for black on black. Couldn't find a decent Impulse Blue with a black interior. And it IS a dream car. Top three of best vehicles I've ever driven. ANd I have driven a LOT of cars.
My OTHER dream car is also a GTO:

Oddly enough,I spend the better part of my day surrounded by "Dream Cars",working on Lamborghinis,Ferrari's,Lotus,Aston Martin ,etc, is my bread and butter.
Unfortunately,because of my close proximity to all these "dream cars"...I've grown to dislike most of them.
So...this is my "Dream vehicle."...

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
this is almost identical to my old Jetta....I was heavily into MKIIs for 5 years, and I sold this glorious beast when I moved downtown...I can take apart MKII jettas and golfs down to nuts and bolts and put one back together in a weekend. I know them so well...my jetta had a non turbo 8v I built myself that had a 14 second quarter mile....thing was beast.
I would like to build another tornado red beauty...
do you pay a buck oh five a gallon in that?...does it run off freedom?

In them mean time, this rather pedestrian vehicle is my daily drive:
Yeah, I know - you see them *everywhere*. It gets me to work and all that ...
see..that is cool and all, but I could buy a cheap house, and have all of my dream machines, and have around 100,000 give or take left over, for the price of that car.

I actually love that color, and its the exact color I want on it.
And I appreciate you deciding what is cool for me...I could care less what you think. In the end, I have a better car than you when I'm riding that Viper....SLOTS!

My choice, the Pikes Peak Suzuki Escudo has over 1000 horse power and is capable of going up 90 degree inclines (straight up) until it runs out of gas. It's also capable of driving on the tops of tunnels indefinitely. My car is the best.

Presumably, you're talking about the Aston and not the MAN truck?
OK... Let's see if that's true.
under $300k Aston Martin DBS
vs
$100k cash
$100k for 5 clunkers in good, working condition
= under $100k for a shack to live in?
I dunno what sort of house you're planning to buy for $100k, but I'm kinda curious what you had in mind.

Used to have one of these, it was my baby. Sure, it wasn't in the greatest condition and it earned the name "Deer Killer" when I was in high school. Those deer didn't stand a chance against that solid steel body. But damnit, the deer just kept running out in front of me and I had bad breaks. It was a light blue with a faded white trim. It was my baby, I want her back.

not my dream car.. just my most recent.... And I swear it had Stealth, don't know how many times it was almost broadsided.
Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

I notice you didn't call it your 'dream ride' ... that would have left it open to a single entendre.
The Australian pulp novelist Matthew Reilly has a Delorean. It cost him around $30,000 to get it shipped to Oz. One of his mates got him a "flux capacitor" light up widget that hes yet to put into it.
Astin Martin DB7 is mine.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

I’m not really into cars much but i did like this one from NFS Tokyo Drift However I am more likely able to afford this one from Arab drift. And I bet this Taliban drifter could beat all of your dream cars in a drag race.
