But seriously I am a dodge nut

So is my Dad...he drives a Dodge minivan

I hate red x's

I can't edit... yet.

I would cut my pinky and some of my ring finger off for one of these...



Incase you don't know what it is... http://www3.us.porsche.com/english/usa/carreragt/modelinformation/technicalspecifications/default.htm

I'm a riceboy. I like Japanese.
Car that that I aspire to buy some time soon is the R34 Nissan Skyline GTR.
Also love the pre-95 UK 200sx (240 in US, 180 in Australiasia).

Wouldn't mind a TVR Cerbera as well. One of the few examples of modern British engineering that doesn't totally blow.

Porsche 911 Turbo [or Carrera]
McLAren F1
or FORD's prototype: GT90 - 720 or so HP. 0-60 in under 3 seconds.
- Has the same tiles NASA uses for under the fuselage of their shuttles for re-entry. [because of heat on take off/re-entry]
- Utilises same shoulder harnesses the shuttle does; take-off speeds of course

or the Ferrari F-50.

Hey Aleatoric no Nissan Z (the latest one)?

I like the mileage on it too. Pretty good but it is most likely so because of the small size of the car.

Hippy, the Nissan Skyline is one of the coolest cars. Smoooooooth.

Hey joe!

Yep, a new Z. I listed the 350Z convertible

For one of the current crop of new cars, that'd be right up there on the top of the list (It'd be a close call with the Z4, but the Nissan costs quite a bit less).

I listed cars that I figured I could *possibly* have a chance to acquire (therefore no McLaren F1 or Ferrari F50, etc.), however a *true* wishlish would have those in it for sure .

If I wanted a truck, I'd probably go with a Dodge, a friend of mine has one, very nice!

Oh i forgot to add... why do we need competition? We have the best and we are the best. Best minds in the world are in the US.

And you're a great example kona.
The car industry is multi-national .... and people who 'think' buy the best that suits their needs.
American manufactured cars (more or less) suit the market in America .... bring them to a country like England and they don't fit the roads!
Run them anywhere but on a highway in Australia and they disintegrate!
Use one in Germany and people fall about laughing!
Run one around Italy and get blown off by a variety of Vespas and Minicars!
Point to consider ... a Harley is nothing more than a throwback and is usually 'ridden' (in Australia) by middle-aged men undergoing the male menopause.
Serious riders run a Ducati or even better, an Aprilia!
Head cases go for Fireblades and the hard cases run big Kwakas!
The oddballs (with big bucks!)go for the Moto Guzzi LM and the occasional Buell ....
Contrary to the image most Aussie revheads try to project, the bulk of the Ford-GM market in this country are either straight 6 Falcons or V6 Commodores ... NOT hairy V8 beasties!
Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi sell in the upper price slot while such nasty devices Proton, Kia, Hyundai and assorted el cheapo Korean rubbish have their niche.
The biggest curse we have to tolerate are so-called 'People Movers' (one female driver, a pair of primary school age brats, mobile phone in one hand, lipstick in the other) ..... and worse, the 'SUV'.... aka 'Simply Useles Vehicle'!
What was the original question?
Our 'day to day driver' ... BMW 320i .... my wife likes it!
My personal transport, Aprilia Mille RSR ....
For sunny days and pissing off Porsche owners .... Caterham Super Sports mit 20V Toyota grunt .... one I built myself.
Wet weather 'spare time' project ... Ford GT40 replica ... at least another 3 years worth of work.
Practical 'dream car' ... full bore BMW M3 mit all der Cherman go-faster bits painted radar reflective stealth grey!
Impractical 'dream car' .... 1956 Scaglietti bodied Ferrari 250LWB TdF Berlinetta
And a daily driver I'd like to own for those 'road rage days'..... a Hummer .... in 'Urban Camouflage' paint of course!
Current vehicles I detest ... the Mazda RX8, ANY 'Jaguar' produced under Ford ownership, Chrysler's coyote-ugly 'Retro Mobiles', Ford Europe's Ka and Focus .... and all the jelly moulded blobs by Honda, Toyota etc.

Why? I know plenty from a time before Hummers were invented .... they used 'Mutts' back then!
