Dream car
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
I was at a Chrysler dealership when they came out. Almost impossible to get one and they were going for 40k over sticker when they did.
Gotta be baby blue like the one I rode in.
Like Johnny B Goode said in the movie, "I love you......and your Pacer, coach" only line I remember from that movie.
Was at ISF this year and there was an elec Hummer there. I checked it out and sure it looked neat but impractical for most.
GM rep told me if you're on the waiting list, you can sell that same day and make $50k right now.
I remember being disappointed when it seemed to give way to the PT Cruiser. Turning something cool into...that.
Apparently the demand is there for people to flip them right away.
I've never ordered a vehicle so I don't know about "rules" with having to keep an order if someone has a down-payment/paid for it.
In high school an old 1966 Pontiac 2+2 convertible with a 421 tri power and 4 speed. Never did get one.
When I was young adult and struggling my dream car was a clean old VW Rabbit diesel. Found one for about $500. That thing had a 10 gallon tank, and I could go from DSM to KC and back on a tank of fuel. Would get 50+ mpg on the interstate. The trip was less than $20. The ride was like a tin can being hit by a hammer and felt like you had to get out and push on the hills but what a cheap ride.
When I was little older and not struggling so much my dream car was a BMW ZM. A little Z4 with the M motor. Had one for about 3 years. Would go 0-60 in just over 4 seconds which I thought was great for a little 6 cylinder, and would get almost 30 mpg on the highway.
Now.......something that won't break down all the time and when it does.....not impossible to work on.

1999 Acura NSX Alex Zanardi Edition. (US Version of the 1997 Type S).
Honda S2000.
Honda S2000.
The early models of those........the sound of those motors winding the rpm's was incredible.
A legit one is the correct answer…….
I could be persuaded to go with a 289 FIA version as the HP to weight on a 427 is INSANE. The 289 models of the time could outrun the Ferraris of the day.
If you order one, the price and everything is agreed upon already. That would make sense. Otherwise if the market is that hot, the dealer will add the 50k to the MSRP as their price and take the profit themselves.
It would be a wonderful time to sell them then. Taking in 14k or so a vehicle would be nice.
There's an outfit up in Canada that can build you a performance chassis and electric drivetrain resto-mod old trucks.
Now you know what I feel like when people start posting about gaming. Just no interest.
To each his/her own. No problem with that. Just leaves more for those of us who do.
A year with the car, or a year with Jennifer?
Note, does not need to come with Ms. Gardner.
