    It's easy to say that before I got married I would have loved to buy something like a Mustang, but now that I am married and that we have a couple of children I find myself being drawn to the Ford Escape. It just seems very practical and maybe this is me getting older but I think that the Ford would be a nice additions to our family. What would you buy if you could buy anything?

    They are nice. We have a Mazda Tribute which is basically the same vehicle.

    I really want a Range Rover.

    Well, I have couple of cars that I really dream buying them. I dream buying an off road car, a Land Rover I think would be best, a sports car, an Aston Martin DBS, and a really tiny car, I think I would choose Abarth 500c (The fancy version of Fiat 500).

    I like your thinking with the Supra. I would do the same thing with a Dodge Stealth.

    I would get a Mercedes W140 S600 and make a super luxurious sleeper out of it.

    I've always loved the W140. To me, it's the best looking out of all the S Class generations. It has that 'mafia' look to it, the kind of look that Mercedes was known for back in the day (I remember reading somewhere that some Eastern European mafia members still use the W140 to this day).

    Modding it would only make it better. It's already a pretty powerful car when it comes out of the factory, imagine what a couple of mods can do to it!

    I think your money is best going into improving a low end car into a high end car, instead of just buying a high end car because then you get the thrill from your own car and if anybody asks you get the credit because you put time and effort into building the car.

    Yeah I can see the appeal in getting a slow minivan or something and building it up to do 9 seconds at the quarter mile. :p I also love working on cars, it's probably my favourite past time.

    But I guess you can also buy a supercar and work on that. Imagine buying a Koenigsegg CCR (which does 9 seconds at the quarter mile right out of the factory) and adding some mods to it. Wow!

    The only problem is if you buy like a Ferrari and want to put mods on it then it would cost you an arm and a leg that's the good thing about low end cars the performance parts are so much cheaper.

    I would just buy a car that has plenty of space, for at least 8 people :) I would love to be able to go on a holiday somewhere with my family or a group of friends. Just take the car and drive a day or longer to another country. With the cars we had so far, that just ain't possible. It's also nice if you have to carry something somewhere, that you can put down the seats and take advantage of the space.

    That's a very good idea i would just prefer to take all of my friends somewhere and just go on a cheap driving holiday and just keep driving and see where we end up.

    If I could buy the car of my dreams, it would be a classic car just because this one is the first I ever seen attending with my parents a Renault Expo when I was a very, very young girl.

    The car is a variant of the Renault Dauphine known as "Gordini."

    This car was manufactured between 1957 and 1967, what probably means it will be rather hard to get one is good conditions and even hardest deal with parts that eventually may need, but I would still love to have one

    Definitely the one in my avatar. It is the car from the tv show Supernatural. I love those style Impalas and Gtos and also the Chargers from around that era. Beautiful American Muscle baby!

    Any BMW model. Or a Lamborghini Murcielago, I really liked the car when I first saw it while I was playing Need For Speed Most Wanted. :thumbsup:

    I would get either a Subaru STI and just dump tons of money into it, or a GTR. Although I probably wouldn't be able to resist the urge to modify that either.
