    For a long time my favorite car was the 1973 Monte Carlo with a Landau top. Well as the fates would have it an untimely death in my family made that dream come true from the proceeds I received from the will. I was able to buy a 1973 Monte Carlo off the show room floor with only six miles on the odometer. I particularly liked the design and style. I drove that car so much that I flipped the odometer over to 000000. When I finally traded it in the odometer was about to flip again. That was the best car next to my VW thirteen window van I ever owned. To this day I still miss it.

    A Factory Five MK4 Roadster would have to be near the top of my list. I would want this car because I love the Shelby 427 Cobra. That is a dream car of mine. With the MK4 Roadster I could basically have my dream car but also build it myself. I get that iconic look and sound if I want, but I can make things my own. I can go with a small block or a big block. I would put heated seats in it as well as a heater to extend the driving season around here. It could be a mild but fast 300 hp roadster or a 600 hp monster. I can put high end breaks on it that were not around in the 60's. I can make the car fuel injected if I feel I want to go that route. I can do what I want because I would be the one building it. And I could enjoy driving it because it wouldn't have a value as high as the original.

    That would be a dream for me. And if my kids help me with it then it would even more special.

    My dream car is a DeLorean DMC 12. Being the huge Back to the Future fan that I am, I've always idolized this car. It'd be hard to find one now-a-days for a purchasable price.

    My dream car is rather simple, a '69 Camaro SS with the 350 engine and turbo transmission and grille that hides the headlights. I prefer raw power over looks on a car and would tune the engine but keep the rest of the car clean looking and mean. I'm addicted to the sound these cars made just as much as the feel behind the wheel.

    My dream car would be the car from knightrider with the voice and everything installed. I loved that show and it would be so cool to actually own a car just like that.

    Any hi-tech looking car, like the Lotus Elise or any Lamborghini model would be nice. I'm pretty shallow when choosing my dream cars, they just really have to look nice. :roflmao:

    Is the original knight rider car still around? I think they had a few of them didn't they? Some were outfitted with the body effects, others had the interior gizmos and others didn't even have a passenger door because it was ripped out to add a camera mount. Still, have any of them survived?

    I wonder if you could just do your own custom mod on an old '82 Trans Am. Kinda like what a lot of people do with their Back To The Future mods on new-ish Delorians.

    My dream was and will still be the dodge viper. I don't know if they still make them anymore, though. I do like the more recent ones with new look of their headlights.

    Corvette Z06 for me please.
    I want a car that challenges me to become a better driver but can also let me have fun as well.
    Second on the list would be a Nissan GTR. I'd rather have the vette because the GTR is too serious for me.

    I have so many, currently it's the McLaren P1. It looks like it drives like a dream and looks awesome, now all I need is a couple million dollars to get one.

    For some reason I'm in love with the 2008 Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI. Can't wait until I gather up enough money to buy it. Not sure if that can be considered a dream though. I think it is, a reachable dream, but still a dream. :D

    Mine would be a 1957 little bird (Thunderbird) convertible. I love classic cars and especially Tbirds and 57 is my birth year and a very good year for the Tbird!
