Your Dream Car?

It changes about every week.

Right now I really, really fancy the Lamborghini Miura SV.
 
I wouldn't say I have a Dream Car. Lots of cars woulkd make me very very happy. I tend not to pine after cars I know I'd never own like the super exotics. So, let's see:

1) Matched set: Bright Red A4 Cabrio for my wife, Bright Blue S4 for me.

2) Evo VIII in the cool chalky bright blue color, and an Eclipse Spyder for my wife.

3) My old LeMans, with a frame off restoration, engine rebuild, and a T-350 trans instead of the PowerGlide.

Any of the above would fulfill my current automotive dreams. #1 would be my favorite, though.
 
Back to basics in all it's pureness; Porsche 550 Spyder

My dream car is a vintage Ferrari with a documented history. A 250 GTO would top that list, though I'd be quite happy in a 365 GTB/4 Daytona or 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso of any vintage.

But dream cars have very little to do with reality. A realistic everyday dream car I can drive to the grocery store and wouldn't be paranoid to park somewhere would probably be a new BMW M6 or Ferrari 550 Maranello.

How would you not be paranoid to park a Ferrari at the grocery store??? I am so paranoid over that fact with a 1990 Mustang that I walk across the parking lot with it parked in BFE. . . Walmart is a whole other story, the car gets parked in the next parking lot over. . .

Y'know, I'm not sure why. Probably has something to do with the fact that a 1963 250 GTO is a priceless peice of history that can never be replaced, but any 550 is just like all the other 5000 or so Maranellos built. If some moron in a Hummer rolls over a 550, you can replace it; you can't do that with an original GTO.

EDIT: incidently, I do see a particular 360 Modena at the Publix down the road from my house once in a while. A local attorney owns it. Yea, he parks it in B.F.E., but hey, he's willing to drive it to the store.

That is true. . . *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* *remembering Miata and Escalade*
 
I don't really have any crazy dream cars. The most expensive car I would ever consider buying would be a 911 Turbo.

Realistically, my dream car=BMW M3 (e46) - Great styling. Great Performance. It's a BMW....

Non-realistically=Nissan Silvia S15 - I just love the car. The styling, the engine...etc. It's not supercar or anything like that, but I love it anyway.

Currently my dream car would have to be a heavily modified Supra. Other very desirable cars for me would have to be a Skyline (R32, 33, or 34), G35 coupe (same as skyline), 550 Barchetta, Enzo, any Porsche (except Cayenne), and anything made or modded by Saleen.
 
^ an no evolution. . .

I would also say that I would want a Mitsu Mirage project car :D
Another Miati ( but I would need another friend to help out this time)
 
My dream car would have to be a 1993 Typhoon in white with black leather interior. Some better tires, some nicer rims, maybe a bag setup and some more engine work. Were talk one fast mini truck.
 
So many cars I love, it's difficult to make a choice. This is ONE of my all time favourites...
