What is your dream car?

[Merle]

Wave a magic wand and it is yours, what would it be?

This would be mine, love the vintage sports cars. The late fifties, early sixties Corvettes are tops in my book. Gotta be a convertible! This one is a '58.

I just remembered I'd take a Dino without even a second thought. /sigh...
[edit]
I'd thought I'd posted to this before. My current car, the Cadi 2005 CTS-V, not the 2002 Buick Park Avenue, comes pretty close. At this point, I'd hope someone would pair up a synchromesh to add paddle shifting and save my sorry knees.

Even Enzo agreed.

 

[garyg]

Enzo probably wouldna misspelled XKE,

I remember the Service Manager at the FIAT dealer pointing to one of those *used* and offering it to me in 1978 as a recommendation against the x1/9 I was buying new. /sigh I was 18 and clueless...
I hear Jag is going to bring the body style back with an electric system vice internal combustion. Of course, very pricey.

Growing up our neighbour had an XKE, I think, but hardtop. Lima bean green. To this day the colour seems just wrong.

Was it British Racing Green that had faded?

 

[Alacrity59]

No. It was brand new. Might have been this colour.

 

[The Knize]

Sadly that lima bean green and a very boring and nondescript yellow are classic XKE colors!

My mum is visiting to see her new grandchild, and brought a bunch of family photos to show my wife. There were a few more pics of their old car in there. I want that car...

Something like this...

As a New Yorker, I can only envy you the MRT.

It's funny here, people are so used to it being hyper-efficient, if there is the slightest delay or hitch, the locals go into meltdown!

If I went 50s Mopar, it would have to be a 58 Plymouth Fury.

I'm all about this because my body is starting to balk with the clutch and lower leg motions, my back is having difficulty anchoring the positions it's easy to be in when you drive every day for 2 to 3 hours commuting, but loose conditioning for when you drive 3 to 4 times a month. And those trips, mostly 4 mile round trips to the local grocery
don't help to condition for a 95-mile drive once a month. I'm all for getting a self driver now... But, the investment for the new deal is still 45k or more to have all the self driving options active. When that's 1/5th of the reserve (before capitalization of the residence) to see myself into the future... it 's a very very difficult reach. I hope for the days of tomorrow and imagine one of my neighbors will do what I intended: buy the tesla home solar system and storage batteries along with the car. Then, when people can book transport orders by the internet, the car could deploy, accommodate the work order and return home park, and charge, all by itself while the owner sleeps or does the dishes. It's coming, sooner than I'd have imagined since I lost sync with the working/commuting world. But maybe not soon enough for me and my little rides to the grocer and doctors' offices.

We'll see. (and that's an amazing ponderable all in-itself!)
