What I'd love to have


...Perchance to dream

Howzabout You?

[mhr]

1. Two Words - Peak Oil - Don't Waste Your Time!

eom

[qnr]

13. True, but it's about what we'd like to have

Not what we really plan on getting, at least in my case. I don't even want to think about what a Montreal would cost these day, not even considering gas. But this:



was the first car I ever owned that made me go wow


Edit: Sorry, just wanted to see another picture of it heheheh

[freetobegay]

2. I drive an Oldsmobile 98

My hubby is buying me a Jaguar for christmas, he just doesn't know it yet.

[PartyPooper]

3. I really want a Hummer.

But, it wouldn't fit into my garage.

:D

[barb162]

66. besides gas guzzler deluxe

[Lautremont]

4. I have a Festiva, but it's not small or gutless enough.

So I want one of those smart cars.

I may sound sarcastic, but I really do want a smart car. Man, do I ever!

[pagerbear]

45. Love SmartCars!

[Taverner]

5. If gas were all over the place

BMW 520

[qnr]

6. Hmmm, well, I want an older car

The car I'm driving now:

+-----------------------+
|        This           |
|        area           |
|    intentionally      |
|        left           |
|       blank           |
|       since           |
|       I have          |
|      no "car"         |
+-----------------------+

The car I'd like:

(it's an Alfa Romeo Montreal ... I owned a brown one like that when I lived in Italy.)

[the Princess]

7. Right now I am driving the Crapmobile.........

What I want.............



PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

[serryjw]

11. I have NO CAR!

I want.......






BUT it has to have the big fat white stripes down the hood and white top....of course BRG

BUT considering PEAK OIL.....I probably will buy this!

[CAcyclist]

53. I want that bike!

I didn't have a car for 3 years and only recently had to buy one. I hate cars. That bike would be a great addition to my collection.

[HEyHEY]

12. I like those too

[HEyHEY]

8. well -

have


Want

[LibLover]

9. I already have my dream car!

Mine's not that color, but it's been lifted. It's funny to watch my 5'2 tiny frame climb into a big tall Jeep! I love to play in the mud!

[HEyHEY]

10. Nice proportions

I used to be into off roading like nothing else. But then I started college and that took care of that (stupid expensive hobbies)

I was rebuilding a 48 CJ2-A at one time but never could finish

[LibLover]

14. Thanks!

It's got a five and a half inch lift kit plus 35 inch tires. I didn't want to do it but I got tired of getting stuck in mud my friends could drive through with their trucks. Taller tires were the only solution.

Mine has the half doors, too.

[miss_kitty]

15. I am in love with my 5 speed 92 civic EX 4 door

I don't want anything different. It just went 250 miles on 7.75 gallons. woohoo!

[LSdemocrat]

16. I have: 1997 Honda Accord; I want: A hybrid; If only it were a hybrid:

I imagine it gets about 2 gallons to the mile, but still! :D

I'll probably have to settle for my second-choice dream car, though:

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. That's what MrG did....

She needs a little work, she's a '93, but she's really pretty! :hi:
Ours is black.

[Pert_UK]

28. Weirdo....there are much better Mercs (or other cars) than that...

I like the one you're driving now - swap you for my 1.3 L Toyota Starlet?

:-)

Or an Aston Martin DB9.....

[XNASA]

29. I'd like to go mid-engine, if I could.

30. My choices

Have:




Want:

[miss_kitty]

32. Some guy in my neighbourhood has a Morgan

I think it's LHD, though.

[Cat Atomic]

31. Ok.

Here's what I drive:


And here's the only thing that could make me interested in vehicles:

[Zuni]

33. The Car I have---2000 Nissan Altima with 54,000 miles on it

Car I want---some sort of heavily armored camouflaged battlewagon, equipped with computerized controls, Browning 50 cal machine guns, a rocket launching system, CD changer with nothing but Black Sabbath and AC/DC, pneumatic tires and a drink holder big enough for a Super Sized drink.

[huskerlaw]

34. Have a Nissan...want a different Nissan

Have:


Want:

[TX-RAT]

36. I drive an 03 GMC-Z71 can't even think about a new one.

wife recently bought a 04 Pontiac GTO, it's fast.

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. I have a 2003 white mustang convertible, the low-end version

what I'd like is a 2003 BLACK or RED mustang convertible, the high-end version.

Though I don't think I'd take it - what do I really need the extra power for? I don't. And the mileage is less.

So I'd really like a black or red mustang.

I'd also like a 1967 +/1 a year or two mustang convertible. Nice damn cars!

I love mustangs.

Oh, i'd also like a high-end mercedes sedan and a lamborghini and one of those 1920s cars with the really long noses and the cloth tops and the spindly wheels...can't think of the names of any of them, but whenever I see one, I get excited. Rolls Royce, I'm quite positive, made them.

[jdots]

38. i have a gmc sierra del putzo pick up

want a 66 rambler 660 4 door in oxidized blue straight six with belly button lint interior best car ever made,would run on hair tonic and got 25 m.p.g. i

[flamingyouth]

39. I have a 2000 Volvo S70

Someday I'd really like an S80. But for now, I adore my car and am very happy with it.

[JCMach1]

40. Just bought my Peuegeot 307 SW

Awesome cars with awesome gas mileage...

[CO Liberal]

49. We Can't Get Peugeots Here In The US

One of my all-time favorite cars was my '61 Peugeot 404 sedan - the second car I ever owned. Paid $50 for it because the trans was shot - my dad and I fixed it up, and I drove it for almost two years before the clutch blew up in the middle of Chatham, NJ.

[JCMach1]

59. my family size car gets about 40mpg

and is very fun to drive...

[arwalden]

41. Now: 97 Concorde... Want: Jeep Grand Cherokee or Tahoe or

something that rides well AND pulls an RV.

[pagerbear]

50. You don't seem like a Concorde kind of guy, Allen

I don't think I know you any more!

[arwalden]

58. Do I Seem Like A Jeep Cherokee Or Tahoe Kind Of Guy?

[pagerbear]

64. Sure. I can see that.

What sort of guy do I seem like?

[arwalden]

65. Crown Victoria?

[pagerbear]

68. Thwapppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are so gonna get it, mister!

[arwalden]

69. Well... What's The Correct Answer?

[pagerbear]

73. It changes daily

Here's what I have:



Here are some cars I like:


(Like the guy in this pic too!)

[arwalden]

74. Nice Tastes... I Say Buy Them All

Or at least two of them. (Or find some rich daddy who'll buy them for you.)

-- Allen

[pagerbear]

75. I'm almost old enough to be a daddy myself!

Hmmmmm.....succulent young men wanting favors from me.........

[Blue_Tires]

42. car i drive:

01 Chevy Cavalier

car i want:

2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (7.0 L V-8, 500+ HP, SMG, AND a weight of less than 3100 lbs!!!) Not to mention the fact that it's made in the USA! (Bowling Green, KY)

[mac56]

43. Too embarrassed to tell you the piece of crap I'm driving now.

the car I want:



"Now, mister, the day my numbers comes in
I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again."

[gpandas]

44. embarrassed because...

you think people will judge you by your car? mad. ave. execs love you.

[mac56]

46. Should have made it clear: the T-Bird is the dream, not the reality.

Do I think people judge me by my car?! Dude, I live in Georgia. Everybody judges everybody by what they drive.

Fair? No.

True? Damn skippy.

[gpandas]

54. guess georgians are as vacuous as stereotypes.

[mac56]

57. Not enlightened like Ohioans, I guess.

nm

[gpandas]

78. unfortunately, ignorance has no geographic limit n/t

[CAcyclist]

51. Honda civic sedan

An fully electric vehicle with no moving parts to replace( with an environmentally friendly battery ) that can haul a trailer and carry a 4x8 piece of plywood.

[Thegonagle]

52. The Car I have:

I have an '01 Protege ES. Bought it used 1 year ago, I should have it paid early next year. (Take that, Mr. Banker--you thought you had me for 5 years!)

The car I want: Something fairly inexpensive (pragmatically speaking, a car is a car is a car), with similarly awesome handling and braking to what I have now (yes, a car is a car, but it's not as if I don't know how to really drive), with geeky tech appeal and great mileage, like a Prius. So next time, I'll probably be looking for a 2nd generation Prius and doing some tire and suspension upgrades.

[midnight armadillo]

55. That's easy!

Car now:

'98 Subaru Legacy L, auto, in green


Dream car:
1990 Saab 900 SPG 5-speed, not unlike this one:


Yes, I have cheap tastes :-)

[qnr]

56. Yeah, that Saab was my second choice, after the Montreal n/t

[Zero Gravitas]

60. mmmm.... cars

have



want:



:)

[VOX]

61. 2004 Volvo XC 70 (after driving an '87 Volvo 240DL for nearly 17 years)

I'm hoping that the Volvo wagon will last as long - I take very good care of my wheels, so its chances are good.

Unfortunately, at 6'5", I can't fit comfortably into any of the current hybrids. And for sure, I don't fit into any smaller cars.

But I refuse to drive an SUV -- the XC 70 puts you up off the road like an SUV, and its got 4WD, but it's not a guzzler or a parking-space hog by a long shot.

It also scores a 9 out of 10 (10 being best) in the EPA's Air Pollution Score in my state.

On edit: The XC 70 is is the car that I would drive no matter what -- even if I hit the lottery or became the heir of a long-lost wealthy aunt!

[Lady Effingbroke]

62. Right now, I drive a 93 Toyota truck,

but I'd rather have a good, comfortable pair of shoes and live in a city where all the necessities of daily life are within walking distance of home. Now THAT's perchance to dream!!!

Cars (all of them, no matter how economical) are such a money pit.

[flvegan]

63. 2002 Mazda PR5

It's one of them there sportwagons. I can haul my dogs, my mountainbike and a little bit of ass and still get over 25 mpg in stop 'n go.

[tjdee]

67. Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.....and the Jaguar SUV....

If gas were like water, I'd buy the Mercedes Benz ML 500.
And I'm already saving my money for the Jaguar SUV coming out in 2009. I've been lamenting the absence of one for as long as I had dream cars, LOL.

Ah, my Mercedes. But in like, dark red or black.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

71. Okay..............................

Have:

(except mine's green)

Want:

-Eh... She may need a little paint.

[Patiod]

72. I thought I hated SUVs until I drove a little "Escape"

while on vacation in AZ, my SO upgraded us (against my cheap-ass will) from a compact to a Ford Escape - a jeep-sized SUV.

Well worth it for the 1200 miles we drove. And 23-28 mpg highway. Not great, but not bad.

Don't really need something that big/tough for city/suburb driving, but it was nice for driving around looking at abandoned mines in Tombstone, or taking Schnably road into Sedona.

[BiggJawn]

76. Here's mine...

What I got:


What I want:



But it's hard to carry a yard of mulch or 4 bicycles in an Isetta...

[Ripley]

77. Do some serious research before you waste your money.

I leased an SLK 320 for awhile. Piece of shit transmission fell out while I was driving 20mph in a parking lot. They had to fly a specialist from California in to work on it (I'm in the south), took forever to get it fixed. If this was my car, not a lease car, it would have cost me thousands of dollars.

Mercedes is junk. Unreliable in every JD Power report you'll read. If you want to spend all of your money for a cool looking car sitting in a shop while you drive an Enterprise Tauras...be my guest.

(It was fabulously fast and fun, but I'll never buy an MB.)

[LeftyMom]

79. I have a Saturn wagon

It's boring and reliable.

I want a hybrid Toyota Sienna (not yet availible.)

[sangh0]

80. The car I want (wind-powered car anyone?) isn't being manufactured

so I have none

[Rochambeau]

84. Ok then, my turn.....

What I have : Same color and version you see on the pic :"Renault Clio 1" 1994. Small, ultra reliable, cheap to buy, cheap to use, not "chic" at all ! lol



What I want : I'm reasonable it is not a super car but a nice little coupé. Not cheap but not utopist.
The new "Peugeot 407 Coupé"

[MrScorpio]

85. I drove a car like this when I was in Germany

Sold me on the Benzo's ever since

[Radical Activist]

86. I drive a Saturn SC2 and I want a Saturn SC2

Life is happier if you decide to want what you already have. It's nothing very fancy but I love my car. If Saturn comes out with a hybrid soon I would like to buy a used one.
