OT: What car would you like to own? Not dream car, actual purchase

There are a number of 08 models that I am drooling over. Nissan bringing Skyline to the states, and the new M3 looks absolutely wicked..........................


Presented publicly for the first time in the flesh at Geneva is the sports car that enthusiasts have been anticipating for months -- the new M3.
Although officially called a concept, we expect that we'll see an almost identical production M3 at the Frankfurt Auto Show this September.
The M3 Concept proudly wears a bulge in its hood to help contain its V-8 engine, which will be the first ever in a production 3-series. With more than 400 horsepower, the M3 will be a seriously quick car, especially since BMW has gone to great lengths to keep weight down. The M3 Concept sports a carbon-fiber roof to save a few pounds, and shares only a few body panels with the regular 3-series coupe upon which it's based.
Enjoy the photos, because the M3 concept won't be making it to the New York Auto Show next month. Of course, it will be sold in the U.S., but likely not until 2008

That M3 will be pretty pricey as well. The 335i is nice, almost as fast as current M3s, considerably cheaper. along with Lexus IS350, Infiniti G35.....what do you like?

I've always wanted a '63 split window Corvette..........or maybe a '67 with muscles. But, I have nowhere to keep it and/or I wouldn't want one that I would have to restore or fix, just too much work. So, I settle for 2, the mint '79 and the '04 Vettes that I now own. Both have only 12-13 original K on them.
Have been amazingly free from speeding tickets with them and I never talk on the cell when I drive !!

I love it, smoke.........classic white with blue interior. I have had it since '79, cassette player & all, and only take it out sparingly, as the mileage suggests.
Not alot of bells & whistles by today's standards, tho. Thanks for the comment.

Have you guys seen the Tesla electric car. It is one of the fastest cars in the world from 0 - 60 mph. And needs no gas.

Tesla Motors
 
Re: OT: What car would you like to own? Not dream car, actual purchase

Oh the Tesla, awesome car devilmann 100% torque 100% of the time. I see they opened a new plant in Albequerque, hopefully making these great cars more accessible to the public. They're about 90k new but you don't have to buy gasoline, get oil changes, replace filters/belts. the car looks great as well, wish I could afford that

The Tesla Roadster’s specs illustrate what it does (0 to 60 in about 4 seconds) — as well as what it doesn’t (zero emissions, zero motor oil). With one moving part in the motor, no clutch, and two gears. There is no motor oil to change; no filters, belts, or spark plugs to replace; no oxygen sensors to mistrust before an emissions test — in fact, no emissions test required ever. Other than inspection, the only service recommended for the first 100,000 miles is brake and tire service.

Re: OT: What car would you like to own? Not dream car, actual purchase

This thread kinda freaked me out.
I haven't been to this site in a long time. I decided to check the old EOG forum after getting soliciting e-mail from another start up forum.
When I saw this thread, I thought my user name had been assumed by someone else!
What a coincidence, Hello everybody!
