I'm sure it has been discussed before but here I go with another one. I'll break my list into two categories.
Classic cars I'd like to own. BMW 2002, Datsun 240z, E30 M3!, TR6, 914, 911 ...
Modern cars I'd like to own. Cayman, 370z, FR-S, S5.
I left a few out but I didn't want to type all day. I also tried to stick to cars I might be able to afford one day. _________________ 81 924 N/A

You have expensive taste. Out of the Ferraris I hear the 308 is the easiest to own as far as maintenance goes. _________________ 81 924 N/A

Kinda have a hankerin' for a 288 GTO myself. Of course, even if one did win the lottery, good luck finding anyone who'd sell... _________________ '80 924 Turbo |

A cayman S set up for the track
a nice 997 targa
and a completly stock 240z
I would consider trading my 944 cab for a blue 968 cab, but then I doubt I could ever part with any of my cars, been through to much with them _________________ Over the top of skyline, total brake failure.... hit the wall at over 200 kp/h at the dipper, so anyone who has to brake for the esses is a pussy.

I always promised myself that if I won the lottery I would buy an iconic car from each country. Ain't never gonna happen but here's some of my list anyhow...
Lancia Fulvia
Metro 6r4
Ford Gran Torino (yes a red one with the white slash)
Toyota 2000gt
Citroen DS
Porsche 550 Spyder (sorry but what else for Germany)
And the contemporary car I'd most like to be driving every day: Subaru BRZ _________________ 1981 931 series2 Euro spec |

Out of non-Porsche cars I would like to own: Honda NSX, RWD mid engined Typ 85 Audi Quattro (my friend has one with 2.2 20V 600hp turbo engine), Nissan 300ZX Z31 2seater.
Perhaps some more, as a daily driver I have A8 4.2 Quattro but I'm thinking of buying either S8 with manual gearbox (one dealer is selling one atm, very nice) or VW Phaeton. _________________ '83 924 2.6 16v Turbo, 470hp

Lancia Stratos. Just read a short history of this car. Quite a beast from what i understand, but man, what a cool looking car it is!
+1 to the Pantera and the Toyota 2000GT! _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made |

I do admit I rather wish I had a toterhome...
Other than that... probably a Z07... _________________ Vaughan Scott

Driver's license requirments for that are stupid crazy and you have to stop at truck weigh stations in various states. Look at a dually diesel pickup and a 44-48 foot gooseneck w/living quarters.  _________________ 1979 924 NA race car H-Prod SCCA

I have slightly more realistic preferences
Volvo 850 T5R wagon
Nsu RO80 or Maserati 422/424 converted to electric
Bmw 3.0 Csi
Toyota Land Cruiser Fj 40
and some bikes
Of course i wouldn't mind a ride in some exotic classic and modern cars. _________________ '86 944 Club Sport replica
