If You Could Own Any Car!....what Would It Be?

do railroad cars count?

 

No

 

for me what counts is a suspension system that can tolerate off the road abuse, and a maximum amount of cargo space that can still be parked in an ordinary parking spot without a special permit.
really anything that was legal on the road that would meet that top spec would be fine, although the better on minimizing energy consumption the better too.

i'm sorry bu no fancy go-fasts for me. i want something durable that i wouldn't have to be all the time fixing too. but really, i'd rather be able to ride a solar powered narrow gauge, then have to have a car at all.

yah its fun to drive. but not so much fun to think about people killing each other, in order to be able to, or having to screw up the countryside for there to be roads to drive on.
(not much fun to have to drive in city traffic either, which my wife wanted me to do when she was alive, which was why i got rid of the last car i had, along with replacing my d.l. with a state i.d. more then 20 years ago)

 

I'd own one of those big work trucks with those big fantastic wheels. Ford has some. That's what I'd have...a big dualy (front and back seat). Black

 

i still want a sherp

new dealer announced in the area....and they mentioned they will be offering some for rentals so maybe ill get to try one out

theyre only 100k american dollars

 

lol that isn't exactly what I had in mind but I'd take that one instead! :2thumbsup: <------------------- dang I miss that emoticon!

 

One of these would be handy in heavy traffic situations....

 

Tesla Unveils an Electric Rival to Semi Trucks

 

One of these tricked-out bad boys!




Nah just kidding. I wouldn't step within 10 feet of one of these poser vehicles.


I can't stand ricers. Thankfully, it's a dying fad. And all these glamorous show ponies that many people spent thousands of dollars on, have all ended up in the junk yard. It hit peak popularity more than a decade ago. It seemed to be a big thing amongst my peers in high school and college. It's incredible how much money these kids got their parents to spend on them and their Honda Civics.

 

if i could own any car, there's only one reason i would want to, and that would be to not have to live in a city.
an ev cargo van, if i could afford one, would be as close to purrfect, as a car for me.

i guess i've mentioned all that already though. one long enough i could streatch out full length to sleep in it
and haul full size lumber to build things with if i had the land to build them on.

(but it would still be a better world if i didn't have to own land nor a car to do so)

 

That's nothing, this one came with a make-up kit dispenser!


1956 Dodge La Femme


It also came with a built in purse, an umbrella with matching rain boots and jacket, and more. The girliest car ever

 

Nope import scene is alive and well and the Honda Civic remains one of the most popular cars in it. Even more so because all the people from 10 years ago have sold the car and the next young guy is getting a car with the work he wants done already taken care of. The style of that pic is not in fashion anymore though. The tail lights are from a different Japanese car from the factory and yes for a while everyone had cheap ebay knocks of those. And the front bumper would be known as "rice" among car people but I think you are using rice in the traditional derogatory way not the way we car people use it. Which is kind of how black people can use the n word we can say it you can't. Although not the same racial things lol.

We all have our interests, I had many fun times going slow in a Honda feeling like I was in a Ferrari with friends.

 

That's easy

Where? WHERE is my nuclear Ford?!?!?!?!?!?

 

You are right. Tuner culture is alive and well. The ricer stuff not so much. I have nothing against people who tune and mod their economy cars; if you know what you're doing, you can get them to go faster than stock Porsches. I just can't stand the cheap body kit and ugly aesthetics like spoiler wings that add more drag to the car and decreases performance.

One of my high school peers probably spent close to $20-30 grand of his parent's money modifying (ricing) his New Beetle that was given to him by his mom and dad. It was all spent on rims, several different paint jobs, body kits, a rear wing, black light interior, and sound systems. The only performance upgrade he did was the intake and exhaust. Nothing else. Some said it looked cool, but the fact it was a New Beetle made him look ridiculous.

Many years later, I saw that exact same beetle driving down the road by a young teenage girl. The body kit all cracked and banged up, and the headlight missing.
