What's your current car/vehicle? And what's your fantasy car/vehicle?

RE: What's your current car/vehicle? And what's your fantasy car/vehicle?
I never got a license. Problems with anxiety and reflex (the latter even with hand controls). I did train for a while out of Sharp Rehab here in San Diego. I used an '85 Olds Cutlass, with hand controls. Looked pretty much like this (color, too, I think):


I am a bit of a car buff, but I get more excited by practical and historic cars than todays sports cars. To that end, I'd love a VW Golf...



...or, well...a VW Golf...



...or a Saab 99



If I needed cargo room, then a mid-80's Chevy van would be a lot of fun to have. Preferably white. I saw a mint condition white one in Silver Spring, MD once, parked at a bakery, IIRC. Unassuming, but very cool....like this.

Damn man, you have a nice taste in dream cars. An R8 and a Mclaren.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

I drive a car better than all of yours,

2007, Toyota Camry XLE, silver

okay, hey hey, so it isn't better than yours but it is to me, because it is mine, and I was homeless once so I have so little that what I do have I take value in Big Grin

My fantasy car

*looks over shoulder to monk*

*Monk nods in approval*

Okay my is a 2015 Lamborghini Perdigón (Concept)

Yeah, that's why they're the preferred van of kidnappers and serial killers.

Tony Micelli always did have a certain air about him. :S

I can see it.

For those who can't, I currently have a red Honda Firestorm.

In the rest of the world, rallying is an elite, expensive motorsport. But here in the USA, it is somewhat grassroots. If I had the aforementioned older VW Golf, I'd love to modify it to go rallying, as in this short clip from Washington State: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItBTgUr6jPo

Wife has a Prius (really - you need a picture?) in black so it doesn't look too bad.

I have a Hyundai Accent 1.3 Automatic from 2004:

Its been brilliant till now but it just failed its MOT for a variety of things including rear brakes, front shocks, bearings, front head lights and something else I can't quite understand (report is in Greek).

Anyway its booked to go in next week for repair and its going to cost. Worse - the cam belt is falling due for change too.

So that's my current car.

My fantasy car is basically the same car without all these goddammed fucking problems!!
