The Pagani Zonda C12 has got to be one of them...

EDIT: Dammit! The IMG tags seem to have stopped working, the Zonda site must not like hotlinking :( Oh well...here's the link (http://www.paganizonda.com/).

But there are many other GREAT cars I love! :)

Since I don't like cars, and I know nothing about them, my
favorite car is just the one that will get me where I want to go,
cheaply. ie. My Honda Civic Hybrid. ;)

I WISH!! no.. it's not mine.. hehe.. but my cousin has one and let me drives it when i'm over... SWEET machine!!!!

Anyway, did you notice the side view mirrors on the top M3? hehehe.. i just noticed it..

an M7 would be sweet.. they're comin with an M6 in a couple of years though... watch for that. The 760i is already pretty powerful, though.

btw, i WILL own one before i die..

Model-T in the hizouse. I'd pimp the ride out, slap some 22" dubs on it, an infinity gold system and lower it 4". I'd be rolling.

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie in your world. I have been around this site watching and reading lots of useful and not so useful info. Overall I'd say there is a great bunch of people here. Nonetheless I guess I couldn't resist on signing up just to add my comment on my favorite car.

Here is what's on order slated for an April Delivery:D

2003 Ford F150 Harley Davidson edition... in BLACK (all black)... 20x7" chrome wheels, nice sized V8 (5.4L Supercharged, Intercooled Triton V8). Of course, I would want my own Harley being pulled behind it, when going to events too far to ride the Harley itself to (more then a half day ride).

After that, just about anything by Chip Foose... that man is a GOD (an insane God, but aren't those the best kind?)! Check it out at www.foosedesign.com

3rdpath, I saw the special about Foose, with his daddy and all, heh. ;)

I'd love to get a car made by him... Only problem I have (at this time) is no garage to keep it (when not driving it). I'm in the start of a business deal which MAY net me a hefty commission. As such, I would use a chunk of that to get a place (house), retail location for my store, and [of course] a second motorcycle. Heh... A custom build one, to go beside my Harley.

Of course, once the deal is done, I will have a grand opening celebration sale for my store. Probably something between 2 and 4 weeks, where everything will be discounted. People registered, and active, even if only 1 post (provided it's a valid post) will get additional discounts.

Right now, all of that is still uncertain. Once it's solid, I will make the annoucements.

Well, count me in as another M3 fanatic. Those things are just SEXY! I also love the Mercedes SL600 roadster that they made for a while, V12 power!!

I love big gas guzzling engines as well, though, and an old Charger with a hemi or an old Camaro will do nicely to fill that void.

And there's a guy floating around my neck of the woods that squeezed a big block V8 into an 86 Malibu. Big 4 barrel carb, and one sexy sounding exhaust, let me tell you. Under the hood in all motor, no space left what so ever. I just him today, actually, peeling out of a side road. That's what I call bad ass! I wouldn't mind something like that at all.

ahhh, the citroen sm masarati....i always thought the design was cool. heard they were quite problematic...heard that about every masarati powered car though...still, they just have such a suave european look.

alpha,

Actually, I really like the look of Bourget's bikes (http://www.bourgetbikeworks.com/)... Something about having the oil run through the frame appeals to me. Besides the fact that they are the ONLY makers (of motorcycles) that do that, it allows for a lower seat height. Lower seat=lower center of gravity=more stable ride. Of course, I may want more things done to customize the motorcycle. I saw one company makes a rear wheel that is hub-less :eek: THAT would be sweet looking... I'll try to dig up some images to show what I'm talking about.

Oh, and if the business deal goes through, the cost of both vehicles won't be an issue... heh

Volkswagen Phaeton - it looks worth $60k, right?

I also like the Mercedes-Benz Galendewagen(sp?), or whatever it was renamed.

Edit: I like the G55 AMG, not the G500.

It's good to see all the BMW enthusiasm here! As a life-long devotee of the brand I'm not entirely surprised that they're well represented here (BMW and Apple do hold a lot of commonalities. low market share, premium pricing, excellent performance/style and frankly, expensive potential repairs).

Chevrolet Corvette;

Althought i'd need to raise the roof about 3 inches (7cm) To accomidate my 6'6" (2m) height.

Also the Caddilac CTS and CTX are awesome.

However I'll probably get a Pontiac Vibe late this year to replace my POS Ford Taurus. (I know the Vibe and the Matrix are pretty much the same, but the Vibe looks better)

Also Maybe the GTO....

My favourite cars of all time are:

1974 Lotus Europa (big valve) and
1963 Jaguar XK-E 3.8

For everyday transportation, since I'm not a mechanic, I would choose a Volkswagen Corrado. The 4 cylinder with the supercharger was fine for 70,000+ miles and I'm sure the VR6 would be even better.

If I had to choose something today, it would be a Mazda RX-8. The sound of a rotary engine is incredible and the engines are uncompromisingly balanced.

I like the looks of this Merc concept. Have no idea what type of powertrain it has though.

The Porsche Carerra GT is awfully nice too.

I love the Smart car.

It's the anti-thesis of the SUV. :D

When I lived in Europe I saw them all over the city centers.

If only I could have brought one back. :D
