Well the title says it all...
I'm a great car enthusiast, know pretty much everything there is to know about them, so naturally you have to have your dream car...
For me it's Nissan Skyline GTR R34!
Probably the worst thing about that car is it's rarety in Europe!
But just look at it! You've gotta love it!

Oh, one more thing... feel free to post pictures of your favourite cars...

Haha, I was talking about this with someone the other day. I definitely want to be able to get the Rolls Royce Silver Seraph at some point. My uncle made it his goal to have a Rolls Royce by the age of 30, and he ended up buying 2.

The only problem is that the Seraph is still around $60-80,000 for the 1999 model, and that's just slightly out of my price range for a car. Perhaps one day! Otherwise, I'm not really picky about cars. As long as it can get me to where I need to go, that's all I'm going to worry about.

Yesterday, my grandfather and I went to a vintage car show. It was wrongly named, as it was actually the evolution of certain cars (Ford, Jaguar, Mercedes etc.), but I didn't really care. Not a lot of people have the same interest in automobiles as I do. There are fanatics who'd go to one of these shows just to find an antique car they can buy to show off to their peers. There are people who just don't get what the fascination is about; only relying on cars to get from point A to B. Then there's the midway mark; the people who developed an interest after hearing people in their lives constantly talking about cars and wanted to show they had a bit of knowledge so they tuned into episodes of Top Gear. I am one of them.

My great-grandfather was a mechanic, and he often let my grandfather help him repair and examine cars, so at this car show he was able to identify a lot of cars just by looking at them, which was nice for my education. He really only went there to see one car though; the Ford Model Y. As we were searching for it, he told me it was made in 1936 and that he had learned to drive in it. Shortly after, we found it, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.

Here's a picture of one in relatively good condition:




The one we were looking at was painted jet black all over, and it was as if it was made yesterday despite being nearly eighty years old. So we examined it, and my grandfather started telling me that he went on a tour around Ireland on it when he graduated from secondary school. He went with a chap called Paddy and three other guys. Those three couldn't drive so the first two had to take turns. He told me that on your average Model Y, there was a very bad brake system. On his Model Y, there were no brakes, and therefore tailgating was absolutely out of the option. Instead, he'd have to hit the accelerator; wait for the car to slow down, and tap it again on busy urban roads. Lonely country roads were different though; he just kept going and stated that if another car had come, they'd all be dead.

Just thought it was a cool anecdote.
Posted this on another forum a couple of months ago. Since then the Model Y has become my favourite car, narrowly stealing the Mercedes CLK 500's throne.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

This is my favourite car, the 1985 Buick LeSabre~
Spoiler:

If I'm lucky, I'll find one at the used car place where I plan to get my first car. But I'm not usually lucky, so... xD

But ever since watching Vacation, I've wanted a station wagon. I'd really like any kind of station wagon (they are kind of rare, after all) but I especially love the 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon.

As you can see, my taste in cars is kind of dated. xD
if you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear

if you've something to hide, you shouldn't even be here

These cars are overused in NFS series... I hate it. I like them, but the fact they are over recognizable cars...

Anyway I forgot about how much I like Honda and Toyota.

OMG I was gonna say the same thing :O Except I have a picture of a much cleaner 1985 LeSabre:
Spoiler:

This one's actually the '85 Limited Collector's Edition, and the last year for a V-8 available in the sedan.

I'm partial to the pre-1990's Buick station wagons:
Spoiler:


And for something non-Buick, I always loved the style of the early 1980's Oldsmobile Ninety-Eights.
Spoiler:

I like my cars big, roomy, and comfortable, and don't really care about performance :P
