What is the one car you HAVE to own before you die? Future lottery winners need not apply...

[Mosbius Designs]

Hell Yeah, I love the old targas. I just want a 2.7RS more

[fbobberts]

[onedubdub]

either an e36 or e46 m3

[Dan92SLC]

A 1995 Porsche 993 C4. Silver, blue, or white please.

[MCTB]

BJ74


MK1 Escort

[6cylVWguy]

I definitely don't have one car. There are a few that if I could own all of them and nothing else, I'd be pretty satisfied with my automotive ownership history.

Porsche: 911 of some sort or Cayman R
C6 z06
Viper GTS
Lotus Elise

[MatchStick]

if I have to pick one car I'd want that I'd want to pass down to my son (as my dad is passing his 66 Tiger down to me), a 964 911 C2 or a 2nd/3rd/4th gen Viper Coupe.

I also want to own and race a separate Tiger in vintage races, done up to the rule limit for 1965 SCCA season B/prod and beat up on Corvettes and Shelby Mustangs.

So it's really two. If I were presented with the 911 and Viper and they both cost exactly the same, I would probably go with the 911.

[mk2 16v turbo]

My thoughts exactly, perhaps in a different color however

[Dan92SLC]

...when Zachermk3 reads this thread he reads 'mk3 GTI VR6' whenever he sees '911'.

[MidnightSpecial]

Both of them.

[matches]

911.

[Viveka]

An air cooled beetle. Totally reachable goal! I've wanted one since I was 16. There was one for sale behind my high school for almost the entire 4 years I was there. It was way over priced. I have lusted after that car for 15 years. Sigh.

[Internal Combustion]

Corvette and or 911.

Icons.


Graduating medical school tomorrow, so feasible at some point.

[Chris_V]

I've been lucky to have most of the cheap cars I "need" to own, from air cooled Beetles to Porsche 911s. What's on my list now, in the "I will own one" category is another relatively cheap rare car, the jaguar XJ6C/XJ12C. I just love the classic Jagness of it...

[Qwan3356]

Nissan GT-R


Nissan Skyline(Right-hand drive)


I longggggg for either of these cars!!

[Qwan3356]

Corvette and or 911.

Congrat!
Those long hours/years are really going to pay off.

[01tj]

911

[FACTORYBOOST]

Hmm... Realistic car I WILL buy...

NSX would be the pinnacle, even an imported NSX-R

But I'm such a lover of automobiles I don't know if I'll ever keep my answer the same week to week...
So many different reasons to want so many different cars.

Supercharged S2000, Impreza WRX (almost any gen), R32T, Mustang GT, M3, S4, 350Z, 911 Turbo, V70R, S60R, MKI GTI Hardtop... the list goes on

[neu318]

[IgorRGTI]

Super hard to pick just one, but because racecar.

[Woodski]

Easy.


Preferably a V8 one, but I wouldn't say no to the turbo one either.

Hell, send me one without a motor and I'll drop something into it.

Or the next gen.

[MrRline]

Some sort of Porsche, I almost don't care which one...anything from a base Boxster to a 911 GT3 RS. It was supposed to be my current car (instead of my S4), it should be my next car (but might not be because my practical side might win out again), but I will own one before I die.

x2

[wh1te09gti]

some sort of ///M .:R S_ or AMG car
when i was kid wanted rally car so had an evox but that only partially satisfied my car dreams.

i have an R-line now but it's doesn't qualify.

[Obin Robinson]

I need to own a Mopar vehicle with a big engine, rwd, manual transmission, and enough torque to shred asphalt: Viper, Challenger SRT, or Ram.

obin

[mfumbesi]

Option 1. 911/Cayman R/S
Option 2. BMW 1M/M3(E90 flavour)
Must be Manual, no sunroof and as few as possible extras......heaven

[SAPJetta]

Porsche anything (Cayennes don't count)

However, I've really been jonesing for a Vette in recent years. May be a more realistic move to make.

[the brit]

Mk3 Ford Fiesta (again).

[FissionMailed]

More than a Bentley or a Ferrari or a Porsche or absolutely any other car in the world, I want a Cabriolet...but I'd put a VR6 in it. Even owning a (eventually, after much work put into it) minty G60 Corrado, a 2011 GTI, and almost buying a last-gen M5, my '89 Cabriolet (all stock, my first car) remains my favorite car I have ever driven or owned.

But if I never get to own that VR Cabby, you know, it'll be okay. I consider getting another Cabby every once in a while, but I know that no matter how awesome it is, it'll never be quite as wonderful as that awful 8-valve was.

(thanks for changing my life, cabby. i miss you.)

[Bakounine]

I have car ADD so my realistic dream car changes almost daily. Right now, it would be a Boxter S or Mk2 Lotus Elise

[salvaterra]

911. pick one.

yuuup!

[alfafan]

I don't know if I must have it, but it would be my own pinnacle. Not interested in Euro exotics at all.

That is freakin' awesome!!!

[brickfrenzy]

An Aston Martin coupe of some flavor.



I'd also say CTS-V Wagon but, well...
