It grows on plants. ;)

and i'd drive a kompressor.

Hmmm.... I would probably go for an Elise for fun, and a nice Aston Martin DB9 for going out and looking fancy. While still being fun :D

I'd have have 7 RX-8s! Each in a differnt color and loaded with every option in the book. That's one for each day of the week!

:D

Skyline, I wouldn't want anything too exotic, the farthest I would go would be the Elise. I think the Enzo's and that new Lambo are ugly. It would be fun to have an old Stingray though, or a 69 R/T Dodge Charger (preferably the one my grandfather owned) if it was still around.

i would get a huge garage and get

RX8
RX7
Volvo S60R
Jaguar XJR
BMW M3
BMW M3 CSL
Ford GT
Porsche GT2
Porsche Canyene Turbo
Porsche Carrera GT
and
2004 Ford Lighting SVT

:)

I would get a Gibbs Aquada!! You gotta check out this website to see why!!
http://www.aquada.co.uk/aquada/homepage.jsp?flash=true

A very heavily modded RX-8 - all under the skin.

Pagani Zonda, 959, Ferrari Dino, Subaru/Prodrive WRC Rally Car

3-rotor RX-7 with cisor doors, and twin turbo's.

Twin-turbo RX-8.

Supra-7 with cisor doors, and twin turbo's.

Bugatti Veyron $1,200,000.00 US Dollars.

Volvo C70 wait i have one...

Volvo S60R.
Nissan Skyline.
Cosmo 4-ROTOR... ssSSssHYTtttt... i would OWN THE ROAD.

The Mini Cooper is a blast to drive, it may end up replacing the Altima if they can resolve some of the reliability issues.

Ike

Porsche Carrera GT for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

A Shelby Cobra. A real one, not a kit. Ahhh, drool.

Or the new Ford GT. I saw one of them at the US Grand Prix. Pretty damn cool.

good idea

my list would be similar to shocka's list

Aston martin, BMW 600 series, 1956 Ford thunderbird

If money grew on trees I'd probably be living in the desert.:(

If money grew on trees it would be worthless. If I has unlimited funds I would drive a VW Phaeton and a Porsche 959. I guess my weekend fun car would be a Ferrari Modena.

No you wouldn't!

Not untill you have to deal with their service depts! Believe me you won't.

Their "stealership" service dept. forced me to get VW to repurchase my 2002 Passat W8. 14 times in the shop, 32 jobs and out of service 60 days in the 13 months I owned it! Most of it due to VW's intrinsic ineptitude!

:mad:

u miss the civic dont ya..

Rotary nut, Was it the dealerships fault or was the car just a lemon. I know that when it goes wrong for a vw it can go horribly wrong (but I guess as an FD owner I have a tolerance for that). I have heard really great things about the Phaeton and they are and I believe will remain rare, but I am sorry for your bad vdub experience. Neither me nor my friends who own vw's have never had a real problem with their products. Oh well, if my imaginary $80,000 v12 VW went apeshit on me, I would switch to an imaginary $100,000 sl600 amg benz.

YES

There were a few simple problems but they all usually required 4-7 trips to the service dept. to get them to get it right.

Oh man I dream of this everyday. I would drive a Black Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 VSPEC II. With the stock rays gold rims. :Cream:

this is the only thing to drive

1001 HP and over 900 ft lbs of TQ

A new Gallardo... I just love the look of that car.

McLaren Mercedes SLR, no other car. (then again i wouldn't go 10 feet in MTL in the winter. )

HI , you have great taste in cars , i am going for a run in a "Tommy KAIRA ", NISSAN GT R 25 1998 MODEL ,in the morning 221 kw BLACK , gold rims , fully specked .
Even if i feel in love i would still keep the rx8 .

Tommy Kaira work (Tommy is an famous aftermarket tuner in japan he speciallises in nissans and subarus , highly sought after.)

I have retained the number plates NS R.35 for the next nissan GTR 35 Hopefully arriving in 2007.( on my wish list)

Recently the leader of the project of this car it was fired by Vw top-management.
The car have a lot of stability problems
(2 were destroyed in test times in big accidents), michelin can't build a tyre good enough for the power of the engine.
No one of press people 'til today drove one.
At this time this car is a big, expensive LEMON

Thank you, exactly what I was about to post. The only thing really impressive about that car is the HP, the price, and what a joke it has turned out to be. I'll stick with my 959 thank you, quite possibly the greatest sportscar ever made.

Aston Martin baby
and probably other things, but for naming only one...
