Over the years I’ve had many #1 dream cars and the one thing they had in common was they were all Ferraris.

The one I have come back to time and time again and have to thing my #1 dream car is the 1962 250 GTO.

I preemptively apologize for ruining your thread.
But Homer and I very often think alike.

i wouldn't mind having a nice Ferrari... but need to upgrade the house
first. :grin:

Can't beat this IMO.

200 mph capable, AWD, 2 turbos, monster brakes, sexy Porsche lines, what more could you want? I know I would have liked them to release it here, but when you give rich retards a car like that, your asking for trouble. Look what happens with cars like the STi, new Z06, don't forget that whole "Enzo races SLR" thing in the desert.

oh yea, the 959- good choice! I think Bill Gates finally got his out of impound/DOT storage at LAX and into a museum. Never got legalized in the US but way ahead of it's time, typical Porsche.

Good choice on the GTO sndwave-another of my favs, I feel the GTO is little too single purpose race car to actually enjoy anywhere but a track but those are some beautiful lines!

That's easy - the McLaren F1... although some of the other exotics are tough to beat too. The Bugatti Veyron is insane, for example.

Of course, even if I had the means for either of these cars, I'd still keep my MINI as well. :)

Crashton Aug 9, 2007 01:29 PM

I've always loved those 250 GTO's, but then Homer designed a car for a real man & that really made me swoon. I'll most likely never be able to afford either so maybe I'll have to settle for this as my dream car.:grin:

& if I can't find one of those I'll take this one....

Agreed...there's lots of cars I greatly admire and even venerate, but in the end I don't know if I'd really want one in my garage. For practicality, heritage, handling, fun, safety....together w/ more amenities than I would ever care for...give me my MINI. After all...that's kinda why I bought it.

shadowjack Aug 9, 2007 06:58 PM

If we set aside a flying car, then I've been wanting a Mini since I was eight years old...

faster,Tobias! Aug 9, 2007 07:17 PM

Jaguar E-Type, any from 1961 thru 1970.

A late 50's Messerschmitt.

JoeyC Aug 10, 2007 05:34 AM

Not the fastest...but by far the sexiest car there is. I'd take a DB9 in any form, but would prefer a right hand drive ;)

I agree on the 427/sc. I'll most likely never have an original in my garage but someday I'll have one of the lookalikes if everything goes according to plan :-)

MiniStupidfun Aug 10, 2007 10:16 AM

ferrari f430, or late model mazda rx7

You know the latest Car and Driver has a story on the Cosmo...guess it's been 40 years of the Wankle and Mazda will be doing a special addition of the RX8 that's white w/a maroon interior.

I'm with you! I've ordered my dream car, but if I could get George Jetson's car (and dog!) I'd be one happy camper!:nod:
