Default If you could have any car...

-Just thought this would be a fun thread-

If you could have any car that's not a mustang (that's reasonable - meaning no Lambo's or Bugattis) what car would you get?

MY choice would be the....

2002 BMW M3

You didn't say why.

1990's (not sure what year) Toyota Supra Twin Turbo Pearl White.
I've always liked them and they're really rare to me.

dude....the 90s supras are ******* awesome. Talk about a car with limitless potential.
However...you could easily say the same thing about an M3.
But on looks alone. Supra.

I think I like the 96, but I love Supra's and the new one isn't to bad. M3 are pretty nice, really fast as well, but if I remember correctly they only come in Automatic's.

I know you said reasonable, but this is basically the only other car i'd want over my favorite mustang.

If you don't know exactly what it is, stab yourself in the eye.



I actually got really close to buying one the other day. $173K, all original, mint, orig tires, 12K original miles. Turned out someone beat me to it.

R3d, you must be a wealthy man.

Anyway, I'd kick it with a z06


Only GM I'd consider owning.

I just like them. If I could afford one, I'd love to get an E92 M3 over that anyday but I can't so here ya go. My neighbor had one he was trying to sell for about a year for $15k with 50,000mi on it, and then because he knew I had loved that car he said I could buy it off of him for $5k but I didn't have the money at the time. Pshh...

BMW is far overrated. I have seen about 20 E46 M3s that are on their THIRD set of rod bearings... all in less than 80k miles... ultimate driving machine? nope.. ultimate spending machine is more like it.

With how many problems I've had with my current car, it seems like more of the same.

nope... not wealthy. But I know a deal when I see one. That would have required completely gutting my retirement and getting a 2nd on the house but damn... it's a BOSS 429 for christsakes... in grabber blue! Most incredible car ever made.

I don't like the STI hatch, they make me sick.

Scion TC isn't bad, I like them a lot, but they're kind of small.

That Toyota Supra is hot, but I'm not a fan of the color, but still looks good. I would take it.

Skyline GT-R, but I don't know what years. :/

The BMX M3 at one time was one of the worlds fastest cars, not exactly sure on what model and I don't think it was reduced (whatever it's called) from the U.S.A.

Edit: I just remember, it's the Lexus's that only come with Automatic's.

I've actually never once saw a Toyota Supra in Oregon in my whole life or any where. Until I went to California last Summer, the Asian was driving the car like a Granny and wsan't even doing the speed limit. I was like what a waste.
