People forget that the Prowler and the Viper were HAND BUILT!!!! THIS is what they SHOULD be saying instead of seeing it as a negative!!!

I dont know for anybody else, but when a GNΧ or a 1989 Turbo TA qualifies for a thread like this, I will ALWAYS choose them. I used to love a '55 300SL, but in the last 2-3 years, my love has disappeared for it. I appreciate very much where it stands in the history of the automobile and its contributions in the technology department but I just dont lust over it anymore. The Porsche 911 has taken its place for me. Same thing for a MkIV Toyota Supra. I absolutely love this car, but its come to the point where Id rather a 300ZX ΤΤ and a Dodge Stealth/Mitsu 3000 VR4. I guess with the Supra its because too many poseurs of the Fast and Furious crowd line up for it and the shytty 3rd generation Eclipse just because it was in the movie and not enough love is given to the Mitsubishi 3000. In fact the Mitsu 3000 is almost forgotten. Then there is the Playstation crowd that gives a tad too much love to the Lancer in that these people think the first performance Mitsu car is the Lanccer. They dont even know about the 3000...

That is sooooo cool!

If I was gonna be trading in my 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD today, this is what Id be buying in these categories 1. compact car (sedan/hatch/wagon) 2017 Cadillac ATS with either the 2.0T or the 3.6 V6. But realistically, I would NEVER consider this segment nor this car. Segment is too small for my tastes and the ATS is RWD and I wont be doing RWD in Quebec. Sure there is AWD but AWD defeats the purpose of buying a RWD biased car....I might as well just buy a FWD car....yes I own a AWD car....but I bought the Acura TL SH-AWD for the naturally aspirated 300 plus horse V6, not for the AWD. That 300 plus horse 3.7 liter V6 only came with the top dog SH-AWD trim level...plus the car is FWD anyway, I dont lose any sleep over having a heavy AWD system wreck that sweet RWD driving dynamics... 3. mid-size car Ford Fusion Sport Or Buick Regal (especially if a GS is available) 2018 Audi A6 that is not out yet and only if I could get one for $50 000-52 000 CDN and not a dime more 5. large car Buick Lacrosse No CUVs or SUVs for me as I would never ever own one....

Id say @Cubical-aka-Moltar is right on the money!!!

That seems to be voluminous indeed. I like the Cruze hatch. Right size for me? What is that definition? Its basically a car that fits my wife and 2 kids and myself comfortably with room to spare as I WANT to drive big cars. Medium sized muscle cars for my speed demon ways. Circa 1960s and 1970s perfect size for a family car and for my speed demon needs And if I needed to combine the two because of the need for one car either this or this or this Circa 2000s Perfect size for a family car for me with different levels of speed demon shenanigans and family car intentions that only require for me to buy only 1 car. The 2 door would require me to buy another car as it would be a tad difficult to haul stuff in and out of the back seat...in the 1970s, those trunks were huge therefore using the back seat in a 2 door was not really necessary.

I fixed it!!!

@dfelt I appreciate how you have passion for GMC and found 10 cars to fit in your garage!!! @ EVERYBODY I LOVE the ALL the choices you folk have made! This one was not easy! @A Horse With No Name Im still waiting for you buddy!

I feels your pain, but it becomes too easy to do corporate siblings.This way, ya'll thought about what it is that you actually like and need. Including myself. In fact, Im still switching from Pontiac to Chevy to Ford, back to Pontiac then Chevy then Ford. Id wanna do Dodge or Chrysler, but there is a problem that I run into with those two....from about the late 1970s to mid 1990s, MOPAR aint exactly high on my list....plus even today...other than a Hellcat and a 300C, not much enthusiasm. So I thinks Ill be doing Chevy since Pontiac is no longer with us. 1) 1957 Chevrolet 2 door or convertible, stock numbers matching Fuelie or restomodded pro-toured Hot Rod. 2) Ultra rare 1970 Camaro 396 SS or restomodded protoured 3) 1961 Impala SS 409 4) 1969 Yenko Chevelle 5) 1967 427 Impala SS 6) 1969 427 Vette or restomod 7) 2017 SS 8 ) 1959 Vette 9) 2017 Impala 10) 1970 Monte Carlo 454SS

EDIT on my post. I switched up the Supra for a Stealth.

1st 5 1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am Singer 911 made to look like a 930 Turbo...if it qualifies... If not....then the actual 1986 Porsche 930 Turbo will do. R33 Nissan Skyline GTR Cadillac CT6 3.0TT Cadillac CTS V-Sport 2nd 5 1987 Buick GNX unmolested Toyota Supra TT unmolested 1993 Nissan 300ZX ΤΤ 2018 Audi A6-not out yet

@A Horse With No Name gave me a challenge. Here it is! For July 4 Celebrations!!! Rules: 1. Pick a brand. Just 1 brand. A pure red blooded AMERICAN brand. Be it Ford or Chevrolet. Or Dodge. 10 cars any era, any concepts, anything from that brand. 2. No corporate sister brands are allowed. 3. These are your garage queen, museum grade show cars and/or Sunday drivers and/or daily drivers. 4. Have fun!

Okay.... I retreat. Monday I replace all Ford entries.

1. Titan T-51D with an LS3 V8 (I wanted a FW190 replica kit, but I could not find anybody that builds and sells to clients, only restoration companies restoring war survivor planes) This is surprisingly "affordable" at under $100 000 if optioned with a Honda Odyssey 3.5 liter V6 engine... 2. McDonnel Douglas 500E 3. Zamboni with a personal colour scheme and theme for my own personal indoor ice rink 4. Christy Hovercraft 5. Modern Monster Truck with 1500HP V8 engine Custom made to my tastes and my personal themes

Ive been searching and googling and all sorts of investigations for this one...for the last 24 hours or so!!! This one is tough! I wanted to do a fairly realistic list so that is why is taking a long time.... Example...I want an F-16 Falcon, but in a realistic way, I dont think the US government will ever sell me a F-16 no matter how many billions I tell them I will buy it...so in a fantasy world thread, I want to keep it realisti.. But I will come up with something. Maybe tonight... But not tomorrow nor Sunday as softball tournaments galore this week-end. Wish us luck!!!

yeah yeah yeah!!!

So....where do those 3 1960s entries I made stand? Ill be honest, I had a hard time convincing myself to include Ford cars because I too view independents like you do...when it comes to these threads, I always find a loop hole to circumvent the rules...this Ford thing aint no different. Tough one.... Like I said...I will agree to any points of view regarding independents and I will erase the 64 Galaxie, 67 Fairlane and 65 Mustang. The 33 Ford stays as its as independent as it gets....after Lincoln but before Mercury...and FoMoCo was not as big as it is today and many other manufacturers from all over the USA were still producing cars from Wisconsin to Indiana...not only in the Michigan area.

EDIT.... Lincoln was started by Leland...sold to Ford... Leland started Cadillac from defunct Ford cars before FoMoCo then sold it to GM... phoquing confusing if you ask me! Maybe that is why I forget sometimes the little details... But as I see things, Ford cars are independent, unless Frisky sees otherwise...and if he does, Ill redo my list and erase those Ford cars... Well, the 2 1960s entries. The 1933 Ford Hot Rod stays!!!

But....Lincoln and Mercury were brands that FoMoCo started...unlike General Motors buying Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Cadillac (from Henry Ford), Opel and the like... Ford cars....are independent...even in 2017...

1. Ferrari GT California 2. Ferrari GT Lusso 3. Aston Martin DB5 4. 1967 Ford Fairlane 427 5. 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL convertible 6. 1933 Ford 5 window coupe.... what the hell.... HOT RODDED! or 3 window 7. 1965 Ford Mustang GT350H 8. 1952 Hudson Hornet Twin H POWER!!! 9. Tesla Model S P100D 10. 1986 Porsche 930 Turbo

Usually I am not so anal about jokes. Im a pretty funny guy myself in and real life outside the internet forums, or even in internet forums, Im a cartoon character. But...this joke I don't find funny at al... Why you ask? Because of these little words when one marries in a more or less Christian based religion. for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part for better, for worse for richer, for poorer in sickness and in health till death do us part till death do us part till death do us part That should be your expiration date right there!!! Sorry that I sucked the life out of that joke. And no! I am not at the very least offended. I just thought about it for a while and said to myself...wow, that joked sucked ballz!!!

Yup.... If you have noticed, Im more or less consistent with the muscle car formula (disregarding price in this instance) in my preference for cars no matter what country builds them. Big engine in medium sized car or huge engine in small car or big and huge engine in big car. BTW...Aston Martins are just sooooo beautiful to look at! PS: small little roadsters are not for me....except the ones that come from Italy. I dont drink English tea in other words! Esss-presso Cappuccino...capisce???!!!!

1. 1965 Aston Martin DB5 2. 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato 3. 2014-2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S 4. 2016 Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT 5. 2017-2018 Aston Martin DB11 6. 1976 Jaguar XJ-C V12 7. 1992 Jaguar ΧJ 12 8. 2003 Jaguar XJ R Supercharged 9.

1. 1930 Cadillac Boattail V16 (since I already chose a Duesy in the other thread and Drew chose one here) Since seeing the Great Gatsby a several months ago, the Black and White version AND the DiCaprio one, Im REALLY into 1930s cars as of late...that is why I recently bought a 1935? Duesenberg 1:18 from Greenlight a couple of weeks ago... 2. 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible Biarritz (so far Drew, we very similar) 3. 1970 Lincoln Mark III 4. 1969 Cadillac Coupe Deville 5.

Unfortunately, I did not mean to post that in a positive way.
