Want:

200? Tesla Roadster. Electric prototype, does 0-60 in under 4 seconds, gets the equivalent of 130+ mpg.

One of my friends is considering getting one of those Tesla Roadsters. He keeps debating back and forth about it, but Ithink he's going to build a new house first, then get the car.

I drive a 2003 Ford Mustang dark red exterior, tan/khaki interior.
I want a 2008 Lincoln MKx black exterior, black interior.
I only roll with the best company ever, Ford Motor Company. LOL!!!

Present car: 2001 Mustang GT Convertible w/ 5 speed manual - this car is a blast to drive, but it's heavy. It's faster than the Acura RSX Type-S that I had before, but the Acura handled better than the Mustang.

Dream car: Something scary fast that's lightweight with razor-sharp handling. A Porsche Carrera GT ($440,000) would fit that description.

The San Diego Auto Show is this weekend. I'll keep you posted.

I'll just help Mama Meg raise the count of female participation here, so bear with me. :wink:

I own a 1967 Mustang (the 390ci/V8-version) and a 2005 Audi RS4. Also, my sig other Frank lets me drive his 1980-something Peugeot 505.

Want:

McLaren F1 - no explanation needed

Indeed, none needed. You'll let me take it around Laguna Seca for a few laps if I help you raise half of the million bucks you need to buy it?

Can we revive this thread? Love cars...

I have a few, but my favorite is my e39 201 BMW 5-Series

I'm used to cars nickel and diming me to death, but I have a 2014 Mercedes 350E that's $500 & $1000ing me! I bought it to drive clients around, and I think I may have had three potential customers in the car with me. I usually drove the company pickup truck until I totaled it a couple of years ago.

Now I tool around in my 1999 Jeep Wrangler. It's a great Florida car. But I am looking for something else a little more practical than a Jeep or a Benz. I won't do SUVs but I miss that pickup truck. Thing is hubby has a truck, and I don't want to be redundant. I haven't really started looking yet, but it won't be long.

You might be able to claim the Benz and its upkeep as a business expense if that's it's primary use. Check with your accountant.

How's your recovery from the crash going? Wounds and bones all knitted up and mostly back to normal?

Actually, I did use the car as a business expense and used the depreciation. But as of the middle of last month I retired, so that's out of the question! LOL! That's why I'm looking for something not quite as flashy. I bought it used with about 26,000 miles on it. It's been a great car. Kind of boring, but I like that.

I got a loaner while it was in the shop, and I had to run back into the dealership to say "How do you work this thing?" I had no idea how to start it or anything! Cars sure have changed!

I'm doing quite well since the accident. But I'm a great weather forecaster. Little catches here and there. The biggest hurdle was just driving again. I'm not ashamed to say that therapy helped me get back in the driver's seat.

I sure do miss that truck.

 

[Motion-of-the-Ocean]

Not going to give specifics on the current one, other than it's just a small Econobox of a uncommon make and a very uncommon color and it is the sixth car I've owned so far (most of which were also small basic no-frill models (had to roll all the windows down by hand), including a real beater).

As far as what I want...I'm still holding out hope of finding that cherry condition AMC Pacer (any year) on Ebay Motors, preferably in purple or cobalt blue. Don't judge me .
