To start, I've always dreamed about owning a Porsche 911 Turbo (90's), or the Dodge Charger from Duke's of Hazzard (preferably without the confederate flag).

Now that I'm older with a Tesla model 3, I itched the need for speed (0-60 in 3.7sec), but I long for something faster with gaming support.

Still want a Porsche 959.

Still want a Porsche 959.

You got 1.5 million lying around?

 

[Banjo64]

Wanted a Fast and Furious car, got a Mazda 3 at present.

 

[poppabk]

Well he said dream car.

 

[FunkMiller]

Oh yeah. I wanted that fat picnic table spoiler Porsche 911 when I was a kid. The 964 was fucking ridiculous and awesome.

But I actually own a BMW m140i shadow edition these days.

 

[BigDeadFreak]

Modern cars hold no interest for me at all. I fully support the need for 99% of cars to be electric in the near future but I hope there's still some petrol left for those of us that love real cars. If we lose out on ever seeing, hearing and driving cars such as those below it will be a sad day indeed.

I've owned 3 black Jeep Cherokees. Set your bar low and you'll always achieve your dreams.

 

[Blade2.0]

Wanted a Dodge Viper growing up. Now I just want something affordable. But a man can dream.

The cars that really stoked my imagination as a kid were the absolutely insane, waaay ahead of their time italian "wedge" concepts from half a century ago. You gotta remember these were from the late 1960s/early 70s!
I had these coffee table books of them and the designs blew me away. :

1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero

1970 Ferrari Modulo

1970 Vauxhall SRV

1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo

To me, they still feel like the future of some far flung alternate reality that isn't our timeline. Real "dream" cars, cars that are truly unattainable. I'll take any one of these over the cluttered looking exotic cars of today. Except
the De Tomaso P72, love the timeless, retro styling:

Not that I am a huge car guy, but as a kid in the 90s this is still the holy trinity of cars:

 

[ManaByte]

Always this.

 

[lem0n]

Three cars come to mind. They're still dream cars today, actually. Some things never change..

BMW M5 (E39)

Dodge Viper GTS, blue with white stripes.

TVR Cerbera (fun fact, I took this photo!)

This was pretty much me. Also the F355, Viper GTS, NSX, and 550 Maranello.

 

[jason10mm]

You guys thought small as kids. I wanted this stuff....

 

[20cent]

Living in Hong Kong, I had access to a lot of affordable (8-20k USD range) old "dream" cars of mine 10 ~ 15 years ago... But that place also seriously lacks cheap parking spaces and storage and sitting cars don't age well at all very quickly. And after the JDM hype revival, 90s japanese cars are all overpriced now anyway..

V12 E31 were cheap as dirt last I've checked

What I'd really want now is either one of these.... but practicality, constant traffic jams, no proper roads to enjoy driving and no cheap storage place.. nah

 

[Fools idol]

I bought both of mine

BMW E92 M3,
Ferrari 458 italia,

I love NA v8 engines. The sound, the high revs, the feel of the power delivery.

As I get older though I am leaning towards getting a 991.2 Turbo S. For £80-100k there is very few cars that can touch them for speed and practicality. My 3 year old can't go in the Ferrari and the M3 is just too loud for her, she gets upset the moment I get over 3k rpms.

My dream car by looks has always been Lamborghini Countach. Now that they introduced it as a reimagined model its the one I'd like to have. Though I dont know how much money I would need to have that I'd actually buy one :S. Maybe a billionare.

they completely sold out, limited run so easily in the millions.

As a kid I wanted a Batmobile. As an adult I just want something with good gas mileage and a cold AC.

 

[DGrayson]

I have/had most of my dream cars. At this point I dont have the same love for cars as I used to have. Mostly because I like doing a lot of work myself and I dont have a garage to actually work on the cars properly.

Cars I have now

- 1970 Chevelle SS 454
- Audi RS3

Cars I had before

- 1987 Mercedes 560 SEC
- 2001 Mercedes CL 500

I would love another big Mercedes Coupe but since they stopped making them the parts are only going to get more expensive and that 2001 CL was a bitch to maintain. If any small thing broke it was automatic 2K.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Cars today feel commercial I guess they’re better as far as safety goes. Yeah the Ford Mustang has huge expectations I think the 2023, 24, 2025 desperately need legacy, heritage points. The ev electric situation doesn’t need to be forced on a classic like the MUSTANG.

 

[fran.fernandez]

Wanted a Delorean lols.

Got a hybrid Honda vezel 2022.

 

[Raven117]

Here for the car pics. Feelin good about it

 

[SpiceRacz]

I just wanted to cruise the coastal highway in one of these with a whore by my side.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

In high school, I wanted this car as if it was the best thing on Earth. Goes to show you my knowledge of cars at the time. Looking at all your cars above, talk about low standards. lol

 

[Bartski]

my dream childhood car was a giant ass 80's garbage truck, at least according to my mom.

35 years later I have a Volvo S90, and a BMW Z4 I'm just about to sell and buy a Porsche 718.

1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo

From actual real cars that in theory can be bought Lancia Stratos and Ferrari Testarossa are my favourite.

I always thought the Maserati Boomerang was one of the best wedge cars.

This is what I want. A 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport that's falling apart with 200+k miles on it is what I have. I can live vicariously through you, right?

 

[eddie4]

now it's this, when I was younger it was just various sports cars.

 

[DragoonWalker]

I always thought the Maserati Boomerang was one of the best wedge cars.

Oh yeah I couldn't include them all but that's definitely one of the cool ones. You can see how the boxy, angular design language eventually made its way into a lot of cars from the 80s.

I discovered my love for cars & women after watching Crash from Blockbuster way back when. It was great until my dad yelled at the cashier about renting R movies to minors.

I'm sorry, why do you need to have gaming support whilst you're supposed to be driving?

waiting for your kid to finish soccer / your wife in the market / your friends house 'what's taking so long..' / at a supercharger. There are many reasons to pop up Netflix / Hulu / games when you're waiting in the car. I believe with Model S it supports wireless controllers as well, Steam support is coming out in the near future.

My #1 dream car probably would have been the Ferrari Testarossa. Had a picture of it on my wall growing up.

My father had a 69 Camaro SS with Z28 stripes and RS equipment, Indy Pacecar edition without the decal when he was younger. It got wrecked really bad.
--------
My car history: 4 Germans, 1 Japanese, 1 American

My parents got me a Guards Red on Tan 1988 Porsche 944 with 5 spd as my first car in 1998 when I was 15. My dad liked my cousin's 1983 944 that we rode in while in South Carolina so much that he found one that same trip and we brought it back to Oklahoma. That one caught on fire and was a complete loss because it only had liability insurance.
Then 1996 Grand Cherokee V6 that went to my brother when he started driving.
2001-2007 - White on Burgundy 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo 5 spd
2007-2012 - 2003 Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan
2012-present 2006 BMW 330ci ZHP with 6 spd
2021-present 2017 BMW X3 xDrive35i

Might eventually have something like a Porsche Cayman with an electric BMW SAV combo but I really enjoy my current 2 cars.

Your parents got you a PORSCHE at FIFTEEN??? Were they trying to kill you??

No wonder it had only liability, trying to insure a teen for a car like that must have been brutal.

I hated it when the 90s came along and all the cars started looking curvy and round. There were still plenty of good looking cars in that period (see below) but most of that was from Japan. Aside from the Dodge Viper and Lamborghini Diablo, the Italian and American cars from that period generally looked awful.

[Marc13]

Always loved the 3000GT VR4's. Wanted a 99 but ended up with a 97. Sold it a few years back. I miss it from time to time but it's just not practical anymore.
