A Ford Explorer that has included:

20 CD changer
Over 25 MPG in the city (30 highway would be great)
Those great window guards that keep the rain out if you open the window a crack
Unbreakable cigarette lighter
Self-cleaning brocade seat covers (teflon coated will do!)
Air condition and heat that works within 2 minutes of activation
Remote control defroster (autostart doesn't currently start defroster, you have to be in the car to push the button)
Electronic side mirror scrapers
Saveable seat configuration (so 2 different people can program the vehicle to "fit just right" every time!)
Internal vacuum system that runs off the alternator
One of those neato security systems that talks to anyone who gets too close to the truck.
Automatic flat fixer button built in to the dashboard. Ejects the offending object, patches the tire, and fills it to the exact air pressure without having to leave the vehicle!
Automatic headgasket sealer (Explorers are known for cracked headgaskets)
Self-oiling door hinges

And of course it has to come in money green.

BMW z-3 reg
I have two "dream" cars.

One is a newer Subaru WRX with almost the exact same description as Krongs, except I would add NOS, and no spoiler, and mine would be in blue or silver.

Oh and I wouldn't want 2 15's in the back.

My second car is nothing in terms of power, or amazing performance. I just want one. And someday I will have it. If gasoline doesn't dry up.


1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 KR.

I dont understand. Why an M3 when M5's exist? It is a dream car.

The WRX is pretty nice.. Have you seen the european version? Its nicer, more powerful. US regulations and such...

I also like eclipses, preludes, RX7s, MX6s and Eagle Talons are great to supre up..

Why not 2 15's? You hafta have a good system..

Simple. I'd rather drive a 2-door. Chicks don't dig sedans.

I prefer to NOT feel my heart vibrate itself loose in my chest. And besides... the two 12's that come standard with that setup should provide PLENTY of bump for my tastes.

KCar...

AM radio...

2 seats, preferably ones that don't shake and wobble as you drive.

Doors that lock.

And a roof with no holes in it.

Can't go wrong with that.

My dream car, would be:

A 98 chey S10, slammed to the ground, with 20" rims, bags with a compressor in the back, to raise and lower it, the seats taken outta the extended cab, replaced with a custom box holding 8 12" JL Audio sub woofers, all the factory speakers replaced with...better ones, 6 extre mid/highs speakers teo even out the mids and the highs with the base, 8 500 watt alpine amps, 1 pushing each sub, a 700 watt alpine amp pushing all the other speakers, a DVD player, red tinted windows, the trunk would be that "fast looking" yellow. The bed would be covered, and the cover would be metal, and be able to lock (cant get my amps gettin jacked)...im sure theres more i had thought up for it, but i cant remember right now.

Mini Cooper S

'lood
missing too many good parking spots lately... reg

Yeah the WRX here in the states is weak compared to the Euro version.

However they friggin put a chip in the US version to regulate speed. Can't take it above 120. I have a manual on how to remove that chip and put a new one in so that you can push the car. Whats the point of adding stuff to it if you can't go over 120 I say.

But anyway, I think all the new imports are nice, and that you can really do a lot to them, but I am more of a classics kind of guy and when I see alot of the "tricked" out cars today I think of my friends 18 year old brother who can do all that to his car and he just thinks it's "cool". However when I see a nice classic rolling down the street thats been taken care of it really gives a statement.

You people's taste in cars sucks. If I wanted to live realistically I'd get like one of those old 70's undercover cop car lookin' boats. In like beat up green or blue paint. Gettin' fancy, an old Impala, all tricked out. Be flippin' switches on the bitches. Maybe an old black Hearse. That would be cool. Also, a big ass old Continental. Those are cool cars. reg

Excellent.. I was about to say the same thing. Failing to get one of those, I'd settle for a Plymouth GTX. It's all about the American muscle cars.

reg

Watch gone in sixty seconds lately? Thats a nice Shelby.

I have always had the idea of buying an old Cady, maybe mid 80's, i dunno, something that is really big. Paint it jet black, black interior, dark black tints. Chrome everything (Rims, exhaust). Lower the bad boy, a little engine work, and you are a pimp.

flippin switches on the bitches he says heh reg
Translator please? Or does that mean turn the women on? And do you really need a car to do that?

Hmmmm.....

Aerienne, who likes a nice car, but would rather be in a pinto with a good guy than in anything with a pimp. reg

Here it is Emtel:

No kiddin Arienne. A bicycle ride with an intelligent, witty, *naturally* handsome man over some young pup who has to display his goods to impress people ANY day.

You want a "bitch" or you want a real woman?

Very nice, although I don't personally care for the wing. The new ones just look so clean... God, I want one. Maybe when I graduate here in a few years I'll be able to afford it. Ha.

My car? Anything Bentley:

Look at that wood-grain........

Get a Bentley Azure or Continental R, on some 18 inch chrome Dayton spokes, a flip-flop paint-job, and that interior. It's O.V.


rht reg

Yes, I will make sure to not forget her litter of puppies.
