I am definitely digging the new VW Passat 4-Motion V8......that is one hot car......

For now I am quite content with my little red Jetta VR6, for which I actually passed a brand-new 4Runner on to my husband for. I had already had one 4Runner that I LOVED, it was white with the gold package and gold stripes and a beautiful camel interior with the wood grain trim. It had everything. For some reason, when the time came to turn it in and I got my new one, it just wasn't the same. I had been drooling over the newer Jettas for some time and I finally talked my hubby into taking my truck so I could get one......(he also got to buy a perfectly restored '71 Vette too, so he got TWO cars out of the deal.)

If I could just get anything in the world I wanted, I would probably get the Passat for daily scooting around, a Lexus LX470 for hauling the kids about, and then maybe a little red Mercedes convertible for fun.

This means little to me, but to make the guys drool, my dad, who is quite the car lover, recently traveled across the country to buy a Shelby Cobra...........

The BMW Z3 (in Atlantic Blue) was my dream car, but now they've stopped making them! I just don't like the Z4 as much. Guess I'll be shopping the used car lots when the time comes...

Now, I wouldn't classify this as a "dream car" but I do think it's kind of neat. Did anyone else see the Burberry London Taxi on the Today Show a few days ago? Here it is:

I think I'd like it a little more without the "Taxi" sign on the front. It sort of reminds me of the PT Cruiser, but with Nova-check seats! ;) (me gusta Burberry!)

I'm into the really small cars, the Mini is really cute but the Smart car is my favorite. :)

I have a pretty stellar job working as a Bellman at a nice 4 star hotel, so i get to drive all kinds of different cars. I'd say my favorite for: handling, looks, performance, etc., is the Mercedes E L 500.
For cars like that, i like to crank up some good tunes and roll down the windows to impress the chicks ;)

I want a 1989 Mercedes 560SL Roadster Convertible in red with a black top.

I like the BMW Z3 a lot, but my top dream car is the Audi TT Roadster! I love the fact that it's a convertible, but it is a retractible hard top roof so you don't get cold in the winter! Oh, how I wish I could afford one! They don't make them automatic and I can't drive stick, but I would learn for this car!

Sports cars should NEVER be automatic; it defeats the whole purpose!

Its a JEEP thing, you wouldn't understand ... he he

Although I'm really not into cars (to me, a good car is one that gets me from point A to point B and has air conditioning) I think the Mini is really cute, as is the VW Beetle (love the little vase).

Toyota Camry-Solara in black, also like the deep red, and pearlized white. I also like the 1999 Pearlized white Nissan Maxima. In luxury cars I like the 700 series BMW's (I like BIG cars). Cars I get either have to be V6 or V8, and if it's possible I like them to be at least 3.8L, but I'd budge if they were still V6. I like long cars, but coupes, so the Maxima and the BMW's are kinda second to the Solara b/c they are 4-door sedans.

Real cool car I drove: 1994 Mustang Convertible V8, 5.0L, and was tight was red, had nice system, Flowmaster exhaust and hoodscoops! This was last Feb, and even though it was FREEZING, we had the top down and were torquing the tires and drag racing it (I'm a slow driver if I'm on the road, but I can make a car roar and squeel in an empty parking lot!) Hehehe, and the funny part was that is was this guys GRANDMA's car :eek: , and she got all that work on it because she was like 65 and liked fast loud cars!

I don't know about that, the performance of good cars isn't lost because of their capability...But it is an insult to drive a nice car that's automatic.

I wasn't saying the performance was different. I just think stick is way more fun!
