Rowleym Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I figured this would be interesting. We all love bmw's, thats for sure. But are there any cars that you own, or want, that are non bmw? Ill start. Always wanted one ever since I was a kid, I always loved the box looking flares, yet its a sedan that has all the practicality one would need. Very easy to work on, very affordable, and I can make it INCREDIBLY fast, and handle very well all in one package, yet drive it every single day (AWD).

Ryan... Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 They occasionally pop up on Fchat in the $30k range, and I find them oddly appealing. The Mondial never gets much love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I spent a lot of time in years past reading Super Street magazine, and have a deep love of all things JDM. I'd kill for an NSX, FD, MR2, or my dream car.... A Hakosuka.I've also always had a thing for super clean EK hatches... If I ever find a clean unmolested one in white, I'll be hard pressed not to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Lotus Espirit S4S. I have loved them ever since I saw one as a kid. The styling is what really drew me in My dream car as a kid was this exact package chevelle. It just screamed awesome to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I grew up playing gran turismo 2 so i'm going to have to sound like a fanboi and say a few from Nissan's stable. This get's even more tempting having an importer here in Janesville that constantly has R32's and Silvia's on hand. The R32 GT-R, R33 GT-R R34 GT-R (in midnight purple), S15 Silvia or S13 Sil80. Hell, i'd even be tempted by a Skyline GT-S! I also have a deep seated love for Mustangs so I don't know if I could pass up on a 60's fastback.

KaiserRolls Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Anything and everything 2 stroke Honda (not a car but idgaf) This is a dream build one day.... Cr500 bored and stroked to 600. Swapped into an aluminum frame. Kind of a throwback to the old "service Honda" bikes. Not to mention 93rwhp in a 210lb package would be an absolute riot. Plus watching your friends try to kick it over would be fantastic Jeff, rampelsauce and wasnt m3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 The Hammer! That's an awesome car! I've always liked the W201 Mercedes. A 16v 190e would be tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 more on the 'wish' list side: not sure why the f50 gets so much hate, but I love the thing. i wouldn't rock it in convertible mode, though. more on the practical side, if i had some money for get a 'weekend' car, a Viper GTS would be at the top of my list. and yes, i would be acting like a knucklehead american doing burnouts and wearing bald eagle t-shirts if i owned one.

rampelsauce Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'm getting ready for the hate. I love tiny quirky cars. Kei cars (Suzuki Alto Works RSR and Every Van), Trabants, and the BMW 700 are on the short list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kei cars (Suzuki Alto Works RSR and Every Van), Trabants, and the BMW 700 are on the short list. I rode in a Suzuki Carry once (no rear seats, just fronts) and sat in a lawn chair in the back. Not a lot of headroom when doing that. I will try to find the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 GTA was on my list. Before I bought my e21 i seriously considered an Alfetta "Sport Sedan" that was on ebay before passing up due to excess doors (not this one of course): Twist my head around evey time I see one of those olde Mercedes wagons... Land Rover Defenders are cool too, but like old Alfas, I file them in the I-dont-hate-myself-or-my-wallet-that-much category. Also like just about any late 60s/early 70s Datsuns. 510, 620, 240z, doesn't matter. '65 Riviera None of those are really guilty pleasures though, I just like them. How about slammed Foresters?

rampelsauce Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Most of you guys chose cool cars. I thought the guilty pleasure thing was to choose something you like that's dumb, like Rowley and I did. patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 well, if you feel a little guilty admitting you like it, it counts. for instance, I feel guilty that ANY dodge is on my list of cool cars. rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yeah I think I screwed up and didnt follow directions so i'll just have to go ahead and M62 swap all of my choices. KaiserRolls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I think an original beetle would be a super fun winter beater... except heat is nice... and freeways... but rear-engine slidey fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 My new nomination: Take a white Corolla XRS with the high revving yamaha vvtli engine and undress it to poverty spec then fit it with aftermarket suspension that sits at stock ride height.

REKIII Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I've always thought these were cool. They have the round 90's style and a 1.8L V6 5 speed......why they ever made it, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
