Cal Blacksmith Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I commute in a 01 Neon in my day job. 65 miles each way and I get about 29 mpg with it. My blacksmith truck is a 94 Dodge 1/2 ton that gets about 17 mpg. It cost $80 yesterday to fill the tank OUCH! If money was no object EVER, I would drive a new Hemi P/U and to heck with the gas! The other car I would have is a 68 to 70 Hemi Charger. I have loved those cars since I was knee high to an elephant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBrennan Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 05 Cadillac CTS. I'm driving the car I want to drive. Well no, I wanted the 400 hp CTS-V but my wife was concerned I'd kill myself in one and with my 56 year old reactions I probably would, my son's SVT Mustang was too fast for my reactions. 255hp moves along just fine.

feersum dreadnot Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 2005 Subaru Legacy GT wagon. fast, fun, and a relative sleeper. decent milage, AWD, 6 airbags, all that good stuff. if $ were no object, and if I could fit (I'm 6'8"), I'd drive a Ford GT in the summer, and an Audi S8 in the winter.

Speedball Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 92' Dodge pickup w/ 210K miles. $ no object?.......Lexus 430 ......[au] ....I would settle for a Toyota 4-Runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuclearay Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 98 Dodge Ram PU about 800 miles a week. Yeah, my gas bill eats me up but I have a hard time gettting rid of a vehicle that is 1)paid for and 2)runs like a scalded dawg! Approaching 130k miles and it runs better than new. Money no object: The '06 BMW M3 with the V8 looks tasty. Anything GM modified by Lingenfelter (RIP) would be hot (say a '98 Impala SS!). SpaceshipOne would be a fun ride too.

colterphoto1 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Honda Accord EX 5 speed Honda Accord EX 5 speed It's the perfect balance of economy, sportiness, utility, and style for me personally. The current one is my third. They all last about 10 years or 200,000 miles and never break down. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2K Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I have a 1994 Chev S-10 ext cab 4 WD Vortec CPI pu that I bought new and currently has 73,000 miles on it. I have a 1999 Maxima in the garage that rolled over 19,000 miles yesterday. If price were no object I'd keep my cars, charter a small jet fly out and pick up fini and m00n and use the money to drink beer and raise hell in Hawaii until the money ran out. Cars wear out. Memories last. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo72 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 04 Dodge Ram Quad cab "Hemi", or my 1970 Plymouth Cuda (Only when the sun shines [] ) Money no object 1971 Plymouth Cuda Convertible 426 Hemi. One recently didn't hit the 5 million reserve at an auction. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 If money were no object, i'd be building me a toy to drive day in day out. ( at least in the summer) I found a minty '81 olds cutlass 2 door when I was in Toronto, On for trade school, the car was originally from FL.The old guy I rented a room off of had it in his garage, the paint is showroom quality, the tires are original, it has 7,543 MILES on the odometer! It was owned by his mother, made two trips to ontario, then she died and he acquired it.Heck, the exhaust is original, it looks like it was put on last week!A car like that is just begging for an aluminum headed 455 olds with a procharger under the stock hood, with a built 200r4 overdrive and a 3.55 gear. ( gotta throw out that lame 7.5 diff though ) Possibly a 9" ford drop in housing from Moser would be the best bet. I would even be able to rid the car of the factory rear 9" drums with the terrible wheel cylinders retained by a clip. What was GM thinking? [:'(]Headers with a full 3" exhaust with x-pipe, and a F.A.S.T fuel injection setup on a modified Mondello intake. Ross custom pistons swinging from Oliver rods would replace the stockers. Factory based crankshaft would be plenty strong, just need to resize the journals. A 460 ford rubber rear main seal would have to replace the stock rope seal. Why GM, why? [:'(] Paint would have to be something close to a stock color, maybe one of the RM Carrizma colours ( similar to a Kandy ), in a dark red metallic, sporting subtle pearl flames. Door handles & locks would have to go, they are ugly as sin. []As for rolling stock, i'd call up Stockton Wheel or Wheel Vintiques, and order a set of the stock style steel GM rallye wheels in 17" diameter, shod in Pirelli rubber.Of course, I would also have to order up a set of the Edelbrock / Hotchkiss conversion upper control arm kits and bolt on the taller B-body spindle. Baer would be the choice for a braking system to put the squeeze on speed. Braided stainless flex hoses will firm up the pedal feel, as well.A higher ratio steering box out of a camaro would have to replace the slow stock unit. Polyurethane bushings would be a must to replace all the soggy, mushy factory bushings. Up front, an 1 1/4" diameter antiswaybar out of a diesel model ( yes, they did make a cutlass diesel ! ), and a rear 3/4" bar will help keep body roll to a minimum. Rear lower control arms flex too much, they need to be replaced with fabricated box tube units that are greasable. Upper control arms are non-adjustable fixed units from the factory, an adjustable unit here will change the instant center of the suspension, giving better bite.The interior would definately have to go, seats are hella ugly and too soft, offering zero support. A set of Kirkey fabricated alumium seats upholstered and mounted to the factory tracks should oughta look mean.Factory dash? No way, jose! Hell-a gay. Lose the entire instrument cluster, and replace with Autometer Phantom gauges. Just the basics, 5" electronic speedo, 5" tach, 2 5/8" oil pressure, water temp, and fuel gauge. Oh, and their 2 1/16" air/fuel ratio gauge, works with a standard oxygen sensor, just weld a bung into the collector on each header, and a SPDT switch to toggle between banks.

Zealot125 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 C6 corvette with the lingenfelter 427 CID LS2 725 HP twin turbo.

dgb Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Currently drive a 2003 Subaru WRX. Fun in all kinds of weather, and cheap insurance for a high performance car. If price were no object... Probably an a/c Cobra 427. Really the ultimate no-frills, bad *** sports car. Huge power, light weight, convertable, and just looks plain cool. For the newer cars probably a Viper for the same reasons. Although the Mercedes SLKs are pretty sweet too and the new 911 Turbo. If I had massive fundage I'd be one of those crazy bastards with like 40 cars. Not all expensive either. Like the classic Cherokees, Eagle Talon Tsi, VW Schirocco and Thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
