I'd pay stupid money for the truck I had in Afghanistan for mail runs. Ford Ranger, 4 door, manual, 4wd, diesel. Pretty sure it went to the crusher when we left.

Something along the lines of a modernized E-type Jag. The world needs more grand tourers and fewer supercars disguised as grand tourers.

A continuation of the IH Scout with a nice V6, power steering and brakes AC and maybe auto transmission because I’m old.

An updated VW camper van that is a 4x4, high clearance and has a center diff lock.
The current camper vans are top heavy shit on a shingle. The tech is all there. It’s just doing it. Or offering it as a kit. |

Give me the boosted vr6. Fastest TT is still a vr6 swapped car. Freaking dieselgate. I hate the fallout we got, but I kinda love the spirit of it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Been discussed here in some detail, but Porsche just offered a manual transmission in the 911 again because they expect a full fifth of their customer base to buy them. Lots of people disappointed in how they went about it, though. I want a manual M3/M4 with the traditional kidney grills, or a manual M8. BMW says the M8 won't get one because of the stress 600hp puts on the clutch, and they'd have to restrict the off-the-line performance...or some such BS. Clutches are easy to setup for big power, Nancy office types who will only ever use 10% of it but wanted the badges for status though would complain their toothpick legs couldn't push the heavy pedal waaaaahhhh its too hard |

I heard rumors of Mazda playing with a fuel electric. Supposedly the next rotary will power an alternator and the drives will be electric. It's a travesty and an affront the the RX history but neat concept otherwise

Infiniti with GT-R engine. They s-canned the project. I think they were having NVH issues they couldn't resolve.

Quote HistoryQuoted: A 3/4 ton or 1 ton Ford F-Series Truck with a 800Hp/1500TQ Twin Turbo cummins engine, and an Allison Transmission. A F150 with a 5.0 Coyoteboost engine too  You would still be stuck living with a Ford truck. That's a gross way to live. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've been talking about this since I was a teenager. It exists in computers, guns, musical instruments, etc. Not cars tho. Ever. It's almost criminally stupid to seize the practicality and opportunity involved. Think of how many aftermarket industries, from huge ones to a dude in his garage making a single part, might be involved. Sucks. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I want grown up Lego cars.

It's almost criminally stupid to seize the practicality and opportunity involved. Think of how many aftermarket industries, from huge ones to a dude in his garage making a single part, might be involved. Sucks. VW Beetles are probably as close as any car has ever been to that. One of their selling points earlier on was that if your wife dinged it up, you could get replacement parts from the dealer and switch them out yourself. Fenders had about 10 bolts and cost less than $30. Then of course the variety of aftermarket parts and kits that were available for them. I think one thing holding this back besides safety requirements is that car models don't last long enough to garner third party support anymore. By the time anyone spins up a kit the factory is rolling out the next generation. Most people don't want their brand new car to look just like the 10 or even 3-5 year old car they're replacing. |
