Wild itch on my ass dream car: Viper GTS I have obtained the car I have always wanted in the configuration I wanted: 1997 Pontiac Trans Am Ws6, 6spd, Hardtop (non t-top car). People don't seem to care for the 93-97 Trans Am body style mainly because of the LT1. Everyone wants the 98-02 when they refreshed the front end and dropped the LS1 in the F-body. Clean LT1 cars are hard to find these days. |

The one I want nobody wants because nobody can afford it - the ultimate armored SUV, the Knight XV.
The one I want that nobody wants and nobody has ever heard of, the Dartz Pombron Nagel, a Russian armored supercar that I think never went into production. Would have probably been as reliable as a Lada and as user friendly as a T-62. |

Lately, I've thought that a 1978-ish Chevy Nova would make a fun candidate for a sleeper LS swap. It probably has been done before, but I haven't seen many.
 I've also always liked Mercury Comets since I was a kid, without really being able to explain why. There doesn't seem to be many of these around, either:  |

A coaxial L37A2 7.62 mm machine gun was mounted with 2,600 rounds. The weapons were not stabilised. This turret was also equipped with a set of two 4-barrelled smoke dischargers. The vehicle had a combat weight of 6.75 tonnes and was designed to be air-portable" "Without preparation, the Fox can ford one metre of water and a flotation screen can be erected in two minutes." it has 434 km range and 104 km max speed. it can -just- do highways in the usa. amphibious makes it super interesting, imo. and of course, a 30mm cannon is just too hilarious.  i remember 10 years ago it was still just a prototype. now it seems to cost around 60k. i personally prefer soft wings so if the engine fails, i'll simply float to the ground. |
