All of them. Seriously, I liked trucks, sports cars, muscle cars, luxury cars. If I had money at that age shit would have got real.

'73 SD 455 Trans Am 4-speed. Ended up buying a '74 two years later (blown motor) swapped out for a lesser 455. M22 transmission. Traded out a ratty '69 R/T Charger w/ 440 Magnum for it.

I was about 6 or 7 and he'd take me around for joy rides. Interesting dude. Miami Vice kinda character. Still though, my dream car was a Testarossa in yellow. |

70 Chevelle SS 454 and Jaguar XJ220.
Both are still in my top 5 list if I win Mega Millions someday. Honorable mentions 2002 right hand drive Nissan S15 Late 80s K5 Blazer |

Same as today, Jag XKE convertible.
As a poor I've have NB1 Miata for 15 years now. Viper in the front, XKE'ish in the rear. |

I had a car craft magazine with a 70 chevelle. Acapulco gold. Narrowed tubbed big block with lots of chrome. Dreamed of that car for ages

Delorean, Hummer, GT40, or a big fucking '59 Cadillac convertible.

When I was 11, a teammate's aunt would drive us to baseball practice in a '67 GTO. It was my dream car for five years until it became my first car. No regarts

I came very close to pulling the trigger on a Triumph TR7. I waited a year and bought a new ‘78 Thunderbird in the Fall of 1977. Just like this one.

When I was a kid I was around all kinds of old American muscle cars and classic trucks so those seemed easy to obtain. Driving them working on them. Just kinda everywhere back home. Favorite of those was a buds grandpas Model A sedan. He didn’t give a fuck if we fired it up and drove it anytime long as it wasn’t raining
One car I kinda had a thing for and don’t know why was the Bugatti 110. Maybe because it wasn’t easily obtainable https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_EB_110 |

Mine was a civic ek hatch. They were 10.5k at the dealer. I was broke. But now I bought one and got one straight from japan.

It was like sitting on the couch and driving the house (according to my father). |

View Quote Our neighbors had that 72 SS. They bought it new and the son got it. It was in great condition, just found out that he sold it awhile back. I always assumed that he would be buried in that car. |

They tried to run a popo roadblock and got shot up. My bodyshop pal patched, painted, and fixed the upholstery, and I flipped it for about $1500 net. |

I didn't even know about the syclone until well after it was old news. That's the exact kind of oddball vehicle I like. Later in life I leaned about the Ford Lightning (once they supercharged it). I had kids by then but damn I wanted one so bad. The MSRP on the lightning was like $27,500. I should have bought one. |

Quoted: I started out at 16 wanting an early 70's GTO or Firebird but ended up owning Celicas then Supras for most of my life and loved them all! I currently still own and drive this one. Drove it today in fact. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/7049/8pc3E9.jpg View Quote I've seen that same pic on here at least 7 years, but if you haven't cleaned those headlights since then, a little buffing with polishing compound, then a sealant wax makes a world of difference. Your stock 94TT is worth 6 digits so it should look like it. :) @gomulego Personally, I'd buy some 97-98 style headlights while they're still available as your's aren't any longer. Keep yours safe inside. Easy swap and makes a positive appearance change. Same story with the turn signals and tail lights. Your wheels look polished 97-98 and not '94 chrome anyway? |

at 16? my dream car was pretty much anything that ran. i was poor and couldnt afford a car.
i guess if I was dreaming it would have been a 69 Bronco or an International Scout. maybe a GT 500 KR. porsches and ferraris were so far out of my lifestyle that they might as well be flying saucers. |

This was mine.
I asked my dad to buy one so we could work on it together and he laughed and told me no. Attached File |
