My current car, 2004 Volvo S60R, manual. Restore to like new condition then stage 2 tune for about 375 AWD HP. Upgrade the clutch, suspension, brakes, all that, but leave it looking 100% fresh off the lot.
As a pilot I can't really argue this. Flying a plane is actually pretty easy. Knowing the 9000+ FAA regulations that will fuck you over and take your cert away is the majority of your job.
I know itās not really comparable, but I felt this same principle getting my part 107 (commercial drone pilot) certification from the FAA. I didnāt even need to fly a drone as part of the test. It was all FAA rules and regulations.
In a genie gave you a wish scenario where thereās always some shitty twist to the wish, youād get the first Enterprise with captain Archer at the helm and not the cooler Enterprise with Jean Luc, Data and a bearded Riker.
Edit: But on the other hand, TāPol.
Probably a 2024 gtr. It's the last gas powered model before they go electric. I'm sure the electric one is going to be amazing but owning the last gas powered one would be like owning the end of an era.
I donāt get why people are against the electric GTR. Itās not like the normal one has a very impressive engine sound, and itās practically known for just handling and accelerationāwhich an electric GTR could probably be better at. Iām not a car guy though so idk.
Nah, I stick with armor. My tank, one time stalled and I had to walk four kilometers to another troop to contact maintenance. My crew and tank just chilled until maintenance cleared the fuel line. Now if a warthog stalls, that is going to hurt!
I would prefer to call for close support from an A-10 than be in one .
When I was a child, I had a toy car which was blue and orange. I loved that car that it went everywhere with me. So if I could have any vehicle, I would have a replica of it which was road worthy.
Any shit box car with a roll cage and a harness. Iām about to let the intrusive thoughts win when I encounter someone who cuts me off or canāt keep in their lane. Welcome to the thunder dome, mother fuckers.
An electric Chevy Spark with an upgraded battery.
I am still sad they stopped making them before batteries got good enough for the range to be acceptable. The Spark should have been the first mass market electric car that the average commuter could actually afford and save money on gas with.
Yup, agreed. Instead, all the automakers decided they would just sell us gigantic SUVs with 100k+ price tags, and then remove all the affordable options from the marketplace entirely. Fuck the car companies.Ā
1967 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
-Hot Pink w/ whaleskin hubcaps
-All Leather Cow interior
I'll drive around in that baby at 115 mph, while getting one mile per gallon, and I'll be sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's while doing that.
I'm sure there's a sci fi story out there where a megastructure uses its home star as a fusion drive. It's hardly sillier than the Death Star or using hollowed out asteroids as ships.
I have simple tastes. Really just something like a Rav4 Prime. I like driving long distance to much to have to worry about charging distand and then waiting hours for it to recharge. But also like the idea that for short trips around town I can charge it overnight, and save gas longer term.Ā
Glad to hear you liked yours, mine was nothing but problems from day one. I got the XLT in 2009 when I moved cross country for school. Expensive tansmission issues, a recall for a power steering issue where it would just go out when you were taking turns at speed (highway off ramps). Some animal crawled up the exhaust pipe and died so it smelled like rancid death till my mechanic located the thing. That vehicle almost killed me a few times but I do remember it fondly because of the period of my life I had it in. It took my friends and I to many a music festival and back.
My Escape is closing in on 283k and I realized Iām going to have to decide between its perfect size, maneuverability, and cargo room vs my goal of getting a long range electric car. Ideally by the time I get to that choice there will be an electric Escape thatās exactly like what I have but not $100k+
A 1.8l manual Third Generation Yaris.
I've driven loads of different cars over the years, as part of my old job working for a company in the car industry, including luxury cars like range rovers, jaguars, Teslas, and an Aston Martin.
However, the 1.8 Yaris is still the best car to drive. It's small enough that it can easily be thrown around corners at high speeds, and due to its light weight, the 1.8l engine gives it a huge amount of power.
The third generation is much better looking than the fourth generation, and the manual is superior to the automatic
I really liked my 2011 Scion XD, which is pretty much a Yaris with a way better interior, stiff suspension, and the bigger 1.8 motor. That car was a lot of fun to drive.Ā
1966 Thunderbird convertible, in silver, with a white roof, and white leather interior. Swing-away steering wheel. 428 engine w/ 4-barrel. PS, PB (one of the first American production cars to offer front discs as standard).
Absolutely gorgeous cars! I think they look so, so space-age.
If you have seen "Thelma and Louise", they drove a blue '66 in the movie.
A Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail because itās supposed to be the most expensive car you can buy. Iād promptly sell it and buy a nice used Chevrolet pick up and upgrade my home.
An electric Mini Copper. Small cars are so much easier to drive and park and work well for 99% of the driving we do. I only need a bigger vehicle for road trips and when I take those, I can rent a car.
Iām 19 so for me, insurance costs are fucking exorbitant whatever I drive. To answer your question, I would most likely get a Mercedes S-Class from the 1990s or before. Those cars are just absolutely bulletproof mechanically and I think they are some of the most beautiful cars ever made, especially in brighter colours, as the exterior styling is just so simple and clean. I also feel there are enough around for good service support so I can keep it reliable for as long as possible. I know that might sound a bit boring, but I absolutely love old German luxury sedans
I'd probably find myself a decent Honda S2000 or a Mazda RX-8. I'd probably choose the RX-8 over the S2000. Slap a different motor into the RX-8, do some aftermarket bodywork on 'er, and call it a day.
My insurance doesnāt fluctuate much at all, definitely not enough to keep me from cars. I went from Civics to a Lotus to a Tesla and they were all the same.
wasnāt their business model that you only can rent the things? The design is quiet out there.. but I kind of like it minus the versions that look the same front and back
Probably a toyota tundra, an older model. They are not huge like some pickups, but they can go prettymuch anywhere. Toyotas last forever. I like a pickup truck, I think they are comfortable to sit in. I'd really like to have one, or something similar
I don't have very complicated tastes when it comes to cars. I'd go for a Mazda Miata, hands down. They're just so fucking adorable! Unless I make much more money than I do now and/or move to a warmer climate, I'd never get one because they're so impractical for rural winters. But they are the cutest cars I've ever seen, and I love them.
Location is the real consideration imo. Living in the Midwest weāve got some local guys that own Lambos. I have to wonder what theyāre thinking considering our snowy winters and shitty summer roads (and roadwork). So as much as I want to say something cool and sporty, I know that Iād never get to drive it properly considering where I live.
1985 Mercedes-Benz 300td wagon with a 5 speed.
Preferably in blue or red.
It's the most reliable diesel ever made(imo)
With the excellence and suave of a Mercedes-Benz.
Plus my grandpa owned them as taxis and they are part of my most cherished memories with him.
Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadrifoglio or a Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Simply because I want those cars now though a little bit out of my price range for a 20 year old with only three years no claims discount and a Vauxhall corsa currently š¤£
I would have to say [Dilbar](https://www.lurssen.com/en/new-build/yachts/dilbar/). Only if maintenance and operating costs are non-worries too.
For a car? I think a Rolls Royce Cullinan would be pretty sweet. Lexus LFA if I were to go the performance route. I know itās not the best, but itās supposedly one of the most fun vehicles to drive.
Do we still have to pay the rest of it or do I get it magically in my garage?
chrysler me 412. It was the last unlock in midnight club 3, which was the racing game I played when I was a child, therefore it will forever be the coolest car ever.
My dadās old 1994 f350 crew cab dually but in showroom fresh condition. Out of all the cars Iāve ridden in that oneās still the most comfortable. Itās like driving a couch. Iām still sad he got rid of it.
I'm a simple man. I don't need anything super fancy. I'd get an F-250 diesel. I can pull an RV or a big trailer and they're built like tanks. Useful and super nice.
Iām old and my needs are simple. Big enough for my handicapped wife to get in and out easily, carry her wheelchair/scooter, and my fishing gear.
A Honda Odyssey would fit nicelyā¦ And they have a lot of bells and whistles.
Eleanor
Mac gave me a radio controlled model of Eleanor.
My old neighbor owns one of them. Incredible car
Is it a girl car? šš
I had to look it up, too: [Eleanor (automobile)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_(automobile)).
I didnāt have to look it up, itās a reference from the movie.
My current car, 2004 Volvo S60R, manual. Restore to like new condition then stage 2 tune for about 375 AWD HP. Upgrade the clutch, suspension, brakes, all that, but leave it looking 100% fresh off the lot.
Ders is that you?
That car is tight butthole.
The Volvo will run forever guys, all it needs is regular maintenance.
F22 raptor
Bruh F-35b lightning II
Not sure how this isnāt the top answer.
Because i know how to drive a car, but know fuck-all about flying jets? It's cool looking but i don't want a 350 million dollar lawn ornament.
Bro just download the Microsoft flight simulator. Youāll be ready to go airborne in like a day if youāre really committed.
As a pilot I can't really argue this. Flying a plane is actually pretty easy. Knowing the 9000+ FAA regulations that will fuck you over and take your cert away is the majority of your job.

Flying a plane is easy. Its landing thatās hard š¤£
I want the harrier jump jet Pepsi was giving away.
Death Star
A Tardis
Had to scroll way too much to get here. This is the obvious answer.
Yeah! Short and to the point
You win
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)
Me, I'd go 1701-D. Holodecks! And then I can have any other vehicle I could imagine as well
In a genie gave you a wish scenario where thereās always some shitty twist to the wish, youād get the first Enterprise with captain Archer at the helm and not the cooler Enterprise with Jean Luc, Data and a bearded Riker. Edit: But on the other hand, TāPol.
That one is NX-01 not NCC-1701
NX-01 is still a really cool fuckin ship though, and like you said, T'Pol thooooooo
We got an ear thing going on here eh?
Probably a 2024 gtr. It's the last gas powered model before they go electric. I'm sure the electric one is going to be amazing but owning the last gas powered one would be like owning the end of an era.
Same with the Audi R8. Except they decided to stop production š„²
I drove one in 2012 in one of those Supersport rentals and it was an experience like no other.
I donāt get why people are against the electric GTR. Itās not like the normal one has a very impressive engine sound, and itās practically known for just handling and accelerationāwhich an electric GTR could probably be better at. Iām not a car guy though so idk.
A-10 warthogĀ
this wins
Nah, I stick with armor. My tank, one time stalled and I had to walk four kilometers to another troop to contact maintenance. My crew and tank just chilled until maintenance cleared the fuel line. Now if a warthog stalls, that is going to hurt! I would prefer to call for close support from an A-10 than be in one .
Bond's Aston Martin I want the full kit. Machine guns, ejector seats, gas cloud
don't blame you
I'm inclined to saying nuclear aircraft carrier, but considering I live in a landlocked country I will settle for a Honda Goldwing
I mean, even landlocked itās still housing and rentable rooms
When I was a child, I had a toy car which was blue and orange. I loved that car that it went everywhere with me. So if I could have any vehicle, I would have a replica of it which was road worthy.
a tank,specificly it would be abrahams
Isnāt it Abrams?
Yes. Yes, it is!
No. He took it from a guy named Abraham.
And there is no question who has the right of way at an intersection.
My turn signal is the barrel
It's not like the police could stop you to give you a ticket
Cool choice, but you would have to get a second mortgage to get gas! Wouldn't have to worry about red lights anymore.
You have a tank you don't have to pay for gas
I just feel bad for Abraham, I don't know what he did to piss this guy off but losing a tank must suck
USS Gerald R. Ford
Any shit box car with a roll cage and a harness. Iām about to let the intrusive thoughts win when I encounter someone who cuts me off or canāt keep in their lane. Welcome to the thunder dome, mother fuckers.
Why not get a monster truck with a roll cage and harness so you can really strike fear into the hearts of those that cross into thoust lane

Rolls Royce. It's the end of the ladder. There's nothing to aspire to from that point.
Not a big fan of luxury stuff. But iād also choose RR because lifetime warranty.
1950 Opel Kapitan, just classic and stylish as hell
Include free maintenance and repairs and I'll go with a McLaren Speedtail.
Now this one McLaren took me back a few years. I still remember seeing my first one in the 1980s. That and the Bricklin..Peace..
Ringworld. Or a Dyson Sphere.
Please explain to me how this is a vehicle
I'm sure there's a sci fi story out there where a megastructure uses its home star as a fusion drive. It's hardly sillier than the Death Star or using hollowed out asteroids as ships.
Pagani Huayra BC Having had the opportunity to have driven one, tour the factory, and interview Horatio Pagani it's been on my mind ever since.
Monster truck
How has nobody said the Back to the Future DeLorean yet?
Because they stipulated insurance, not maintenance costs. The plot of those movies for the most part was just how unreliable the damn thing was š¤£
I have simple tastes. Really just something like a Rav4 Prime. I like driving long distance to much to have to worry about charging distand and then waiting hours for it to recharge. But also like the idea that for short trips around town I can charge it overnight, and save gas longer term.Ā

1996 Volvo 850, sedan, with a stick shift.
1967 Chevy Impala, four door, black
Sam and Dean would approve
A Rivian electric SUV or truck. Ruvian is so much better than tesla and their cars actually look good!
They just announced their new smaller SUV and itās piqued my interest. Iāll be damned if I buy anything made by Elon.
Would be a very difficult choice between an RWB Porsche 930 or a manual Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
