Partially redeemed. Call me when you're done playing with Hot Wheels and Tonkas.

Keeping my feet on the ground, for now, my dream i can own is the Lexus LS430, bagged up, shaved emblems, all black.

Or a white/champagne, bagged, UCF20 LS400 sittings Weds Bazreias.

 

And a dream car that i can't own is the Buick GNX, unfortunately impossible to achieve, maybe i can pick a GN one day, but never a GNX.

 

Beautiful cars especially without any logos. How about a 1999 BMW 735. It looks pretty similar in style.

I've been giving it a thought, other than a Charger/Challenger of yesteryear & a modern Challenger Demon/Hellcat for over the top insane. I really wouldn't mind a Nissan GT-R, one of the new models for sure. But saying that a third generation GT-R R-32 (so 1989 to 2002) would also be amazing. Back in the early 90's it dominated our touring car race the Bathurst 1000km winning 91 & 92 in its class & with added weight to even the playing field with Mark Skaife & Jim Richards as the drivers, it really earned its name Godzilla.

Only 6-7 more years until the R34 is legal in the US.

 

For me, my dream car would be the Acura/Honda NSX

 

OR

 

A '71-72 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-X

 

Obviously the ones pictured are souped up version, so the platforms would make for a great project car.

I would get both though the Skyline 71-72 look a lot like a BMW 3.0 CSL

The first truck is a Terex Titan right??

The last car looks like a flattened Countach with BMW headlamps and grille

[Tarun10]

As for the ultimate airplane I would like to own apart from the Air Force One , it would probably be this black beauty

The second choice might be the stealth Nighthawk B2 but I would go with speed and hi res cameras over 2 nuclear bombs.

Pretty sure it's a Sherpa All terrain vehicle, skid steer with no suspension, pretty awesome little ATV. It featured on Top Gear UK the other week,

To be honest Dodge has some serious reliability issues. Every Durango Ive ever known (friends, family, co-workers) has had rediculous, catastrophic failures at very low mileage.

 

I know of 3 Durangos that had transmissions completely fail before 100K!

 

They are getting better with the brand new 2015+ models though, and that truck does look seriously badass

 

My dad had a Ford Ranger. Somehow the toughest truck on the planet despite the F-150 being a pile of shit. 435K before the engine went, suffered 7 major accidents in its life time. Rolled over off-roading and it was fine. Flew of the highway in the snow so hard it tore both front tires off the rims and not a single thing had broken on the truck.

 

I could not believe this thing, the little invincible truck that could lol.

Outside of the early '00 5.7 V8 Magnum engines, my Dakota hasn't had any real issues. There's more first generation Ram 1500-3500 trucks on the road than 11th generation and older Ford F150s on the road.

Father's 8.7L V10 Magnum has only had the AC system fail and the tranny get wrecked at 150K, which happened to just about everyone I've talked to with a Ford or Dodge from around that time period and regularly hauled stuff.

 

Their cheap offerings aren't that good, but neither are Ford, Honda, Toyota budget options, and reliability wise, still alot better than Shitrolet.

Dakotas had Magnums, not Hemis.

My dad used his Ranger for work. He hauled stuff but not too heavy, maybe 500-700 lbs. worth in the bed.

 

No tranny issues ever, in fact no mechanical issues at all besides it once needed a fuel pump (I wasn't surprised the truck was at 300K lol) when I was 14.

 

My dad wasnt good at mechanics. It was a weird situation where I actually thought him how to diagnose the fuel pump by spraying starting fluid into the throttle body while turning over the key to see if it would run with an input of fuel. It worked and the truck ran until I stopped spraying so I told him he needed a new fuel pump.

 

I remember I was with him at 18 years old when the thing finally exploded. Coming down the mountain from a job site, truck had just over 435,000 miles and had been running like total garbage lately, we knew she was due to die soon.

 

Sure enough, suddenly thick, black smoke erupts from the hood with a loud bang and something firing out and putting a dent in the hood. The engine was so old that on brand new oil at 2000 RPM it had decided to just let a rod through the block. So we rolled down the mountain to the ford dealership and he picked up another used Ranger, this time in red with a manual trans. I think he paid $11,000 USD and it was 5 years old with 56,000 miles on it.

The Deville would be a lowrider.

 

The Demon is insane. But, I would rather have a non Demon for more street purposes. 

 

And yeah, the Performante is a good idea. Should have been more specific in regards to that model.

Nobody can judge you for liking a classic Mini they were awesome :).

 

Can you not own a car in your country?

sure you can, but prices are bullshit high compared to just about any country, and you'd have to pay a big 5-figure sum to actually be able to own a car, and that's just for 10 years.

Oh are you in Singapore then? Ya I heard Singapore is the worst place to ever own a car. Something like 300% import taxes making any foreign car pretty much an un-achievable dream.

Wow thats beyond rediculous. You could nearly buy a Ferrari for that. I think the cheapest Lamborghini can be had for around that.

yup, and you have to keep coughing up that COE money every 10 years, which isn't exactly cheap at all (40k right now). one of the reasons i wanna emigrate

The Dakota engine exploded at 115K miles. The V10 Magnum is HEAVILY abused and it's about to hit 300K with nothing more than regular maintenence. A Powerstroke wouldn't hit 250K under the same conditions without being rebuilt.

But the Magnum V8 used in third gen Dakos where problematic, and Dodge lit a fire under their own asses to get that fixed.
