You're (relatively affordable) dream car

What car are you aspiring to be able to afford? Either in the future or immediate future. Realistically, so no Lambo's.... unless your Jon Olsson.

For me, I would love a 1989 Jaguar XJS. My friends dad has one and its pretty swanky. Would be nice/amazing to have this before I'm 25...

In later life, depending how my degree and therefore job opportunities go, a VW Sirrocco.
It's badass

such a pimp ride. I ended up getting a 2010 2.5L Golf (still fly's) cause I couldn't justify the extra $$$ and premium gas, but DAMN the GTI is fun to drive.

Not gonna argue that, Bowlers are teh sexy and have almost the same 0-60 on dirt as they do on pavement, which makes my pantalones tight like whoa.  If I didn't need a bed to put shit in and we took the "affordable" clause out of this experiment tho, I'd have one sitting next to an Ariel Atom and a G63 in my fantasy garage.  ;)

I agreed with this 100% until it was brought to my attention just how horrible they are on anything but clean, dry pavement. 

It's still the sexiest crossover BY FAR, but it's lack of function kicked it down a few notches for me on the fantasy scale.  Still bite-my-fist sexy tho...  But sweet Jeebus they are amazing looking.  I seent' one on the highway a few weeks ago rim'd up and bumping and my eyes needed a rape kit afterwards.

This for sure. I test drove one earlier in the summer when I went in to ask about the new Golf R, and I was almost convinced to take the GTI instead of waiting, since they had the four door with manual in the color I wanted, but FWD doesn't really cut it around here in the winter. After driving my brother's STI, I was still satisfied with how the GTI drove and how fast it felt. Way less lag than the STI too. It was a pretty smooth acceleration, not wait, wait, wait, oh HELLO 4k RPM KAPOW.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being content with that! I love old cars, not necessarily deemed "classic".
They just have that 'look' about them, especially if you keep them nice and shiny and not a rust bucket haha.

Wouldn't be too keen on the blue on that though, nothing a spray cant fix

Get an 08 R32 - ok not manual, but still....  I loved mine, great car, so much more planted then a GTi (had both) with no torque steer and under steer common to the GTi (due to 200bhp being close to limit of what you want going through front wheels).

So mega deals out there on them too....   couldn't speak highly enough of them.

Well the one you pictured is the pole expedition special model that would cost WELL over $100,000 (and that's being conservative) but in that case I'd say yes for cold environment expeditions it is better. The model you pictured is a far cry from stock Hilux models though... Def don't let that screw up your vehicular fantasy though, cuz that mammajamma is sicktahzamofo.


In stock trim, however... I disagree. Love the diesel powerplant and the tough as nails rep fo sho, but it is not a long travel desert racer in street clothes by any means... and by that measure, my hooker would be covered in coffee the second I blew over a curb @80mph as is the reg on my commute.

Yeah but not modified to that extent, that is my goal of what I want it to look like. Already purchased the rims, just gotta get coils and a lip kit.

WANT... A wide body kit on that would be sick!! Also I've seen people with v8s in them so sick. If I were to get one I would put a 928 v8 in it.
