Dream car?

[jsharmon7]

Just like the title says. Mine is below, the Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Black Series. I want to see what else is out there, so let's hear it.

Now you're thinking SMART

Here's mine...

Personally, I can't pick a dream car. I like too many for too many different purposes to just pick one. Can't do it, I've been trying my whole life. I live and breathe cars, guns are a hobby.

You know what, I take that back. My dream car is something that has a gigantic hopper on it for grinding up "smart" cars for fuel..... That'd be my dream car.

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear did a very posititive review of that very car last UK season, he loved it. I've seen a couple of those around town, they're wicked.

I love most any European exotic sports cars, coupe or sedan, as well as old-school American muscle cars.

Honestly though, I don't think true automotive nirvana is attainable without one of these:

AC Cobra Superformance MKIII

If it has wheels, then I'll take a 6 wheel Pinzgauer. But my passion is tracked vehicles. This one is mine (photographed in my back yard):
