What car would you own with money beng no object

[land sea air]

I have lists for this sort of thing, the first car I would go out and buy would be either a new California, a new ZR1, or the beautiful GNX they have at a local exotic dealer. If money were no object it would be more than one car though

 

[eight6er]

Assuming I couldn't just take whatever is the most expensive car is and sell it to buy a load of cars I actually want. I would have an AE86 levin GT apex hatch with all sorts of goodies on it most importantly ITB's

 

[KobayashiFan]

In my case I should probably add 'when I get a driving licence', to the money no object thing...

You'd probably expect me to choose a modern and glamorous car like a Ferrari 458 Italia or its arch rival, the McLaren MP4-12C. However, I'd actually have a DeLorean DMC-12. Although I'm aware it was never actually a fast car, for me its the most awesome car of all time. Mainly because it appeared in my favourite film ever, 'Back to the Future'. In my opinion, its timeless. It still looks like its from another planet with its gullwing doors, and its brushed stainless steel bodywork...

What?

So instead of this:

You want this:

I am pretty sure he means something like this:

What's the difference?

Noice!

Ferrari Dayton Spyder in this light blue colour

Or

Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Touring

I am pretty sure he means something like this:

That's my car!!!

More importantly an engine swap.

And even then it would be slow, have a live rear axle, and want to fall apart at any given moment. How do I know these things? Working with a plethora of 80's Toyota joy.

I have a few cars already, largely with different jobs but all-rounders. If I kept these, my MNO car would simply be a Ford RS200 Evolution.

If, however, I was replacing everything with a single car it'd have to be an all-rounder with room for kids, dogs, stuff and that I could take to the supermarket or DIY store and park (and find still there when I got back). And, because we already have a car that does this perfectly, without complaint, I'd want the same car but better - and because I'm a colossal child, it'd need a V8.

So. Alpina B10 V8 E39 Touring S it is then.

I cannot seem to be able to decide between these four






But, considering where I'm from, this would be the most practical thing to own (offtopic)

Fixed it for you, and yes.

I have owned 3 of them before and no I don't need to change the engine. After owning much faster and more powerful cars I would still have one. Power and technology is not proportional to fun, and I never had any problems with mine falling apart.

 

[motortrend]

I'd daily drive one of these with money being no object:

 

[alex10798]

...yep. That'll do.

Like, this kinda engine swap?

Although...what you really get then is this.

Which, I'm certain, appeals to both of you less.

EDITKENISISALPHA:

If I had to choose just one...and yes, over every single supercar out there...I'd also choose an old '80s corolla.

Also with a 4A-GE

But with an entirely different badge. And left entirely stock, too.

Why? To annoy the hell out of you people. and, real Twin Cams are ridiculously rare, one-year specials. Some collector value, perhaps, in the future.

I don't even know what to say to that.

What is that? I might make my way to the cars you never knew existed thread It looks like a corolla only for the front and chevy badge.

That was a half joke. I like those (takes cover)
but I'll actually take a R8 V10.

Make it road legal? Hell no. With all the cash I'd simply change the law and re-tarmac the planet.​

'88 Chevrolet Nova Twin Cam. AE82 (FWD) Chassis. Basically the precursor to the Geo/Chevrolet Prizm, which was ALSO a Corolla. I've owned TWO standard-grade Novas, one of which I did for four years, and just sold it this week. I'd been planning of giving it to my youngest brother, but...the transmission brokeded. Thankfully, it's gone on to someone with greater mechanical capability than I.

Pretty much this.

it's a Nova. GM split a plant with toyota (which is where half of Geo's come from), and based a revised Nova badged car on the Corolla/Sprinter twins. this one happens to be a "eurosport" package, too

Out of curiosity, to the people wanting old 80s cars or modern econoboxes, what's stopping you from working a few extra hours and cruising the classified ads in the newspaper? These aren't really traditional "money is no object" cars

in most places in the US, they literally no longer exist. most vehicles from after the Muscle car era have been crushed or otherwise recycled, and what's left is in no shape to be driven anymore. remember the governments "cash for clunkers"? well, that's what happened to most remaining 80's and 90's vehicles. they're worth more for the value of the metals used in them than anything else.

 

[Jondot]

That'll do nicely, thanks.
