What was your dream car as a kid... Driver 03/09/2018 (Fri) 22:37:44 Id: 5a4e5f No. 15452
…and at what age did you realize you will never own it? Pics very much related. NFS3 on the PS1 was my first game ever. It might have single-handedly made me into a car guy. And of course that yellow Diablo SV was always on my mind for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately with car prices skyrocketing <and the fact that I am a total fucking loser I realized that I'll never get the chance to have my very own SV. At this point I'm lucky na MR2s are relatively cheap, for now.

>>16301 If not for my complete distrust in people I might get one, but I'm not ready to rebuild an engine since some fuck nut didn't understand how to take care of a rotary engine.
When I was little, I wanted a 1982 Porsche 911 in dark gray. As a teenager, I liked the Murcielago, but so did every other teenager on the planet. I ended up getting an 82 Porsche as an adult, though it's a 924. Even better than the 911, it has pop-ups.
Can we see it?

>>16548 This probably isn't the thread for sharing our shitboxes, so I'll spoiler. The paint code is actually for a dark gray with metal flake, but the previous owner did a shit job painting it red with a rattle can. Oversprayed absolutely everywhere. Want to take it back to factory color.

>>16240 Shit's ridiculous As for me, idk, I never really had a dream car for some reason, can't even find myself to list favorites because I like many cars based on their quirks and so on. Probably because I got into cars when I was already old and bitter. But the closest I guess would right now probably be the Skoda Fabia R5. I've wanted Skoda to finally splurge a bit and make a sports car for years but they've only made balls deep scaffolding racers and refuse to make street sports cars. Recently they announced they'd make a limited production Fabia R5 for the road but it ended up just being a regular Fabia with green wheels. What a letdown.
>>16587 Škoda brand is not supposed to associate itself with anthing remotely fast, there is a reason why they outsell any VW on the market. They are the dailiest daily cars you can have. And damn, they are great for that. Also they look less terrible than VW.

>>16589 They've improved a lot since VW acquired them. And they do have potential for speed, see the 130RS and the "Ferat" Prototype. I know Skoda is supposed to be the boring commute brand but they are wasted potential. But I guess that comes with being an affordable car maker in the 2010s in Central Europe.

>>16592 >Ferat Say, ain't that the "Vampire Car" that feeds on the blood on the driver? >>16608 Fuck you, she's hot. Here, since you care so much, have another from my collection.
>>16613 Exactly that one. Also known as 110 Super Sport. Apparently at the time could hit over 200 km/h.
>>16613 just realized I meant blood *of the driver, but it's not that big of a typo. >>16615 The Ferat does remind one a lot of the Delorean, though it preceded even the original Italdesign concept of that by 5 years and the similarities are most likely coincidental given that many companies were experimenting with wedge-shaped designs for their concept cars during the 70s. That said, it's almost jaw-dropping how far ahead of its time the Ferat was in terms of styling; they could've sold that as a brand new car (with a necessarily adjusted rear-end and passenger entry system) a full 10 years later and nobody would've batted an eyelid. The fact it came from a Skoda that was still very much wrapped tightly around the claws of communism makes it all the more impressive.
>>16622 That's how it usually goes, if a car is too forward thinking it's usually a failure. Maybe except the Renault 5.

>>16662 I prefer the longtail. It sticks better to the road.
Played a lot of Test Drive 6 when I was a kid then later played NFS Most Wanted, and I always went for the Dodge Viper and painted it a dark blue with double white stripes. I don't think I'll ever own one, but what I can say is that I will always love this 2000 Camaro Z28 with navy blue paint that once belonged to my mother. It's been with us ever since she bought it factory new from a dealer way back when, and only recently I can say it's mine. I'll take care of this car, even if it kills me.

>>16722 And here's a picture of one with the same paint color
>>16723 Those were 5 speeds right?
>>16725 they came in 4 auto, 5 and 6 manual depending on engine choice, the usual GM offerings. Luckily, they're so similar to the 3rd gen F-bodies that the t-56 swaps over/parts can be found with ease for some extra highway mileage plus an utterly bullet proof and simple transmission. If you have a 4th gen with a t-56, hold onto that baby, because a literal monkey could fix that tranny up, and the LS1 or 1st gen SBC are both bullet proof engines with excessive aftermarket. The car will rattle apart well before the drivetrain breaks, except maybe the rear end if you enjoy burnouts.
Lotus Esprit 8 Am 32 now and own one though so jokes on me
>>18047 Which gen?

I don't even remember. Maybe the 300ZX was my first when really young. It's still a nice looking car to me but not one I really want.
>>18059 The 300ZX Twin Turbo was also my dream car as a younger anon. I got too tall to fit in one though.

>>18101 The front looks so much better that way than with the GTO. People like to re-brand them and the Chevy SS to look like the Holden's
