I read about it in Wired last year, and saw one in action on, of all places, Xbox Live's "Major's Minute". Sweet, sweet ride, 0-60mph in 3.9s, looks hot enough to melt the pavement while standing still, and it's 100% electric. (And, alas, $100,000... so it's going to remain a dream, I think.) -- Steve |

Not only that, but there are few Gearheads on this site as well... Personally, I drive a 1992 Cadillac DeVille with a 4.9 liter Pushrod V-8. I just put a new deck in and she REALLY thumps now. Just for the hell of it, my friend and I had a race from a rolling start. (He has a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse, so I figured I would give him that advantage.) I was a car length ahead of him by the time he was maxing out his second gear. I have personally reaffirmed my belief that there is no replacement for displacement. I am hoping to fix it up and make it a show car. My girlfriend is a little hung up on the fact that I want to paint it Money Green Metal-flake. I think it will look incredible, but she isn't so sure... My dream cars: 2003 Lotus Esprit
That is awesome. I used to want one of those as well... Then I went from Awesomeness to Speed as my main focus, so that dream kind of died... If you can get one, do it, just to make guys like me jealous. |

Not a BTR 80, but there is a warehouse about 20 miles from me that sells old Chieftain tanks, it's got a couple of VAB's and other APC's & armoured cars too. However, sadly it's not very practical for my budget, or the local roads. EDIT: The idea was originally to have it fitted for quickly bolting on a speaker rig, so that the police have a rather hard time shutting things down at raves. Unfortunately, APC's being rather conspicuous vehicles I think I would become public enemy number 1 very quickly. |

Hi
Just thought i would start a thread for any petrol heads or car junkies here. So what car(s) do you currently own (if any) and what would be your dream ride. Try to stick to real life vehicles, i dont mind if its a real vehicle with mods but no Nissan Micras with jet engines please.
I currently drive a 1992 2.0l mercedes 190e (with mods) which is pretty amazing for how cheap they are. But my dream car would be a 1957 Chevy with a full blown big block V8 as i just love that car to bits.
So whats yours?
