I want to definitely own a Ferrari one day. It is not about being realistic. It's about following a dream.

I realize this thread is a little bit old buut perhaps I can breathe some life back into it ^^ Realistically, I'd like to own a 2014 350 Dodge Challenger. My dream car however, is the 2015 SRT Hellcat version.

Good call, plan for it to happen and it will.

Perhaps a Golf R or another Q5. The unrealistic list contains a Porsche Macan.   And I know that the price of the new Q5 is getting very close to the Macan but the nearest Porsche dealer is too far away by my standards.

Hmmmm, this is a fun thread.  Right now I'm planning on replacing my current vehicles in 2020 with a new VW Tiguan and a new Ford Fiesta ST.  Paying off the Fiesta in 3 years and getting something RWD, like a Camaro SS, Mustang GT, or Miata.  I'd really like to put some money away over the next 20ish years and get something special as a retirement gift (like a Porsche 911), but life seems to always get in the way of these things.

might be getting a job in Oz in the next few months, and I would have to get a new car to replace my....wonderful 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage hatch. At least until the Tesla arrives.

was thinking this:

Going to replace my old good Mercedes W124. I guess it would be Volkswagen Tiguan this year. Just want to try out SUV once in a while ;)

Just thinking about GS350 for my next family car when I get over the need for an SUV's utility.

I still use the utility part of my MDX as I had to bring a couple of cabinets and four bags of clothing from BIL's place while having first and second row occupied.  Also brought a 2-seat sofa (loveseat) from the said BIL's place last week, with the second row folded.

My desire to sell a few of my current toys to free up some space, time and secure my sanity, and replace with one of these is growing ever strong:





Would need to be a proper SL55 AMG (no base SL500), black, with reasonable kms and with service records....or cheap enough that I could justify putting the work into it to get the service is up to date.

I missed one locally about a month ago that sold for <$20K (just), no records, but otherwise it fit the bill. Pickings are slim though.

Not entirely sure that buying a SL55 AMG is compatible with securing your sanity.  ;D

At least sailor's thread might end up with a companion.  ;D

What toys are you gonna get rid of tho?  :stick:  :o  ;D

If I had to guess I'd think the Escalade, the SS, the 96 Firebird & the Sonoma are staying... oh & the 84 Camaro too. So that leaves the 85 TA, the SLK & the pair of MGB's on the outside looking in  :rofl:

No known engine issues. SBC pump for the braking system is the big issue with these, few grand to get it replace I believe. Typical MB sketchy electronics, but the big things seem to be fairly reliable. It would definitely be a light use fair weather car....so much like the SLK, it would only see a couple thousand kms a year, so I'd hope that would keep the operating costs in check.

SS, the orange MGB, SLK and 85 T/A would be the ones to go...We'll see. Maybe i am just having an off week.
