My dream car would be a Chevy C8 Corvette with the Z51 performance package, preferably in matte dark blue with black trident spoke wheels and deep red calipers.
Maybe with some tint on the windows too; I still gotta think about that particular detail.

Chartreuse is my favorite color.

I wanna drive some Volkswagen van, I like vans.
I will no longer be using NS Stats (as I developed my own stats outside of NS) and I will no longer be answering NS Issues, all current NS Policies are canon

There's a guy with a green Huracan that lives somewhere around me.

I always speed past him, trying to goad him into flooring it, but he knows that he's got nothing to prove.

It's bright green with glints of orange/yellow. I think it's been wrapped.

As long as it's a later model. I owned a 1964 with the 1200 CC engine, and it had trouble getting out of its own way. I was able to get it up to 58mph once, on a downhill run.

Long time ago when I had my ratty Porsche 914 I spotted an F40 in the distance. I goosed it to try and catch up with it, but since I had the kind of exhaust on my car a teenager would buy (because I was a teenager) I made a lot of racket and the F40 shot into the distance leaving a little mustache curl of dust in its wake.

Veronica the Bus is a 1967 SO-42 Westie. It came as a 12 volt and sports the 1600 (well, I've had it a while. This is like my third engine.) Yeah, it's 0-60 in maybe, but it's so fun to just tool around in and it makes friends everywhere it goes.

Unless you're behind me going uphill.

Don't police other people's dream cars. You don't have to drive them. That's why they make more than one type of car.

While I would say the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 is my favourite car, in terms of a car I would feel able to use more frequently, and in terms of more functions, it would most likely be one of these- a Maserati Sebring:

Back in the 90s I ran across someone selling a 60s 3500GT for $8000. It had an engine swap, which is unfortunate, but putting the regular engine back in wouldn't be that hard, and with them being now $150,000 cars...it would have been a better return on investment than college has been...

...if I could bring myself to part with it.
