Lamborghini Countach. The LP500S model by preference.

Yep and for the cheapo's you don't really need shoes.

Nothing but the best.

Toyota Hilux, one of the new ones.

Not because of Top Gear, but because of one of the dudes at the archaeological excavation I was on earlier this summer had one, and it was one of the most bad-ass vehicles ever.

Riding in the back of it in order to do some experimental archaeology in a field of alpacas was pretty cool. We even got arrows shot at us

Well, near us. But that ruins a good story.

Most of you have one.

I'm talking about your "dream car/bike/etc."

If you could have any vehicle that could be made with modern (or older) technology, what would you have?

I assume that tracked vehicles would be for another thread, so it would be this one

possibily painted Ferrari red. And it's environment-friendly, as it's rated Euro 4.

Seriously, I'd go for a VW Touran, but with a hybrid multifuel turbine-electric motor.

One of these, with a racing hub and some fancier brakes.

I really like vintage Indian Motorcycles. And sorry for the half nude lady. It is my first on Nationstates but I really also like half nude ladies.

I don't know. I keep getting distracted when I near the end of the word.

As do I. The seat makes it look like the woman there is packing heat. (If you know what I mean.)

Obviously, she is a very interesting woman.

Maybe. I don't like to judge a book by the cover. She may be a borefest.

The Gorillaz Feel good inc.flying windmill island.

That or something with mechanical spider legs.

I already have my dream vehicle.

It's a bicycle.

by **Sibirsky** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 9:21 am

There are so many, how do I pick just one? If I must pick one, I would go with a MB S65. Luxurious, seats 5 comfortably, got a big enough trunk, and is damn quick and powerful.

Well... Cars:

Realistic: Just get what I have running.

Reasonable: There's only one thing that can be better...

Unrealistic: The best car made to day is, I believe, the McLaren F1.

Aircraft:
I don't know my way around them well enough to pick a model of choice, but I would definitely want one at some point. One of the land-anywhere, takeoff-anywhere propeller machines with a piston or turboprop engine.

Boats:
A 44' Magnum: http://www.magnummarine.com/products/44/44_fr.html
Less unrealistically, a Donzi or Baja, they go pretty cheap used, like this: http://www.4yachting.com/yacht_info.php?yid=9989

Motorcycles? What motorcycle? I can't see one.

Oh... wait... maybe...

My dream vehicle would get 50+ mpg and have enough kick to get me into and out of spots on the freeway. I'm thinking some variant of the VW Golf/New Rabbit, without the annoying repair issues (running lights being the same as headlights, they get replaced once a season, and the lug wrench is specialized enough that you have to make sure any tire store isn't too small to have one).

I don't need muscle or overwhelming style. Just a hatchback that'll carry four and enough camping stuff to make a trip possible.

1970 Mustang GT500, cherry red and of course stick.

A gold-plated Lambo refitted with jet engines, of course.

They realized in the early 1990s that the only thing more dangerous than people driving is people driving at high speed in three dimensions. The real flaw with flying vehicles for everyone is the quality of everyone. Once we figure out how to make them pilot themselves then we're good.
