Runs on water; has an annihilation beam to take out any obstacles in front of me and will travel on the elevated express lane that should be built on top of every major highway.

I dream of a lot of cars. The short list is-

Porsche 356 Outlaw

MG TD

Manx Dune Buggy

Alfa Romeo GTV

I guess I'm not playing this right, because these cars are kinda cheap (well, depends on how the Outlaw is sorted)--

For that ridiculous no-way-it's-gonna-happen car--

550 Spyder

alternate- Porsche 904

Ferrari 250 GTO

Talbot Lago

Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic

Lamborghini Islero

Edit: Or a Tesla. I'd be happy with a Tesla.

I win prediction because I predicted the upgrade from Chinook to Mi-26 to V-12. Next it is going to be the April fools' joke "Hotelicopter" and then go on to some whacky NS designs.

That sound you hear? It's not the engine, that's silent. It's the sound of your dream money being burned by the car. Seriously the thing should just run on dollar bills, not electricity.

Keeps burning because you have to replace the batteries pretty often, so no, I think I win this one :P

Tesla Motors stated in February 2009 that the current replacement cost of the ESS is slightly under USD$36,000, with an expected life span of 7 years/100,000 mi (160,000 km), and began offering owners an option to pre-purchase a battery replacement for USD$12,000 today with the replacement to be delivered after seven years.

No, I know you lose.

Cause you know, when you buy a $110k limited edition sports car, what you're really thinking is, "Man, am I saving money."

It's a fucking sports car. Faster than an Elise (at least that's what the company rep at the showroom enthused when we were filming a documentary...) oh that happens to also run on electricity with a 200+mile range. No one is pitching the over $100k Tesla Sportster as an economy car. Hell, they're not even pitching the Model S as that. The success of these models are supposed to lead to a point where they can build on. Or make way for the Nissan Leaf, if that has a respectable range.
