I like Cosmins format, so that's what I'm going to do.

Hauler: Peterbilt 379 with a 48' box trailer and a car trailer.

Like this only in trailer form

Daily: Duh, Alfa! Wouldn't have it any other way. :mrgreen:

Track Star: Ferrari F430 Challenge
Image
In the obligatory red.

Classic: 1971 Camaro SS with 454 and Hurst 4-speed
Image

Expensive: 1962 Ferrari 250 SWB California Spyder
Image
(These can easily go for $11 million, if not more.)

Once I get my house and other stuff (like a job) worked out, I'll be looking at building up my stable of cars. I've already got my 2 Fieros and MR2, I'm looking at adding a Acura NSX and a mkI MR2 s/c to my collection :D. And also probably a Fiat X1/9 project car, possibly 1-2 more Fieros, and a daily driver/beater. They'll all be 4, 5, or 6 speed manual, no slushes :twisted:.

Man. I love the 2.5RS. I'd do bad things to get my hands on one of those cars. Like sleep with 100 fat chicks.

1. The sports car - Lamborghini Diablo - it's the car I dreamed of since I was a kid. Hopefully, one day I'll have enough money to allow myself one. If I'd have to name 3 main goals in my life, having a Diablo in my garage would be one of them.

Image

2. The classic - Porsche 356 Speedster - Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed did a pretty decent job in making me love Porsches, and I think that the 356 is an awesome classic car.

Image

3. The luxury - Rolls Royce Phantom - cuz' sometimes the appropriate style is classy, not sporty. And if we're going classy, why not all the way? :)

Image

4. The jeep - Sufa (an Israeli off-road vehicle) - for great performance off-road.

Image

5. The all-around car - I don't need one, with all the above parking at home :)

P.S.: I do need a rally car for Dakar. I wouldn't want to take the jeep, I prefer something like the 206, Focus, or Impreza. Haven't made up my mind yet, though.

Don't worry, Alfa, we're the mature folks on the interwebz. We don't kill others for having a different opinion :lol: .
