I have a 73 Barracuda. It's parked right now because some drunk asshole side-swiped it when it was in front of my house last summer and it looks a bit rough.

Well, there's my dream car...minus the side-swipe. Right now I have an 06 Mustang GT Convertible.

My dream car:
Ligenfelter Blue Devil Corvette (or Stingray, whatever they decide to name it).
I've loved 'Vettes since I was 9 or 10 and they've always been my favorite cars since.
Also other things in my dream garage include:
Tricked out Toyota Supra (loved them ever since my cousin had one in '98, too bad he blew the engine)
Mid-late 90s Mitsubishi Eclipse
Shelby GT500E
Porsche GT2
Aston Martin DB9
(Gah, wish I could remember the name of that limited edition Aston they made a few years ago)
New Acura NSX
BMW M6
Toyota Tundra
Dodge Ram SRT10
Nissan 340ZX
Maybach
Bently Continental GT Sedan
Bently Continental GT Coupe
Rolls Royce Phantom
Bugatti Veyron
Wow, I'm never going to be able to afford any of this, my future drumset is probably going to be as much as a car anyways.

I don't have a car.. motorbike and per pedes only! (Carsharing rules!)
The last car I had was a red 1992 Lada Niva  And that was a car with characters .. all sorts you can imagine.

I am a muscle car freak. Love old Mopar products. Working on a 71 Hemi Cuda. 426 cubic inches of ass kicking power. Also love my Harley Softail custom, yeah yeah it's not a car but I figured i'd throw that in there.

Current work car: 1997 blue Nissan Altima GXE. Great runner, surprisingly roomy, good on gas.
My Weekend car: 2007 Jet-Black Dodge Magnum SRT-8. Yeah, it's got a Hemi in it. My camera is broke, but here's a pic of what it looks like, the pic is a different color, though:
My dream car: After the dissapointing re-release of the Dodge Charger, I was wary when I heard that Dodge was re-releasing the Challenger. (The new Charger looks NOTHING like the classic Mopar) But after seeing the Challenger, that's what I want. (Stump, you'll LOVE this!)
The New Challenger:

I've seen pics of your kit, no way do you get that beast in that very sexy car!
My fave car has been for a long time now a Nissan Skyline, however I HATE the new body shape they've come out with.
Shame I'm stuck with a beat up purple Ford Fiesta which now has no wing mirrors....

Mopar does some pretty sweet upgrades.

I would love to have one of these. My friend said he was fishin in a small lake one time and one of these pulled out on the road that surrounded the lake and just roasted tires, drifting the entire half circle.

LOL! No I don't fit my drums into the Mustang. I fit them into my F-250.
