[/font][indent][font="Calibri"][b]What to bring up.[/b][/font]
[font="Calibri"][list][*][u]The car, or cars, that make you drool:[/u] Sport cars, muscle cars, old cars, concept cars, trucks, bikes, choppers, crotch rockets; if it has wheels and doesn't fly it's fair game. I want to know what you could stick in your garage that would let you wake up every morning, walk down to it and giggle because you own it.[*][u]Pictures of said car(s):[/u] Show off them chassis. Please, though, be conscious of fellow browsers and link to those delicious, pornographically-large pinups you find.[*][u]Discussion of various cars and/or tastes:[/u] You got an opinion about a make or model or year, lay it on us. This is a thread for car-o-philes, so just cut loose.[/list][/font][/indent]
[indent][font="Calibri"][b]What [color="#ff0000"]not[/color] to bring up.[/b][/font]
[font="Calibri"][list][*][u]Responsible selections:[/u] If your 'fantasy' could in any way be summarised by the phrase "This car is my dream car because it is a reliable, safe, economically-conscious, environmentally-friendly, financially-responsible vehicle and I really don't need anything else," then get the hell out. This is a thread about your fantasy, not your practicality.[*][u]The El Camino or the Pinto:[/u] I think this goes without saying. But in case some troll out there decided to pretend like he thought he was funny, I'll go ahead and say it.[/list][/font][/indent][font="Calibri"]
So let's kick this thing off.
And because we're in the realm of the utter make-believe right now, my first entry will be the Aston Martin [url="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z158/Allamorph/Misc/photos/DBSVolante.jpg"]DBS Volante[/url]. I first discovered the Aston Martin in some Bond-related thing or otherâ??probably a movie although I have a distinct recollection of something selectableâ??when they were still using the Vanquish as their flagship . . . um, car. So to speak. (Flagcar?) I rediscovered them at some point last fall, I believe, when I was rummaging around for high-brow car makes for a game of [color="#8b0000"]Raiha's[/color] that I'd joined, and although I did use it for the character at first, the more I looked at it the more I decided that I would very much like to own it. The only downside about it, I think, is that I can't shake the thought that it bears a slight and odd resemblance to the Chrysler Sebring, which is a touch depressing. However, it's still gorgeously sleek, and it's a freaking Aston Martin, so what are you going to do?
My other thought, and one which I have shared probably several times before, is pretty specific. It's an American muscle car, the [url="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z158/Allamorph/Misc/photos/70stingray.jpg"]1970 Corvette Stingray[/url]. (Well. To be honest, the year is actually more like 1968-1971. I was going to just up and say 1971 but the best photo which I could find and which was labeled properly said 1970 so whatever.) This car is, to me, the epitome of voluptuous body design. I actually saw it first in the (super-fun) Nintendo 64 game Vigilante 8, under the label of Manta for legal issues and humor (they renamed the Gremlin to Leprechaun), and thought it was a made-up body design until I saw one driving around one day. It is without exception and without fail the only car that can make me turn my head [i]and[/i] utter "...nnnh," as it drives by.
Hit me up.
