If you could have any car in the world, what would it be?
“Take a look at me now throwing money around
I’m paying somebody to drive me downtown
Got a Mercedes Benz with a TV and bar
And God I wish I was driving my old yellow car”
From “Old Yellow Car”, by Dan Seales
Well, you asked!
This past summer, Ford had a concept vehicle with the “Tonka” label on it.
awwwwww yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhh
I’d love a Porshe 911 or some other small fast car, but I’m such a big fella that have a hard time fitting in them.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
or
A Winnebago; converted into a dragster.
or
A Reliant Robin; converted into a rally car.
If I could have any car I wanted, I’d get this car. Riced out with the hovercar mods, of course.
70’s Chevy Nova, rebuilt
But this vehicle is pretty nice too.
Any TVR really, but especially the T440R (they picked the wrong colour for it IMHO), you have to see it in the flesh to really appreciate it though.
I’d get a 2002 Ford Thunderbird, convertible, cherry red.
Don’t look at me like that!
Testosterone, my left foot!
I want a 1967 Charger, with dual carburators. Something about that rumble, y’know.
Dude. Gotta have it!
Actually, even better! I’d just have to get it repainted in camoflage.
1967 GTO Convertible
Black with maroon interior
I used to fantasize about getting an old Yugo, or some similar POS, so I could:
(1) Throw away everything but the body;
(2) Have someone build me a roller frame to drop said POS body over; and
(3) Configure the resulting abomination with a Mazda 13B rotary in a mid-engine, rear-drive layout.
Of course, it would probably have been impossible to license any such … vehicle. Hell, it might have been physically impossible to even build the thing and make it driveable. In any case, I never had either the time or the money to pursue it.
The idea still appeals to my sense of humor, though.
