“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.

If I could have any car I wanted, I’d get [this car](http://sacketmansion.com/delorean/page4.html). Riced out with the hovercar mods, of course.

Any TVR really, but especially the [T440R](http://www.pistonheads.com/tvr/index.asp?storyId=5688) (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.

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.
