What was your childhood dream car?

[ELVA164]

Jaguar XKSS by a mile or more. Still love it, but gained more dream cars as my knowledge increased. Knowledge also tainted my image of a lot of them...

I've always had a thing for the 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300CD Turbo diesel coupe. For my 11th birthday, my Dad wrapped up one of their tan colored hub caps and gave it to me as a present. He also placed it with a note saying to work hard and one day the rest of the car will present itself. I still have that hubcap today hanging in my garage! As for a first BMW love...it was an E21 320i in INKA orange. My next door neighbor's son had one. I remember being caught a few times looking inside. It was always worth the "hey...get away from the car" just to be near that sexy beast!

ITT we tell how old everyone is.



The first automotive memory I have is seeing a purple Lamborghini Diablo roadster on the cover of Road&Track at my grandparents house and telling my grandma that I was going to buy it when I grew up. Then I played Gran Turismo 2 at my friends house and found a Lotus Esprit and thought it was the perfect looking car. That game really introduced me to how many different car companies there were that you never hear of and I've been hooked since.

I remember this car making an impression as well.

Still want:

Evo X
1M, E92 M3, E36 M3, E30 M3

A man can only dream.. Sigh -.-

[BlackbirdM3]

Up till I saw my first e30 M3, a Jaguar E-type was the winner, followed by an Alfa Romeo GTV following my seeing the car that would eventually become mine. The Ferrari F40 was kinda cool but it didn't really grow on me till more recently.

[rturbo 930]

240z (parents have a 280z)
68 Charger (dad has one)
GTO (grandparents had one)
various Porsches - (my friends dad had both a 964 and 996 when I was a kid)
Dodge Vipers and Aston Martins
And lastly, an E39. At the time I only knew it was a bmw, but one of my grandparent's friends had one and I fuckin loved it. I can remember telling my grandparents to get a BMW when they traded in their station wagon haha.

[Balleristic31]

As a kid I wanted a silver corvette with ghost flames!

Badass ;)

[ColdAccord]

240z
Triumph Spirfire w/hardtop, which led to:
Austin Healy 100-6 or 3000
Mercedes 300SL "Gullwing"
GT40
427 Cobra

I really wanted a Miura when I was really little but forgot about it until recently. In similar fashion I also wanted a lotus europa

[AndrewBird]

As a young kid, Corvettes. Later years, DB5, mostly due to James bond. I still lust over that car.

[F34R]

I had two, one was a Porsche 930 slant nose. I drove and almost bought when I was 18. I ended up buying a 1984 635 because I could not afford the insurance being that I was under 25.
Second is a 1965 GTO with the 400cc in block. I grew up around muscle cars from my father and uncle. So one day I will get one.
