if you could own one car

Ok here's a question for everyone. If you could only one car the rest of you life and nothing would ever wear out on it. What would it be? It can be any year and make, and you can mod it all you want.
I would take a forester and drop a modded 2.2T in it. Forester = excellent crashorthiness, lots of cargo room, and best of all super sleeper

2005 Legacy GT wagon (with 2.5t and 5spd)

or

2004 JDM Legacy STi wagon

The question should be one car as it came from the factory, not some frankenstien because the list gets too long.

Id personally take a F650 supercruiser with pickup truck style bed.

Edit: I may want to change my choice to a Mil-Spec hummer.

Bimmer 5 series wagon

ciper · Post by **ciper** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 1:49 am

Not an M5?

Or if that why settle for a 5 series when you could have a 1996 855CS V12 6 speed?!

gas mileage, utility, I'd be very happy with a BMW 5 series. they dont make anything above 5 in a wagon.

Yukonart · Post by **Yukonart** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 2:08 am

Hmmmm. . . now that I think about it. . . I would have to seriously consider a Hummer H1 wagon. If mileage were not really an issue (those diesels aren't THAT bad anyway) I'd sport one in a heartbeat. There are countless mods available for them now, and they can go literally anywhere offroad.

Nice thing is, this is the real world, and we're allowed to have more than one vehicle (one for utility and one for speed) . . . . but that also means we're constrained by our own finances, too.

So far my vehicle choice would run through and outpower all the listed models. That means Im better

The H1 is a good choice, good ground clearance and ultimate AWD system!

Huh. I kinda think I'd want a 94 Legacy RS.

Art - The H1 can go pretty much anywhere off-road, but you'd have trouble on some roads.

ROFL!!!! OMG, I started craking up when I read that Ciper!!!

Totally guys. . . I've seen the H1 in action, first-hand, and they truly ARE a beast. And yes. . .there are MANY roads I would find way too narrow to drive an H1 on. . . and even more parking lots I would avoid as well.

"Wow, what kind of mileage does it get?"

"One highway, zero city."

The multifuel HMMWV motor is pretty cool... It's designed to run on anything remotely combustible.

Didnt know they had one! Someone I know has a generator that was like that. Really popular before the Y2k thing. You could add stuff to the tank like rubbing alcohol, cooking oil, and even used motor oil! Anything that would go through the filter.

porsche 959 all the way.

2.9 boxer 6 twin turbo, AWD, adjustable suspension, 450 hp, 6.6:1 weight:hp ratio. What else could you ask for?

import_freak · Post by **import_freak** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 5:05 am

Im just glad no ones said a hummer H2. If you ask me those things are hairy butt ugly. Now that i think of it though a VW phaeton would be pretty cool.

did you mean 6.6 weight : 1 hp? cause assuming it weighs 2977lbs, and you get 6.6hp for every 1lb...19648hp...man i'd love that car

Skyline GTR R34 V-Spec II (yes, i would like to be a ricer)

I'd build a badass prerunner type truck, maybe a 1st gen 4runner. destroked 400 sbc maybe with a turbo, 2 feet of a-arm travel with coilovers, 35" tires, full cage, nice stereo.
from the factory Id take a nissan stagea, basically a skyline wagon.

To me this is almost an impossible choice. One woman, OK, but one car?!

If I have to - Lotus Elise. No rust worries alloy chassis with fiberglass body, light weight, great mileage, fast, great handling, easy on brakes and tires, maneuverable, reliable Toyota running gear, no driver aid crap, and chicks think its cute.

If I can pick a modified car, I'll pick my Legacy circa 3 yrs from now.

LANCIA DELTA S4 ABARTH

this engine had a capacity of 1759cc, used an alloy cylinder head and cylinder block, had four valves per cylinder, twin overhead camshafts, fuel injection (with two injectors per cylinder) and most interestingly both a turbocharger and a supercharger with twin air-to-air intercoolers. a power of 480bhp was produced at 8400rpm. thats a italian rally car, for me one crazy street killer any one whant to race.

R32 GT-R. gunmetal grey. no worries.
Saw one bout an hour ago. came out of macca's and hung it out for about 100 metres up the road. i shit you not. even dropped my 40c cone. finest peice of driving i have seen on public roads

stupid but fine.
wanted one for ages. spose the bloke was just givin me a little reminder why.
my 2 cents...

yeh i know, i'm releasing the ricer within me.

Noodles · Post by **Noodles** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 12:30 pm

either that or a highly modded XR6 Turbo. (Aussie car. Ford, but hey... check this link http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/ne ... s/fpv1.JPG )
think 240kW atf, bog standard. 300kW+ atw (AT THE WHEELS goddamn it!) modded versions have already started appearing here and there. 4-litre straight 6 with a garret T28 turbo and fmic.

NuwanD · Post by **NuwanD** » Wed Mar 10, 2004 6:33 pm

I was going to say the porsche 959 as well but the idea of eventually turning that into a smoldering pile of aluminum due to rallying makes me think a group b rally car would be better for me
