    If you had the means, what cars would you collect?

    What cars would you collect if you had the means, time, and space for them? We all have dream cars. Lets hear what yours are! Make sure to include pictures!

    I'll add mine after you guys get the ball rolling.

    Really, nobody wants to share their dream vehicle(s)?

    Alright, I'll start then.

    This one has been on my list for YEARS. The timeless Nissan 280Z. Back nearly a decade ago my cousin and I almost went in on a deal to buy 3 of them from a local dealer, but it fell through... Anyway, here is an example picture. Such a pretty car. Also incredibly easy to put in nearly any engine package you'd like...





    The next one is actually a vehicle I currently own and am restoring... and I use that term very loosely. I've owned it a few years now and it still isn't running. Its waiting for me to have time to work on it. It is a 1951 Ford F1 pickup. Beautiful body lines that you just do not see anymore. Here are some pictures from when I went over to my buddies to look at it before purchasing. Thankfully, its sitting tucked away in my garage where the elements aren't getting to it.

    I'd love to have each and every generation of the Micra in road-worthy condition.

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

    I owned a '74 260Z. I loved it although it almost killed me twice. I have lately become a fan of the angles on the 280zx's. That being said, I'd love to own some fox body Mustangs. 5.0 and 5 spds. 4 seats is so much easier to justify!

    If I had the means...... one of everything!!!

    A 1960's Fiat 500 or the good old classic Mini Cooper would make me very happy.

    If I were to get something new, Morgan Aero 8. Lets travel in style!

    Targa top NSX with but with pop up headlights and the revised 3.2L DOHC V6 & 6MT that the 1997 revision got, possibly super charged..





    Used to be an attainable goal a decade ago when I first started wanting one (maybe even 5 years ago)..


    Or a 1st gen Honda Civic restomod with a stock K20A dropped in.

    A couple of weeks ago when I was driving, I seen one of those Civic Wagons. It looked like total crap but it was so cool to seen one. I haven't seen one in 15 years.

    They are few and far between! There's a handful of beat up 4th gen wagons up here (i'd also love to build a 4wd subie killer out of one of those) and ONE ultra clean first gen in grey that some old guy putts around in. If I had the spare cash I'd show up at his door and offer to buy it off him. They go for like 15-30k online for ones in mint condition now.

    I got lucky and picked up a pretty decent 91 civic wagon a couple days ago.
