Lots of great cars but figured I would throw something a little different into the thread:

all, if you quote a post to reply to it, do not include the pictures, it just clutters the thread with duplication.

Something a little different, but I confess I am biased since it was my first vehicle, a 1965 F-100 I bought second hand in 1978 with about 100,000 miles on it. Straight six, three on tree, simple and indestructible. Wish I still had it.

F-100 dash. A model of simplicity. All the gauges you really need.


1965 F-100, 240 cu. in. straight six.
Looking at this and the dash brings back the memories - my first long road trip when I was 21, 1300 + miles from Seattle to Denver in the dead of winter, fully loaded to the gills, mostly interstate cruising at about 55 mph.

I paid $ 1000 for it in 1978. Money well spent...

I included some from each category/type but there is an obvious show of my bias toward massive front mid engines......I probably like the looks as an extension of the cars mechanical attributes. I would have to admit that if it's looks only I prefer late 90s early 2000s flowing/liquid designs best.

Cars are in order of how much of a dream car they are for me if I could just pick one with no strings attached. Yeah I know the LFA should probably be first but I have never driven one....I have driven a TA a few times and nothing has compared since.















This really is a beautiful S-Class.

A lot of people HATE the way the W220 S Class looks, I've never understood that...I think they are great looking. Total garbage, but great looking.

Heres one:

Meh, this Mercedes does nothing for me.







Love the fact that this car has dials for the HVAC. None of the push button which I detest.
