If I ever get the money, a few friends and I plan to put together a near-exact replica of the Ecto-1A. I doubt I'll ever afford it, though, but that's why it's a "dream car".

I'd also like to have the DeLorean from Back to the Future and the 1960s Batmobile.

In practical terms, if I had to pick one lame-ass real car, I'd go with an early-80s black Camaro with an Iroc-Z engine. It's the car I bought as a teenager but never got to drive, as my father killed it. Still, it sounded like Satan. I generally hate cars, but I wanted to make sweet love to that thing. It was SO f*cking loud.

My brother has a DeLorean. Anyone who wants one of these has to be REALLY willing to put a lot of work into it to keep it running. There's a reason why the company went out of business.

i was fortunate enough to have owned one of my dream cars. An 09 Nissan 350z. i ended up giving it up for a hybrid when my commute was costing me over $400 in gas a month. Now I only live 15 miles away from work so I'm thinking about picking up a 370z. ALso currently looking at a Lotus, which is also on my dream car list.

None of which had anything to do with the quality of the vehicle. Deloreans are a lot of work now because they are almost 30 years old...

I always dream of having a Porsche someday.

Unrealistic Dream?

Realistic Dream...

The CJ7 was the last "real" Jeep. All these chinky Wranglers you see around today are a pale imitation of the real deal. My Dad's got one, but its completely junk. My goal is to rebuild it, but that's a LOT of money that I currently don't have.

My dream car used to be a Dodge Viper, but when I saw the Dodge Charger I fell in love... :tlove:

I already own one of my dream cars, a Nissan Maxima (not a picture of my actual car, but it looks just like this):

I'm also a fan of classic cars such as this one (a 1955 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday):

Hey you should check out Barris Kustom. They made all the cars you list above.

My dream car Ferrari F50 or Porsche 959.

Sword Slicin' Leo 03-10-2010 03:39 PM

Personally mine is the 1964 Cadillac DeVille.... I plan on getting one for my birthday next year

Yeah, Thatcher being one of the biggest followed by coming out in one of the worst recessions and being hyped too much.

Well, she is sort of right. DeLorean's did have shoddy quality, that's why the Quality Assurance Centers were established. Doors were misaligned and wouldn't hit the striker pins properly, sometimes trapping occupants inside the car, the car would overheat due to poor fans and the electrical system is Lucas. Trust me, I love my car as much as the next D owner, but they were plagued by quality issues. On the flip side, the Irish workforce who built the cars had never built automobiles before so there was a learning curve that unfortunately was never given proper time to level out. Later cars have better quality than early cars.

Not the BTTF DeLoreans. Barris's claim of building the movie cars has been perpetuated, mostly by him, for the past two decades but he did NOT build the cars used in BTTF.
