I've seen a lot of 850's around here. they are niiice. if your serrious about one try www.williamsautoworld.com tell them your looking for one and they can find you one, and will work w/ your budget. but like all car dealers low budget on a nice car = older, not that great of condition

Something that I forgot to mention earlier was a 45' Newell motor coach (around $500,000+), of course, like the Dusie, it would have to be chauffeur driven. Maybe even have a maid/cook on board too - just so Sophia wouldn't have to leave my side...

I thought that you'd have a Justy on your list.

Just adding to my previous list.............

Even though it never went into production way back in '91 I would love to have an Audi Avus Quattro. With looks so different I could only imagine how many stares it would get in a day.

good shot:

Love the high mount mirrors and the flush roof air intake:

Mid mount 6.0L W12(3 lines of 4 cylinders), 60 valves
highly polished aluminum body
500+ bhp at 5800rpm
0-100km/h: 2.9 seconds
Top speed: 212 mp/h
4WD
20 inch rims

Always a dreamer

My automotive fantasy is ALMOST realistic. It involves multiple cars.. There would be two daily drivers--a "summer" car and a "winter" car--the summer car would be an ///M3 and the winter car would be some iteration of the twin-turbo Subaru Legacy station wagon. Yes, a station wagon.

Also, I would begin collecting various $7,000-$10,000 cars--Mid-90's Supra's, Z-Cars, SVX's, 3000GT's, etc. etc.--and fixing them up a bit.. Probably spending somewhere around $5,000 on each one to do some drivetrain rebuild work and a little stylistic improvement. I figure I could have a pretty good garage going after awhile..

Strangely enough, this fantasy works pretty well when centered around women instead of cars..

Yeah, that's what I used to think too, but eventually all that racket coming from the garage gets annoying. All day and night you hear "It's cold", "It's hot", "It's dark", "I'm hungry"....

Uh... "In addition to...?"

Something with a back seat for those rare occasions when we are not travelling with kiddies, midgets or dwarves... Like a '91 420SEL?
&
A real 170+mph Superbike: ZX--12, CBR1100XX Blackbird, Hayabusa or GSXR1000 for going fast! My ZX-11 will have to suffice, I guess...
&
A truck big enough to carry a 13' FSC Camper & pull an 8' trailer: either a new Silverado 2500HD with the diesel & the Allison (for an approximate capitol outlay of $40,000) or my ol' '87 F250 Supercab with a carb 460" & a C6...
&
Oh yeah! Something two-wheeled to get attention on... My '74 750 H2 still makes that great-smelling two-stroke odor and doesn't sound like everything else. Won't go much over 125 anymore.

But I already have those...

My number one vehicular wish? I don't have a convertible... A GEN-U-INE 289 Cobra or a Mazda Miata with a 302 would be nice!

Hold on! There's a guy in town with a '65 F100 Stepside Longbed(!!!!) with a 240"-6, a T-98 (Granny!) & a 9" rear end, radio & heater with 92k miles on it. No power steering or brakes. Needs tires... $1,000 and I can have it. Bet it gets better gas mileage than the 460"!

My wife WOULD kill me!

I did not answer to the question yet so this is my answer:

Fort Knox. With that I think I can buy anything else I want.

There was a story/joke going around where, no matter what the guy wanted, he could reach in his pocket and the exact amount of money he needed would be there. A lot more handy if you asked me...
