Time for some semi-mindless banter. Let's burn some excess brain power talking about cars and motorcycles.

What's your dream car (or motorcycle)? If you had the cash and the time, would you build or buy?

For me, I'd have a BJ43 or BJ45 Troopy done up by Icon or the FJ Company. I love turning wrenches, but I'm happier working on bikes than on cars.

A bit more attainable, I'm jonesing to build out a new HD Low Rider or Sport Glide with performance parts and an FXRT fairing.

When I was in high school one of my girlfriend's dad was a race car driver. He gave her, as a first car, an Austin Princess Vanden Plas. We drove around the streets of Santa Ana (bario) in that car and it was the coolest thing ever. I guess since we are dreaming, I'd like one of those. Hers was the "standard" (lol - nothing standard about it) version. But I think I'd prefer the limousine version.

This is a about the right year of Michelle's car. Mid 60s model so it was old and classic even in the early 80s.

This is the limousine version.

KTM RC8R. Was one of the last (if not the last) production Superbikes with no rider aids and I think it looks amazing.

I'm a sucker for Group B rally as well as classic Italian Sportscars so I'd be a broke man living in poverty but I'd be the happiest man alive. Hell I'm just a sucker for classic cars.

I love cars too much, I don't think I'd ever be able to just choose 'one'. I was going to check off a bucket list of being able to drive a Porche 911 GT3 and McLaren 570s in July but with the 'rona it doesn't look like that will be happening.
 
After years of being brokish and living off the GI bill post Army, I'm pulling in contractor $$$ and finally near finishing my master's. Looking forward to putting something like this together with my boys. A 05-08'ish Corvette C6 track car. I don't need 700hp and everything maxed out, just a brake kit, some rims/suspension work, and exhaust should suit me just fine.

I love my current Raptor. It's got 93K on the clock so I'll probably end up with a '21 or maybe a '22 Raptor. You can't beat this truck.

If I ever get another motorcycle, it'll be one of two extremes--the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure or a Honda Gold Wing. They're polar opposites, but probably the best for their individual purposes.
