Nothing too wild for me. An SC430 with a tighten up chassis and suspension and most important of all with an IS-F engine and trans.

The cars my wife and I would like to have are the Bentley GTC, Aston Martin Vantage Roadster and Land Rover Range Rover. I have a feeling our next vehicle will be an SUV. The Lexus GX460 or our first choice, Land Rover Range Rover if we are doing well enough.

2000GT, never going to happen, but it's a dream, right?

Ive seen a couple 2000GT's for-sale within the past year. They were asking $400-450k.

Audi's look pretty good (A7), I think just like Lexos they are a nice change from the common MBZ and BMWs out there.

my next "attainable" dream car is this...

always wanted one...now the 2006/2007's are getting into the $60-$70k range. I figure straight line depreciation puts me about two more years out from getting one in the high $30k's to $40k range which is what I am comfortable spending on one.

This is the car that I would be willing to trade in a Kidney.

Not exactly my choice of colors, but I'd take it.

After giving it some thought, I actually believe I already own my dream car.
I honestly can't think of anything I would give this up for.

norman-thanks a lot! I just drewled all over my keyboard and now it doesn't work!!! LOL

I would love an old XK...or even the new 2007+ XKR's. Beautiful cars! I like the way the aston favors or visa-versa the XK's. I wouldn't mind getting a XKR and doing some mods, wheels, etc and making it a little meaner and more exotic looking in lieu of the aston...might be better dependability-wise.

Is your XK fast?
