Given unlimited funds, what car would you get?

For me I鈥檇 try to get something rare that no one else had, or at least not many people have - maybe a red 1979 BMW M1 馃槉

Tesla model-S, I wanna save the 馃寧 with my feet up on the dash 馃き

@Claire2k I mean yeah there's a very clear environmental footprint, but it's about as clean as I can get, I reckon. Well, short of buying a smaller electric car... but I want auto-drive 馃槱
Claire2k22-25, F
I think it鈥檚 definitely a good thing you鈥檝e clearly thought about this area - many people don鈥檛!! Or don鈥檛 want to! I鈥檓 certainly not getting at you at all, I was just curious more than anything about the environmental side of the production of the electrical vehicles - I know mining Lithium is a pretty intensive process and I read one time that the Prius in its whole cycle from getting raw mats out the ground to disposing of its parts once it鈥檚 done with was pretty questionable mainly due to that battery.

However - from a driver point of view - this bit we can control is kinda important isnt it which points towards electric vehicles 馃殫 馃槑@BlueVeins
BlueVeins22-25
@Claire2k I mean yeah, batteries in general are really horrible for the environment. Definitely recycle those fuckers if you can. I tend to think the worst part is the cobalt mining, just from a human rights perspective, but obviously pumping CO2 in the atmosphere has its own human rights problems.

1965 Shelby GT350

Dark Blue with white stripes down the middle.
Claire2k22-25, F
What about the GT500!? 馃槑@samanthaG

@Claire2k
That one too. Matte black.
gdon3941-45, M
Unlimited funds?! I鈥檇 have to have so many cars. 1971 Volvo P1800 E, 69 Charger Rt, 70 Superbee, 76 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, 66 Ford bronco, so and so forth
Claire2k22-25, F
You鈥檇 have a fair collection there!! @gdon39
gdon3941-45, M
@Claire2k what about you? Unlimited funds. Do you have more than one car in mind?
Claire2k22-25, F
I like that rare BMW M1, I鈥檇 perhaps go for a 1953 Mercedes SLR gull wing, or perhaps a mid 50鈥檚 Ferrari 250GT California :) @gdon39
Adogslife61-69, M
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder (Fast, AWD)

You got a cool choice. Maybe an ultima gtr kit car with a Donovan big block chevy aluminum block and dohc heads, an 8-71 old school supercharger.
Or a final gen viper.
Maybe a Ferrari 288 gto.
IwillwaitM
One that came with a driver, like a fully decked out Escalade or Navigator.
BEENOV51-55, M
@Iwillwait good idea
IwillwaitM
@BEENOV I can't be bothered with paying attention to the road.
CestManan46-50, F
Folks, I could not help but notice that no one has said they would buy a Nissan Cube if they had unlimited funds.

I mean okay so they are as boring as getting a pair of socks for christmas but...

Hang on, I will think of a rebuttal.
jackson55M
@CestManan Toyota has the Supra. It鈥檚 a BMW but a nice car.
JustafantasyM
@jackson55 actually a Morgan, In it鈥檚 fastest version anyway. And more interesting than the supra or bmw
Claire2k22-25, F
I was gonna chip in that Toyota have the GT one... the celiac was popular, the supra both old and new versions 馃槉馃憤@CestManan @jackson55
Driver2M
Cobra , not a replica
Driver2M
@Claire2k well 289 is like 4.9L
Driver safety in the 70s on the track or street ?
Claire2k22-25, F
Kinda both - there were lots of safety features brought in in the 70鈥檚 and it definitely had an effect on the quest for all out speed at any cost that you got in the 60鈥檚 :)@Driver2
Driver2M
@Claire2k well the safety features in the 70s kind of killed performance cars
Plus the emissions
SarahAndSamantha46-50, F
i just want the kind that never breaks down
Claire2k22-25, F
I think that normally involves a Toyota doesn鈥檛 it!? 馃槉馃憤@SarahAndSamantha
SarahAndSamantha46-50, F
@Claire2k that'll work
BEENOV51-55, M
@SarahAndSamantha unfortunately that 1 ain't gonna happen
honestly i loooooooove the Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado 1971 t o 1978
Claire2k22-25, F
I couldn鈥檛 agree more - well said!!! 馃憤馃憤馃憤@CestManan
@CestManan to each tehre own aand MOST amateur car shwo respect alll kind of car in my town when we have the show and shien its bring waht ya run type deal the car comunity can accept otehr rides .some ....................not so much
CestManan46-50, F
@Elizabeth28 I mean I have no say in how car shows are run.

It is kind of annoying having to walk through a maze of late model camaros and chargers just to see the real classics or exotic cars.

If I want to see a late model charger, I will just look in the rear view mirror, I am sure one is tailgating at any given moment.

I'll take a 2021 McLaren 720S
BEENOV51-55, M

MtnManJohn56-60, M
A Shelby Cobra
Claire2k22-25, F
How about the Shelby Cobra GT500? Of course your original 63 Cobra 427 wouldn鈥檛 be a bad option 馃槉馃槉馃槉@BEENOV
BEENOV51-55, M
@Claire2k 427 was a bad boy, they named it the widow maker
Claire2k22-25, F
Not surprised considering it had a 7ltr engine, a load of power and noooo safety features!! 馃槵@BEENOV

Interesting- that would certainly be rare! @SW-User
Some electric car
Claire2k22-25, F
Tesla or something a bit different? @mysteryespresso
@Claire2k not sure
SubstantialKick31-35, M
A Lexus ES:


Adogslife61-69, M
@SubstantialKick I have that. The leather is perforated though heated and cooled seats. Once you have cooled seats, you never go back.
CestManan46-50, F
@SubstantialKick As Lexus is built by Toyota, you would get both dependability and luxury. Regular Toyota is not so luxurious.

If I had the money for a luxury car, Lexus would be my choice.
