If you could only have one car...

[the Teuton]

That thing is fucking hideous.

Hence why it needs to be in one color, er, shade of darkness.

You're given the shot at one car.  What do you choose?

A disastrous station wagon Sebring in a hideous two-tone color.

You're misinterpreting the situation.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

ZR1 Vette. My SO can buy a car that handles snow a lil better. 

[J86]

If it is just me, Audi S4 Avant.

If it is me + a wife (now THERE is a terrifying thought), then probably a RR for her, and something older and awesome for me.

[MaxPower]

For me, probably a 4Runner, around an '04 maybe.  Its a good combination of size and utility and with the family and horses I'm gonna need something with utility.  Otherwise I'd go for a sporty wagon.

Yeah, I'm banking on contracting out/renting for the boat hauling

yeah, and hey, you'll have a boat so big you need a tractor trailer rig to haul it, right?

A Roller can tow, can't it?

Honda Accord LX 6(5?)M

or

Mazda 3i Touring 5M

[sportyaccordy]

If my girl could have a regular car, without a doubt it would be a 993 or 996 Turbo

Blazing performance, relatively high practicality + reliability, timeless looks...

These cars will probably look just as good in 70 years as they do today. That's my choice and I'm sticking with it

[MrH]

Jeebus, most of you guys are boring.

[Rich]

Jeebus, most of you guys are boring.

Well, if only 1 car, I'm not going to try and afford to keep a 996 running for 30k miles a year for 50 more years and stuff family/friends into it.  Or am I going to try and use a Miata as an only car after I get a house.

[The Pirate]

Porsche 911 Turbo (993)

I'mma interrupt you, but I'mma let you finish. Pirate had one of the better picks in this thread of all time! All time!

Not having a car payment you're entire life can provide a whole lot of maintenance.

PWNED 

[Tave]

Easy:

My toughest choice would be between old v new and large box v long bed.

I think I'd probably go with a new Taco, large box, but I might go old/large box too.

Jeebus, most of you guys are boring.

I agree. You can only have so much fun with a sports car. As much as I want a DB9, I also want to enjoy my life and not feel trapped because of my car. It sucks not being able to go wherever I want to go--I never realized how free my 4runner let me be until after it was gone.

Ooh, nice choice Tave.

I'd still get an STI over one, but I'd definitely get a Tacoma or 4Runner over a sports car.

Seriously guys, a sports car as an only car for the rest of your life?

[Colonel Cadillac]

I would have gone with 911 Turbo, but that has been overused thus far. The RS6 Avant doesn't have a manual, but do I want to be locked in with a manual for the rest of my life? What if I get tendinitis? The Cayenne Turbo S could be pretty awesome as I could off-road as well as go ridiculously fast. I'm going with that one.

Cayenne GTS with 6 spd.

Well dammit, I completely forgot about the Tacoma.

I thought you of all people would get something really practical so you could take your bikes and whatnot with you.

A 911 Turbo is perfect.

-Crazy fast and fun
-Comfortable GT when need be
-All weather grip
-Baller status

What if you need to haul stuff, or need to go offroad?

[The Pirate]

It will carry a bicycle or two, skis, and gear for a few days worth of backpacking.  That's all I need.

Otherwise, exactly what MrH said.
