One Car

[JYODER240]

Okay there's no price limit but if you could only own one car what would it be? This would be your daily driver and you would have to keep it for atleast 5years.


Go!

[ifcar]

Do we pay gas and insurance for the five years?

[JYODER240]

To level the playing field I'll say yes to gas and no to insurance.

911 GT3.  GT3 RS if it has air conditioning.

[JYODER240]

911 GT3.? GT3 RS if it has air conditioning.

I'm 99% sure the RS doesn't have A/C.

[Raza]

I'm 99% sure the RS doesn't have A/C.

That's the only thing.  I couldn't take driving in a car that doesn't have A/C.

If it did, I want one in orange.

[heelntoe]

i'd take an RS4, maybe an avant since it will be an only car.

[ChrisV]

Range Rover HSE. Carry the family in style, carry what I need from Home Depo and Ikea, pull a trailer, look good, comfy, etc., etc.



Otherwise, new Mercedes S Class.

[Tave]

I'd seriously migrate towards a Quattroporte, if I was in PHX, and an LR3, if I was in Wyoming.




Edit: but Chris has me debating between the LR3 and the Range

Nothing says you can't borrow someone else's car.

[J86]

how much can a 911 tow?

[heelntoe]

Nothing says you can't borrow someone else's car.

but said someone has to have a borrowable car to begin with.

i'll change my choice to a Mk. I/II GTi.

[Raza]

More than you can tow without it.

[JYODER240]

This is a tough one for me. I'd love to have GT3 since it is my dream car. A RS would be nice but i'm not sure how much of an advantage it would have over the regular GT3 if it's not on a track. I wonder how the GT3 would do in the winter since it has almost no ground clearance. A Turbo might be the best choice but i'll have to keep thinking.

[Raza]

An Aston Martin Somethingorother!?

[SVT666]

[JYODER240]

The reliebility of a DB9 would scare me. I wonder how it would hold up after 5years and atleast 50K miles.

[Raza]

Why not the SRT?

[Rich]

An Aston Martin Somethingorother!?

DB9

It probably drives like shit (I like a low beltline and a sprightly car), but I couldn't pass on something so beautiful, even if it didn't drive how I liked. 

[Rich]

I wonder how it would hold up after 5years and atleast 50K 125,000 miles.

Good enough for me.  I've had to visit the dealer for about 15 things that have gone wrong with my car and the dealer is 2 hours away.  The Aston dealer is a half hour closer, so it couldn't be much worse

[SVT666]

Why not the SRT?

Cause I gotta pay for gas.

[Rich]

Cause I gotta pay for gas.

Yeah, but you're not paying for the car, so use that money for the gas

[SVT666]

Yeah, but you're not paying for the car, so use that money for the gas

Nobody said we weren't paying for it.  If I'm not paying for it, then I pick this:

Go!

Your car.

[CMan]

Mercedes S550.

[J86]

More than you can tow without it.

I'd love to see a 911 with my skis on the roof and the boat behind it

[TBR]

Can I get an extended warranty? If so, 911 Carrera S FTW. Otherwise, I am not sure, I just know I can't afford Porsche parts.

If the RX-8 didn't get such sucky gas mileage it would be my pick, but since it does I think I'll take a Legacy Spec B.

[TheIntrepid]

A tossup between

Aston Martin DB9


and

Mercedes S550 4-Matic (Distronic Plus)

[the Teuton]

Either a 993 Turbo S or a 959 with the adjustable suspension.  It would be a tough pick.

My third choice would be a Legacy 2.5 GT Spec. B at the moment.
