Just for future reference: it's "your" Sorry, big pet peeve of mine and I'm a teacher, so, it goes hand-in-hand :wink:

Now to answer the question....my favorite car in the whole world is a BMW 325i convertible. One day, I will have one. But for now, I'll have to settle for my new beetle convertible. :tounge:

I love the muscle cars of years gone by (GTO was one of my favorites),
on a more practical note, with gas being the way it is these days, the new Honda FCX Hydrogen fuel cell car looks pretty amazing, it dosent use gas, the only emissions byproduct is water, it should be mass produced and ready for consumers in 09. Heres a video of it.

My favorite? There are so many to choose from! For an everyday driver, I'd love an M3, which I do hope to get some day. I'd like to drive a Bugatti Veyron, but really don't have a desire to own one, nor could I unless I win the lottery. ;) The late-60's Mustangs are up there for me, too. When I was growing up, the Porsche 928 S4 was my favorite, but I'd "settle" for a 911 GT2 these days.

I recently bought a Kiwi Green Honda Element. It is cute and I love it. But I got it to be economical, not because it is my favorite.

If money was not an issue I would definitely get a BMW or Mercedes. I just turned in my X3 off a 3 year lease. Maybe a 5 series BMW. That would be sweet.

I have an X3 now and I love it! Do you miss yours?

Macgirl, are you into cars?

Yep! And motorcycles, too. My last bike was a Yamaha R6, but I was riding it less and less, so I sold it. My husband races and has 2 R6's at the moment. I've auto-crossed my car and planned to do the entire season this year, but never got started since we our move earlier this year. :(

Sorry to spoil the surprise! :frown:

I'm a bit of a car nut and I recognize most models and knew that it was a Tiburon. I'd seen the custom badging before and think I'd googled it a while ago and learned that it was a club/aficionado thing then... :)

Awesome, you're like a female version of me :laugh2:

It's more of an aficionado thing than a club thing now. Most of us on www.Newtiburon.com (http://www.Newtiburon.com) and www.Floridatibs.com (http://www.Floridatibs.com) have replaced the "crooked" H's with the "Tuscani" T.
Why do I feel as if that Tiburon needs bigger rims??
anybody else agree ? or is it just me.
Because it does, those are the stock 16's. And since I'm getting married in a year, all my mod money is going towards that.

How cute; that looks like a baby version of my wife's G35 coupe.

I used to have an antomobile export business selling exotics to a very specialized clientele overseas, so I have driven cars most people have never seen.

These days I like comfort and reliablity so we have his & hers Infinities, but if I wanted to make an effort in the car department I would go for a Bentley Continental GT. There's just something about a 6,000 lb car that can approach 200 MPH that appeals to me...

That's cool, but I prefer the new g37 over the the g35. That's cool too, but again, I'd rather drive a bimmer over an overpriced nissan. I'm the opposite, something about driving a heavy ass cruise liner doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather have something with a better power to weight ratio that I can effortlessly throw into corners. But that's just my opinion of course.

Sounds to me like you have never driven the GT, or been with someone who knows what they are doing in one. You may not realize it but Bentley has as prestegious a racing heritage as Porsche; you think they get 160 large for the GT because Paris Hilton drives one?

As for overpriced, I really don't think you should use that word when trying to talk up a BMW, the original "less for more but look at me!" car.

Besides, BMWs don't even come with turn signals, at least not the ones they sell here in L.A..

It was a joke, one that anyone from L.A. will appreciate.

Here in the Land of the Overindulged there is a strong "screw you" mentality among people who are finally achieveing some measure of success.

Nowhere is this more apparent than on our fair streets, where wannabes of every stripe ignore every form of curtousy, including signalling their intentions, because they think they are are "too cool to care."

Why do you think freeway shootings originated here..?
