Large V8 American cars. My first car was a '73 Chrysler Newport with a 400 big block. That got replaced by a '72 Mercury Montego with a 351W. I also had a '76 Buick and a '63 Dodge. I used to think a '69 Hemi Roadrunner would be the ultimate car. I still wouldn't mind having an old 60's muscle car to take out on weekends, but between the crap fuel economy, the crap handling, the crap brakes, and dealing with carburetors, I would never have another as a daily driver. My dream cars now are a Porsche 911 (achievable) and a Ferrari (in case I ever hit the lottery), along with a W123 Turbo-Diesel with a manual transmission-no need to dream, I have one and drove it to work and back today.
