Vehicular Bucket list
This is my current vehicular bucket list. Has changed thru the years but these are ones I think I'd feel comfortable achieving if I can.
1990 - 1999 Suburban. Summer -weekend shooting range - vacation vehicle. (summer as its the only one on the list likely to have functioning a/c.) W115 220D. Want it as my prime late fall - winter - spring driver. Realistically will substitute any good W123 as circumstances dictate. Pre 1967 Beetle. Backup car for any emergency situation and just the general "coolness" factor. Ironic how my thinking has gone almost full circle since I was a kid. Used to hate beetles with a passion. Now. I think they are one of the all time great automotive icons. - Peter.

any 50s/late 60s mercedes would do it for me, along with 20s/30s erra fords, and i have a huge love for the 76 f250 highboy.
my first truck was a 75, my dad was such a pain in the ass about the truck that i finally sold it when i was 17.

I don't think I need 4x4 but other than that I agree.

I picked up a 93 GMC 2500 4x4 pickup with a 6.5 diesel recently. I was looking for either a pickup or a suburban for a towing vehicle. 104k miles. Seems ok. I'd hesitate buying a post-93 6.5 diesel because the IP's are electronic then and diagnosis is trickier than on the 93 mechanical pump.

Honestly;...I've married cars that I only wanted to date.
I Bought many a "bucket list car" realizing I really just wanted to drive it around for a day and walk away. Sadly;...After owning like 250 cars; there isn't anything left on my bucket list I want to own. But there a lot of cars I would like to drive around for an hour. Most any real Ferrari, a well sorted 911s, 1957 300slr, and some orphan cars. The car I really want, hasn't been built yet, mainly because Apple doesn't build cars.....Yet.
