This isnt a bucket list of supercars. Just cars you have always wanted to own but never had the spare cash. I find myself doing this on GT5.

Just the cars you see at car shows and go "Man i have always wanted on of them...oh well, keep working on my 6th mustang"

in no particular order

80's porsche 911, my dad had 4 and always wanted one of my own
68 charger
Grand National
SY/TY truck, always liked typhoon better
mr2 turbo (just cuz i went for a drive in a fast one once)
Mitzy EVO 6
Original VW bug with an angry motor
XA/XB falcon
68 GTO
Turbo Mark 4 Supra
Dig racing Jeep Cherokee with built 360
Escort cosworth
Sapphire cosworth (owned but never finished)
porsche 914-6
E30 3 series, 328IS with healthy motor, (love the 80s)

Anymore ideas? Im sure there is 100s more

Or do some people here like fords and thats it?

I'm just 19 so I wouldn't really consider it affordable to me but I've always wanted a De Tomaso Pantera.

There are several cars I'd love to own, but the only "affordable" car that I would be willing to spend good money on is a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 351W with a shaker hood. I can buy one right now, but I keep talking myself out of it because I am close to paying off school loans and I'm still a contractor at my job. Hopefully this fall I can say I own one, otherwise 2014 will be the year (assuming life doesn't throw me any curveballs...)

Depends on what you mean by affordable. That term is different for everybody. The list you supplied has some cars that I myself would love to own. For me they are attainable, maybe not for others.

I did actually purchase recently one car that I always wanted to try out. That was a VW GTI. SO far I'm having a blast with it!

I'd also like the following

FR-S/BRZ
Datsun 210
RX-7
Volvo P600
Ford Falcon XB
Mercur XR4-Ti
SVO Fox Mustang
Shelby GLHS
Fierro

I'm sure there are more. Most of these are in the "old and ratty and I don't have time for that" category. Some like the Falcon and Datsun may be worth it as they can bring some money back for the time and effort. I've got to finish up my 1969 Firebird first before I take on any more projects though.

My favs in RED

Had a few XR4ti's. They are fun and you dont feel bad cutting them up. Lots i wanted that were old and ratty and whenever i see a nice one i end up wanting it all over it again

I said affordable because everyone just says a bunch of supercars and 100 dollar muscle cars otherwise. I know it depends to everyone but hey its a dream list

You could have bought any one of those for what you paid for your 5.0.....ha

I want (ones in Lime I've already checked off)

Ferrari 360
Evo X
350z
Termi (check, dream car since I was 13)

Mercedes SL500
BMW 335i (e46/e92)
Ferrari Testarossa
911 Turbo (996/997)
Charger/Challenger/Jeep SRT8
Toyota Supra (GTE)
All Black F250 Powerstroke (7.3/6.7 - fffff that 6.0)
SRT10
Lightning/Raptor


List goes on and on, best part aside from 3-4 of them, they're all reasonable cars for a single adult male to drive.

I have a car for the driving experience, I have one for off-roading, now I just want something that is fun to daily and easy to drive and/or luxury.

Indeed I could have. Its always the same group of cars when I get ready to get a new one, and those are the ones I havent gone with yet. Went with the 5.0 twice cause I love these cars.
