If affordability were not an issue, what car would you be driving and most importantly why?

Question

BeMuse · Accepted Answer

I don’t know… Make a plug in hybrid diesel electric mid sized van or something like that. Something like a Ford Transit Custom. Having a vehicle that I can charge with electricity from the wall with a potential solar panel bonded tot the roof, and having the flexibility of a hybrid using conventional fuels for long distance travel would be nice. Make it 4 wheel drive while you’re at it... If it was diesel I would never have any issue with hurricane evacuations because there is always diesel at the pumps while gasoline sells out instantly. I can also very easily synthesize biodiesel at home. Being a mid sized box van it would be useful for transporting materials, it could act as a small camper van or mobile office, it could act as a mobile power plant with a battery reserve for operating in locations where there is no grid tied power, etc. and would still be able to pull into a residential garage or parking garage without any issues. They don’t really make one of those because it doesn’t make much economic sense (I think they are making a gas electric hybrid in Europe), and on top of that they don’t sell mid sized work/box vans in the US market anyway. They focus on large vans and soccer mom mini-vans so if you want to import them to the USA you have to pay a 25% tariff on top of European crazy VAT spurred prices...

I've already got mine. It's fun, attracts the guys, and they have a club where I live for muscle cars. What more could a girl ask for? I would trade it in for a live in motorhome. Dodge Hellcat Redeye What a way to travel!

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

Honestly I am not a car guy. However if we are talking about no money no restrictions, I would go with a custom car. As I said I'm not a car guy but I am an art guy. My biggest gripe with modern society is the complete lack of artistry in most everything, all the buildings are cookie cutter bland and generic to the point of being painful, so are the cars so are the homes for the most part, so is most things.

So if it was me, probably something reminiscent of the late sixties (they had the best cars in my opinion, they had distinct lines, a sense of power to them and where more asthetically pleasing). It would probably be rigged up so it was distinct.

BCA6010 · Answer

Porsche 718 Turbo for fun.
Bmw 3 or 4-series (with choice features) for everyday use/practicality.

With a caveat: Either a 2019 or earlier model on the BMW, or with a front bumper replacement because the new design is aesthetically horrendous and looks like buck-toothed vermin.

The reason is because older versions of both of these are my favorite driving cars of their type of all time, and I know what I'm getting into with them.

The super-exotic cars are cool I guess, but I have no interest in owning one.

MotorcycleMan · Answer

If affordability were not an issue, I'd have something like Jay Leno's garage. I like cars, and I like to drive nice cars, so it would be very hard to pick just one. If I had to, it would most likely be some form of supercar because I love a car that is fast and handles well. Second place would probably go to some form of luxury car, also high performance of course. Third would be a high-end off road vehicle, and 4th might be a luxury motor home for traveling.

Wait... does affordability count upkeep and employing a team to run it? Now we're talking F1.

zeitgeist057 · Answer

I don't even know because I haven't done the research because
1. too expensive
2. not much infrastructure

But I would find the most sustainable (eco-friendly) car and drive that. Okay, I did a quick search and out of the available options I would go for a Tesla Model S, and my reasoning is that it has the longest range of all the electric options.

As it stands though, I will for now stick to my two motorcycles as they get pretty great mileage, parking and traffic are a breeze, plus they are cheap to buy and maintain.

SeryCoola · Answer

A fully autonomous car. Despite being a man, I hardly care about cars and I don't really like driving them either. I have a license, and I can drive if I want to, but I only do it to reach from point A to point B. I drive a manual just because it's almost impossible to find an automatic car for a reasonable price in my country, because no one drives them, so you can't find them used. I don't drive a manual because of the control it gives me, like other people say. I want a car which would safely drive me anywhere, and only require my input in very few exceptional cases. And no, this is not an Uber, what I am asking for, because I want, if possible, to not rely on anyone to get me places. I want to go myself where I want to, but I want my car to do 99% of the job.

NamerOfStars · Answer

In practical terms, something reliable and efficient. I'm not street racing, so maximum speed doesn't matter much to me, and I doubt I'm likely to be towing anything, so I don't need an engine that can haul a tank. So something solid and dependable, rather than flashy.

But that's not what you wanted to hear, and if money's no object, I'm including gas and insurance in that, which leaves me with only one real option:

Laugh all you want; I would NEVER need to wonder where I parked.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I actually like both my main cars.

I would likely go for an Aston Martin - DBS Superleggera 2018.

Also a Nissan GTR …

my Golf R Estate really takes some beating as a 24/7 365 days of the year car, in -11c to 30c, sun, rain or snow.

for summer my soon to be replaced BMW M4 is a brilliant drive.

Jean-Marie_Céline · Answer

I admit I'm not a fan of American cars, but my father has promised me a Ford Mustang Coupe for my birthday, and I want it New York Black. Only four weeks more to wait!

jennifer_bloom · Answer

A Low Grade SUV with a Sun Roof - not too good - my friend got an Infiniti SUV and somebody tried to steal it within the first month or week she owned it. And I've seen homeless people vandalize high end vehicles out of jealousy so I want big and safe but not beautiful and flashy.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

If affordability wasn't an issue, wouldn't be driving any car, would have a driver to drive me around.. With all the asshat drivers these days, hate driving...

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

Probably some black SUV. I don't demand much. But let's face it: I'd take a junker if it meant I could afford my own house. And by house, I mean one-story, 2-bedroom pre-manufactured. Basically little more than an apartment or condo in size. But alas, I can't even expect to own that anymore, with what banksters and Wall Street are doing to the housing market, trying to force us into Soviet concrete hell apartments by making everything else unaffordable.

Bl0n6eguy · Answer

A LAV-25 for... uh... potential eventualities.

+ Bulletproof
+ Amphibious
+ Living Space
+ 8 wheeler
+ T. O. W...

If you're good with camouflage it'd be the perfect off-the-grid mobile home; the the most glamorous but great utility.

Qdbrown · Answer

I would get me a replica racecar Ford GT 40 with a Rousch Coyote 5.0 with the eight single carb set up at 500 hp.

These are real racecars with modern engine and drivetrain setups.

I also like then Factory Five Replica race cars. They have the Cobra and Daytona.

And if not that, Cobra Mustang from any year, from 67 to current.

Mofunfour20 · Answer

My 74 Chevy c-10. Safest vehicle in my opinion. A guy crashed into me and trashed his front end but the only thing that happened to the truck was that the bumper was pushed out of position. Its like a mini tank, heavy duty. a lot of people suck at driving so i enjoy the safety benefits and square body look it embodies

Porsche because I like both the design of the cars and I like how the logo looks.

Dragonpurple · Answer

F350, fully loaded diesel... problem is those have gone from costing 35k back in 2010 to near a 100k these days.

The mountains and snow here, where I live... we do not even get plowed. Last winter, we had a big storm and had 3 feet a snow, that was fun driving through... almost got stuck in my old pickup, glad I had 4 wheel drive though.

Dnice1 · Answer

A brand new 2022 Tundra in either this color or blue. The red looks good too though.

DarkWinterNights · Answer

I’m pretty happy with the vehicles I have now. Limited on space and money, but if I were to buy another one, either a Ford Lightning if I moved further out of town, or a Camaro, Mustang GT or the new mid-engine Corvette because I’ve never owned a fast car.

Browneye57 · Answer

Porsche 911 variant. Best car on the road, bar none, with an extremely successful progression. I owned a 1976 in 1986. They were even expensive to own and drive back then. My mechanic was a 'CART' mechanic - as in 'indy-car'.

I would accept a Cayman S as a consolation. :)

exitseven · Answer

I think I would drive around in one of these.  All Electric Hummer It goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. nice interior, good ground clearance, goes anywhere.

K-I-S-S · Answer

I sold my car on purpose and don't drive one right now.

I ordered the Tesla Cybertruck when it came on market. Waiting for that. 2022 maybe...

Currently riding my motorcycle.

I don't have a really expensive taste and i'm already riding/driving what i want.

MysticDevice · Answer

The Henessy Velociraptor 6x6. In case of zombies or end of times.

And the Jaguar Project 8 because... it's a Jaaaag. It is the ultimate compromise of luxury and class, and sheer horsepower and untamed feral animal.

jamesgoldman · Answer

I wouldn't be driving well maybe from the back seat

Probably a Bentley probably a salloon like a Flying Spur but the Mulsanne is nice even if they don't make them anymore maybe a Bentayga but then I'd probably consider a Range Rover Autobiography Sport, maybe even Overfinch specification

SphynxUK · Answer

I’m quite partial to a Nissan 350z because I think it’s stylish and I like the sound of the engine. I’d like to own a Jimny too. It’s just a fun, practical car.
Both you don’t see often which appeals.

Everglow5 · Answer

I want a round green car so I can call it my turtle

EssenceOfLight · Answer

I like 1980-ties look. This car isn't even that expensive but it's difficult to find one without chassis damage and Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16v Evoluzione II was always a very rare model at internet auctions. It's a street version of World Rally Championship vehicle.

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

Mercedes S63 AMG because I’m 6’7” 260. Although they are coming out with a S73E that will have 800hp.

I drive a 21 Silverado High Country 1500 truck now with air suspension, so it’s still pretty nice. I like those Trackhawks too with an aftermarket Demon package pushing 1000hp+.

NathanDavis · Answer

a 500,000 dollar Mitsubishi rally racing unit, and I would be driving it all over Europe...  and why? why not... lol, affordability and logistics would not be an issue then

EnglishEuropean · Answer

I think the last time this came up I said a Mercedes A-class AMG. No need to change that but this time I'll specify a white one. I read somewhere they are the safest car on the market, which is nice. Mercedes A-class

SassySinner · Answer

I don't know, I’m not a fan of them but they’re eco friendly so a Tesla. Not only cause they’re eco friendly but because of all the instant torque and power. Only downside is the charging and technical issues 😫

TsundereMatrix · Answer

A Ford Mustang. Old or new. I always loved them and they way they look.

MrKinktastic · Answer

Tesla roadster probably… Or some kind of hydrogen or electric truck that could pull a horse trailer. I’d settle for biodiesel if I had good access to used cooking oil.

wtf636 · Answer

Whatever car drives itself. So probably a Tesla. Or I would hire a driver, and have him drive me around in a stretch bentley all day or something like that.

igaveyouanickname · Answer

Well, I have one of them: a VW Vanagon camper. The others would be a 1990 Land Rover Defender 110, 1969 Citroën DS21 convertible, and a Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut.

Probably an old Plymouth Roadrunner from 1969 or 1970 totally restored, like the Super Bee. 1969 Camaro and the new Ford Raptor for utility use and power

ChubbyKing · Answer

Probably a Lucid Air with the executive seating package (although it hasn't been released yet). I just really like the car. I've been following its development since 2016 waiting for them to finally produce it.

rcljr · Answer

1958 Chevrolet Apache 4 wheel drive pick up truck. Because I could, because it doesn’t have air bags emission controls, tracking devices, none of the intrusive government crap

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I find present cars pointless and unappealing. So it will be an ''Oldtimer''. A Ford Model T or a Messerschmitt ''Micro'' car would be cool. Problem being: emissions :(

menina · Answer

Well, I don't have a car. I've never thought about a specific brand but I would like to have an electric car.
