Default Re: If you could own any car what would it be?

So many good cars to choose from and no doubt the criteria is only one, i`ve always liked/loved xy gt`s (still do )and really loved my old xr 289, all gt falcons are good, as above i also have a thing for land cruisers , mustangs and sort of fallen in love with lexus brand as well , porche panamera i reckon they are pretty cool as well , i even had a thing for the old rolls knardley ,
but in my old age as a daily driver if ford made the au again ......... please dont flame me , i would buy another au xr...probably a v8 this time , its just such an awesome low stress daily driver , ugly as sin , every time i plant my *** into the drivers , i say to myself geez this is a good car , its comfy , seriously it steers grouse and goes around corners , and it just keeps going , i rarely have to do any thing to it , its just a bloody good limo .

Just keeping it real.. one of the buildings I work in there is a tenant with a lambo who parks down stairs and he has to turn on launch control just to get over the hump into the carpark. It scrapes hard every time. Its a sure fire way to kill a nice car. Most days all the vents are open too. Sydney traffic is too slow to cool a Lamborghini I reckon

I would take a 2020 Falcon GT because in a parallel universe in another time and place they exist.

Or a Hellcat Challenger would be a close 2nd

My current ride serves me well but when I become either:
  • Captain of industry
  • Property developer
  • Criminal overlord
  • CEO of a major bank

I'll store the FGX XR6T in the garage, make like this guy on the right after gaining 300kg:

Just one?

So I want something reasonably comfortable and luxurious, something with reasonable power, and i'd like something that will take me off road too.

This will do.
