What's that one life-long car you want so bad, that noone understands?

Nothing says crash safety like sitting in the crumple zone of your carAttachment 17079

I'm going with my 1966 VW Beetle. The crumple zone is the spare tire & the fuel tank..

I wish I could get my hands on a brand new 1985 Golf Diesel. These were made before regulations made diesels ridiculously complex and expensive. Mine didn't even have a catalytic converter. If somebody was tailgating me I could activate the chemical defense system by flooring it which produced clouds of smoke but little acceleration. I lost mine to a nice lady with a death wish that pulled out from a stop sign directly into my path.

The AMC Eagle is another car I wish I could get my hands on!

My evo IX. I bought it within 2 days of being in AIT in the Army. I mean its not as crazy as most of the stuff listed here but, most people think its just a family sedan with a stupid wing thrown on it.

It was love at first sight.....and the flame still flickers. It was some consolation that my parents did buy a new 1989 Swift GTi, which is what I learned to drive stick on.

I'll take a ctsv wagon. With a stick.

I value my garage space to store other junk to much, but I would love to borrow someone's 1970's VW Thing (4-speed manual/46 hp) with orange or yellow paint. After tooling around in it for a time, it would make my Mirage seem quite powerful.

My uncle's got one, he fully rebuilt it and restored it himself.... I remember when I was over at his house 4 years ago and he was on the "wiring stage".... I never knew a car could have so much wiring and harnesses until I saw that car... Last I know he's driving it across country now. Too slow for my likes.

I had several of these diesel VWs, including this '81 Jetta. Biggest problem I had was with the fuse boxes.

That's interesting. I had a friend I deployed with who purchased an Evo VIII (Either a VII or VIII) within days of us getting back from Iraq. Wasn't the Evo VIII the first version sold in the states? I assume he couldn't have gotten the VII imported due to it's newer age, but this was GA and I don't know if the 25 year rule was a thing in 2006. I took a couple of pictures with my crappy flip phone.
