I was at my local Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Maserati and Bentley dealers today as I was bored...it really does pain to see such machinery just sitting there in the showroom.

I sat in a 430 Scuderia...and let's just say I would sell my first child to own that.

It pains me to think that most of the d-bags that buy these cars never don't drive them anywhere near how they were meant to be driven.

They will never know what does that machinery contain and what they are capable of doing. On the other side, here I am, taking juice from a rock.

I just watched an old video called 'Top 100 cars' (of the 20th century). And then I thought what would be my top 5 most beautiful cars ever made, and I came to a very sad conclusion: all of them are several decades old. That would be fairly normal if I were old and nostalgic. But I'm not. :shock: Depressing, isn't it?

Well, its a fact that modern cars are just simply ugly in comparison. Its quite sad because when these modern cars are so called 'classics' they will not have any character or charisma.

Older cars ARE more beautiful. They weren't dependant on crash safety or aerodynamics. They were beautiful for beauty's sake.

Enough talking, pics or don't bother posting. :roll: :lol:

05+ E46 M3 (preferably in Alpine White or light shade of gray)

I've mentioned this before in another thread, but a personal goal is to own a 05+ E46 M3. And since I have an obsession with white vehicles, it will most likely be in Alpine White, a near perfect match for my white Silverado.

My dream car is not even designed or built. And maybe, if you read Modbarabans signature, it is true it never will.

I need an every day car that weights no more than 600Kg, has at least 150HP, for at least 6 secs for the 0-100kmh, at least 220Kmh top speed, low fuel consumption, easy and cheap to maintain, and that can pass through streets like this without breaking apart:

Maybe what I need is a car like the Lotus Seven... but with a lower Cd and stronger suspension. I cant understand why there isnt a car manufacturer like that in this remote part of the world!

I bet you manufacture the car I have in my mind and it will sell as warm bread. Light, fast, cheap and reliable. Maybe a roofed version of this???
