Oh man. What to choose, what to choose.
Well right now I really, Really, REALLY, REALLY want a Subaru Impreza WRX sTi...oh man that baby is one nasty mammajamma. I've had the privilege to drive it around for a couple hours. Ooooohhhhhhhhh. Damnit, where's the kleenex? (jk)
I would also like a 1967 Dodge Dart. If you've ever seen a really souped up Dart....you know why I'd want one.
I have a Honda Civic, hatchback model. I am personally putting in a brand new stereo, engine work, body modifications, and various other aesthetic modifications. By myself. No b.s. paying someone to do it for me. My car will be just as good as what you see in the movies, only I will have sweat over my own car.
I've really noticed how awesome it is to work on your car. I'm surprised, what I've done so far and what I've learned about cars has really impressed me. I can understand why people do this stuff for fun/a living.

Favorite car that we've owned?
It's hard to pick just one...My favorite daily driver was probably my first 1968 Mustang fastback. It was midnight blue, with a 289 and a 4 speed /manual. Also my '72 Chevy 4x4- short bed, 350, 4-speed. I just sold it, last July, after having it most of my life-(it had been my dad's, since 1973; I bought it in '90.) I was quite fond of my '82 Yamaha 550 street-bike, too- And as far as getting in trouble went, my '67 Mustang coupe, hands down. Her name was Slicker'n Snot, cuz nothing could touch her...428 Cobra Jet, 4-speed, no interior, except my seat and 5-point harness and roll bar. Had alot of carburetor fires with her, tho- My favorite track car was my '65 Mustang coupe, Wild Times..We ran the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds flat, for 2 consecutive years in the NHRA. She had a 289 on alcohol- what a rush. Oh yeah- she was hot pink, in honor of the Floyd. My black '68 fastback, Eclipse, was set up for the strip, also, but was stolen before our '93 NHRA season debut. Dream car: 1968 Mustang Shelby fastback, 500 KR-(King of the Road); or Ford GT40.
