Thought this would be fun. At least once a week I find something for sale and I lay awake at night thinking about buying it. Right now it'sthis E21 (sorry if you need to register to see it or something). I know they aren't very good but, damn it, that's what a BMW is supposed to look like. That one seem pretty well sorted and I just can't get it out of my head. For challenge pricing could I really go wrong? Plus, it'd probably be fun to fly out and make the 18 hour drive home.

Any number of miatas. Going so far as to pretend that I actually do have one, and am looking at free/cheap "mods".
I've really been wanting another Beetle lately. Something with an oval window and a really low stance.
I would really love one of these too. Just like anything else, as soon as I get one, I'll be looking for something else.

This stuck to my brain more than anything else at SEMA this year.
If my job wasn't going away in a few months, I'd go out next week and buy one of these.
I don't really bother lusting over stuff I could never afford/wouldn't drop the coin on even if I could, so here's my current "I probably could but really shouldn't"

I've been missing having a hot rod since I sold the 57. Not gonna happen though. 
I WANT that E21. For the price, it'd be one heck of a DD.

The missus and I are considering a family expansion. I don't want another SUV and we have dogs, so my lustful eye has spent a lot of time ar Carmax looking at these.
Marty!

^^^^^ That is the BEST looking Seven I've ever seen. I may have to change my selection now.

is that a special trim/model or just a regular one that's been modified?

or....well actually this instead

It is a Caterham CSR. I think it was dechromed from the factory, but i'm not positive. It has made me really want to build a locost.

I like Caterham's R500, but I love the Morgan Aeromax

and the Burton kit car:





I can't wait to get my MA-70 running...it has been swimming in my head for the last month...

I love pictures of cool cars in the snow.
This:

Hopefully I can have it in my driveway next weekend if we can get rid of some of this mid-atlantic snow!

Oh, wait! I've got one.

Damn, what do you know? I've got one of these, too!

Aftermarket body kit, and rims.
