Since Spark made a thread about cars I was wondering what are your dream cars or car brands.

In 20 to 25 years I would want to own a M5 or the equivalent version of it then.

In a perfect world, I would like to own a Lamborghini, but I highly doubt I will ever be wealthy enough

For some reason, if I ever become wealthy enough that I could afford multiple cars or something; I've usually gravitated towards convertibles. I'd love to have a Mazda MX-5 or a similar car some day.

Beyond that, I've also usually liked the usual German luxury trio of Mercedes/Audi/BMW (less so for BMW lately though); as well as Porsche.

Stuff like Ferrari, Lamborghini and what not to me seems excessive, unwieldy and useless in most circumstances; Porsche is really as high-end/luxury as I'd be willing to go.

almost exactly this.  The idea of driving a 600 hp, $300k car every day seems like a chore and dangerous.

If I had excessive money I would have:
1.new Miata as my daily driver
2.whatever the best sport SUV is at the time for daily driving with others
3.3rd Gen RX7 for when I want to look cool
4.a heavily modded WRX for winter daily driving
I'd have more, but that's all a super rich dead0man would need.  The rest would be old RX7s, older British roadsters and maybe a beater pick up truck.

edit-forgot to mention my toy....a first gen Miata (with the pop up headlights) with an LS swap.  That's the car that will kill rich dead0man.

Maybe an M5, Jaguar, or Porsche could be the dream. But my current obsession would be a Rivian R1S to go the EV route.

Jeep Wrangler or one of the new-ish Broncos or smaller-end trucks, probably, outfitted with all the unnecessary "outdoors" accessories. (American/Michigander) In the future, of course, it is to be hoped that such will be electric (my buddy, who has money, unlike me, just ordered an electric truck for a few years from now)

Evil things. Of course, society is such that I'm constantly dependent on things I don't understand or really want to understand, distrust or outright hate.

I agree with the caveat that the remaining solar masculinity impulses in me are forever lost on the day that my dad and I went to an automotive history museum in south-central Pennsylvania for a day trip (as we often did) and saw a Studebaker Avanti casually parked out front.

Many such cases. One time, when I must have been about 14, I was on a walk with my dad when either a Maserati or a Bugatti Veyron suddenly drove by. We were going to get a picture but didn't manage it in time and I was very sad. Very little of that version of me remains now, as you can tell from the fact that I can't actually remember what sort of car it was, but the disappointment at not having gotten a record of that much of a black swan event is still fully understandable to me.

I find the idea of an expensive trophy car to be ridiculous. Cars are practical to me, if it can get me where I need to be for a reasonable price and with good enough gas mileage, that's all I care about. Besides I would never want to risk an expensive automobile getting damaged in a car collision.

And even then, I hate driving. So I think my dream car would be having a private chauffeur to drive me around in a limousine.
