Pete M Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 found these pics in my feed and was inspired to make a new thread. not counting any current rigs, what would you like to own for puttering around town... photos are required! this is the internet, we want to see the cool things.
mjeff87 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 A 2001 Ford Focus ZTS (tan in color) that didn't drip a spot of oil from somewhere on the back upper right side of the engine every night when parked. But seriously, I'd like to own another TJ at some point. Just for putting around in, with the top/doors off.....not as a DD.
tugboat95 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 I want my 99 Suburban back. I had replaced the engine and rebuilt the entire undercarriage suspension, etc. I was to the point of painting it. And sold it. I still see it regularly as I sold it to a family I know that was hard up for a dependable vehicle. Needed space for multiple kids and reliability for cheap.But I do miss it!

coheed Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 \ First car was a 73 Super Beetle with a 1600 and a horrible auto-stick trans. Mine was much much uglier than this, but was the same color. I'd love to have another one, even if the Super is the redheaded step-child of the aircooled world.
derf Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 On the subject of VWs, I'd love to have a Porsche 914 just to run around town in.
89 MJ Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 32 Ford 2 food sedan. Rust free. Yes, I got to see this car come out of a storage unit for the first time in years. I know the guy that made it run.
marcial88 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 I always wanted a yellow beetle. Big fan of the G1 Tranformers cartoon. 1986 Jeep Comanche X4WD GM 2.8L V6Front: Stock Dana 30Rear: Stock AMC 20Los Angeles CASent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

coheed Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Even though I know I'm too big I've always loved the Suzuki Mighty boy as well.

Smokeyyank Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Ooooooo I'll play....... I do this in my head like just about every minute. First would be my old K5 back or at least a pre 75 with a full convertible Got rep the 80's so another e30 vert Also need to have some american muscle in there. Always liked the 62-63 riviera when done right Need a little something to go Canyon blasting 1M An exocar............because who doesn't want to go 0-60 in under 2 seconds And lastly..... g63 6X6, I'd even settle on a AMG G wagon
Dzimm Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Crown Vic/Charger General Lee. I grew up watching the Dukes and my dream car is a General Lee. Since I can't afford a real 69 Charger, I want the cheap version I can not feel bad about beating on a bit. Believe it or not, this is a Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Wheelbase is perfect and all the 69 Charger sheetmetal and most of the trim can be bought online for just under $10k total. Factor in a roll cage and donor Crown vic and you have a 69 Dodge Charger-ish for around $15k all in. I may be cheating with this one as I own it but I likely won't get to end goal for quite a while. I want an open canopy offroad buggy thing to drive around with, like a side-by-side. Something like this. I already own a wrecked 98 Suzuki Sidekick (with a clean title so it can be registered at some point) that I made run and drive, which is what I someday hope to finish. PS, solo recovery missions with two vehicles is very difficult.

The zuki grill was no more, it rolled through a cornfield at 65mph.. I needed lights and just used what I had! There's a thread in the "other projects" threads on the zuki.

derf Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Really, a CJ 2 or 3 would be a decent run-around-town vehicle.
derf Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 An old Willys Pickup with a flathead Ford V8 swap would be cool too.
eaglescout526 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Well Minuit's idea makes me want to drive around in this then: But after alot of thought id just drive around in a 57 T-bird.
