For people into cars.........

Ok, I'm a big car fan. Love all types of cars, but I'm a big Dodge fan. If you had $100,000 , what car would you buy and why?

I myself would by a Dodge Viper or an Aston Martin DB9. But, there's tons of others I like. Just curious on what you would buy!

Bah, Chevy rules, mopar drools and the Ford won't even start. :p

Uh, sorry....flashback, man.

$100k, eh? Well you wouldn't be a serious contender for top dog, but you could certainly scare the shit out of the neighbors....and yourself.
Being not normal, with an extra 100k I'd probably add a '34 Ford coupe, ala California Kid style.

If I had 100k I'd upgrade my barn and buy a few more horses to enjoy.
I already have my dream car:

Nice Vette Hoof! Have you done any work to it?

I'm a fan of Chevy as well, but I grew up around Dodges. Can't stand Ford whatsoever. I'd take a new Mustang though! And actually, I'd save up a lillte more, and buy a Hennessey Viper. 1000+ HP should do the trick!

If I had $100,000, I'd buy a Mazda 5, and spend the leftover $80k on an addition onto our house.

It's amazing....they can win the race and then creep along, carrying the "Race Queen", in the victory parade through town..... and for relatively cheap.

Is this mofo for sale yet? Not in the price range anyway I guess....


I suppose I could make due with a Commander with a little R36 on the side...

Yeah, I've read that, just don't forget to slow way down for the corners.
Btw, that's the 6.1 L, not the 5.7, but for that $100,000 you could get two of them.

That begs the question, why don't you have one? I know you've got LJ wrapped around your little finger, (I think he's the one that told me) so just tell him.

I drove one a couple of weeks ago, and its exactly what I need... but I've got a perfectly good GC in the driveway that I just got all nice and broken in.
We're gonna let one depreciate a bit and get it off-lease when they start rolling back in.

For the record, it (the hemi Commander) didn't seem much faster than my 4.7L V8 Laredo... but I culd really use that extra row of seats.
