If I ever win a super, mega, lotto jackpot (tough since I rarely buy a ticket) I'm going to hire a team of ninja car thieves to follow Les around and steal any car he buys and replace it with a lovely vintage Ford Escort.

I would then find myself a nice Integra Type R, drive to Tampa, and Rev on Les at every light. I'll hit the V tech and totally leave him sitting there covered in respect for Honduh Power.



Easier would be to just say this whenever you see Lesley............... "You bought a Saturn?" It helps if you have a decent rack in the process............ baahahahhaaahha

There are two classes of cars you can go with, as others have said:

Cars you are unlikely ever to be able to afford. In this class I figure if you can't afford something, you might as well not afford something really awesome. So I'd have a custom made car in this slot, and maybe a 1934 Ford and an old hearse.

In the cars I might be able to someday afford, well, that changes from time to time. I'm thinking a BRZ is on the list, though.

I hear ya Brett.

In reality, the next on the list is a black Scibaru for me and the ST Focus wagon for the bosslady. Honestly, the car I probably lusted over most was the Countach and maybe the 360 Stradale.

Don't you put that evil on Les Davis! Don't you put that evil on him!

I had one of these 1.9L Escorts as a service dept loaner for the month of July in 1990. The only good thing I can say about it is that the AC worked very well.

What I want is this Chantilly Beige '64 Ranch Wagon.

Original 390 was replaced with a 428. The owner told me it would pass anything but a gas station :)

Either a nicely restored daily driver:

or a Jerry Titus themed track car:

I can't decide, so it remains under a tarp. :(

Cash, you need to stop jacking around w/ that FSP car start putting your funds into a resto-modded firebird. I've seen that car. If you don't get start on it soon, you won't have any car to work with. At least put it in a garage.... If you don't want it, I'll gladly take it off of your hands!

Mazda B2200. It's like a Ford Ranger, but with a certain je ne sais quoi.

Nice... I meant no offense really to the ITR faithful among us, it is a fine Honda Civic, no doubt. It was mainly just a jab at our illustrious president from the previous similar discussion.

Sincerely, I love cars so much that these sorts of questions are very difficult for me. If I had won the mega millions lottery this week, the first thing I would have purchased would have been a brand new Lamborghini Aventador as that is the best car I could actually go to a dealership and buy immediately. However, the car I probably lust after the most is the Pagani Zonda F Roadster. The new Huarya is a thing of static beauty, every exquisite detail is truly amazing, and the performance is clearly awesome, however the sounds that emanate from the thing are absurd, all the wooshing, and popping and whirring, my dishwasher makes better sounds, not lust worthy. The Zonda, with the highly tuned naturally aspirated AMG V12, the sounds that car makes, now that my friends is lust worthy. The Ariel Atom V8 is also very much worth of lust.

For the purposes of this discussion, nothing breaks, tires never wear out, and fuel is perpetually replenished :D


That's call playing video game….. the new GT6 is pretty good in my opinion, better than GT5, I try the Huayra the other day and its fast, really fast.
The Light car company Rocket, is really good.

No offense taken Les. I was just having some fun with you and your disdain for all things Honda.

I must be getting boring because I'll have to agree with Remchak and say if I had a bunch of money to spend. The first thing I'd buy is a house some place warm on a beach, or a lake, or a canal with access to the ocean.

There's only one word that belongs in front of the word "cam" and that's "hot". Accept no substitutions!
