Dream cars

While watching a ahow on tv I found my dream car that I would love to park in the garage next to the VX...1953 fiat 8v supersonic
Then after a little research I found that they are saling at auctions for $1,000,000+ and thus it is in the "dream" catagory.

It's not really a Fiat. It's a Fiat racing chassis with Ghia coachwork.
It's still way cool.

I used to have dream car lists... for some reason I can't remember any of them really. Was always stuffed with old mustangs like boss's and Mach 1's. Now I don't really lust after much like that. I'm a little dissapointed in myself for it too! I'll have to rekindle that old flame!

Funny, I had a dream last night I was toting around in one of these. I was sad when I woke up and there was only a Subaru in my driveway and not the F40. :(

I agree with Ldub fiat is only known for falling apart, starting on fire, rusting to the ground, or having random rubber band like parts snapping. I'd personally jump on a very rare early 70's porsche 917 la mans if I were dropping a mill on a crazy play thing.

It was decided they needed to build si that any given time one would be actually running. Guaranteed you have 8 Fiats they will not all be running at any given time

Speaking of Local Motors, on the day when I have to say goodbye to my VX, I hope it's because I have one of these:
