I’ll start. It’s the 911 Dakar. I’ve always been a massive fan of the Safari models. But being this off-road capable is insane, and not to mention that it might be one of the best daily driven cars ever made. I always loved big boxy SUVs for daily driving, but this seems to combine my 2 favorite things.

    Lucid Air Sapphire.

    Not only one of the quickest production cars you can buy (only bested by the Rimac Nevera) but also apparently great fun to drive, and incredibly efficient too.

    I used to drive a 1996 Dodge Caravan as a daily driver until a few years ago. Back when commuting existed for me. I would attend Car events all over the place and in those events lots of manufacturers let you drive their cars. I always said once everybody was launched, graduated from college, and on their way, I would get a fun car.

    The final two family members graduated with their degrees at the beginning of this year.

    I wouldn’t call it a dream car, but I would call it attainable and slightly aspirational. Corvette C8.

    From the list above that others put before me, I can tell you that I’ve been in the 911 GT 3 RS on a naval base runway up to 180 mph. I’ve also driven the Lexus IS 500, I just toured McLaren headquarters in woking UK. Also, just rented a 911 convertible from Porsche Stuttgart, they do that at the museum there, and drove it through Europe, but particularly the Alps. I’ve also noticed that Porsche has some driving events that include the Dakar now, and so you can pay a lot less than it would to own it to be able to drive it. Similar to the Ferrari, kind of the predecessor to it, is the FF. Also have driven one of those at a Ferrari event.

    In the end, low and behold, I just bought my 2023 Corvette C8. Still a lot of money, in my opinion. But it was attainable. And I needed to get something before I get too old and decrepit to be able to put it to good use.

    Audi RS6 Avant. A supercar station wagon?! That’s just ticks all the boxes for me right there!

    I’m still not over the Ionic 5 N. It saddens me I can’t buy it because Hyundai is pricing it around 100k and has charging issues.

    Lotus Evora GT

    I just like its not over the top styling, and think its the best handling road car in my racing sim.

      Did you see that crazy man take his creation out on track? Watch the moment Chris Harris, back, slaps him or smacks his shoulder that look on Chris Harris‘s face I have never seen before. It is his eternal car guy coming out at the highest peak of sharing the car guy experience with someone else. That video is crazy amazing

        Yep. That video is phenomenal because it’s two men appreciating the others’ capabilities- Richard, Chris’ driving, and Chris, Richard’s creation.

        I love it when I have a chance to ride with/drive my clients after finishing a car for them.

    F150 Lightning EV

    I’ve always had trucks (I have a small farm) and I have always felt bad about my 11-16 mpg behemoths. I posted about how cool the Lightning was on social media when they announced it but never thought I could get one… 2 years later, the stars aligned and it’s in my driveway. It is every bit as cool, and twice as fast, as I expected… and my fuel bill has gone from $500-600 a month in gas/diesel to about $50-60 in electricity. It actually feels like I found a cheat code.

    Modern day dream car - Porsche Targa 4S

    I was 13 in 1990, upon its introduction, the R129 Mercedes-Benz 500SL became my dream car. In January of this year, I acquired a 2000 SL500. It’s an amazing feeling being able to finally own a car that at one time seemed so far out of reach (thank you depreciation!)!

    Probably the GR Corolla, and the C8 Z06
