Favorite vehicle

Kramerman · January 17, 2003, 01:38

Every self-respecting man in this world has a favorite vehicle. This is a fact. Why? because they are fast, sporty, sleek, powerful, expensive, etc.

I first saw this car at Disney World When I was 15 years old. I fell in love with it instantly, and dream for the day that I will have my own (very unlikely, heh

)

What is your favorite?

Bussard ramjet.

Isn't that the Batmobile in silver?

I am a big fan of the Mini Coupe as far as cars go (And ones I could ever hope to buy). Other cars I like are the 911 and 956 (I think).

heh, almost. But unlike the batmobile, this thing doesnt have a jet engine. And its real.

Its got a fuel injected, high performance Chevrolet V-8 engine instead

Oh...so that means it will be in the shop a third of the time, right?

I am a big fan of my truck.

Aston Martin has decent cars..

I kind of like that ship, "the Scimitar" from Star Trek: Nemesis. I'll take few hundred of those in order to conquer the world

Mmmmm.... 1935 Auburn Boattail Speedster.

I dig my '89 Ford Taurus. It's bi***in'.

this car is a little more attainable for me. Although this is a slightly different version called the Venom.

This is a Venom 650 for 650 HP

Dis · January 17, 2003, 02:37

this turns me on almost as much as naked women

my favourite car as a kid:

You all talk of cars, my dream VEHICLE would be a vintage Spitfire or P-51 Mustang WW2 fighter plane. I heard a P-51 goes at around $750,000. Tom Cruise has one.

no, no, no, Id merely need one of these (fully crewed and stocked, of course) to conquer the planet... and perhaps a few more...

Dis · January 17, 2003, 02:52

here's one

Dis · January 17, 2003, 02:54

would this be considered a vehicle?

Kramerman · January 17, 2003, 02:54

Dissident,

Ill hopefully, if all goes well, be flying one of those someday (the F-22). That is one fine piece of technology.

Dis · January 17, 2003, 02:58

being a navy guy who was on an aircraft carrier full of these things I should post a picture of my favourite modern navy fighter. It's getting old, but it still looks cooler than the F-18.

at one point I used to sleep on the O3 level just below the flight deck you see in this picture.

believe it or not you get used to hear that jet slam down and catch the arresting gear. Eventually I moved down to the second deck where most reactor guys stayed. That was quieter except for the fact shaft #4 on the USS Enterprise is bent

. That could be very noisy when going fast enough to do flight operations. But actually the rumbling of the screws were just like a vibrating bed.

Now this is a funny looking picture. I guess it is because of the perpsective. Or maybe the airdales are holding the plane up by the wing.

My '67 Falcon could kick your Taurus' ass. I've got a CD player.

*sigh* I can't believe I miss this stuff.

Why did I ever get out. The problem is I love living in Las Vegas. It was kind of a hard thing to do while in the navy

Hueij · January 17, 2003, 03:12

One day, one day I'm going to drive one of these...sigh...

The look cooler, and they are better in my opinion, even tho they are an aging species... to bad they are the size of tennis courts...
