The Last Automobile You'll Ever Own.

[maradine]

Congratulations, you've won a prize!

You have been given a nice garage, a team of virtuoso mechanics, and a magic credit card that amazingly only works for the purchases of trailer/flatbed service, oil, petrol, spares, and tires. Who knows where the bill goes, but it certainly doesn't go to you. Somehow, your local and national tax collection agencies never notice.

You are also given one vehicle, of your choice, of any value. There are only two catches:

1. It needs to have 2 or 4 wheels.
2. It will be the only vehicle of any kind you're permitted to operate for the rest of its (or your) mechanical life.

So - what winds up in your garage?

Hmm, so no daily driver car? I'd imagine trying to drive a low-rise sports car throughout the hilly terrain around here to be annoying as frack, not to mention the potholes!

I do like the look of the Lexus LFA though...

Dang, so does that mean I can't pull a Magrider?

I would not be opposed to driving around in a DeLorean. Something about the steel construction makes me feel safer on the road with a bunch of crazies Not to mention I'd be driving 88mph almost everywhere with a watch in the car set to the time and day of when I want to be haha

The same car I already in it...

Yea yea, you would think oh why not go for a 2 door sports car? impractical and unsafe for everyday use. This has more power and torque to match most V8 2 doors in acceleration, but on a large car chassis.



For you Americans wondering, its a Ford FPV F6. Though maybe i might upgrade it to an F6E.

I've always wondered why Ford releases its nicest models overseas. Australia, man, how does it even work?

Still working on my answer. I love my S5, but she wouldn't be my one true garage queen.

I've already got my Magnum, 5.7 liter HEMI with about 350 HP and 400 lb/ft of torque going to always-active AWD. It's one badass station wagon.

But honestly, I haven't been keeping up on car news to say what I'd buy.

Probably a Nissan GT-R.

First off, that is beautiful.

Anyway, maybe the new four door Aston Martin, or an Evo.

I like to be prepared for any situation and have a Marauder of my very own, first thing Red & Black paint job

Yea right? What is this all about. An American company pumping out sweet rides in another country.. doesn't make sense.

Theres talk of them discontinuing the falcon here and it been replaced with one of the american models like the Taurus or one of your other large car platforms.

V6 twin turbo AWD or something i think they were talking about at one stage, does sound pretty cool, even if AWD is alittle homo.

I was a RWD snob for years until my first sub-five second 0-60 sprint in six inches of snow. I'm pretty much hooked on having a center differential. While I was still up north, the weather literally couldn't turn to shit fast enough for me. Of course, now I live somewhere that never gets below 50. Oops.

The new Ford EcoBoost engines started pretty lame but there are American-spec V6s now pushing 420 ft.lbs. I would love to see Ford return to the RS2000 days where they were cramming serious turbos into small chassis. Preferably without neutering their big N/A V8s, but those days are sadly numbered.

I'm guessing you don't live above the snow belt.

Up here, RWD is tons of fun until you spend your winters spinning your tires in slush.

Besides, I can hit 60 in five and a half seconds while other guys are still spinning their tires, regardless of the weather.

It's fun to own people with a station wagon.
