The WANT Thread

**G.Irish** · 08-11-2011, 06:16 PM

This is a thread for automotive things that you WANT. Maybe you'll buy it, maybe you won't, but it should at least be in the realm of something you could realistically purchase someday. But, if the only thing you want is a FXX, no one here will judge you.

Anyway, maybe some of you saw some of this art on autoblog: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/25/street-spirit-race-car-artist-draws-inspiration-from-graffiti/">http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/25/street-spirit-race-car-artist-draws-inspiration-from-graffiti/</a>

I actually met Xander at Sebring, and bought one of his pieces recently. Just saw that he made a new one that I really like, and I'm not even a big Audi fan:

Speaking of which, has anyone seen or heard from Madden lately? He makes some insanely nice art, I'd like to see what he's doing these days.

Lifestyle -

Theres tons of automotive art/apparel I'd like to have - Nicolas Hunziker comes to mind. I could put his works all over a house or apartment

AUTOart makes a lot of cool stuff too - models, trinkets, auto themed home decor, etc. I want both of these. Or all of them

997.1 GT3 RS

Yeah I feel like at some point I'll be able to work a garage with a ceiling high enough that I can put a lift in it. Unless I move into a townhouse, I figure I can either get my dream garage mahal built, or do a renovation project that raises the roof. To pay for it, I will charge all of you to come use it.

or a car like Rex's FIL's. Looking at other classics now too after that WTB post stirred up the want.

For sure, always wanted a Mustang, but the new Boss 302 is the coolest one they offer.

I actually need a bigger box than the one I have, it's just about full.

Yeah, I would actually join the BMW club if I had some extra money. :dunno:

Don't judge me, I like my dirt late model racing.

What box do you have now? Just yesterday my Classic 96 bulk model got here! I waited over a month as the color was "custom order" or some stupid shit, Deep Purple. I got a CRAZY deal on my trade so I had to pull the trigger. Waiting on the stainless top next.

Figured I could ask one question without starting a new thread? I had a HUGE amount of want for the tool box prior to two days ago...when the want turned to haz.

And an MG 42 could easily be mounted on my Jeep. an M2 would probably be more appropriate.

A guy that owns a custom shop here called Speed Stylez was at a party i was at the other day...he has that exact car with some sick custom wheels, eyelids, blacked out grill and a drop. The want was there.

Evan · 08-12-2011, 12:04 PM

lol people still put eyelidz on their cars?

that shit was ricey and lame in 2003

***SlimKlim*** · 08-12-2011, 12:19 PM

I want 95% of the Flyin Miata catalog, A eurosport supercharger for the M3, a low mileage wrecked '99 M3 with a minty fresh interior to steal, a paint job, and some CSLs.

Oh, and an E38 740i Sport, an LS1 with a blower, and $20k to throw at it.

And a sweet ass garage to build them all in.

....and an Aventador.

Ken · 08-12-2011, 12:38 PM

I want a Tesla, seems like such a sweet commuter ride.

One similar to this:

Philadelphia Eagles version though, so its dark green, but I covered up the football crap with pictures of cars and stuff.

Steve85 · 08-12-2011, 02:08 PM

For the basement renovation, definitely want to do a more modern automotive theme with artwork like above, not old signs, license plates and neon clocks.

Torn on where to go with next engine:
This is a much better engine all around (LS1/2/3 would be in the price range)

but this is plenty and "fits" the car much better (an enlarged TPI unit)

For the garage within reason:

I think finding a lower mileage Boss 302 in a few years shouldn't be too hard, either in orange or dark blue. Hopefully they'll have the transmission problems sorted by then. Although oddly enough, the couple GT's and V6 models I've driven have been fine.

BLINGMW · 08-13-2011, 09:21 PM

Question too open ended for me
[Image: mac_error.gif]

My WANT would too significantly and unpredictably change with technology and available money. I want a spaceship! :dunno:

And we already covered our car WANTS for somewhat near future in the other thread....

so I got nothin. :oops:
