Default Top 10 Automobiles You'd Like to Own in Your Lifetime

Well I was bored and thought of a cool thread idea. You have to name the top 10 automobiles you'd like to own in your lifetime and why you chose them.

Here's mine

1) 2011 Mercedes S600 AMG- Who wouldn't want one of these things??
2) 1979 Jeep J20- It's an awesome pickup, they're kinda rare, and I love the look!
3) 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer- Possibly my favorite Jeep, almost bought one last year
4) 1973 De Tomaso Pantera- My Grandpa was on it's devolopment team, Jay Leno currently owns one of my Grandpa's panteras. I'm not lying either.
5) 2011 Lamborghini Reventon Roadster-The car looks SICK. Its lambo's best design in a long time in my opinion.
6) 1958 Plymouth Fury - Since people have referred to my XJ as christine; of course I would have to own the actual one! Hahaha
7) 1987 Chrysler Conquest TSI - I've always loved DSM's, they're quick and slightly rare
8) 2011 Ford F150 SVT Raptor- Factory Trophy Truck, its just full of awesome.
9) Ken Block's 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Rally Car- I love rallying, I love the car too.
10) 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS LS1- They look sick, they're fast, they're rare.

1. '99 Jeep Cherokee Sport - already own it, but I'd like to CONTINUE owning it.
2. '88 Fiero GT 5 speed - I don't know why, but I absolutely love these cars.
3. '69 Camaro Z28 with the ZL-1 - only 69 were ever made - rare and awesome.
4. '96 Impala SS - this is just a cool car. Comfortable, strong, and easily made into a 6 speed.
5. '10 Corvette Convertible - the American sports car. Enough said.
6. '07 F-150 SuperCrew 4x4 - The numbers don't lie - one of the best trucks ever built.
7. My dad's '72 Chevy C-10 - I helped restore it from the ground up and would love to have it some day.
8. '69 El Camino SS - again, I can't say why, but the thing is awesome!
9. '10 Ford Focus RS500 - one word - WOW!!!
10. '91 Jeep Grand Wagoneer - the last of the SJ's and just plain cool.

1: 62 Plymouth: (fury, belvedere, savoy) So ugly they're a work of art, plus it's the very first car I remember riding in.
2: 68 Plymouth B-Body: (roadrunner, GTX, Satellite, Belvedere) Coke Bottle figure, round markers, and horse shoe tails, perfection.
3: 70-72 Buick A-Body: (Skylark, GS, GSX), all I can say is makes a 70 Chevelle look like a train wreck (and I do like the look of the 70 Chevelle).
4: 70 Olds Cutlass SX: a performance package, without telling everyone about it (but any A body cutlass 64-75 is a good start in the right direction).
5: 67-69 AMC Rebel: They're just cool, plain and simple.......
6: Any year AMC: Hornet, Concord, Gremlin, Spirit, or Eagle, I grouped these all together because they are of similar platform. They are all neat little cars, (I fixed one up for my gf, I love driving it, wish I got it for me, lol).
7: 78-80 Olds Cutlass Calais: had a supreme, loved it, the body lines remind me of the Cutlass SX.
8: 79-80 Olds Cutlass Salon: AKA The Buttless Cutlass, they are just oddly intriguing, like an over grown sub compact car, lol. (would settle for the buick century version too).
9: 81-88 Buick Regal: just like the 70-72 GS, they nailed the look, put the others to shame, an intercooled turbo car would be a big plus .
10: 33 or 34 Olds 2dr sedan: paired with my 455, and a 2wd cherokee front beam axle, I think it would be a cool street rod, er rat rod, lol.

There are others, but these are the ones I believe will be obtainable (have come close on every one, except #10).

The "money is no object list"

1: '65-'67 Shelby AC Cobra 427
2: 2006 Saleen S7 twin turbo
3: Bugatti Veyron
4: MClaren F1
5: 2011 ZR1 Vette (or the Z06 its a toss up)
6: Ferrari Enzo
7: Barabus TKR (insanely fast!!!!)
8: Ford Raptor (awesome truck. . . bad a$$)
9: 2011 Brabus E-class Benz
10: 2000 XJ (mine but done up)

That about covers it. Lots of cars to go insanely fast, 2 trucks to get me around in bad weather and go offroading, and a insanely nice luxury car for going out on the town. Of course this is "money is no object" living. . .lol

Awesome list. If I expanded to a top 20, those cars would be right in it!
