Not sure whether this thread is about what we own and have on the drive way, random pictures of cars, or what we would want if the wallet would allow it, but if it's the latter, here's what I would want to own:
The Hummer H1 Alpha
I would need to take the license for a light truck, and something like that would cost about $50.000 here...but damn, what I can I say?
I like big things. Top speed isn't an issue, I just want the ground clearance and sheer presence of an H1. The H2 looks pre-crumpled, and the H3 looks pre-crashed, so I want the H1, where all the corners are still angled properly.
My own car is nothing to write home about: a 2008 VW Caddy van, 1.9 TDi. Which I wholeheartedly regret buying, as I have had nothing but trouble with it.
Things that I have had to replace on it: both ESP-modules, the ABS-pump, oil cooler, rear suspension, front radiator, the entire braking system, interiour light sensor for the front door and rear access hatch, driver seat belt assembly, and the outlet for the sigarette lighter. And I don't even smoke, it just shorted out first time I tried it with a USB-charger.
That said, I was told earlier here on the forum to get more american lights...so if Rigid Industries is redneck enough for y'all, that is just about everything I have had fitted on the Caddy. 4x Rigid D-XL in the front, D-pod spots as foglights, and D-pod diffused as additional low beam headlights. The lights I have on my car are worth more than the car itself now. Estimate of 60.000 raw Lumen in total in additional illumination.
Not the most horsepower in the Caddy either. I once caught up with another car in a 60 (KPH) zone (I did...not insignificantly more than 60) that did NOT want to be overtaken, not by a diesel van. I put on the blinkers, and immediately just heard a shriek, then a roar from the car in front. And it was just gone. I didn't even bother trying to keep up. Only caught 3 letters on the back of it:
A M G
Googled it when I got home, and it was one of these (may be the wrong model in the pic):
E63 AMG Wagon - had exactly 5 times the engine ponies on me (525 to my 105 BHP - the sounds I heard was the supercharger shriek, and the tires slipping briefly before the ESP figured out the grip and it sped off).
Such is the power of power...and it was impressive to behold!
