Most are 500k+ so more than 2!

If I win the lottery, I'm not sure if I'm calling my wife first, or Singer to put my name on the list. Coincidentally enough I already have the 964 model they use as their foundation. So I figure I'm driving half a Singer already really.

My dream car never needs fueling and never needs maintaining. Wake me up when we get there.

I had 1 experience with a 930 Turbo, I think it was an 81 or an 82. We took it on trade, and I decided to take it for a quick boot. Pull off the lot, put it to the the floor. Nothing's happening, lag,lag,lag braaaAAAAAAAAP! And now I'm facing backwards on Macleod Trail.

The car did 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds, but probably 3 of those seconds were lag from the enormous turbo's. Such a SUPER sketchy car. But awesome.

For an affordable dream car, I've always been a fan of the Shelby Mustang, and I really like this look:

The 69 Dodge Superbee holds a sentimental value for me as it was one of the first cars I ever got to drive. A buddy back in HS had a green one like the one below and let me put it through the paces on a deserted country road not long after I got my drivers license.

81 or 82 doing 4.5 seconds to 60? I'm going to time filter that to an intense 6 seconds

930 turbos were incredibly fast even by modern day standards. By the mid 80's they were in the mid 4 seconds for 0-60. The biggest hurdle they had was rubber and getting the power to the ground.

I'm not huge into old cars, but I'd love to have this thing in my garage.



It would be sitting next to a Jag:

The FF is such an underrated car. If I was going to buy a Ferrari, and not use it as a track day car, that's the one I would get. I've seen one driving here in winter so it's not crazy to use it year round.

The Youtuber Shmee150 just got one for his daily driver.
