Corsi, I think I saw you driving your Z a few days ago in Kensington (you were probably looking for a parking spot, ha). Car looks great!

It's the same with cars. Nice sound is completely unnecessary in terms of getting you from Point A to Point B, but its hugely important in terms of adding to the experience of it all.

BMW's electric car just produces engine sounds through the car's internal speakers, which reportedly works well. Not the first car to do it either. Tesla could probably provide it to all models with the next software update if they wanted, so it's not necessarily a significant challenge at all. You could even just have a switch for it.

My business partner just bought the Jag - gets it at the end of the month.

Someone needs to make this car in real life, and then I'll buy two...

I fell in love with the Unimog as a young soldier:
That would be a lovely camper that can go anywhere, the thing is a beast off road.
I don't really have a dream daily driver.

Pre emissions rigging scandal I'd have said a VW Golf TDI. 
At this point I'm waiting for Tesla to get into the compact car game to declare a "dream car", nothing out there currently excites me that much. But I'm not a car guy.

I wouldn't go that far, but it does indeed look a little like a flattened old school autobot face from certain angles.

Just one? Not possible. Here are some definite residents of my dream garage. One where money is no object, while the other is a bit more realistic.
Money no object:
Weekend Car
Ferrari "The Ferrari"
SUV/Wagon/Truck
This one was tough, hard to decide between this, the Cayenne Turbo S or the Supercharged Range Rover. This truck is insane though.
Hennessy Velociraptor
Daily Driver
A Motherf***in' Helicopter.
Dream garage, grounded in reality:
Weekend Car
Can't decide between these $150K cars:
the GT-R
or the 2017 ZR1 (pic is the Z06):
SUV/Wagon/Truck
Volvo V60 Polestar in the Rebel Blue. I love this car:
Daily Driver
Easy. Give me an M3.
Out of all of those I'd probably realistically be aiming to own the Volvo, however it is sold out.

Mmmmm. Too bad they never sold the RS6 Avants here.
Fast wagon showdown anyone?
As for Jon Olsson, I love his lambo!

1991 Acura NSX - I really want to buy one now. This was the top of the top for me in the 90s.
AMG Hammer - I think I watched too much Miami Vice growing up, but I love this car in black. Only in black.
