Don't forget the Dino! But yeah, the Dino and the 250GT are the short list, for sure.
That car always reminds me of Ferris Buellers Day Off:
Cameron: [Ferris slowly pulls the Ferrari out of the garage] No, Ferris. I'm putting my foot down. You're just gonna have to think of something else.
[Ferris keeps driving]
Cameron: Ferris! We could call a limo! One of those stretch jobs with the TV and the bar. How about that?
Ferris: [Ferris pulls the car back slightly] Come on. Live a little!
I love old Citroën's. My mate has a DX in fantastic condition. I'd love an SM!
The car on this photo is one of the most beautifull cars ever built.
At least, that is my opinion.
On the other hand, I want a 1970 volkswagen beetle 1300 in original condition.
It's a '58 model SWB...
I've unfortunately sent my laptop in to be upgraded - the pics are on that. will post more when I get it back in a week.
I'm also particularly fond of the '61 250 GT Berlinetta SWB.
There is one very rare Ferrari though that I would love to get my hands on. The late 50's 410 SuperAmerica... Have any of you seen one ?
Check out the picture
It's gotta be one of the most beautiful cars ever built !

wow!
That is nice.
The old Ferraris a very beautiful cars. I can't say the same for the new ones.
The newest Ferrari I really like wasn't even designed or built by them.
The rear end looks a bit of a dog's dinner though
BTW, I love that WRX man. If I were to get another car that isn't going to be euro it would be a WRX (the actually rally edition w/ the gold rims) or a 350z in black 
However, all the cars for the rest of my life will be euro I am sure of it;
Porsche
Lotus
BMW
Edit: Any one else out there know how much my situation sucks; At one point my Papa (grandpa) had a really nice '86 corvette (not a fan but still a VERY nice car) and my dad had a '76 Pontiac Lemans convertible with a dropped in 455 GTO engine. That thing was crazy fast. However, just when I turned 17 (and was able to drive by myself) they sold them both. Now, all we have is a Trailblazer..and a huge dodge truck.. -_- I don't have a nice car at all in the family!
I am trying to get my Papa to sell his truck, which he never drives, some Daytona edition Dodge Ram, and his old-as-me Chevy passenger van for a BMW 325 or M5 haha, and I am still working on getting my mom a Mercedes SL, however she wants a Honda Pilot WHY?!, just so I can drive around my little town in style (At least until I am 22 and can go get my Lotus.)

New guy here. I'll introduce myself by posting a pic of me and my car.
Thats my friends car behind mine. Same make/model.

my new toyota tacoma
traded in my 02 maxima SE (it had been through so much, windows based carpc, mac mini based carpc, regular aftermarket media stuff, etc), soo much of a fun car to drive. <sniff>, but i digress.. i ended up stepping up to this friggin' awesome truck. what can i say, i needed a truck for house related stuffs and backpacking/camping stuffs. (click the image for more pics)
a few minor aesthetic changes will be added to it soon enough.

Definitely. I'm not a truck person myself, but when someone is looking for a truck, I always tell 'em to go for Toyota. They last forever.
I went with a friend to test drive an '07 Tacoma a while back (V6/Auto.) and man, it ran great. It was a very nice truck, as well. He ended up getting a used Silverado, though.
I'm a big fan of Toyota Tacoma.. I'm thinking of getting one of those to replace my Santa Fe.. it'd be great for carrying bikes and kayaks!
Lotus's are really fun to drive, but that is it. It sucks everywhere else. Getting in and out of the Elise and Exige is a chore. Starting it is a chore( why bother having a push button start if you have to turn a key anyway?). Plus, you need to hit the unlock/lock button on the fob to start it. You also need the fob to lock it and unlock it. Can't manually push the thing down to lock it. On the Esprit, to release the E-Brake you have to lift the handle, then press the button to release the brake. Except on the S, the 4 banger sounds like crap( then again what N/A 4 banger sounds good?). But, the clutch is super easy. Not super tight like the C6 Corvette. Though I am getting used to the C6's clutch.
The joy of working at my Chevy/Hummer/Lotus dealership.
Due to that job, I now hate Hummers. God, they're hard to park. Blind spots anyone( especially the H3)?
My Satin White arrived today! Traded-in my '02 Acura RSX (Premium).
I recommended the '08 Nissan Altima Coupe to my sister and next thing you know, I ended up picking it up as well. LOL
The Niagra Grey is hers, 2.5S with CVT & Premium. I have the 3.5 SE, also CVT (I'm sorry) and Premium Package too.

Cue the classic Top Gear segment:
Killing a Toyota... Part 1
Still not dead... Part 2
Yep, you guessed it... Part 3
No need to be sorry about the CVT, I'd totally get it!
BTW, the new Altima coupes look NICE...good choice!
