It's really not high buck, but I'd love to have a Chevy HHR.

If money weren't a concern I would have a garage full of old restored classics kept in top running condition. Nothing past 1973.

A brand new SUV without a black interior. lol

I'd buy an old 67 Mustang too in perfect shape so I could relive my youth. :-)

If money wasn't a concern I would have a horse and buggy!

I'd like to have a "green" car. Not sure which or what kind.

Second choice would definitely be a Honda Accord. I think it's the best car going.

A new mustang. Even besides the money, they are too small for the 5 of us plus dog.

A Volkswagen Bug in a funky colour or an Audi TT.

The best hybrid I could find, and an old 60s GTO or Camero just for Sunday fun. Any maybe Casey NFLD would let me borrow the Bug once in a while!

The one I'm driving right now ... just got it, won't be able to relax until it's paid off five years from now. :-(

A pretty white Toyota Sequoia:

Or maybe an Avalon

to tell you the truth, i like the mini-van i have...but i also loved our suburban we had 15 years ago...

Anything with all wheel or front wheel drive would make me happy.

Something the comes with a driver. ;-)

I've been wanting a VW also, but only if it's an automatic.

Bigack, sit in a Chevy HHR before you think seriously about buying one. DH bought his a couple of years ago, the panel version. He does love it, but it has a few "design" flaws. The emergency brake is in a position as to make it difficult to use the cupholders without some maneuvering, which means you pretty much have to take your eyes off the road to place the cup in the holder. Not good. Also, the mirrors that are on the visors are at a "strange" angle. Maybe only us women will care, but if I want to check my makeup, after I put the visor down I have to lean over to DH's side of the car. Weird.

Still, he loves that car.

I really don't care what kind of car I'm driving, as a rule. It's just something to get me where I need to go. That said, I just can't help it - whenever I see a Mini Cooper, I just go, "Awwwww....". I think they're so danged cute.

Like Jodi, I would just like to have mine paid for. I bought it last November. It's an '05 Certified.

I love my Kia van and probably wouldn't change.

If money were no concern, I'd be driving exactly what I do drive--a Voodoo Blue Toyota FJ Cruiser (mine's a 2007). Wouldn't trade that in for anything else. However, if a bunch of $$$ just dropped into my lap, I'd buy one of the original FJ's, have it restored and enjoy having both the original antique, and the remake.

I would have a neat little sports car if I could find one that didn't make me feel like was sitting on the pavement.

An old Porter would be good too.

This Chrysler:

1956 Corvette is on my Wish List, has been for years. I have a 2000 Vet with very low mileage.

I'm with Marilyn_Sue...give me a horse and buggy. Seriously, I would love to live in a place where I could have a few horses and as for a car, I'd keep my new Toyota Highlander Limited! I love it!

Susan

I wouldn't drive, I would have a chauffeur.

My mini cooper, I love it.

I don't know... it's hard to say. I change my mind about what vehicles I like all the time.

I'll probably always drive a truck because I haul stuff all the time, but if I had lots of money, I'd buy a couple of older cars and build a nice metal building to keep them in. My favorite car of all time was a '76 cutlas salon.

Casey - you'd probably love mine. I do!

I must admit though, if money were not a concern, I would have a chauffer driven limosine. hehe

A Tesla Roadster -- all electric sports car built right here in Silicon Valley.

I have the HHR! It was very affordable ($5000 down brought it to less than $300 a month). I love driving it and thought it was unique until I saw a LOT of them around.
I agree about the cupholders - but I still like the car.
Mine has lots of extras I didn't expect - heated leather seats for one.
BUT...I haul a lot of stuff so if money and gas milege was no object I would have an Escalade - a creamy white one as long as the back seats fold flat.
This is the model I bought - the Shadow.

My car's job is, as Dad used to say, to get me from here to there and back without a hassle.

I like my '88 Mazda, bought a year ago with about 125,000 mi. on it for $2,500.00, perhaps a bit of a high price, but my trusted friend said it was in good shape.

Got in an accident, including twisted back wheel, the advice was to scrap it ... but I felt that it had some good miles left in it, and in the light of the precious petroleum that it'd take to build that portion of a new one, with attendant pollutants added to the environment and the additions to global warming, paid about $3,000. to repair it, as my contribution to environmental responsibility, as it required quite a lot of labour but not a substantial amount of metal, plastic, etc.

With its 1.6 litre engine, it sips gas ... and with its standard transmission, enabling me to shut off the engine for half of a block as I approach a yellow-red signal light, and downhill when there's no vehicle following me resulting in even fewer visits to the gas station ...

... I have a vehicle that suits me fine.

Dad also used to say, "Handsome is ... as handsome does".

No ongoing monthly outlay to pay for its purchase, either ... which is beside the point, given the parameters of the proposition.

2009 BMW 3 Series Sedan

Cars ( tiny little two seater sport rat top convertable, red with black interior) used to be something I just loved.

Now? As long as it has air conditioning and has enough room to bring home what I need to bring home plus room for my big dog, I'm good. I passed the time when what I drove is at all important to me, kinda sad isn't it? I HONESTLY don't care, as long as it's cheap to fill and the milage is great. I used to stick to stick shift and recently got my first automatic - it sure is easier to drive.

But, I sure would love to take a spin in a tricked out Bentley. Not drive it, heaven forbid - I'd be so nervous I'd crash it. But, be a passenger for just a few miles so that I could try to see what all that money gives back.

If it came with a mechanic, I'd have fun with a Rolls Silver Shadow or another Healey 3000 or Jaguar XJS 12-cyl.

Oh, no I wouldn't. I'd feel guilty about the pollution. I'm not sure I could still get in and out of either of the last two!

Hey! Thanks, mtnwoman for the TESLA info. I'll have to look for that around Chicago. (Wasn't Tesla the great inventor of all things electric? Hounded by Edison?)

Funny this would come up right now, because I'm looking at a car to replace my beloved 1997 Subaru Outback, which is on its last legs.

I'm going to replace it with another Outback.

So, if money were no issue, I'd likely still be driving a Subaru Outback, only a top end one.

And, I'd have a classic Corvette in the garage, too. :-D

A 1969 Ford stepside pickup

PT Cruiser or a 1930s to 1940s or so Bently.
