If not P-cars, what is you primary auto interest?
 
I know this is a P-car and BMW site, but if those arent your main automotive genre , what is?

While I love my Porsche,( its my third) my first and main love is muscle cars and hotrods in general. Especially old Fords. Second is trucks. followed by bikes.

I'm just an overall gearhead. I like anything that moves, floats, flys, etc, etc...

vash 11-14-2012 12:19 PM

easy!! early 4x4's!! early bronco, FJ40's..or some landrover defender would make me forget aircooled for awhile.

i also love early hotrods. 69 Z-28, pontiac JUDGE..whatever. i would love it. but i have a wee one-car garage.

onewhippedpuppy 11-14-2012 12:20 PM

Another gearhead here. I love Porsches, but also enjoy just about anything else that is fun or unique. I work in the aircraft industry because I enjoy planes and flying as well. People that are brand snobs are totally missing out.

VINMAN 11-14-2012 12:21 PM

My next vehicle purchase will be an early Bronco one way or another.

I always loved the mid-to-late 60s muscle cars & pony cars, from the Big 3. I had two Mustang coupes, a '65 and a '66.

I'd love to have a '65-on Corvair Corsa w/ 4-spd.

I have a wandering eye towards anything 4x4, my wife has to slap me back to reality. My old '91 FJ80 was on Craigslist a few months ago for $1500 less than I sold it for, that was a tough one to resist.....

Monster Trucks!!!

Grave digger is soooooo kewl!

But seriously...

I know I will get flamed for this... but I am loving the new American retro muscle cars.

If I had $50-60 K burning a hole in my pocket I would run out and buy one of these (in order of preference)

1.Corvette
2.Camero (Yes I know, but an old flame from my youth)
3.Cadillac CTS (Yes, my dad was a GM guy) The more I think about it this may be #1
4.Dodge Challenger
5.Mustang

Honorable mention, the V6 group

370Z
Hyundai Genesis coupe

I like old English cars such as Austin Healy 106 , Jaguar XKE , Mini Cooper , bug eyed Sprite and even Morris Minor , Land Rovers . 1950's pick ups and late 60's cameros.
Damn I like them all as I have been car crazy all my life.

My interest of Porsche begins and ends with the pre 89 911. Any other car made by Porsche has zero interest. All my other interest is with BMW's and some Audi's. IF money was no object, there would be a Ferrari in my garage but you got the draw the line somewhere.:(

imcarthur 11-14-2012 12:31 PM

None.

All of the other cars I own/have owned - Audi & BMW included - are appliances. Some are more fun than others but still appliances. I just want the damn things to work. To me, the classic 911 stands alone.

air cooled VWs and old pickup trucks! I also like big American Chrysler products of the 40s and 50s.

Trucks, SUVs, (4WD) but have no interest in fixing or doing anymore then driving them. I love to restore a Power wagon or any light duty Military service trucks when i grow up one day.

Oh, a 40s truck would be cool to monkey with.

rouxroux 11-14-2012 12:42 PM

^^^^^That is the same color as my first car, a '62 bug!


My main interest is Corvairs, mainly the '65-'69 models.

nota 11-14-2012 12:51 PM

my toy is a modern hot rod
mid eng DOHC 4v v8 300 hp 5 speed

a fiero with a caddy northstar swap almost a bolt in
it has custom tube a-arms coil overs vett 13'' brakes

the 944 is the wife's ride

Still get a thrill from my 911 whenever I fire it up (84 3.2l).

But for real thrills, it's hard to beat a Formula Car.

Ran SCCA races for a number of years. Been getting the itch to jump back in....financial realities be damned!

Also drive an E39 M5 (2002). Gotta love the torque! The one thing lacking from a 3.2l 911...... :D

the first 'car' I bought when I was young was a air-cooled VW Westphalia camper. One day I'd love to get an old 25-ish window bus!

I just recently picked up an 83 Ferrari 308 QV. Lots of fun and relatively easy to work on! If I had room (and more $$ laying around), I'd happily get a few more F models :)

Of course I still want to have one of every Porsche model...

BReif61 11-14-2012 04:43 PM

As a kid in high school in the early 2000s, the import scene was first and foremost. And while I do have a soft spot for one Honda (third generation Acura Integras), my second love is the first generation DSM. Still have a 1990 Eclipse as an eternal project.

Watching the Magnus/Leno video today got me thinking this very question... I came to the conclusion that Magnus is my Ying and Leno is my Yang...
