I'll take a bucket.
A "T"- Bucket Roadster!
In spite of all the cool Japanese, Italian, compact, turbo, and AWD metal I've owned, my real love is in the Hot Rods.
Adding a few:
-Mk1 Scirocco.
-Volvo 1800ES
-Something with insane power. Thinking an AWD S10 with twin turbo 6.0 LSx.
-Ferrari Mondial Cabriolet.
In reply to SVreX:
Ooooh, yeah. Gimme a '29 Track-T, complete with flathead. I'd Megasquirt it and back it with a T5.

- Cummins diesel drivetrain
- Tube frame Spitfire with a proper suspension and my 4agze wedged in the front
- 80's Chysler minivan, tubbed with big ole nasty slicks in the back, a Mopar big block up front, cutouts so it's only loud when I want it to be, and a trailer mudflap going across the entire back of the van so you can't see the slicks from behind.
Forgot the Toyota X-Runner. I NEED one of those.
Realistic Before-I-Die list
2 seat roadster(miata/S2K/MR-S...)
Off-road toy, open air prefered(Jeep/Bronco...)
Classic Truck, 2WD/V8(I6?)/Auto

Classic V8 hot rod/muscle/pony car
AC 911
M/C list
Any Ducati
Indian "Styled" cruiser
I know there is a lot of room for overlapping and that is fine. I think this is a doable list.
*Edit, I decided to print this list off and save a copy.

Healey Sprite
Lotus Esprit
Lotus Elise
105-chassis Alfa
Citroen DS.
Any JDM-styled car from the '70s. Preferably old Skyline with tacked-on flares and Watanabes

Race prepped rally car (could be same as above)
Any mid engined Ferrari (308, 512, 360, 430, I'll even take a flappy paddle gearbox)
Bonus:
Good Cobra replica and Delorean (but those are just for showing off in front of the general population and my nerdy guy friends respectively :)
