What did you want when you were 16?

ummm, this is not the off topic area, this is car comparison forums, gosh.

I'm really sorry, if he responds, I'll take it to private message.

Anyways, I thought about the question more, and I'd probably take one of the high-end Japanese sports cars. Supra RZ, RX-7 Spirit R, Impreza WRX STi, Integra Type R (or even NSX Type R!), Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition...I don't think I could pick just one, though

Just for the record, I'm going to delete all of the political comment posts from this thread. It's far off topic, inflammatory, and we have a whole different forum for political mudslinging if that's what everyone wants to do.

And, while I'm on the subject, let's stop right here - right now, with the pointless "import versus domestic" debate. People are allowed to dream about whatever car they want. When I was six I thought it'd be the coolest thing in the world to own an Amphicar.



All a matter of taste and opinion. Hardly anything to debate there.

Layla: That's the coolest thing I've ever seen.

I wanted a Honda Civic Si-R, I got a VW Jetta 1.8, probably a good thing, as I'd have killed myself with the Civic. I don't want an Si-R any more though, that's doing things by halves. Give me an EK9 Civic or DC2 Integra Type R any day.

That was my realistic dream car though. My fantasy car back then was an Aston Martin DB5.

when i was 16, just last year, i wanted a 2001 type s prelude, but the only thing i could affor was a 1984 b2000 mazda truck with a primer hood. If i could choose now it would have to be the same.

now that i think about it i would have a datsun 510.

Im still 15 and i got a 95 civic dx for my birthday. If my mom would have had money for any car that I wanted I would have chosen a BMW. I know what it looks like but I dont know the model name. A black one with 20" black rims with a polished lip would have been the best.

My dream car back then, was a '61 Jaguar E-type, series 1, 3.8 roadster, in scarlet red, with black leather. To me, that car was, and still is, sex on wheels.

PS. you're not helpin on the BMW front 95dxcivic. Check out the BMW home page, then tell us which one it is. Or give us some pointers. Eg. Coupe, cabrio, saloon, estate. Engine size would help too. BMW's are a good brand to be into though.

I'm 17, and last year I had a longing for a silvia......atleast I have an sr motor

[GirlInAHotRod]

I just wanted something to drive! I would not buy a 16 year old anything great. They're prolly going to abuse it for a while anyway.

[Savage Messiah]

when i was 16... i just started getting into cars my friends got, as theyre all older than me. haha actually wanted something to at least keep up pretty well on after-tech sprints to the diner... was lookin around for anything to get me aroudn tho,had an extremely limited budget... saw this car or sale at my neighbor's house, my mom had a talk with the owner, and my aprents surprised me on my bday with a loan and the title. Havent hurt anyone yet - but then again its just a weak 6

[chevydrummer76]

well at first I wanted a 5.0 Mustang when I was 16, but then I changed my mind and got what I have now, 1976 chevy shorty pickup. I've always liked the look of a lowered 73-87 chevy short bed pickup. The aftermarket is endless, and I get compliments everywhere I go.

[Polygon]

I wanted a red Lamborghini Countach.

[FR33WAY]

as a kid growing up I knew every single car in my area except for one. It would turn out to be a Chrysler Conquest (Mitsu Starion) and from about the age of 5 or 6 that car has always interested me.
