Our Cars (dream or actual)

@Matt I drive a 2012 Outback. Can’t say there’s a Subaru, WRX included, that excites me though. But in all seriousness an overlanding / apocalypse vehicle would be more interesting to me than these amazing cars.
@WhiskeySandwich makes much sense in Motor Sport since it’s a track only car. I’ve not only watched that but Gordon’s equivalent on the T.50:
Both fascinating. I would take the T.50 though just because it’s a road car.

@mclaincausey oh wow, I'd heard of it but hadn't given it a look yet. I'm not a huge VW Beetle fan, but damn that one looks amazing. lol I love how compact it is. It looks like a proper car and not some science experiment. It looks like a worthy McLaren F1 update.

OUR BOATS (DREAM).....

Yeah getting into Murray’s head was really interesting in the video. Things like refusing to put stalks on the steering column and instead placing turn signal controls on the wheel, eschewing screens, why he wanted a naturally aspirated V12, etc. he really was trying to make the ultimate analog sports car.
-
@mclaincausey I love that select designers are trying to steer back toward the raw analog experience. I wonder if it's all just clinging to the old as a last hurrah before we're overrun completely by EV people-movers, or if they'll be able to bring at least the performance segment back to things like this.
-
It’s a last hurrah IMO. I feel like the T.50 is Murray’s magnum opus for a perfected street analog driving experience. The video is really telling about his philosophy. An amazing fellow.
-
Awesome! Great stuff all around!
Before getting into the whole denim thing I was heavy into classic cars, buying, selling, restoring.
Still have a couple that are keepers… as of now, lol.
My all time dream car-1962 Chevy Impala Convertible.
1972 Chevy K5 Blazer 4wd
1972 Chevy K10 SWB Cheyenne 4wd
1979 Chevy C10 SWB Silverado
1970 Chevy K5 Blazer 2wd

Haha! Thanks, fellas.
Hey, I’ve come around on the Ford Motor Co. as of late.
I’m looking at getting into a ‘36 3-window coupe in the near future… fitted with a Chevy power plant, of course, lol! Kidding. -
Can’t get over this engine sound. More F1 than F1. Goosebumps inspiring and this track variant is an excellent tribute to Lauda.

@jaliskoe Beautiful collection of cars you got there, and like @tody, also coming from a Ford guy.
No pics of the Hummer EV pickup I've noticed in the background of some of your posts?
Thank you, brother.
The H-EV is definitely a fun ride! Super happy about getting into one of these beasts!

@jaliskoe your quiver of rides is soooo tough!!! Well done, some real head turners + gems

I had the opportunity to do another BMW M Track Day at Circuit of the Americas yesterday. Here's a little clip of the fastest run on the main straight where we were hitting mid 150's mph. The instructor was giving me shit about running out of talent and real estate at the end but it was a great time!
-
damn looks good.

I got the chance to do something similar around Goodwood for my 21st birthday. Thought I was absolutely ragging it, and after my first lap the instructor says "you are allowed to go more than 60 mate"
Had a weird transmission with a handbrake style gear changer. Hit 140 on the final lap, great buzz
-
Great stuff @Clint_D !! We’ll do that next time I drop into Austin!!
