Whats your attainable dream car?
We all have dream cars that we would love to own one day, whether it be a Veyron or Lambo or Ferrari, etc. but those cars are pretty much just dreams since most normal people wont ever have the means to afford one.
So whats an attainable dream car of yours that you are pretty sure that one day you will own? Luxury, muscle, import, etc. For me it will be either a new R35 Skyline or a ZO6. When I'm going through my midlife crisis, I'm sure I'll probably throw down 60-70K for a car.
Unless I can find a new Ferrari under 70K but I dont see that happening

Completely blacked out, Black on Black on Black Corvette C5 FRC or C6.
I'm a big fan of Porsche, but I don't have a specific model in mind.
I would also kill for an M3.

If you want an enthusiasts Porsche, in the next couple of years the 959 will be legal for import. Not that they sell anywhere near decent. 
BUT, 964's come cheep and a German company, don't recall the name off hand, makes a conversion for 911 variants.
My long term goal is to get a Ferrari F40, but being that even today they sell for 400k, I have a short term (realistic) goal:
1.) If I'm a good boy and graduate Summa Cum Laude (currently holding a 4.0) I get to buy an R32 Skyline. GTR or no dice imho. Already a member of SOUSA I am saving up the funds for one that's state legal.
2.) After we buy a house and I get a better paying job in my actual field of study, I plan to buy a Tekamen DR30 Skyline for a project car. By that time the Tib and 944 will be complete, or close to.
3.) The wife wants a 4-door car along with my growing collection of non-daddy friendly road rockets, so I made her agree on a Mazdaspeed 3..... I just said the "speed" part really REALLY quiet.....
Don't judge me.

94 rx-7 or a S2K...not too picky.
would love a skyline and i bet i could get it tagged pretty easily here in no emissions kansas but the hassle to get one to me is not worth it.

i have been looking at these lately.. (used of course)
the price is deff not pocket change but 35k for a decent one is not bad considering that a brand new one runs close to $80k. not that i'm gonna buy it anytime soon. LOL 90% sure my next car is gonna be a german car.

I really think a R35 GT-R. For a long time it was an R34, and I still like a lot of things about the R34 better, but I think the R35 is a better choice for practical reasons.
And at the end of the day, out of anything I'm likely to afford even used any time soon it's the one car that turns my head and makes me feel jealous every time I see it.
