Personal vehicle for any time I don't need to transport more than 1 passenger or park in a dodgy neighborhood: 2016 C7 Z06/Z07, 3LZ, Laguna Blue over Kalahari (amber) with Yellow Calipers, DeWitts Radiator, wrapped ARH 2" Long Tubes, LG Drop Spindles, CCW SP500 Hybrids with Satin Black spokes and Gloss Black lips.


You'll have to imagine the yellow calipers, amber interior, and black 5 spokes with polished bolts.

Personal vehicle when I have to transport more people: 2015 GS350 AWD, Luxury Package, Liquid Platinum (silver) over Flaxen (amber), Modellista front lip, Tanabe NF210 springs, Concavo CW5s.

This is the only picture I could find of a GS350 with a Modellista lip. I'm sure you can imagine that in silver.

Tow rig: Some kind of 2015 GM 3500 diesel dually dropped on semi bags. Hardparked trucks can tow; are awesome. Also, I'd add some big fuel tanks to the bed to double my range.







Convertible: 2016 MX5 Club. The answer is always Miata. Unless I don't fit. The seats in the MX5 look like they won't hurt me, unlike the seats in every BRZ I sit in.



Last but not least, the beater. Decent gas mileage, decent fun factor, park it anywhere and not attract any attention, don't be to crushed if someone dings it: HHR SS. Nobody is going to look twice at an HHR. They're a riot to drive. My buddy has had 2 now. Debadge it and resist the urge to put an exhaust on it.



However, if I had to do more work with clients and less hauling, I'd get a 2005 LS430.

Edit: We get 10 now?

6. 64 Corvette Convertible. 327. White over blue.
7. 16 Nissan GTR Premium. White. Black Advan GTs. Stormtrooper style. Rexspeed K-Style splitter and skirts.
8. 15 Chevrolet SS Sedan. Stick. Silver over black with 20" Camaro wheels and Stainless Works quad tip catback.
9. SW20 MR2 T-Top 2GR-FE swap with Work Meister S1Rs. Red over tan.
10. 99 E36 M3 Coupe. Estoril Blue over Black Vaders. Square LTW rear wheels. LTW Splitter and Spoiler. PSS9s.

Why the qualification against hypercars? If it's a dream list then the funding should be too.

I have two of the five already.
  • 2015 BRZ in world rally blue
  • 1994 Skyline GT-R
The next three are probably never going to happen, but what the hell.
  • Completely repair the rusted out hulk of 1984 Skyline RS in my driveway
  • Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
  • 1968 396 Camaro

Because hypercars are not drive-able on shitty roads like where I live lol. I'm trying to think of what car I should get next.

looks like NSX or skyline GTR are on the top of the list right now.

You should have specified they needed to be Thailand road specific!

Now I have to rethink my list.

Lancia Delta Integrale



Lancia Stratos



Nissan 240RS



Ford Escort Cosworth



And my GT-R for for cruising around town looking for Otto so he can swap a 2JZ in it!
