I dont like the new GT-R. I have seen it in person, I only like the back end of it, and I dont like how they increased the weight of the new. I also dont like how they wont give America the true title Skyline!

Though, I am with you on the R34. That is a brilliant piece of engineering!

And I agree with you about the title. I have a friend who lived in Japan while in the U.S. Air Force and raced a couple Skylines. I actually saw an R-34 a while ago.

Well, I bought the Volvo because I wanted an offbeat wagon with some performance, so I'd probably be driving a Nissan Stagea or BMW wagon I think.
Wouldn't buy a Subaru, they're seriously overrated (flame away, I work on them)

Not to worry, even in its home market the Skyline title has been deleted; it is Nissan GT-R.

CRAZY: NSX or Carrera GT
REALISTIC: Used Lexus or Honda and modify it
VERDICT: Volvo needs to stay.

Bugatti Veyron .... well actually if I could afford one I would drive it even if Volvo was around. But if Volvo wasn't around I would probably drive Audi

Most likely a fleet of Festivas. They're the poor man's Mini Cooper S.

Well, I have my 1980 Camaro Z-28, but that's no good in the winter, and not very practical in the summer. If I didn't have the Volvo, I think I'd want a 1977 or thereabouts Ford Courier, with a V6 or a 302 swapped in. Or maybe even a Sasquatch (4wd Courier conversion) if I could find one

Probably have 2 get 2 vehicles to make up for the Volvo if she weren't around.

I'd get a Honda motorcycle for the fun in the summer and a Toyota Avalon or something for the winter.

Sure, it sounds pretty boring, but probably not far from the truth.

If I didn;t have the 850, I'd be looking to fill the void with a BMW 5 series wagon.

Gotta love the gate
