Dream Car Picture thread

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime...

It is 2013.  Aren't we supposed to have hovercars/flying cars (like in the Jetsons) by now?  What about moon bases?

Nicee!!  I'm a huge ford, cobra, mustang, saleen, roush fan myself, whole family is actually....We have Eleanor parked in our shop.  68 shelby gt 500 with the 429 cobra jet.   That will hopefully be my baby one day as who else is my dad gonna give it too?!  We got a ton of 69 mach 1's with the 428 or 429 cobra jet and an 03 mach 1 supercharged.  One of my fav all time cars he had was a 65 cobra with 24k plating instead of chrome.

With him working at a ford dealership in town, we get to test ride all the new whips that got some ugh in em

Sure.

What happens when that flying car or hovercraft runs out of gas (or charge)?

Doesn't seem very feasible in any kind of future.

There would have to be a failsafe that forces you to safely land the vehicle when you run down to a certain charge, well before it is fully drained.

that would still be bad if you were over a body of water like the ocean or Lake Michigan

[D3Dman]

Yeah, areas like that would have to be 'no fly zones' for personal vehicles.

Man you guys must not keep up with cars lol   They're designing them to NOT run on gas anymore...Honda has a concept to run on compressed air and a pneumatic regulator system and other designers are dabbing into alternative fuel,etc 

I think it'll be pretty damn sweet by 2020 for real.   

Hatter, all I know is classic cars....!  His buddies garages put my dads to shame....one guy down the road has a few nice cars but has a newer gt 40 that is pretty fucking bad ass! His best friend has about 15-20 cars packed in his garage, all restored from 69 boss to saleens to newer gt500.

As you can assume, we're in a mustang club n have been in bama n FL lol   :passone:

Ok, so apparently antimatter may be anti gravity as well.  So, all we need is a Mr. Fusion powered plasma containment for the antimatter so no matter what, the vehicle will be neutrally boyant. 

Everything else is just details.
