I'll take a bucket.

A "T"- Bucket Roadster!

In spite of all the cool Japanese, Italian, compact, turbo, and AWD metal I've owned, my real love is in the Hot Rods.

In reply to SVreX:

Ooooh, yeah. Gimme a '29 Track-T, complete with flathead. I'd Megasquirt it and back it with a T5.

This list changes all the time for me, but there's always a few constants.

AC 911

Porsche 356

Healey Sprite

Lotus Esprit

Lotus Elise

105-chassis Alfa

Citroen DS.

Any JDM-styled car from the '70s. Preferably old Skyline with tacked-on flares and Watanabes

Any Italian cafe-racer style motorcycle. Moto Guzzi Le Mans would be cool.

Archaic 1920s/'30s British motorcycle, something with backwards controls that takes a whole lotta effort to kick start.
