The List.

This is a post for everything I want. Chiefly concerning cars, because they make me happy.

• BMW 325 E30 (1982-1990) - I'd really like to get me one of these, simply because it would be oodles faster and prettier than the Danger Wagon. It has pretty much the same specifications as the Danger Wagon, but it's lighter, and a bit more high-tech, with things like ABS and 4-wheel drive in some cases. A tighter suspension would also be good, encouraging me to drive much faster than I really should. (0-60 7.5 seconds)

• Ford Police Interceptor (1999-present) - Now this is what I tell all my car friends at school that I'm going to get when they hear I drive a Volvo. It's the beefed up version of the Crown Victoria that the police special order. It has a 4.6 liter V8 rated at 250 hp mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, which is the same engine-transmission setup as the civilian version. However, the computer is tuned for the engine to idle about 40 RPM higher than the civilian model, and the automatic transmission was also programmed to have more aggressive shift points, and the transmission itself was special built to endure harder, faster shifts. The engine is also equipped with an external oil-to-coolant heat exchanger, allowing the car to idle for extended periods of time. It's only available for fleet purchasing, so I won't be getting one new. The ones available to me are 5+ years old, most with 80,000 miles or more. Still, they're rather cheap, being about $5,000 on average. I don't know if my insurance would spike with such a sporty car, however. I don't have much money to spend, so this might be out of the question.

• Toyota Pickup (1989-1994) - This is another car with similar specs to the Danger Wagon, except it's a truck. It doesn't have many assets, with A/C and power steering as the main options. It's got a bench seat, which is great for a high schooler such as myself, and a 5-speed manual transmission. It's a workhorse, and like my Volvo, they have a tendency to go on forever. They haven't proven to be very safe, though, crumpling like paper in the simplest of wrecks. But, like any driver, I intend to drive it, not to crash it.

• Volkswagen Type I (1954-1966) - While this choice will garner mixed responses from car-lovers and simple broads alike, I still think owning one of these would be a life experience. A windshield 6 inches from my face, a terribly placed battery and boat-like qualities should please anyone. Although with only a 60 hp motor and no more safety than an aluminum soda can, I can't imagine going through life with this as the best thing. My dad owned one, and he has several fond memories from it. I can't imagine owning it for very long, however. I just don't think my reckless driving style would be supported by something that goes from 0-60 in some 20-odd seconds. I guess this wouldn't be a major step up from the Danger Wagon.
