I'd hit up all 50 states in a Mustang GT. No idea what order I'd do it in though, Probably would go along the top, down and to the bottom, then fill in the middle. I'd do it either solo, or with a close friend.
What's yours? Be as unrealistic as possible.
Other than that, I'd probably do the same thing. Except on a Hayabusa geared up for touring.

Take an FJ60 from Florida up to the U.P., then across the northern U.S. border states, then up to B.C. from Washington, then take B.C. in to Alaska, and then drive the Dalton Highway to Deadhorse.

First I really need to be able to post original stuff here.
SecondI would do something similar but without paved roads as much as possible. It would be in a Jeep Wrangler with a tow behind tent trailer and a spot to haul a WR250R or KLX250S. I would eat at small restaurants, no chains, and do my best to avoid large city areas. I would take my wife, a camera, and just go.

1. Route 66 in an old American cruiser from the 50's or 60's.
2. NY to Montana again, probably in a GM SUV
3. Trans-Canada Highway because I've never seen most of Canada, again probably something GM.
4. US 1 from Maine to Florida, in a Mustang convertible or a GM SUV.

Start in the states, head down through South America, then ship it to Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. See you guys in about 5 years...

after driving 14 hours and getting back the other night, I'd rather fly haha.
Just kidding, but this is really crazy. A BMW touring car (preferably an E92) blasting across the east coast, flying to the west coast, then a quick run through the middle trying to break the cross country record. Then I'd drive through Europe going from famous track to famous track, eventually making my way to Dubai or the emirates, spending a weekend living in the high life, street racing rich kids for their 911 turbos and exotics, and then flying back.

I'd drive the entire length of the Pacific Coast Highway in a 300 SL roadster.
And if we're really fantasizing, I'd have Ingrid Bergman riding shotgun.

A factory delivered C7 Corvette Z06, going around the country to amazing race tracks such as Laguna Seca and COTA, followed by a trailer of tires and other parts. You said be unrealistic!

It would have to be a 2015.... I don't want the car to fall into pieces a 1/4 of the way there lol :]
So odd how Lotus can build an increble car AND pretty much the biggest piece of junk i've seen in my 13 years all at the same time.
must be a British thing (see. Land Rover, Jaguar)

Elise, Exige, and Evora's engines are superb! It's everything else. Column locks, cheap body pieces, radios, CEM's, window regulators, door locks, weather seals, etc! Lotus will design an amazing item.... but they are not good at car building no matter how simple they are. Engineers in England do not build these cars, regular ass blokes do. And all using the cheapest sublet components. Elise and Exise are not to incredibly horrid. The powertrain is made of uranium or something because they will work forever. But those damn Evoras. Again, solid powertrain. .... but everything else fails so miserably.
They drive like a dream and I will forever stand by my statement as the best driving car you can purchase ever! My butt is well tuned as the ex front end specialist at my dealer. If only they carried that discipline to build quality

Haha, Dammit!
I'm having dirty, dirty thoughts about DD'ing something special in the next few years. A Maserati Coupe, Porsche 911, Acura NSX, Mercedes Sl55 or Lotus Elise.
All of which will most likely be mini nightmares to maintain. But whatever, :)

Start here in Kingston, travel west through Thunder Bay, all the way to the west coast, stopping to see the sights and visit family on the way. Then go south into the US down the west coast, ultimately ending up in California, and seeing the sights to be offered there. Then back east, through the southern states, the desert etc, maybe try and visit Bonneville, maybe even during speed week. Then north up the east coast doing what ever you do on the east coast, up back into Canada. Newfoundland is the final goal, and my good friend who lives there. Then back west to home sweet home.

Right now, I'm looking to do a road trip from Toronto or Ottawa out to the east coast, with the final destination being either St. John's, Newfoundland, or (if possible) go to St. Pierre et Miquelon. This'll hopefully be this August, depending if I can get wheels in time for it. Eventually I will go to the west coast, and at some point go up north.

Around the world in a Porsche Cayenne GTS with a manual. Why? Because it can literally do ANYTHING with the right tires for the ocassion. With my girlfriend as my Co-Pilot, it is pretty much the dream.

I'm going to have to be semi-reasonable, because otherwise my answer would just be "every road in the world." So here are some I'm actually looking/hoping to accomplish:
In North America:
Lap of the U.S. (planning to actually do a western US lap in the spring)
Route 66
Tour of Nevada ghost towns
All 50 states
The Alcan 5000
Drive the Dalton Ice Road
Outside North America:
Peking to Paris
Mongol Rally
Drive the original Paris - Dakar route
Silk Road
Cross Botswana
Every European nation (may have to restrict that one to Western Europe)
Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi
Drive on Antarctica
Drive across the Outback
Trans-Siberia
The length of Japan
Across the Alps
Across the Andes

So, I got kinja'd, but basically a cross-US and then Cross Euro and again Cross US trip in my GLI, after some SERIOUS mods have been done by APR, LLC.
Pretty much 18,000 miles of driving!
EDIT: oh, yeah, and I'd have a very certain Girl riding shotgun/driving the whole way ;)

Most of the U.S. ones I'd choose my XT, because it's a great road trip car with plenty of room for gear (and I can sleep in it if need be). For the Alcan and the Dalton I'd go with a lifted Forester (if budgeted) or an overland-prepped Range Rover (unbudgeted).
I'd have to think about the others (I know Peking to Paris and Mongol Rally have specific rules), but the word "Bowler" keeps coming to mind.

A fully loaded Subaru Forester XT from Los Angeles down to the farthest point in South America that a car can reach.
Or same thing except north to Alaska.
