Thanks for all the well wishing yesterday Wednesday, I really enjoy it here and feel welcome! I had a great 21st birthday with good beer and great pizza. You all are awesome! Have some cars that I'd like to put in my garage in the coming years(less dream, more reality), some will be the same as my favorites obviously. I'm feeling quite good, positive about life right now and the future.

E39-540i: Sedan or the preferred wagon. Loved the look of this generation/era of BMWs. I may get my step dad to get one, he dreams of owning a BMW one day and he likes wagons.

G8-GT or GXP: The next car I plan to own and first RWD one in the family. Gonna have some fun with it.

Land Cruiser: More reliable than a Land Rover/Range Rover, everyone needs a fun offroader and I like the looks of the older ones like this.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT or similar high trim: Everyone needs a family hauler and this is effectively an American Range Rover. The only FCA product I can see myself willingly buying, and I don't like the similar products from Ford or GM.

5th gen WRX STI: Everyone needs an AWD, turbo 4 fun machine. I like how the looks turned out on the newest ones, heres hoping we get that gorgeous wagon.

69 Chevelle SS(alternately, a Pontiac of similar vintage): I want an old muscle car that I can wrench on and customize to my vision of perfect. I fell in love with the 69 Chevelle that an uncle owns, dark green and in mint condition such a lovely thing. (edit: I'm aware that the pictured is a 1970, I liked the photo and wheels. Also could not find a picture similar to the one described)

There will be more than these I can guarantee, but these are the ones that I definitely want to hold the keys to in my life. Thanks again Oppo, glad to feel accepted.

I know, I couldn't find a similar picture of the one described. I like the 1970 models as well, but the the 1969s are my preference.

I also liked that picture quite a bit. The wheels are rad imo.

Is it kind of like this then?

It is a good looking machine all around. Dale Jr had it built and Chevrolet used it to advertise a kit they sell (LS9 with a transmission or something like that). I saw it at a Chevrolet Performace display.

Similar, it has been a couple of years since I've seen it.

I didn't hear about that from Jr and Chevy. Do you have a link?

I love that crazy one, the 66 Chevelle Recoil, can it even be considered a restomod? Thank you, Ringbrothers.

Details on the Chevelle

The recoil would be a 'Pro Touring' style customization. Built with attacking curves rather than dragstrips in mind.
