Since I’m searching for cars and I’m having a hard time finding a car that fits me perfectly I was thinking to myself that if I could go back in time to 2003 I’d go to a Ford dealer and get an '03 Cobra Convertible from them and call it a day. What kind of car would you get if you could go back?

It has to be limited to a time that you were actually alive though!!!

I see BuickGN reading this thread, so I’m willing to bet he wants a GN. 🙂

Me, not a big fan of older cars because technology advances so much in so short of a time. Maybe go back and pick up a dozen or so CRX’s and then sell them on Ebay for a big profit because 0 mile CRX’s would be worth a lot to the ricer crowd.

id go back to my junior year in highschool, when i was 17 ( 1997 ). and instead of getting a stupid nissan altima, i would have gotten a few year old EG hatch. Or gotten a late 80s fox, or a 1995 GSR. or something with a SBC in it.

65-68 Mustang fastback…either model would be fine by me. I bought my '93 fox Mustang in '97 as a theft recovery; basically it was a rolling chassis. Back then a vintage Stang could have picked up for much cheaper than what they go for now…I think that would have been more fun to build up, and in the end they just plain look BA.

1991 BMW 850i 6spd with like $15,000 in mods and the car was selling used for like 19,000 I think… such a nice car to drive for a daily / cruise.
