I guess this goes into the "technology" category If you want to talk about cars, driving or anything related to it in general.. What car do you own ? did you own ? Or wish to own ? (realistic or not)

I have a '98 Peugeot 106. The fact that it's still drive-able is a bloody miracle. Cheap French cars aren't known for being the most reliable things ever.
Dream car? Too many to list. Nissan GTR, Ferrari 250 GTO, Mercedes SLS, Lotus Exige, 1970 Chevelle, 1969 Cuda, Ken Block's Mustang...
Realistically, I'd like to get a Ford Focus. Not an RS or anything silly, just the regular everyday version. They're good cars.

We had a 106... she was named Peggy and turned 17 years, before she was no more I don’t drive yet, but the family got 2 peugeot's. And i prefer the french cars, over german ones. Or any other

2008 Honda Civic Coupe LX. Got it used with only 30k miles.
My dream car is either a Tesla Model S, Acura NSX (new generation), or... a tank.
Yes, a road legal tank. I'm going with a M22 Locust as it is light enough that it won't rip apart roads. Unarmed of course, but with the cannon barrel for intimidation. Not sure about laws in the US, but in the UK there are road legal Sabres and Scimitars. Who am I kidding? That would be completely impractical. Incredibly low MPG and slow. But it would sure be badass!

in the UK there are road legal Sabres and Scimitars. All tanks are technically road legal here, provided they're fitted with rubber tracks, a licence plate, and any weapons need to be deactivated of course. As for driving them, a standard driver's licence is automatically a provisional licence to drive a tank, as long as someone with a H licence (tracked vehicle licence) sits with you. If you want to go solo, you need to apply for a H licence of your own. However, keep in mind that this is the UK, where you'll get a lot of raised eyebrows if you so much as hang some fluffy dice from your mirror. Driving around in a tank just wouldn't be cricket.

We've got one Suzuki and one Dacia. To be honest, my parents have been Suzuki fans for a long time but the cost-benefit-ratio got worse so we got the Dacia, and all of us are impressed.
My personal dream car is probably a Mini at the moment. Not a special one like Clubman or Countryman, just a normal one. Realistic? Not really.

I'm personally a Toyota lover. We own a Toyota Auris since 2008 and we'd like to purchase a Land Cruiser. My dream car would be a Volvo XC90 SUV but that's twice the price of the Toyota we'll purchase, so this will remain a dream.

Where I'm from, the prices are the other way around. A Toyota Land Cruiser (83k) costs nearly twice as much as a Volvo XC90 (44k).

A Toyota Land Cruiser (83k) costs nearly twice as much as a Volvo XC90 (44k). That's so unfair, I would have already purchased the Volvo if it was this price here. Well I'm living in Asia, and I'm not sure if this has something to do with it but Japanese/Korean cars are usually less expensive here than European or American ones, while when I was living in France, it was the exact opposite, Asian cars were very expensive.

Sounds familiar. Not just cars but other stuff too!

My current example is the iPhone SE...499$ in the US, 589€ in Europe. The US price would be around 445 €

I've got a Jeep Patriot. From a pragmatic standpoint, this was my dream car.

This is my favourite car I ever owned, the Smart Roadster. Totally impractical sportscar. Felt like knightrider driving this thing. lol !! I ride an electric bike to get around the city these days. Have also owned a Fiat Uno, a Renult Clio and a Fiat Punto. Sensible small cars.
