I didn't really like cars until I was a little older but I always liked the Lancia Stratos

I was always mezmerized by a few cars growing up. The C4 Corvette, The Ferrari Testarossa, and the Countache. I never could understand what people saw in BMWs but to each his own. Every car has a place for someone. The cars I like always tend to have 2 seats and look like they could fly to the moon if I pointed them up.

One more I forgot to mention was the Delorean. I don't think too many people growing up in the 80's didn't love a car that could time travel as a kid...

My Childhood dream car was my fathers car, its now mine.
The 1963 Apollo 3500 Gran Turismo

We went to see Herbie The Love Bug in my fathers 63 Apollo at the drive in movies. At intermission when everyone else realized that they were walking by the same kind of car the villan drove "The Thorndyke Special". Before we knew it there was a crowd gathering around the car.

Apparently I've posted in here, but I'm too lazy to look.

I grew up salivating over the '70 Chevelle SS 454 LS/6.

I always loved to have a Ford Sierra actually. I loved it's design. Still like it, might be driving one on track soon with school for the DNRT racing league. Also the Capri and Escort always had a magical charm to me. Believe it or not, as a youngster I loved the looks of the FIAT Ritmo as well !

Guess my dreams were all ready practical by neccesity back then

Yeah, I only started liking cars when I was around 13 or so.

That was when the NSX was still in production. God I still love that car.
