The Most Embarrassing Car You’ve Always Wanted to Drive?

[DesmoRob]

I've always wanted to drive a Mercedes G-Class with a Diesel engine. My grandfather had one for over 30 years and only needed to repair minor things. Problem is that even used Diesel Gs cost more than new Nissan Patrols over here (because the owners like them and are unlikely to sell). Apart from that the G's fuel economy is...well...not that good (because of its brick-like shape). Pity.

My dad owned one of the early models. It was also a Diesel. He bought it brand new and said it was a POS from day one. When it rained, water would run inside the cabin from the door seals. The power was so crap that you could nearly beat the thing on foot in an uphill race. He didn't have it for a very long time before switching to a Mitsubishi Pajero which turned out to be so great he bought a second one after having the first for a few years. Personally, I like the newer G class. I think its got a very classic off road shape, and having been in one I can safely say that its the easiest vehicle I've ever had the pleasure of climbing in and out of. For my height and size, I do the least amount of neck bending and maneuvering to get into place.

Of the embarrassing vehicles I'd like to drive, I think it'd be neat to take out a hummer h2 and see how far I can make it up a mountain before it gets stuck or rolls.

Mercedes-Benz R-Klasse.
I don't want to drive it, I want to own one.

Shame on me.

Could be worse. You could want an M-Class or an X5...

The only M-Klasse (don't ask why I insist writing it the German way) I'd want is the one from Jurassic Park 2

Don't worry either, I like writing 1er or 3er instead of 1 Series or 3 Series. Altough that's just probably because this way I type less.

Well, having at one time or another driven everything from Yugos to a rusty King Midget, can't say there's anything I'd be embarassed to drive. At least once.

If it's got wheels, I'm in.

Though i hate to admit this but, I wanted to try driving a Ford Mustang GT Bullitt. I don't really like its design but I heard it's a good car to drive.

A great car to drive . Even the last generation one is fun as hell. Those 4.6L V8s sound incredible with a proper exhaust. Goes like sh!t out of a goose.
