Subject:      Re: Five Year Dream Car Pick

New utility type vehicle: Range Rover or a Hummer New Car: Mercedes Benz S-class (500 SEC specifically) New sports car: Porsche Carrera RS America Preowned picks: preowned versions of above If I really could have only one: the Benz

classic sports cars: '59 Ferrari 250GT SWB California, '55 Porsche RS550 Spyder, '55 Mercedes 300SLR, Shelby 427 Cobra, Shelby GT350, '63 Vette coupe,

Comments: let's face it, the automotive landscape is much to complex to pick "just one vehicle". Ask yourself this: if you can afford more than one vehicle for yourself, would you own only one? You would probably have different vehicles for different purposes...
