one car for the rest of your life

Word, all these hyper-estate cars will be long knackered in 15 years time. An RS6 or M5 are both so complex it isn't going to be economical to fix them. Plus you won't be able to get the diagnostic equipment you need, never mind understand it.

I'm trying to make it interesting - these threads suck becuase everyone just picks the biggest engine petrol estate they can possibly think of. Why dont we have an intelligent one for once - if you genuinelly HAD to pick one car, which would it be, with a view on future situations.

So now we're meant to predict future motor trends for the next 60 years? :o

Everyones reply will be a diesel as it will no doubt be cheaper to run in years to come?

There aren't that many interesting diesels out there, and yes I'm including bmws in this statement. SHOCK HORROR.

Let's be honest, not THAT many cars will last 600,000 miles+ which is probably the mileage I would have done before I retire.

No, but we should pick cars we can keep 'for the rest of our life' perhaps making the concession that we'll pretend it'll do 600k.

It isn't a guess that fuel is going to continue to rise considerably as is C02 taxation - it's pretty much a certainty.

You dont NEED to pick a diesel, just 40 replies saying M5 Touring = posting the first thing that came into your head. These threads are more fun when people put a bit of thought into it :)

And then what in 15 years time when petrol is £3 a litre and RFL on high C02 cars is £6000 a year?
Ok a pre 1973 trans am. No car tax, easily convertible to LPG and such a big engine any loss in power isn't noticeable.

then i'd be stealing petrol at gunpoint from forecourts, or buying it on the black market, and driving without tax or insurance i guess like everybody else?

one car for the rest of my life? it'd most likely be a rally spec Opel Manta 400 for me :D
 
That doesn't show thought at all. It's a POS to drive.

is it? go back in your box.

American cars out the box = POS
American cars with 5k = Brilliant handling and stupid power.

Let alone if you spent 30k on mods, that would still work out cheap that these top of *** range BMWs and sports cars.

Now THIS is the sort of suggestion that shows thought and what this thread needs to be filled with :D

Ok, *any insert old car here* and convert to LPG :)

Do I win?
 
Haha, Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors like in Entourage so I could move to California and drive round with my homies all day checking out hot birds :p

I'll save up loads and loads for petrol etc :p
