For me my dream car is the first car I ever had, a Ford Bronco II.

I have to wait until I move to Japan in 2020 to get it (as it's not sold outside of the Japanese market given it is a kei car), but the Honda N-Box Slash. Though for the record, I won't be watching TV as I'm driving (even though almost all new cars in Japan do have that feature (which unlike in Europe and North America, is not disabled when the car is in motion)).

Looks like an interesting car, reminds me of the scion cube
What's a kei car, is that the company?
What about the car appeals to you?

In Japan, the annual road tax one pays is based upon the engine's displacement size. So as a result, manufacturers build their regular vehicles like those you and I buy (which in Japan would receive a white license plate to designate it as a full sized engine car (greater than 660cc)), versus a kei car which has an engine 660cc or less. Kei cars are denoted with a dark yellow license plate (similar to VA's "don't tread on me" one) and are somewhat smaller, although in recent years the laws have made it so that Kei cars are larger than they used to be (and a 6'4" guy who lives in Chiba and reviews on YouTube can sit in one comfortably).

As far as the difference in tax between the two styles, it's about 30000 yen ($300) a year cheaper at 28500 yen. Plus Kei cars are easier to park in confined spaces than a regular car.

One primary reason for the kei car not being sold outside the Japanese market is that in order to make the vehicle fuel efficient with that small an engine (at only 3 cylinders) is that it's not designed to fare well in a crash above 50km/h (31mph). But given that the legal top speed on the main toll highways is 80km/h, and that I'll mainly be using it between my home and the middle/high school where I'll be teaching English at (which hopefully will be in the Akita prefecture in the northwest), it's all good. xD

Sounds like a very reasonable reason to want one smile

I have several. It's really hard to pin it down to one.

Delahaye is so unique and beautiful, but you really need a top mechanic to work on them. There's a few of these I like. Pierce-Arrow has a few I also would love to own. Several Bentleys as well, tho their Continental convertibles are my favourite. There are others, but if I'm going to be realistic, a Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe is likely what I would get, back when Chrysler was still a top-notch automobile.

I wouldn't want the all white version. I like the light olive body with the black vinyl landau roof, personally.

This one is a 1967 so different in style slightly, but similar to the colour I like.

In a sense...yes.
I wanted this truck since I was little.
Always told my dad that one day I would drive it.
Now, it's mine.

But... I do kind of really want a Jeep.
(I'd never give up my truck though)
