Home and Auto Car-nal Desires: Round 1, Heat 5

**Rain Man** · 11:07 AM

We have 84 entries in the tournament, and we'll collectively narrow the list down to the one Chiefsplanet dream car.

PICK TWO FROM EACH LIST ON THE POLL.

1970 Chevelle SS (The red one in this picture, not the gray one which is a separate entry.) https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...6&postcount=64

1957 modified Chevy Bel Air https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...&postcount=102

67 L88 (427) Corvette Convertible https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...1&postcount=11

Audi RS e-tron GT https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...93&postcount=5

Recall the rules below. (Rule #5 was modified slightly from the nomination thread.)

1. This vehicle will be yours at no purchase cost.
2. You will keep your current vehicles, so no need to worry about fitting a baby seat in it or being able to haul mulch.
3. You're responsible for parking it.
4. You pay for gas or electricity.
5. Insurance and maintenance up to $3,000 per month is free to you. You cover the next $1,000 if the expenses are higher, and then after that the expenses are covered. So for a high-end vehicle you'll cover a max of $1,000 per month.
6. The vehicle must be street-legal.
7. The vehicle must actually exist. It cannot be a cartoon or concept drawing. However, it can be a production vehicle, a concept vehicle, a custom vehicle, or anything else that is real.
8. The vehicle being nominated is the exact vehicle shown. You cannot change the color, the interior, the engine size, etc.
9. You cannot use the vehicle to make money. It's only for your personal use.
10. You cannot sell the vehicle.
11. Any type of street-legal vehicle is allowed. You can nominate a car, a truck, a minivan, an RV, a semi-truck, a motorcyle, a classic car, a school bus, whatever. As long as it meets the rules above, it's eligible.

I don't like the ones that don't have pictures.

It hurts the entry, I agree. But google image search minimizes the damage.

Not for me. My time is too valuable to be using google images.

I agree completely.

**Rain Man** · 02-24-2022, 10:54 AM

You can't go wrong with a 1967 Corvette, so that gets my vote. And the Audi looks pretty cool, so I'll go with that. Plus, the Audi will have all of the modern safety features.

The Chevelle looks nice, but it can't compete with the other two. And I'm not really into the 1950s car styles, so the Bel Air is at the bottom of my list.

That Audi is someone's dream car?

Oh...it's eDave.

Carry on...

I voted for the Audi because I have had my Audi E-Tron GT for 6 weeks now and I am loving it. It's the cheaper model not a RS.

It got a shitty draw.

Keep in mind the Bel Air is a custom build, not just any bel air so make sure you check the Link provided.

I went with the Bel Air and the Audi.

Took the audi over the vette because im assuming i'd want one nice daily driver to pair with my custom bel air.

And in terms of performance and comfort, that Vette ain't keeping up with either one.

ToxSocks · 02-24-2022, 11:05 AM

Reminder dudes...that Bel Air is a Twin Turbo Chevy Big Block.

Probably a pain in the ass to drive, but the jewel of any garage no doubt.

I can't change the poll, but I added "modified" to the description in the OP.

ToxSocks · 02-24-2022, 11:13 AM

Hrmmm....you know....Im voting based on the machine itself, not so much the rarity and value.

That Vette.....****, who'd have to balls to actually drive that thing? That's what gets me. A Car like that, so rare and valuable....you buy it, put it in a bubble and store it in a cool dark place, lol.

I can't sell it.

I didn't buy it.

So who cares how rare and valuable it is?

I'd drive it anytime there's not snow or rain in the forecast. And I'd probably take a couple weeks off and go to a racing school to firm up some of my rougher edges so I could push it a little bit when the situation called for it.

I'd putter around in it in town and probably never get it out of second gear. But I'd enjoy it.

And yeah, I'm not parking a car like that. I'm driving it.
