Just a general curiosity question or a special need?
Mine would be a sensible economic and environmental friendly vehicle. (You know Waste not Want not)

Why, a Zeppelin, of course.

They are a bit of a pain to park, and the insurance is (heh heh) sky-high,
But you can't beat the view.

Truly unlimited funds? In descending order, Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII, Tesla Model X, Jaguar F-Pace. For that matter, I'd not mind a 1980s Rolls-Royce Silver Spur (which you can find now for $15-20k in excellent condition and low mileage). Of course, neither of those Rolls-Royces are what anyone would consider practical, and I'd probably be too afraid to park them anywhere except in a secured garage - no matter how much fun they might be to actually drive.

But if we're being honest, I'd probably be boring and go with the car I was semi-seriously considering at this time last year: a Saab 9-5 wagon/SportCombi. Or a Honda NM4. Or a hovercraft.

Money not an option I'd buy a brand new truck and two big family sedans (the wife) as we're to old for any kind of sports car. :cool:

If money is no object, I'd design and build a range for variety of requirements, ranging from F1/GT type for racing, an off roader to rival Range Rover's & Hummers, to self driving eco friendly self driving car, because it doesnt matter what is on offer, I can always find things I want to change.

I can safely say, I have no idea!

Regardless of budget, I need a car/SUV/crossover that my 85 year-old parents can get into and out of without struggling.

I already own a 1-ton truck, an SUV and a luxury/performance sedan.

Do I want an all-electric for my 120 mile/day commute? Nah, I did the econo-box thing with a VW Jetta Diesel 6-speed from 6/13 to 2/17. There is something to be said for routinely getting 43-48 MPG. But not enough to put up with driving an under 2,000 pound car.

I would definitely buy a Mercedez, im thinking maybe the GLE 400, which is about 60.000-70.000 dollrs. One time i had the chance to ride it and it was awesome.

1965 Jaguar XKE, assuming insurance and gas are included in the "blank check." http://momentcar.com/images/jaguar-xke-1965-8.jpg

A red 1970 Ford Maverick with a 110 cubic inch in-line 6 in mint condition.

Best car I ever had.

The worst car I ever had by far was a red 1971 MGB Roadster. The college chicks really dug it. But the three hours of fiddling with the dual side-draft Solex carburetors after each hour of driving got tiresome. And don't get me started on the positive ground electrical system and the Lucas electrical components.

just realised it says vehicle, and we limited ourselves to cars and vans. so i would like to change it to a modern tank (T-90 or Abrams will do) for the road (no problem with the parking :) ) a sailboat for the sea and a Defiant class star ship (cloaking included) for taking trips around the planets. if Defiants are out of stock an Intrepid will also do.
