    It looks a lot like a Maybach ad.

    I don't want to reveal my ultimate car fantasy until it is actually done, so I will mention one that I have been thinking about for a while that could very well involve imprisonment:

    Basically it would involve me getting the fastest car I could afford in flat black, taking off all identifying marks including plates, leave it unregistered, buying night vision goggles, and then driving through the hills every night with the lights off as fast as physics will let me.

    Getting Flyin' Miata in Colorado to build me a Westfield with a 2.0L stroker, then flying out to pick it up and driving it back to Virginia, with stops to see friends in Texas and Tennessee, and maybe some other sightseeing stops.

    Step one - find a Mazda REPU and a Nissan 240SX.
    Step two - swap engines, to restore balance to the world

    Put a Jaguar straight six in a Chevrolet Caprice to make up for too many SBC Jags

    Build up a Hyundai Pony so it doesn't suck (since it's a RWD hatch)

    Find a Porsche Boxster with an IMS failure, drop in a Subaru flat-four

    I'd like to add one of these to my garage and then take a road trip to New Hampshire with Bill Murray, Richard Dreyfuss, Julie Hagerty, Charlie Korsmo, and Kathryn Erbe. They'd all fit, don't you think?

    An expedition sounds great, as does competing in a rally and an F1 race.

    That said, my real Jalopnik fantasy is a Ford Fiesta randomly given away to a random commenter for posting a random comment. So let's say PaulJones makes comment number 6,434,232 of the year- bam! He wins a Ford Fiesta.

    Get Ford behind it- c'mon Jalopnik- give away a car!

    Thank goodness for Australia.
    How about a turn-of-the-Millenium Falcon?

    @mytdawg: That thing in the back looks like a Corbin Merlin. I think they only got around to making maybe two of those.

    That, and this assortment of what may be the single largest gathering of all the Pulses, makes this one hell of a photo.

    @Elhigh: I saw one on the road once and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Of course Owosso is just down the road so it was likely that I would see one. The Kelmark "factory" was just down the road too.

    After giving this a bit of thought, it has to be something that takes cues from his landspeeder. You know, stripped-down speed with a certain, ah, "patina."

    Therefore the only right answer can be some flavor of topless rat rod.

    Subaru XT coupe. Uncle Owen approved AWD and ride height with some stealthy turbo fiddling under the hood. Plus, it could easily be sold to some other repressed farm boy at the Mos Eisley swap meet.
