I personally would love to have a BMW 3-series. Im not a huge fan of the new 3-series, so I would say something like an 03-04 3 series. Preferably an M . Then, utilize the I-Bus controls and you have yourself a very integrated car-computer. Plus, it wouldnt be all show and no go.

Well, you could also get yourself a nice BMW 850CSi, but the maintenece will kill you (two of everything = twice the cost for maintenence).

Get a Pinzgauer and really turn heads...

Get an SUV like this:

http://i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/09/40/4c_12_sb.JPG

and really P.I.M.P. it out. Lots of room for hardware (and friends). It's reasonably priced and if done up with some sweet fiberglass body panels, could really make a Hummer look kinda lame.

I have a feeling the Gas mileage probably isn't the greatest (unless it's Diesel).

Good luck, and have fun!

Nissan Murano works best. It has a 7 inch display already built in you can change to a touch screen

magnum

we are looking at getting a magnum once the srt-8 comes out

if you look at the dash layout you can get the dash piece that they use for the navigation. that will make it extremely easy to adapt to a touch screen and mold it in. There is TONS of room in the back for a full stereo system and room to put the CPU. I bet you could even fit one in the center console....

I've been planning ours out for when we get it

heheh

that and the Paxton Novi2000 supercharger will be coming off of the Dakota RT and going on the SRT-8....starting with 425 crank hp stock then putting a blowr on top of that! *snicker snicker*

Plenty of room for everything. I've got the entire PC buried in the dash where the old headunit was. Didn't lose one inch of storage/usable space when I installed the PC. Oh and it drives well in the snow too!

That Pinzgauer is cool! Have you seen this?

http://www.pinzgauer.com/products.htm

I think I'm going to have to think about this some more. A huge 60's Cadillac might work, too....

You would be one of the first to pimp this out. And you could tow any boat in the world out to the river.

I was just going to suggest that one! I especially liked the "you can put the Hummer in back and take it with you" quote from this article about it http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/...newtruck_x.htm

Peace!

Mazda3 is also ugly and pathetic IMO. My friend test drove it and said it was ****.
