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

**Rain Man** · 09:01 PM

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.

1957 Plymouth Fury* https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...&postcount=123
1959 VW Deluxe "Samba" Bus (aka transporter) with sunroof option. Walk-thru font seats with full-length middle seat option, safari windshields and an ambulance step. https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...0&postcount=24
Koenigsegg Jesko https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...8&postcount=38
1975 Porshe 911 Turbo https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...6&postcount=13

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.

Tapping my foot, waiting impatiently…..

Now!

I had to vote for the sweet Koenigsegg Jesko AND the VW bus. The bus takes me back to the teen years.

Zebedee DuBois · 02-20-2022, 07:42 PM

I really had the hots for the Porche 911 back in 1975. Alas, my net worth was about $400 back then. I'm not sure if I could get in and out, but that is the one I'm voting for

Sofa King · 02-20-2022, 07:54 PM

People will vote for the expense of the car, not necessarily the one they like the best. Calling it now.

Yeah, that's the reason that I revised Rule 5. However, I have no idea how much insurance is on a koenigsegg.

A Maserati Quattroporte is priced at $96K and costs $4500 per year to insure. The Jesko goes for like $3.4M.

I might not be able to afford the Jesko.

It might be wise to have these numbers in the poll option so I stop voting for stuff that would cause me to have to sell my house in 6 months.

Now I feel kind of guilty because I initially said that our benefactor would cover all of the maintenance. Then I thought that just pushes people toward the most expensive cars, which often got nominated, so I put a limit on it. I wanted a limit that would make people pay something for the most expensive cars.

Oh - we're early. I'm going to change the rule to compromise. You'll pay any amount between $3,000 and $4,000, and then the benefactor will take over again. So top-end expenses will be $1,000 per month.

**Dartgod** · 02-20-2022, 08:04 PM

I didn't read the rules correctly and only voted for the Fury.

**cdcox** · 02-20-2022, 08:10 PM

The Jesko will cost more than $24,000 to insure. I bet a brake job would cost that too. Not really practical to own that car without significant disposable income per year.

It definitely does, probably closer to 50k a year.
