Car-nal Desires Tournament - Nominations Thread

[Rain Man]

New tournament time. We're going to pick the collective vehicle of our dreams.

In this thread, I'll ask people to nominate vehicles, using the following rules.

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 is free to you.
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.

The rules for nominating are below, and are VERY IMPORTANT:

You may nominate only one vehicle within a post. The reason is that I'm not going to keep pasting pictures and descriptions during the tournament. During the tournament I will provide a link to your post ONLY. So it's very important that only one vehicle be described in the post. If you nominate two or more vehicles in one post, your entries will be disqualified.

In your nomination post, you will begin by stating the name of the vehicle: Year, make, and model.

You may include up to five photos of the vehicle. While I would encourage having some interior and exterior shots, it's up to you to decide the best way to present your nominee. All photos MUST be of the same vehicle to avoid confusion about things like color, stereo type, and interior trim. Where possible, upload the photos as images instead of linking unless you're sure that the link will remain active throughout the tournament.

If you would like to include any specs or any argument for why your nominee is the Chiefsplanet dream car (e.g., zero to 60 time, corinthian leather seats, gas milage, bitchin' Crager S/S wheels), feel free to do so.

You are allowed to make more than one nomination. However, each nomination must be made in a single post. There will be no limit on how many vehicles you can nominate, though at some point I'll cut off entries. We'll see how many get nominated before I decide when I'll stop the nomination process.

I'm hoping we don't get 25 variations on the same vehicle, but whatever. If you want to post a 1910 Hupmobile because you think it's notably different than the 1911 Hupmobile that was already nominated, then go for it.

See Post 2 below for the format for nomination. (It may take me a minute to post it.)

Can vouch for this. Had a red '68 with a 327. Totaled it on the way to school one morning during a snow storm.

Lots of good submissions. Definitely not a mopar guy but I’ve always been a sucker for the vipers.

1998 Dodge Viper GT2.

Old school I like the '71 Corvette LS6 454 Stingray -

Modern, I'll go with the McLaren Speedtail. All 250mph of it.

The iconic F1 has been dethroned.

Driver sits in the center, passengers staggered back on each side.



Just saw a yellow one sell for $3 million at the most recent Mecum Auto auction in Kissimmee a week or so ago.

Let’s be real here. I’m probably not going race car. I’m probably looking to improve my life.

Like I’ll ever know but the Rols Royce Ghost is supposed to be the best driving experience.

2021 Rols Royce Ghost.

Not sure yet. I haven't started organizing yet.

As a quick update on this, I'm getting the tournament organized. It just takes a bit since I'm downloading each link, so I'm doing it a few at a time.

The original Blue Viper w/ the white stripes was a dream car of mine for a looooong time.

I've thought about selling the Camaro to get my hands on one, but I think I'd get thrown off ChiefsPlanet for something like that.

To me, this is the definitive modern American muscle car:



No frills, no fancy suspension, no driver aids. Just a big ass engine on a sexy chassis.

In the words of the great Martin Lawrence:

"Just a shiny dick with 2 chairs in it. And we're the balls, just draggin' the **** along..."

Yup - that pretty much covers it.

The last nominee will be a flashy Yellow 2021 Corvette.
