As the title states, what vehicle are you a huge fan of but would never want to deal with the ownership experience?

For me, I think all the early 1900’s high-end luxury cars are awesome. Rolling around in a 1920s Rolls Royce or Duesenberg would give you instant Batman or Bond Villian energy and I think that’s awesome. However, knowing that parts don’t exist for those cars, and the mechanical upkeep that needs to be done just to drive them would be financial suicide.

    The Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle with the V12 Viper engine. I’d love to ride one but I’d never own it. It’s too big, bulky, and weights a ton. My Kawasaki ZX-12r only weighs 463 pounds. The Tomahawks weight 919 pounds. Imagine laying that thing down and still being alive afterwards just to find out that you can’t set it back upright again because it’s too heavy.

    I would happily own a car from the 20s. Parts aren’t available, but for not much money I can buy a mill and a lathe and fabricobble together whatever I need. They’re not complicated to work on.

    R35 GTR.

    Love and respect the hell out of that car, but I don’t think I could ever own one.

    The interior is really pretty dated now. Not many creature comforts at all in the early (more affordable) ones. Basically every car has been tuned into a monster and back to sell.

    I just don’t ever see it making sense, and this is coming from a guy that just bought an old 911.

    Ariel Atom. Super fun to drive, but it’s a very impractical car as a daily driver.

    Any classic sports car that is hard to drive, has terrible reliability, terrible visibility, and is insanely expensive to maintain and repair.

    While part of me really wants to buy a car like this, I have enough stress in my life.
