...
• Own a Porsche 911.
...
• Watch a MotoGP race live (have already been to some F1 races).

• Rent a Dodge Challenger on my next USA trip. Modern & classic models, both.

• Redline a German car on the Nürburgring, then the Autobahn.

P.S. I must add, thanks to Team-BHP, I have checked off a lot of items on my bucket list already .

Whoa! You did cover quite a few items, some of them are exact/partial matches from my bucket list as well (Porsche; Nürburgring;watch an F1 race from a vantage point.; drive an electric truck).

Here are some more (might be pretty ambitious but hey, it's a bucket list after all):

1. Drive (or rather own) a police-spec Dodge Charger (5.7-liter HEMI V8)
2. Testing the limits of Hennessey Venom F5 on Salar de Uyuni (Bolivian Salt Flats)
3. Being inside and driving a Rolls-Royce Sweptail (gotta see what the fuss is all about)
4. Being able to do insane drifts in a Nissan 350Z/ Mazda RX-7

1. Own a Range Rover LWB.

2. Drive a Ferrari at Fiorano.

3. Take the Eau Rouge in any sports car flat out.

4. Visit Leh Ladakh in my Hexa.

5. Do the complete GQ run.

6. Visit the Porsche factory at Stuttgart.

7. Drive a 911, any variant will do.

and last but certainly not the least

[sharktale]

Here's mine. I am assured the following shall adorn my garage in either 1:1 ratio or 1:18 Models.

1. Bentley Flying Spur



2. Mercedes Benz W124



3. Honda Civic




4. Toyota Land Cruiser



5. Tesla Model X




Experiences :

1. Drive a no-limits Porsche on the German Autobahn! Karan561's video literally gave me chills!

2. Participate in a car-wreck event! I have a lot of traffic-induced anger stored which needs a proper event for me to vent it all out!

3. Drive around an European F1 circuit in a capable car, Belgian Spa is my favourite! A F1 driver's appreciation on my racing lines would be the icing on the cake!

4. Drive an aged Tata truck. I want to empathise with the truck drivers who did so!

5. Participate in a legal "Sprint" race in my city.

6. Work for an automotive company in it's factory premises. Any job offers shall immediately be accepted.

7. NSFW.

[diwakarmuthu]

My list is endless, I think I will keep dreaming will accomplishing the ones within my reach
Realistic Dreams
1. Own a Mahindra Thar, hopefully the 2020 Thar would come home, with all 4x4 bells and whistles
2. Drive a rally spec car in India on a track
3. Drive to Ladakh. I have been shamefully drooling over pictures, but haven't planned a trip yet
4. Own a Ford F-150 or Raptor (If I land a job overseas, then this dream comes true)
5. Own a W123, I just love clean lines and simple designs, they speak more than some of the current day designs
6. Drive a truck, if possible the TATA Prima truck
7. Own a Landrover Defender - The old generation ones are legendary. The new ones are looking good as well, clean design

Nothing wrong with dreaming......
1. Drive a true American Muscle car - 1964 Mustang. I was driven in one sometime back, just the sound of that engine and pure acceleration is something that I want to feel behind the wheel
2. Drive the Ford GT on the track
3. A road trip from Chennai to Bhutan. I have seen travelogues of those drives, once I have people who are thinking on my wavelengths, I might just go
4. Rent and drive Aston Martin Vantage DB9
5. Porsche 911, preferably a 1970's model MT with license to thrill
6. Work with Chip Foose or one of the leading automotive shops in the US. Pick what goes behind their thinking on their masterpieces
7. Travel to all the auto shows with my camera kit and keep capturing memories

2) Buy a range rover for longer drives.

I guess with these 2 wishes I will be satisfied for a long time.

[vb-saan]

As of now, only two simple ones:

• Do a road trip every 6 months – should be at least week or two. Pacific Coast Highway is something I am eyeing as of now!
• Own an Alfa Romeo (say the Giulia) and a Mini; even the Mini One will do, its about the connected feel!

[Sebring]

My love for the first-gen Suzuki Zen knows no bounds. I want to buy up each and every old Zen from the market, restore them to perfection (restored from the bottom, right from chassis and body rust coating to brochure, key etc) and house them in a sleek retro style showroom for sale, each sporting a unique sticker value. I even thought of a name - ZENORA (Zen+Restora). So yeah, that's on my bucket list. I might even hook up these old beauties with an electric motor (in future) to carry them into the next decade.
-In bikes, I want to do the same with the Yamaha RX 100 (not the electric bit, though).
I have had my share of Porsches so that's not on the list, but yes visiting car factories of foreign majors does seem like a great thing to add to my bucket list.

[itsashishsharma]

For me, Subaru Impreza. One car is enough. Rock solid/robust Japanese workhorse with a hydraulic steering and an on demand AWD. I don't think I will ever need any other car.
