I know I'm weird. I still think they're one of the prettiest cars ever made.

I'm with you on this. It was my dream car in high school when it was out. The design is just timeless.

Did not realize they made 930 Targas starting in 87. Only about 300 total units over 3 years.

I'll take Jpgurl's cars, they suck too, but at least they have character - especially the 55 truck, my dad had the GMC version of that one.

I still just want an M3 to drive the family around and a Boxster for fun.

Yes, Singer Porsche. If I could only have one of the cars mentioned above in any of these lists, it would be that (or something very much like it).

I don't even know where to start to narrow it down to just one car.

The singer Porsche would be pretty cool. Of course I want a C2 vette, any year z06 (that I don't already own), a Gullwing Merc, an original Z/28 (hell, a new Z/28 too), a Shelby Cobra, plenty of Ferrari's, et. al. ....

I think it would be fun to find my father's old '69 vette if I was really going to go wild.

I don't think too many people are going to daily drive their "dream car".
