What kind of unconventional vehicle would you like to have as your everyday ride?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) March 18th, 2015

Pretend you’re some extravagant attention seeker for a minute, what kind of “non normal” vehicle would you ride around in, if you had the means to obtain it? Could be anything, a tractor, your own limousine, a pirate ship with wheels…or maybe one of those super pricey Italian cars.

For example, if I was able to get one, I would ride around in a white Cadillac hearse, has to be white. not too unfeasible, if I had money for something that may be considered a vintage car? Have no idea if it is or not.

What about you? Be serious or be funny, it’s all cool, man.

Helicopters are fucking awesome, I want me one, maybe a Bell-Huey.
I absolutely love everything about them, the style, the sound, the hovering shit.
Not exactly “unconventional” but that’s what I want…must have.

I’d be very happy with a horse and buggy, a horse or an electric bike or all of the precedents.

Going on the assumption I have more money than Bubba Gump Shrimp, my daily driver would be a Lamborghini Aventador, with some modifications. I would have a solid gold shifters and a diamond and gem encrusted steering wheel. The wheels would be gold-plated. It would have a flame throwing device underneath by the doors in case some fool tried to car jack me.

I’d be thrilled to have back the MGB I had in my 30s and stupidly traded away for a gas guzzler.

There are so many to choose from. I think I’d go for the Craftsman bungalow look.

A penny-farthing? I don’t know.
To be honest I’d love to just have my own personal subway train so I’d never have to wait for them.

Elephant. No question about it. That is how I would like to ride around town.

Coloma's avatar

@jaytkay Better carry some Hefty Bags for the Elephant dump zone. haha

I think some of the rigs that get into the 24 Hours of Lemons racing series are pretty sweet. When the rules give a $500 limit (not counting mandatory safety gear) the engineering gets a little crazy. Not sure if I want the pull-start Miata with the snowmobile engine, or the Nyan Car, or the upside-down Camaro…. or maybe the MR2 with the 5-cylinder radial aircraft engine, or…. too many to pick from!

A 1965 Ford Falcon, 2 door, with a Boss 351 Cleveland, programmed C-6 automatic, and a Ford 9” limited-slip differential..

If I was to be realistic then anything like this is perfect.

@jerv I like rule 2.4

2.4: Whiner Eligibility. Whiners are not eligible to compete. If you believe that you might be a whiner, please check with a domestic partner, guardian, or health-care professional before getting the rest of your team kicked the hell out of the race.

I like the elephant idea, I’d train him to sit on the hoods of tailgaters. But I really want a dragon. I’d fly over the crap and if you really annoyed me I’d have him flame your ass.

dxs's avatar

Oh snap! Me-wants a dragon, too!

Coloma's avatar

We have 2 horse and 2 donkeys over here if anyone wants an equine ride. One of the mares is named ” Cool” short for “This cats cool.” but….she is not so cool, she is hot and feisty so ya better cowboy up if you want to ride our fiery steed. Nice ride once you get the buck and jump out of her. haha

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Never tried a donkey. They seem like plodders rather than speed demons.

I would love a bus painted in 60s hippie-style, flowers, peace signs, the whole nine yards.

For the sake of practicality, I would opt for one of those modified half size buses and it would run on biodiesel or WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) as a big “screw you” to the big oil companies. It would smell like French Fries, Onion Rings or Indian Food as I toodle on down the highway.

The inside would be converted into a comfy cozy camper van with all the amenities including. Jacuzzi, Induction cooktop, Satellite TV and Internet and plush carpeted kitty condo/ scratch post.

I could travel the country at will in luxury and style.

cazzie's avatar

Oooo! A Dragon! I forgot about that! Yes… I want a dragon….. in fact,, I deserve a dragon on so many levels and for so many reasons…..

I wou8ld like to know how some of these modes of transportation can be obtained as the OP stated?

@Hypocrisy_Central I will get my elephants from one of the sanctuaries that persuade zoos and circuses to give up their pachyderms.

I have to get at least two. They hate being alone.

My elephants striding around Chicago will attract tons of money and attention for the sanctuaries, so it will be worthwhile for everybody.

I have my eye on a particular neighborhood where I can rent a big space for a reasonable amount and there’s a 55-acre park where for exercise.

This isn’t a new idea to me, I’ve been pondering the details for years.

Berserker's avatar
