How would you answer this question...
Before I ask the question let me preface it with this thought. I often see very cool cars around where I work - Porsche, BMW's, sometimes Maserati's and even a Lamborghini! Now I'm sure there are many on this forum who love cars and have cool cars themselves. However, I realized that my new Bonnie is so cool that... well here's the question:
If you could ONLY have either your Bonnie or any car in the world, no matter how expensive or exotic, which would it be?
For me it's simple. I'd rather have my $7800 Bonnie than any car out there - Ferrari, Aston Martin, Detomesa Pantera (sp?) etc, etc. and this is truly a great thing. No matter what I see on the street costing $70K, $80K, $120K or more, I have to snicker as I think about my little Bonnie and how she blows away the competition at 20 times the price... ya gotta love it!

a Bonnie or ANY car?
I love my bonnie, but if I could trade it for a Mercedes SLR it's gone.

I'd trade my '04 Bonnie for a '49-'54 Ford shoebox in a heartbeat.
But of course, I'd still have my '79 Bonnie and my '71 Daytona. So really, I'd trade my new Bonnie for pretty much any cool pre-'65 Ford.

Before Monte moves this where it should be, "The Pipe Dream" section I "snicker" because I do have both! 
I'm sorry - sometimes I'm such a Jerk and other times full of compassion.

Yeah, two BMWs and a Thruxton, I don't have to chose, but one mode of transport forever, Probably an Aston Martin (doesn't matter which one).

That's what I love about my Bonnie, it is the dream motorcycle I can actually OWN! The Aston Martin is so far out of my reach I don't even daydream about it.
So for now I say I'll keep the Bonnie, and it's hard to imagine a budget that would require me to give up my $8,500 bike so I can justify purchasing a $200,000 sports car.

God Almighty I love the 300SL Gullwing.... more than any other car in the world. But I'd still rather be on 2 wheels than 4.

I love my T100. However... there's a buttload of cars, trucks and even a few other motorcycles I'd gladly trade her for. Next question please.
