The website put together a list of 'Dad's Dream Vehicles' ... rides designed for the open road or water, with plenty of horsepower and fun thrown in.

Dad's Dream SUV -- 2005 Porsche Cayenne 4 dr Turbo Tiptronic (MSRP $89,300)

"Porsche is known for its sports cars," said Mark Perleberg, lead auto expert, NADAguides.com, "but people are increasingly becoming familiar with the brand for its superior SUV, the Cayenne. Dad would love this vehicle -- it's sleek, fast and, believe it or not, offers impressive towing capabilities with a sizeable cargo area to boot ... all the features a luxury SUV should offer."

Dad's Dream Boat -- 2005 Mako Marine 253 Deluxe Cabin (MSRP $61,799)

"Fishing just got better," said Judy Applegate, marine editor, NADAguides.com. "This boat features twin 150HP outboard motors, a galley with a freshwater sink, dual 52" in-deck fishboxes with macerator pump-out and a 13 gallon freshwater system. This is a versatile, comfortable boat Dad could take fishing just about anywhere."

Dad's Dream Motorcycle -- 2005 Triumph Rocket III (MSRP $15,990)

"Apparently during the dyno testing of this bike, the engine made so much power, the exhaust system glowed red," said Valerie Rangel, motorcycle editor, NADAguides.com. "This is an awesome-looking bike with a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 142 horsepower engine at 5750 RPMs. If Dad's a touring guy, this is a superb long distance machine. This bike also has a drive shaft distributing horsepower to the rear wheel -- an excellent feature for added performance."

Dad's Dream Classic Car -- 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500 2 dr Fastback (High Retail $142,200)

"This is more than a throwback to days of old," said Steve Ferguson, classic car editor, NADAguides.com. "This is one of the most popular, highly sought-after classic cars on the market today. Designed by the legendary Carroll Shelby, this car was powered by a 428 V8 and was the last Shelby Mustang actually built by Shelby-American. What's more, this car offered plenty of luxury options that seemed to appeal to car buyers at that time. This is a beautiful, powerful slice of Americana ... a perfect trip-down- memory-lane for Dad."
