Your dream garage
I did a few searches and found a few "dream car" threads that asked you to show a picture of or talk about your dream car, but didn't see any that were what you're whole garage would look like.
For me, it's extremely difficult to think about just 1 car that I would pick if I could have my dream car. So instead I think about what my perfect garage would look like. I like the number 10, but feel free to list as many or as few as you'd like. I also listed some other stuff about each car like the price (USD), color, and any mods or special preferences. (listed in no particular order) 1) 2005 Ferrari F430 - $250,000 -red "Ferrari Red" -brown suede interior 2) 2005 Subaru WRX STi - $35,000 -blue "WR Blue Pearl" -the silver 10 spoke rim option 3) 2005 Vauxhall Monaro VXR - $67,000 -silver "Quicksilver" 4) 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago - $300,000 -metallic orange 5) 2004 Vandenbrink BV Carver - $47,000 -blue 6) 2005 Pagani Zonda F - $700,000 -silver/blue two tone (like the racing Zonda GR ) -vented front quarter panels (like the racing Zonda GR ) 7) 2004 Hummer H1 Alpha Wagon - $140,000 -metallic black -brown leather interior 8) 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe 6MT - $38,000 -silver "brilliant silver" -dark tinted windows 9) 1943 GMC DUKW - $15,000 -flat green -fully restored -couches/seats in the back -BBQ grill in back -350 HP Hummer engine installed 10) 1932 Ford Tudor Sedan - $45,000 -full custom aluminum body -semi-gloss black -full fenders -slight chop -slammed -red interior, red steelies w/ chrome center cap Total: $1,637,000 Whats yours? |
I'll give mine as something I feel is a touch more realistic for me in my lifetime. :D
First, my baby, my "play car", would have to stay. 2000 Trans Am, mine has quite a few mods.....runs mid 12's now, and this weekend is getting a new rear end to make it even quicker. :cool: I'd also love a brand new M5. I'd also love a couple of bikes......a nice new V-Rod, and a brand new Fatboy. :thumbsup: Throw me one of the new C6 Z06's, and I'd be set. :D |
1. Mercedes E55 AMG Wagon - about $84,000
-granite grey metalic -black leather -469hp + 516 lb-ft = ultimate sleeper/highway hauler *-My dream garage does not contain automatics, so I'd have to throw out the slushbox in this thing in favor of a proper 6-speed - then we're in business! 2. Audi RS4 - about $80,000 -black on black, baby -414hp, 319 lb-ft -Blizzak snow tires all around for the winter 3. Dodge Ram SRT-10 - about $50,000 -black on black, naturally -500hp, 525 lb-ft -who says a workhorse can't be fun to drive through the country? 4. Koenigsegg CCR -color is quite irrelevant -806hp, 678 lb-ft -1180kg, 9 second quarter mile, 1.3 lateral g's, top speed of 242 I need only these four cars to build my dream garage. I guess you could say that I'm easy to please... :) |
Great idea, todd.
Fine, fine choice in the Ferrari. If I wasn't a Porsche guy, I'd replace my Carrera GT with exactly that Ferrari. A Vandenbrink? WTF? A cross between a Brinks security truck and a Jaguar Vanden-Plas? I'd also recommend 2 Valentine One radar detectors (with firmware upgrade) inside your Pagani - one mounted on the front windshield - one on the rear, just in case. politico, trade you my Corvette, 2 mountain bikes and 2 snowmobiles for your Audi? Nice ride! -- My garage: 1 - 2006 Audi A8L W12 (my daily driver) 6.0L W12, 450 HP/428lb-ft Torque Northern Blue Pearl Effect/Amaretto Leather $128,120...nicely equipped http://www.audiusa.com/common/images...a8sedan_lg.jpg 2 - Bentley Continental Flying Spur (clear out, plebians!) 6.2L V12, 552 HP/479 ft-lb Torque ~$165,000 http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/i...0522151237.jpg 3 - 2006 Corvette Z06 (anti-sociality/adrenaline release) 7.0-liter/427-cubic-inch, 505 HP/470 lb-ft of Torque Machine Silver Metallic $75,068 http://www.vette-net.com/images/C6_S...yShot_Blue.jpg 4 - 2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 Coupe (for banging hotties) Horizon Blue Metallic/Ash Exclusive Leather 5.5L V12, 493 HP/590 ft-lb Torque $149,034 http://www.mbusa.com/media/images/ma...all_0_main.jpg 5 - 2006 Porsche Carrera GT (for banging hotties, in case the Benz is in the shop) 5.7L/350ci, 605 HP/435ft-lb Torque ~$440,000 http://www21.porsche.com/filestore.a...iletype=normal 6 - 2006 Nissan Armada (My fishing truck) 5.6L V8, 305 HP, 350 ft-lb Torque Smoke/Steel Leather $46,332 http://www.config.nissanusa.com/img/..._le_k11_lg.jpg 7 - Range Rover Supercharged (My grocery getter) 4.2L supercharged V8, 400 HP/420 ft-lb Torque Bonatti Grey Metallic/Charcoal Seats $92,850 http://www.designyourlandrover.com/d...argeEx/659.jpg 8 - SeaRay AmberJack 290 (fishing/playing boat) Twin Volvo 300 Stern-Drive Diesels, 536 HP (total) 5.0 kW Kohler Generator FishFinder/ChartPlotter/GPS Sirius Satellite Radio $251,912 http://www.searay.com//boat_graphics..._t_640x480.jpg 9 - 2006 Honda XR650R (x4) (for leaving the rat race behind) 650CC Liquid-Cooled 4 Stroke Engine, 95HP $25,196 (@$6299 ea) http://powersports.honda.com/images/...R_large_01.jpg 10 - 2006 Yamaha RS Vector GT (x4) (for leaving the rat race behind) 1000cc, 4-stroke liquid cooled engine, 112 HP $36,400 (@$9100 ea) http://www.yamaha-motor.com/assets/p...blk_1_1478.jpg 10.5 - Fischer "King Fischer 1" Mountain Bike (x4) (to boldly go where no man has gone before!) 9 speed, KingFischer 6061 T6 aluminum main frame Gloss Gray $13,196 (@$3299 ea) http://www.fisherbikes.com/images/bi...ingfisher1.jpg |
Nice choices, powerclown. Haha I forgot about stuff like boats and other recreational vehicles. I've always wanted some kind of super fast and tough gokart/buggy. I saw one of these on Top Gear and loved it.

todd, the Vandenbrink is off the hook. Never seen anything like it. Looks like a lot of fun to drive - I'd love to take it off-road. All the fun of a motorcycle, with many of the benefits of a car, too. Wonder if it has ashtrays?? :p
Like the Jaguar XKR Coupe, and the 959 as well. Way ahead of its time, the 959. Still looks modern. |
Love your first five choices powerclown, especially the Audi at No. 1, although I would probably go for the S8 version. Also like number 9 (I'm into bikes more than cars) and would add a Harley Davidson V-Rod to the list (Harley's first liquid cooled bike, with breaks that actually work and I'm told it handles well too, which is a real leap forward for HD)!
