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

politicophile 08-22-2005 05:03 PM

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... :)

powerclown 08-22-2005 07:33 PM

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!

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.

Haha the Vandenbrink Carver is a small 3 wheeled vehicle that is a cross between a motorcycle and a car. It steers like a car, but tilts when you turn like a motorcycle.

powerclown 08-24-2005 01:26 PM

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.

Leo 08-31-2005 10:59 PM

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)!
