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?

Borla

I'll give mine as something I feel is a touch more realistic for me in my lifetime.


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.

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.

Throw me one of the new C6 Z06's, and I'd be set.

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!

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.

Tech

so many cars...

1. 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda Hemi - $100,000 - 150,000?
-convertible, sassy grass green, doesn't have to be original (since there are only 7 '71 hemi convertibles)

-convertible, darker blue (not sure of the real name but there were 2 blues), side pipes, 427



3. 1973 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455 - $? but only 252 out there
-white with blue bird.

-blue, maybe black... just a sexy car

8. 1958 Ferrari 250 Testarossa - $?

1) Ferrari F40 - Priceless


2) Mid-90's Nissan Skyline Right-Hand Drive, completely modified - Don't want to even try to figure


3) Copperhead - Priceless



4) Sgt. Rock - Priceless


I'd be plenty happy with that.

The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

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??

Like the Jaguar XKR Coupe, and the 959 as well. Way ahead of its time, the 959. Still looks modern.

Leo

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)!
