    Easy one.

    1) Daily Driver is and probably would stay my 2008 Nissan Pathfinder se or get a new one
    2) Wives daily is a Nissan Maxima Se
    3) All time favorite car is the 1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am 20th Anniversary . I had the pleasure of having a friend who purchased one brand new and I got to drive it all the time. I will own one to put away.
    4) 1987 Buck GNX same engine as the Trans Am but in a sexy Black beauty Gran National WOW what a car.
    5) So the super car today there is only one that really pumps me which is the 2009 Nissan GTR Skyline. What a complete machine. Nissan Quality with world class performance. Complete package all wheel drive who really could ask for anything more.

    Aston Martin V12 Vantage, yep, that's it. No other car on this planet can come close to that kind of sexy.

    This is extremely hard for me, as I can think of at least 5 supercars, as many sports cars, and way more muscle cars that I'd like to have. But at the moment the following list looks pretty appealing:

    1. McLaren F1
    2. 1987 Buick Grand National GNx - probably mostly stock
    3. 1969 Camaro
    4. 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 four-door with Duramax with full exhaust, built Allison, twin turbos, cranking out low 11-sec 1/4-miles
    5. 1966 Shelby Cobra, or more likely a Factory 5 replica thereof with a side-oiler 427, or as similar a powerplant as I could get

    The Duramax would be my daily ride. That or the Cobra. :p

    Though I'd also really really like a 1993 Ford Mustang fox body with a 427 stuffed under the stock hood, rollbar inside but tinted windows so you couldn't tell, lowered/stiffened suspension, lighter wheels with mammothly wide tires.

    I'd also really like a Ford GT in there somewhere. And a C6 Corvette Z06. And a 1986 Porsche 911 Turbo. And a Ferrari F355. And a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. And a Koenigsegg CCX.

    *sigh*

    Tough choices...the nubstick above me forced me to post!

    Super Car: Ultimate Aero. Can't beat a super car with a true manual.
    Car 1: 67 Fairlane. 390/4 speed. Gorgeous car.
    Car 2: 67 Shelby GT500 (not Eleanor - a real one) No explanation needed.
    Truck/SUV: 71 Dodge D100. I love old trucks.
    Sedan: BMW M3 (E46) The only import on my list, but it's a classic.

    My Daily would be the M3...and the GT500........and the Fairlane.......and the Aero....oh forget it!

    Just need to find a good place to get a LCA and wheel, slap 'em on, and see what's next. Just a waiting game right now. It'll be a long process, with working around school and not really needing a ride. Thanks for asking.

    I was curious to find just what this "garage" would cost me. The first three are easy as it is simply MSRP. The last two are a little harder...especially the Mustang.


    Sedan - 2010 BMW M3 - $55,000
    SUV - 2010 Land Rover Range Rover - $79,000
    Daily driver - 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe - $89,000
    Supercar - 2005 Ford GT - $125,000 (driven with some miles on the OD)
    Toy - 1969 Mustang Coupe with 428 SCJ - $250,000 (a concours restoration was appraised at $700,000 a couple of years ago due to the rairity)

    The Mustang is one of 52 produced with the SCJ and gets ever rarer depending on the transmission and whether or not it is a "ram air".

    Total '69 SCJ coupes: 52
    Q-code (non ram-air) four-speeds: 8
    R-code (ram-air) four-speeds: 34
    Q-code (non ram-air) automatics: 1
    R-code (ram-air) automatics: 9


    So it appears my "Dream Car Garage" would set me back around $600,000, before options and sales tax.

    Hmm, that ain't right. How'd SHE get to drive one? In the beginning she seemed totally uninterested or stoned. She warmed up a little toward the end, but I still get the feeling she won't think twice about that little test drive she got to take. :(

    Daily Driver would probably be an Audi S4 or S5
    Exotic #1 would have to be my all time favorite car Ferrari Dino 246GTS
    Exotic #2 would probably the Alfa Romeo 8C
    SUV probably a Porsche Cayene, but honestly I am not an SUV guy so I'd have to do some research.
