I hope you have your license plate memorized. Let’s see how this goes!
Take the first number that appears between 1-9 on your license plate. This is the amount of vehicles you MUST have in your garage. *If no numbers or a zero are present then you get 1 vehicle).
Now take every letter in your plate and add them up by their order number (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.). Finally add up all those numbers then multiply by $1000. That’s your budget. If no letters are present then your budget is $12,000.
So license plate “C63 AMG” would be a SIX vehicle garage made with a budget of $24,000. That’s “C+A+M+G” = (3+1+13+7) * $1,000.
I think I made this to be pretty fair so test your luck (or just find out which of your cars has the most advantageous license plate) and as always, enjoy yo’selves!

The Niva’s plate gives me 6 cars at $58,000. Hmm. It’s difficult for me to come up with six vehicles in the $9000 range considering I’ve owned five so far and all told I’m just a hair over half that, so... yeah.

My license plate is AXF2###, so I get a two-car garage with a budget of $31,000. First, I’m going to buy this 1996 Toyota Celica five-speed, pictured above. It’s a one-owner car with about 155,000 miles listed for just under $6,000. This will be the fun car for weekends, but I also need it to be reliable (made in Japan, yo) because the next car is going to be...
a 2012 or 2013 Audi A3 Sportback, DSG, preferably with solid roof (the vast majority seem to have the panoramic sunroof), preferably in Brilliant Red or Scuba Blue. This will be my daily driver, my road tripper, my safe and comfortable car. A clean, used, one-owner model can be had for well under $25,000. Like I said, though, I’ll have the Celica on deck in case the Audi needs to spend some time in the shop.

3 cars, €51k. 7 cars, €75k. You didn’t say daily driver, so I picked another car I own.
I’ll take my current daily driver but with the bigger engine. Peugeot 406 coupe, €3k.
As it donated its plate to give me the 7 cars €75k budget I’ll take the ‘86 Peugeot 205 CTi convertible with a 2.0t swap. €7k. Or maybe just a bone stock 205 GTi.
Citroën SM. €25k
Citroën CX GTi. €8k
Peugeot 504 convertible or coupe. Probably the convertible because of some duplicity with the SM. €20k.
Citroën C6. €10k
That leaves me €2k and 1 car. Parts car?

Obviously needed to buy the car with that license plate:

I actually got extremely lucky: 6 cars for $67,000! Let’s have some fun!
Audi S4 Avant ($27,500) Way too expensive on my budget, but dammit, it’s yellow!
Honda S2000 ($13,000) It’s sporty and sweet!
Subaru Baja Turbo ($8,300) Was going to choose a Tacoma as my pickup, but this apparently exists!
MINI Cooper S Cabriolet ($8,000) Needs bonnet stripes, but otherwise my favorite color combo for a MINI.
Jeep Wrangler ($5,700) No idea what I’d do with it, but Wrangler’s are cool.
Toyota MR2 ($4,000)

Grand total: $66,500
Which leaves me with $500 for repairs!
