Everyone has lists like your 15 dream car garage. For those of us not winning the lottery anytime soon, and maybe not even an actual garage money: What's your dream car port cars?

We'll say your job and credit score allow you a maximum budget of $10k, what 2 cars are you parking there?

Personally, for occasionally moving things and other people, can you guess based on the dash?

RWD, 5 speed, mid-engined, available around $1000-$1500 for a 250k !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

With my remaining funds to buy a daily driver, well....the answer is always:

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , $8500

What about you? What do you dream of parking under half a cover?

This $4,000 1966 Mercedes 250S . I'd use the other $6,000 to supercharge my 330Ci, which would probably mean me scattering small parts of the transmission all over I-97.

My current project when driving and the Landy, because the Packard and/or Hudson would be in the garage proper. Yes, actually barely permitted by listed funds. I didn't say a showstopper Packard or Hudson .

That's awesome. One issue, though....it looks like the "clown face" design didn't just start with this S Class...

Cannot un-see!

Those would be sweet, especially an early Hornet. I also love the bullet nose Studebaker.

But yeah, at that price point, its not coming out of the "garage" for a long, long time.

...though neither is a 50-51 Stude. You'd be correct that a bullet-nose Stude is on my list, but the temptation with a basket case one to install a turbine or radial engine would be simply too severe to resist, and I don't think I'd be able to stick with it more than a few years afterward once the novelty wore off. Maybe make the system modular and just make a new hood, so nothing permanent's been done...

Also, you forgot that in 1996 every single Previa was supercharged.

I already made my 10k decision and I'm quite happy with it.

But in reality I only spent 9 … so a used bike or a beater Cherokee to fulfill the two vehicle requirement.

Nice. I can't remember ever seeing much Crossfire love. Is that yours in the pic?

Several options:

1. I would have a Buick LeSabre with a supercharged 3800SII put in it, and a Miata

2. A supercharged Buick Roadmaster wagon and a Miata

3. A Miata and another Miata

4. An El Camino SS with aftermarket front bumper and a Miata

5. Camaro IROC-Z and Miata

6. Datsun 240z and a Miata

...I may have a problem.

10k? S10 and Miata I think. Or just a C4 Vette.

Lol. I don't see what you mean.

I think number 2 would have to be my favorite choice for car port awesome-ness (assuming a Roadmaster wagon could fit in a car port).

People LOVE to hate them and the looks are polarizing. IMO that makes it even better. But yessir thats mine.

1991 240 wagon, with 5 speed stick, upgraded cam (I think the better one is called the M cam?) and some Turbo bits ripped off of a 940 turbo. Upgraded diff there as well, for extra shenanigans! My guess it'll cost about 2750 for the car, and an extra 1750 sprucing it up, so $4500

v6, 5 speed maxima!. A really nice one, with low miles, and ALL the options would probably be around $5000? Plus It's a 155MPH car that goes 0-60 in 6.7 seconds, for 5 grand or probably less!!!!
(speed achieved with governor removed)

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > hethoughtofcars 04/03/2014 at 21:19
