Rules are simple.
You have $_____ to buy any car(s) and part(s) currently on Craigslist, Autotrader (Classics, too) eBay, or other site. (Don't forget manufacturer sites)
You may build onto your real cars.
You have any tool you could possibly need even a dyno, engine dyno, lift, etc.
Typos do not count.
Reserve price and Buy It Now price count.
The amount of cars is unlimited.
Buying accessories, mods, restoration fees, parts, and such count. Remember if you buy a car that doesn't work your garage will include a non-working car!
Buying extra sets of tires (winter, summer, gravel, etc) is allowed.
Make sure to include shipping on parts and transport fees on cars you can't get yourself. (So price to tow, price to get taxi and then drive car, etc.)
Screenshots are preferred as they'll last longer.
Have fun!
So. What would you put in a garage if you had $75,000?
As far as I know this is the first time someone's started this game on Oppo and I'm gonna make this into a (nearly) daily thing. Other's can host this (of course), but please follow this format and use the same tags. Thanks!

I'd shoot for having 2 cars...
Car #1:
This
Touareg.
Big, comfy, AWD, cool, and not too expensive to buy initially. Sure, the Air Suspension will kill me, but that's why my car #2 isn't gonna be too much!
Car #2: This Golf. Fun to drive, but also pretty frugal little car! it'd be my DD. plus, with some nice wheels and tires ($2000) some suspension work ($2000) and an Intake/Exhaust ($1800) It'd be a nice N/A GTI challenger!

And for winter duty...

70k, I think I've got all corners covered. I could get an e55 amg and an sti instead and keep the m5, throw the rest to mods, but this seems perfect.

this bmw m3 because german power.
this mustang, because I really love mustangs.
this miata, because miata :D (changed to one that was actually in the states)
this tahoe because I need to carry stuff bigger than a carry on bag.
and about $2,000 left over for transport of the miata and mustang, which are the only ones not near me.

Jeep Cherokee: $4k
I'd spend the last $6k on a suspension, ARB bumper, Rooftop tent, and diy up some safari kit for the interior.
That would leave me with a fantastically practical and fun to drive DD, a classic roadster for backroads, and a capable off roader to travel the world with.

Build my dad's Fiat 124 Spider into a targa-style speed-time-distance rally toy - $10k
Build my 2.5RS into a decent trackday car (mostly just needs a half cage and some coilovers on top of what I've already done) - $5k
'62-'64 Continental hardtop in clean driver condition - $15k ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lincoln-Co )
Daily driver - '05-'09 Legacy GT wagon with STI everything dropped in - $17k (maybe $7k for a decent shell, 10 for the rest) ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/Subaru-Leg )
$28k left. Okay. I've covered most of my bases - fun weekend runabout, trackday tool, comfy American barge, daily commuter. Two Subarus, a Fiat and a Lincoln. What else do I need? Clearly an Italian supermini - Autobianchi A112 Abarth! - $17k ( http://bringatrailer.com/2014/03/15/197 )
I'll spend the remaining $11,000 on a Ducati Monster S4RS Tricolore, and tires. ( http://www.cycletrader.com/listing/Ducati )

Ok. First of all, $5K on this 1988 Celica All-trac
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/452254
Next, i spend 24K on this guys 400whp V8 swapped FD RX7
http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topi
Finally, i'll need a nice DD, so i'd go out and buy a new Chevy SS (with a manual...fingers crossed you'll be able to get one soon right?)
Assuming the manual is a no cost option, the SS should cost $45,970 after taxes and destination charges.
That leaves me with....$30. Which i'd spend at pep boys on those fake buick portholes. and then stick on everything!!! MWUAHAHA. just kidding. I'd pocket the thirty bucks.

I wish I could! I think it works out about the same if you don't stay in too expensive hotels (after delivery). If I remember correctly there's a 7% discount on euro delivery. That's enough for airfare, and week in europe if you are frugal.
