One Make Garage.

Here are the rules and please try to read them, and follow them you wise asses, this time.

1. Unlimited funds

2. All cars have to be the same make. No Lamborghini, Audi, VW, SEAT are not the same make just because they are all part of VAG. Same to Fiat-Chrysler and GM and everyone else.

3. Maintenance and parts costs are a non issue.

4. Any work required on the cars must be performed by you in your garage so even though you don't have to buy the parts you have to change the wiring harness on that tr6 yourself every six months.

5. You have an imaginary family with a spouse, 3 kids, 2 dogs, and an elderly mother in law. At least one of your cars has to facilitate them as well.

6. This garage is north of the Mason Dixon so you also need to plan for winter.

Go

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot to add a picture. People won't read things without pictures Sean.

All-Mazda garage.

RX-7 for rotard shenanigans, Mazda5 for family hauling, Mazda6 for comfortable trips, three Miatas: one for spec racing, one for auto-x, and one for street shenanigans, Mazda pickup for work-use/off-roadings because thank you Ford Ranger platform, 323 GTX for rally shenanigans, and Mazda Carol for city car.

Porsche. 911 for me. Cayenne for the wife. Boxster for the daughter. Cayman and Macan for two sons. Panamera to shuttle the mother in law. Turbo and GTS variants of all of them. As much as I want the entire family to drive 962/917k/935.

Lexus' current lineup. Mercedes-AMGs. Ferrari.

2007 Aura XE V6. In-laws. Needs snow tires.

2008 Astra XR 3-door. Kid's car. Needs snow tires.

I grew up in a transport. They're not really that bad. I always wanted to have a 4 cylinder under the hood and a v8 in the back with the trim on the bottom covering the exhaust outlets and intakes and have it set up to flip a switch to slide the trim out of the way.

You roll up to the light with the 4 cylinder next to a cammed out Mustang and rev your 4 cylinder at him and he laughs. Then you rev your 4 cylinder some more and to drown you out he revs his v8 at you. Right before the light changes you start up your 572 and shoot flames out the exhaust and take off.

Hmmm, options. The choices are either Alfa Romeo, Triumph, Jaguar or Lancia really. The only stipulation I'd have is that if I'm providing cars for my family, they have to muck in maintaining them.

Lets just do Alfa first:

-GTV6 (with a 3.0l V6)

-75 3.0l

-Alfetta saloon (2.0l T-Spark)

-Alfa 6 (3.5l V6)

-Alfasud (for cheap driving and first car for kids)

-159 sportwagon (with 4.7l V8 and associated RWD hardware from a Maserati Granturismo)

-156 Sportwagon 2.5l diesel (for even cheaper driving)

-2600 Zagato

-8C Monza (if I run out of steam repairing them, I could sell that and employ a full-time mechanic if I bend the rules)

-Montreal (with a 3.0l Autodelta-tuned V8)

-4C

-2000 GTV

me? An X-drive for the winter, M3 + 335D for the summer, and ALL of the BMW motorcycles.

Ariel

Atom V8 for all purposes.

I can deliver the kids to school one at a time. I'll be about three times as quick for each run as I would be in an econobox, so I can easily accomplish all of the runs without anyone being tardy.

The elderly mother in law will probably have a heart attack after the first bout of insane acceleration. Tragic? Yes. Problem? Not as far as transportation is concerned.

The wife obviously loves the car as much as I do, otherwise she wouldn't have married me. If she doesn't, and subsequently leaves, I get more time with the car, and don't have to do the school run as often.

The dog will adore it. Face out of window sensation without having to stick face out of window.

I will do my grocery shopping online.
