Time for yet another dream garage challenge. Here are the rules of this one: You are offered the opportunity to have any car you want, free of charge and expenses covered, every month for one full year. On the first of the month your new car arrives and your previous car is removed. But, of course, there are conditions.

First, this is the only car you’re allowed to use for the course of the month. You must live with this car as your daily. Any cars you currently own will be stored away in a warehouse and returned to you at the end of the year. You’re allowed to rent a vehicle to fulfill any unusual needs you may have that your monthly car can’t suit, but all rentals must be 72 hours tops and you’re only allowed four rentals over the course of the year. You can’t keep a car for more than a month, and you can’t use a car you’ve already used later in the year.

Second, as you must give the car back in the condition you received it, no modifications beyond minor things like tires are allowed. This isn’t to say you can’t choose a modified or custom car as one of your 12, but for the sake of this game to choose a non-stock/non-factory option you must be able to show proof that one already exists. So no rocket-powered Citroen 2CV’s unless you can find a photo/video of one.

Them’s the rules. Fill your calendar.

Shit, man. Hitting me with the hard questions on a Monday?

I won’t get into specifics but throw in any real variety of truck, hot hatch and legitimate SUV with a V8 powered pony car in the summer and you’ll round my year out pretty well.

You know, the simple pleasures of 4 wheel driving the majority of the time will do quite well.

Wow, hard question, after a mediocre thorough thought, here goes:

Januari: 2015 Landrover Defender 110, nice for in the snow(if we get some).

Februari: 2008 Audi RS6 Avant, still capable if it is a bit slippery and bloody fast.

March:2016 BMW i8, why not drive the future?

April: 2015 Mclaren P1, same reason as the i8.

May: 2016 Alfa Romeo 8C Disco Volante Spider by Carrozzeria Touring

June: Singer 911 Targa, I’ll take mine in dark blue with tan.

July: Superformance Daytona Coupe, usable due to the added AC and replica reliability and the boot is big enough to use it for a nice summer road trip.

August: Ferrari 550 Barchetta, because who needs a roof.

September: RWB 993, just not with too much stance, a racy stance will do.

October: 2016 Rolls Royce Wraith, dark blue with silver and a beige/blue interior please.

November: 2016 Nissan GTR, bloody fast and kinda practical probably.

December: 2016 Alpina D5 wagon, can easily fit the christmas tree.

Didn’t fully manage to keep it practical, did I?

Based on your list I'm guessing you have a family?

Funny enough no, just my SO and a Pain-In-The-Ass-To-Keep-Seated Siberian Husky, that’s part of the reason.

But mainly I occasionally need to move some of my companies’ equipment around for demonstrations and events and so on, so cargo space is a must if it’s the only car I can USE, my personal car is a 2 seater with no cargo space at all, but out of necessity I mostly use the company’s SUV.

Hey that’s not fair, you are getting way more than 12 cars, of course assuming they would be replaced as soon as they break down. :P

I rarely need cargo space or more than 2 seats, so here goes.

January: McLaren F1 LM

Ferruary: Ferrari FXX K

March: Pagani Zonda R (in naked blue carbon)

April: Koenigsegg 1:1

July: Hennessy Venom GT Spyder

August: 1961 Ferrari GT California (in red of course)

September: Jaguar XJ220

October: Mercede CLK GTR

November: Lamborghini Veneno

December: Gumpert Apollo

At this point, my life would be complete.

C’mon man. Literally any car in the known universe at your fingertips and you inlcude a new Mustang GT? How about a GT 350R or a Hellcat at least. Or check out my list ;)

No me gusta el Challenger. And the 350 doesn't have back seats right? Or is that just the R?

I believe the 350 still has back seats. And you gotta swap the Hyundai 5.0 for a Phantom or a Bentley. The new Bentayga has plenty of room for the family!
