For years I've made long lists of what would fill my dream car garage. These lists would have specific trims and model years. Lately tough, I've come up with a more practical way to organize the cars that I pine for. Here's a list of all the cars that I hope to someday own. It's a fairly realistic group of cars that anyone making the average income could probably obtain, not necessarily all at the same time. One thing I realized is that 80% of the cars I want are within reach, which is a nice thought. Below listed are the cars, along with the best possible example of said car.
A Corvair
A 66-71 Cadillac
An AMC Eagle
An ex-police car
A Porsche
A Jeep XJ
A BMW E30 (325i)
A Miata (NA)
A 32-34 '3 window' Ford hot rod (With a 50s Hemi)
A rotary powered car (FD RX7)
A 65-77 Alfa Romeo coupe (2000Am GTV)
A 66-67 Pontiac Tempest/Le Mans (389 or 421)
A 67-69 Plymouth Barracuda (340 six pack)
A 97-03 Jag XJR (even better a XJ-C with an XJR engine)
A Jeep J10/Gladiator/Honcho/Commanche
A 12 cylinder car (Mercedes S/CL 600)
A Jeep CJ5
An International Scout
A Bentley or Rolls (Silver Shadow)
A TVR
A Studebaker (R2 supercharged Wagonair)
A Fiero (with a GNX engine)
A Camaro (probably a 6th gen)
A CTS-V (wagon)
A C6 Z06 (Z07)
The hand of cars that are a bit out of normal reach include: Alfa Romeo Tipo 33, Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari 250 GT swb, Iso Griffo, and I could probably grow this list all day so we'll stop here.
Personally I'd be pretty interested to see what other people's lists would look like.

My list consist of the following:
Ford Raptor Supercab
2002-2007 Dodge Viper SRT10 Convertible
Lamborghini LP550-2 Valentino Balboni edition
Tesla Model S
Husqvarna Svartpilen
This is all I can accommodate in my garage. The 3 cars and the bike go in the garage and the truck can sleep outside.

Must have been one hell of a cousin to have a Chevy in a garage full of Fords.

What a cool image, reminds me of the "justification for higher education" poster. 1/2 of these would make it into my garage (GT and 458). I would probably replace the Viper with some sort of high HP Mustang GT500 and the 911 with an M5 (need some space). Of course this may just be part of this person's garage.

A Dodge Viper, Ferrari 458, Ford GT (not GT40, the 40 in GT40 is how many inches tall the GT is. The newer ones are 43 inches tall, and GT43 doesn't fit...) and a Porsche 911 S? Weirdest collection ever...
