Welcome to One Car Garage, in which I choose a manufacturer or class of vehicle, and you decide/choose a single vehicle (no matter how old, no matter how exclusive) to live with for the rest of your life. This is your only vehicle, and all expenses are paid for, including price of entry, insurance, gas, etc.

This time I give you free reins, brand, doors, colour, seats.. doesn't matter.

You've just hit the jackpot BIGTIME, you can buy ANY car you want, as long as it exists, built in a shed in northern Yorkshire? Built on a assembly line in North-Korea? Who cares.. A prototype that actually runs? Sure, pick your poison.

I had to think quite hard on this one, but I kept coming back to the Roos Engineering Aston Martin Lagonda Series 4 Estate/Shooting Brake. Yes, I could have had a Veyron, I could've had a Duesenberg or a Porsche 959.. But the if I've got all expenses covered? It can not be anything other than this.

Depends on what mood I'm in that day. I'd love to walk into some CEO's office, open a briefcase of $100's, and have them build me a one-off. Take the GT90 for example. Ford would build me one for the right price, right?

Either a Lamborghini Estoque (yes, I know it was never put into production, but I'm sure they'll make 1 if I toss enough money at them).

or the Ford Fiesta R5 (if Lamborghini isn't willing to make an Estoque).

Older VW Bug.

Invest the rest. Making more money appeals more to me.

Porsche 914-8 because It is both the ultimate sleeper, and I wouldn't be able to buy it otherwise, regardless of how much money I had.

I thought long and hard about this one, but this one is probably the one I'd cherish more than any other.

Toyota 222D, the one pictured had a 503E/3SGTE and a rumoured 750hp and 750kg's.

Nothing's ever done it for me quite like the Gullwing. The first time I saw one in person I nearly had a heart attack, and I firmly believe it's the most beautiful object I've ever seen. As long as I've loved cars, I've wanted a Gullwing.

I'd commission a specially built S-Class.
The body will be that of a W140, albeit made entirely out of Carbon fiber, and Aluminum, and painted with Twice as many layers of paint as the Rolls-Royces of today are.
The engine will be a Twin Turbocharged, Brabus engineered V12, mated to a 7-speed sports-automatic, as seen in the C63 Black/ E63 AMG.
The Chasis will be equal to that of the E63 AMG S " Hammer Wagon II " (I say II since the old one was the original hammer wagon)
It would be AWD, for the adverse weather conditions.
Inside, I want it to look like a W140, but with many modern touches found on the new S600.

This isn't cheating, I think. All these things that I listed are existant, but on many different cars. and you could in theory combine them in to one car!

A "luxury" prerunner. It is basically a trophy truck, but it has a/c, a semblance of an interior, and some sound deadening. Around 800-900 hp, and a nice cushy ride. A perfect daily driver.

A Lambo.

I think I would have a MB Grosser limo with chauffeur. I love driving as much as anyone else on here. but given the choice I could easily give-up driving. heres the thing I am 100% totally obsessed with cars other than women that is pretty much all I think of but I have more fun dreaming about owning X vehicle than actually driving X vehicle. I know I'm gonna get flamed on for this but I would rather have the Sultan of Brunei's car collection and not get to drive any of them than to have a Bugatti Veyron as a daily driver.

But if I had to choose one car to drive it would be the Ferrari Enzo.

A 1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R VspecII modified to my exact specifications, then bribe any necessary government official to make it legal in the US of A.

Probably an Alpina-ized E30 wagon with an S62 (The E39 M5 engine).

Ford AU Falcon XR8. We can afford to buy one of these, but, uh, we don't need it. :P

Money no object?

I'd cut down a new Z06 Corvette so I could drop it a Cobra body over it.

Then I'd practice scaring myself shitless on my own private racetrack.

If it's going to be my ONLY car, I'm going to have to go with something timeless and has a trunk. I would import and rebuild a Hakosuka to Singer quality.

I'd have the 300SLR Ulenhaut Coupé. Because beautiful body+gullwing doors+side pipes=awesome.

Even though this is my most favorite Porsche and Porsche is my favorite marque, I had to go with a Mercedes... I'm glad someone picked the 904 though. It's glorious.

It was between this and the 33 Stradale. Very. Tough. Choice.

I can imagine... While I love Alfa's (I have one...) and the 33 Stradale is arguable the best, I don't find it particularly beautiful. It is very stunning however.

1995 McLaren F1 LM, sure it's not the fastest or the best looking, but I seats 3 and has a 6spd manual

Well the Porsche is slightly larger, and I am 6' tall, so me driving the Alfa would be like...
