My garage would probably consist of a Mercedes-Maybach:

A Mercedes Sprinter Jetvan

A McLaren P1

An F-Type Jaaaag

An E-Type

A GT5 De Tomaso Pantera

A Gibbs Quadski

A Polaris Rush snowmobile, because Canada

A Vandenbrink Carver

A Lancia 037 Stradale

R31 GTS-R Skyline

And last but definetely not least. I’d pull a Bill Gates and buy two Holden Maloos (Malli?), crash test one, go through the process of legalizing it or whatever, and import it.

I’d need a massive garage to store all of it, but if you’re a billionaire, conserving garage space isn’t really a thing, now is it?

Damn, that’s quite a list. My collection would have a ‘63 ‘Vette Split Window Coupe, a Lemon Twist ‘70 Superbird, a hopped up ‘79 Dodge Li’l Red Express with a Cummins swap, a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX 1200R, and a Duc Monster 1200R.

If I was rich enough, all I’d do would be buy cars. First on the list is an R34 GTR M-Spec Nur in Millenium Jade though

Something something invest in your local community. Something something huge maintenance bill.

I’d fix up my Focus as a DD

buy a purple Viper ACR for track days

an Exige for weekends

and get a Suburban or something for utility and boat-pulling

Also would pick up a pair of waverunners and a wakeboard boat

and a big-ass pontoon boat to serve as the Labor Day and Fourth of July party barge:

Probable be good with that. Even with all that money I feel like owning more than like four or five cars would be kind of wasteful because you wouldn’t be able to drive them all as much as you’d like.

Forget the Maybach. The rest are cool.

I’d buy my dad’s boat back from my uncle (a Boston Whaler, 18 or 20 foot) and fix that up.

E63 wagon for gofast groceries and winter duty.

2012 Boss 302 in blue.

A new Alfa G-whatever, the version with the big engine.

A Triumph Scrambler.

And room for more as I think of them.

Hey, you said if I was obscenely wealthy. I’d have a race team!

El Rivinado > not for canada - australian in disguise 10/17/2015 at 18:12

My list is too long and most of them are easily obtainable even without millions of cash, so I’ll splurge on the cars I might never get without insane amounts of cash.

A Rolls Royce Phantom

Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV

Plymouth Superbird

1969 Shelby GT500

Ferrari 288 GTO

Ford GT

De Tomaso Mangusta

Cord 812

Aston Martin Lagonda

BMW i8

Vincent Black Shadow

and a Duesenberg Model SJ and a Zil-41407 limousine.

Pretty cool list no?

Counting sheep when wanting to go to sleep doesn’t work, I imagine a Jay Leno-like barn which I can fill with cars. These are the ones I can usually fantasize about before going zzzzzzzzzz

I guess I have a thing for boxy stuff with flared wheel arches going, or so.

Nothing from 2000’s or after but I would have plenty of old cars. Here are couple of examples.

Are you going for the TWR XJ220 or did you just post that one because it looks like sex?

A Landcruiser and a BRZ.

Can’t think that I would have need of anything else.

If I’m gonna have some old hyper cars might as well have them in racing spec.

I approve of this list, even if Ian Callum did ruin his Mk2.

Needs more Lister, though. And maybe a dollop of Caterham.

I’m an enthusiast. But even if I was obscenely wealthy, I still wouldn’t want that many cars and I couldn’t justify spending more than $100,000 on a car (there’s one exception though). That said, here’s my list:

Mercedes GL as a people hauler and because it’s such a good SUV

Ford F-150 because I kind dig trucks and to haul stuff

Mini Cooper for fun and TRACK DAY BRO (I don’t fit in Miatas)

Jeep Wrangler because it’s awesome

VW Phaeton for DD because stealth wealth

Here’s my only irrational one, the Ferrari F40. Because F40.

I was literally on the verge of listing a rally-prepped Samara as one of the cars I would get.

i don’t want a rally prepped one , just a standard road version.

And then pay GM an atrocious amount of money to develop me an ATS-V coupe with an LS7 in it, like it should have had in the first place...

Oh crud, you reminded me I forgot to add the Duesenberg SSJ! What a car to have!

Yeah. But unfortunately you really need to be obscenely wealthy to own one.

Just one vehicle, the original Saab Turbo.
