The 12 Car Garage That Defines You

You get 12 cars. The goal is not to make the most expensive garage or the most obscure or exotic garage. The goals is to create a 12-car garage that perfectly describes you and who you are as a person and as an enthusiast.

But, as with Hercules and the Twelve Trials, there’s a catch- artistic freedom is an illusion. To all things there must be imbued a purpose. A such, each bay of your 12-car garage has a sign above it, describing the role of whatever vehicle fits in that bay. All of us my abide by these same roles and labels, though unique interpretation may be taken in regards to how a vehicle may fit that role. Each bay is custom-fit for the vehicle that will be placed into it, but only one vehicle is allowed in each bay. Each vehicle is paid for, including mods and maintenance, for the entirety of your life. In exchange, these vehicles are for life and cannot be changed.

This is not simply 12 cars you want. It is not just 12 cars you like. It’s not just a dream garage. This is a garage that when someone opens the doors and sees it, they will immediately understand who you are as a person. This is a garage that fulfills your soul and, deep down, completes you.

Choose wisely and show us what motorized chariots encompass you.

Please note: No duplicates (Patrick George...) and please note which role each car on your list is fulfilling.

12 Cars is too many to make this a challenge. Just pick 2 out of every interesting vehicle class! Also, what do modifications like “Upgraded reliability” even mean? If we’re buying 12 cars in Fantasyland, one of mine will be a unicorn.

EDIT: I didn’t read your whole post. Hang on a minute....

Hmmm.... Alrighty then!

(Because I need one.)

(Because I need one of these, too.)

(I also need this.)

(And this is also necessary.)

(Jeeves will drive this one for me)

(Just brushed steel/aluminum/whatever on the frame, but with a removable body done up in bright pink, green, yellow, blue, orange, etc. in a very RC-car-esque over-the-top paint job)

(With a Hayabusa engine)

(Typical TVR pearlescent, but with a pink wrap, too. I’m not sure what I want more.)

(A real Ssangyong Korando, not a custom Jeep)

(In yellow, green, or orange.... Too hard to choose.)

(P90D, of course)

(And don’t think I forgot the Escort.)

The roles create the challenge. I had to sit there and chew on my thumbs for over half of the roles while trying to decide which vehicle would leave me feeling most content and fulfilled in that role.

Also, an example of upgraded reliability would be converting my 1991 Audi 80 quattro from CIS mechanical injection to modern electronic fuel injection. Basically fixing known reliability issues with more modern or better-engineered alternatives.

It’s almost the same, I have less need for activity specific vehicles though. Like I wouldn’t autocross much but I do love a good midnight cruise.

I don’t know if I could even own twelve cars, and certainly not each with its own role... my fantasy-land vision would just be to select cars I expected to be able to bond with, which would probably end up being four or so enthusiast cars at a time, plus one beater van for my filth-producing children. It’s more the car-driver relationship than role for me. I love snow-driving the S2000 just as much as canyon carving, though they are very different experiences.

DD:

Family/grocery: 1988 Citroën CX 25 Prestige Turbo 2. Long wheelbase version, because why not?

Track Toy:

Public Canyon Carver: 1988 Peugeot 205 GTI. Best hot hatch of the 1980s. I already own one, and it’s a blast. It’s extremely stock, just the way I like it. Actual car pictured.

Public rally car:

Work/tow:

Cruiser:

Grand Tourer: My current DD. 2000 Peugeot 406 coupe, but with an upgraded engine and gearbox. I already use it for comfortably cruising on the German Autobahn all day long, while sitting in its nice factory red leather Recaros. Now I’d like to do it with more power and more engine agility at 200+ km/h. No more short geared 5-speed but a 6 (or 7) speed with a tall top gear.

Supercar: Citroën SM. Yes, a FWD Supercar. I don’t care. Citroën SM.

All terrain:

Autocrosser: 1995 Citroën Xantia Activa. Specifically the Activa, which can outrun supercars of similar vintage in the curves due to its active suspension. I’d like to keep it stock, to improve the shock factor on those unfamiliar with this comfortable sub 200 hp family car. And yes, it’s FWD.

Hoonigan: 1991 VW Golf. My first car, which also happens to be my grandfather’s last car. I joined him when picking it up new from the dealer. I was 8 then. I parked it indoors in 2013, awaiting a restomod. Anyway, this car will have to be modified quite extensively. I’d like a modern turbocharged engine, like a 2.0 TSI from the Golf R 2.3 Ecoboost from the Focus RS with a 6 speed. The suspension will have to be modified extensively. Actual car pictured, half a year before being retired. Actual cars pictured. Both the Golf and the 406 from #8.

I might have to update this later.

This assumes my residence is in the Isle of Man.

Regular: Mitsubishi Mirage (to become RWD after 2 years)

Standard-issue: ND Miata (no changes)

Family car: Focus ST Estate (slightly bigger snail and possible AWD)

Back-road warrior: Lancia Stratos (Singer-fication)

Rally car: Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X FQ400 (weight reduction)

Dream Car: Ferrari 458 Speciale (I wanna test Ferrari on this: lighter carbon tub, handling upgrades, and power increases that the powertrain can take while still staying N/A )

Everywhere, Every-Season, Floods-be-Damned: Mitsubishi Pajero EVO (Singer-fication with addition of two extra doors and 3rd row, internals upgraded to modern comp specs)

Cruiser: Audi RS 7 (no changes)

Circuit Weapon: BAC Mono (custom-made—BAC can do that, with a 2-liter V10 and other upgrades to back up the engine, also air brakes)

Free Supercar at Level 223: Aston Martin V12 Vantage S (gearbox overhaul so it’s faster; powertrain upgrades as far as Aston can stretch it while still keeping N/A )

Free Supercar at Level 575: LaFerrari (more generous KERS, recalibration to accommodate Pirelli P Zero Trofeo-R tires).

The Offroader:

1966 Land Rover Series IIa short wheelbase (“88"”). Already got it, don’t need anything else unless the offroading area is miles and miles away. If that be the case,

The Tow Vehicle:

Late ‘40s International KB6. Depending on gas prices, might bear with a swap to a 7.3 Powerstroke. I would be actually a little surprised if there’s nothing off the shelf to swap a Red Diamond six for either a Cummins or Navistar family V8...

DD1 - the This Amuses Me:

1963 Ranchero with aluminum Rover V8 and Jag rear suspension, four speed on the column. Already got it, but it may not be 100% reliable. Which leaves room for -

DD2 - The Option/Distance Runner:

‘79ish 924 (I prefer the older interior) with a turbodiesel swap. Mileage out the wazoo, trolling potential, comfortable, and even pretty modern.

The Open Air Parade/Car Show/Drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway Car:

‘48-’50 Packard convertible. Not horribly fast, nor horribly slow, very rare and select, with a straight eight and great creature comforts.

The Morgan ThreeWheeler - a Morgan ThreeWheeler.

This would be a Morgan ThreeWheeler, because Morgan, and also because ThreeWheeler.

The Road Trip Car:

1959 Lincoln Capri (have it) - because other than abysmal gas mileage, there’s something to be said for road tripping in a car with one of the largest interiors ever.

The Family Car:

AWD new Transit (2014-present), passenger version, short wheelbase, low top. Great mileage, incredibly roomy, not your everyday minivan, and capable anywhere.

The Businessman/Business Lunchgoer:

E38 V12, any. Let’s say I’m having to take some guys to dinner, or otherwise seem professional, and taking them in the Packard or Lincoln would be considered showing off or obnoxious. Time for a 7er.

The GT/Track Toy:

Expanded capacity modified XJS V12. Part of the interior would be left to stay #classy, but all the horrors under the hood would be reduced and made excusable by being an occasional use driver anyway. The flaws of an XJS as a daily driver (relatively small cabin, reliability, fuel consumption, quirks) would simply not be a problem for a track toy.

The Wacky Engine Swap/Exhibition Car:

‘50 Studebaker Business Coupe. With a jetliner APU, this one would be mostly a novelty, but would be useful to drum up business for a car mods business. As such, it would be fitted with marketable retrofuturism and classic mods - drivetrain toys, electric suspension, trunk, door, and hood hinges, and whatever I can show off out of the trunk.

The Sleeper:

Late 90s GrandMa with a 3V Triton V10 swap, supercharger or twin turbos, CVPI rear suspension, built transmission with manual valve body, and copious weight reduction. Exhaust cutouts with a very quiet setup, barreled steelies with early ‘90s OEM hubcaps. While the Jag would be stripped down for tracking, this car would have one purpose only - surprise drag racing talent.

12 cars...? That’s waaaay too many. After all the cruiser and the grand tourer could easily be one and the same, and so could be the DD and the family hauler. And a lot of the other categories. That said, let’s see if I can play.

1. Daily

IRL this would be the same as my 2. as I have to ferry the kids and buy groceries daily, but whatever. For #1 I’ll have a nice clean Porsche 911 SC, with good upholstery and working air-con. Nothing fancy just small upgrades for DD-ability, like a bit better brakes, new injection and ignition, better hi-fi, and maybe some nice wheels.

2. Family hauler and grocery getter

This is by far the hardest part. But as I have 11 other spots, let’s go with the cleanest Lexus LS 400 out there. Small upgrades to make it brake better and connect with phone, otherwise beautifuly stock.

3. track toy

hm. Maybe an 1986 MR2 like i already have, but with a complete track brake and suspension upgrade, and a tuned Honda K20, with its own 6speed and LSD in place of the 4age. I know what I’m talking here: I drove an MR2 that had everything track-ready, but with the original motor, and it was only that ~90 HP short of perfect.

4. The public road canyon carver

I’ll have another air-cooled 911, but this one is thoroughly built. Widebody with good wheels, is lower, harder, louder and more powerful. Sport brakes too. A cage too, not full, but something for when i roll it. Moonroof is important.

5. Road-legal rally car.

Lancia Stratos. Do I need to explain???

6. Work-Tow vehicle:

Pre-1990 Mercedes G, 3-door with gasoline engine. Not military, checkered seats a must.

7. Cruiser

Peugeot 504 Coupé V6. There will be some upgrades to the motor so it runs smoother and sounds better, and i need the best interior possible, but otherwise, let’s roll.

8. Grand-Tourer

I need something big and comfy to take the whole family of 5 wherever we want to go. Let’s say Volkswagen Multivan. I don’t care abut the engine, as long as it is a powerful diesel, but make it Syncro with an automatic gearbox.

9. Supercar

Porsche Carrera GT. Supercars normally aren’t my thing, but I got to have one of those.

10. All-terrain, all-season beast

This I’m going to hijack. I need a winter car, something that I can throw around on the white stuff. Let’s have a BMW 330i of the E46 flavour, extra lights up front and lots of body panels and spare wheels when shit hits the fan and the car hits... something.

11. Autocross

Subaru Impreza 22b. Because I have to have one.

12. Hoonigan

I’ll have my Peugeot 505, but with all the upgrades I can think of: rally brakes and suspension, rat-racing setup on the whole, and... a Ford 302 up front with a 5speed and LSD to take the punishment behind it. Oh hell yeah.

This is a 504, but to prove my point, listen to it. LISTEN TO IT!

There. It was hard work to hoard these together even like this, I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to procure, tax and DRIVE all of these in real life.... I would be perfectly happy with just #2, 4, 7, 9 and 12 in my life.

okay, lets get this over with:
1: super car- Lexus LFA
I like to be weird. that much is known. I’m also a huge fan of the famous japan reliably, and i LOVE lexus’s current design language (which i say stemmed from this car).

2: winter/tow car 4x4 Dodge ram 2500 top trim, diesel, lowered, tuned to 500HP
I like to help our my friends. a lot. I also need to tow my bikes to and from the track or a shop or a show. I dont need something overly huge and over compensating (i’m not that kind of person) But I do need something with a bit more hauling capacity and interior space. Its not going off-road, but it is going to be used for winter duty. So a mild drop (or air bags in the back) to help facilitate loading of bikes would be awesome.

and 500+HP because i might as well be somewhere quick.

3: retro machine/date night: singer 911
I’m an engineering student. I can appreciate the tech and know-how that goes behind it. Its a gorgeous gorgeous car. and its not incredibly ostentatious either. + dat flat-6 wail on a date night + the classy-ness of an older porsche = big hit with the date. Also, this owuld be my only manual.

4: hyper car: koineggseg agera r
Because I love tech. so lets use tech to go as fast as friggen possible. SPPEEDDDDDD

now, MOTORCYCLES!

5:daily: Triumph daytona 675R
weird engine? check
high end suspension? check
equally high end brakes? check
looks that could kill and a decent after market? checker-rino there buddy

6 hoon machine: kawasaki Z1000
1000c power, yes sir.
looks like a dam decpticon and wants to eat youi? YEP.
naked and easy to make a crash frame for: yep

7 track rat: SVXR 1000 frankenstien bike
I love my SV. i really do. but i want it to have more power. a LOT more power.

So take a SV650 frame, swap over GSX-R suspension (like mine is) and aquire a big CC, high compression V-twin from a Ducati or something and make it fit in. THEN add a turbo to it. Because POWER

8 enduro/dual sport: a KTM of some sort
I like my euro stuff. and KTM is the best for off-roading.

9 power cruiser: tirumph rocket three with a turbo kit on it
If i’m going to go big. I might as well go as big as they reasonably get (boss-hoss isnt a bike. its just a SBC wank-fest with wheels) 2.3L triple in a motorcycle. strap turbo, tune to 400HP. embarrass the SHIT out of bros on busas

10 oddball: EBR 1190RS
Eric buell always had REALLY cool eningeerin ideas. I would LOVE to ride this 1190CC rotax powered, CF bodied, racer-replica of a beast. that front brake is baller too.

I’m only at 10..hmm

11: sleeper car: brabus tuned E 63 AMG wagon. becaue 1000hp wagon. and scare the CRAP out of my friends.

12: touring bike: seeing as I have ONE more spot, i’;ll grab a BMW K1600GTL as tourer. because I6 BMW. (AND FRICKEN LASER BEAM HEADLIGHTS)

I’ll play:

1.) The Daily:

2016 Challenger Scat Pack. 8-speed auto. Dark Blue. Big, powerful, LOUD and imposing but far more sophisticated and gentle than it looks. But it can take care of business when it’s needed.

2.) Grocery Getter/Family Hauler:

Audi Allroad. Sensible, but fun to drive. Very nice inside. Wife loves it. Quick, comfortable, and spacious. Also, dark blue.

3.) The Track Toy:

Big and loud but dances far better than people expect it to. In the 2003 Red-white-blue Compuware le Mans livery

4.)The Canyon Carver:

Polaris Slingshot with 2.0T Ecotec swap:

5.) The Street Legal Rally Car:

Subaru Forester 2.5 XT. 6-speed manual swap, with bigger turbo, 2" lift, off road tires, and O-Z rally wheels. Like this, but world rally blue with gold wheels:

6.) The Tow Rig/ work truck:

78-79 Ford F350 Dually Crew Cab. On an 08+ F350 RWD chassis, with a 6.7 Powerstroke/auto and black leather interior from a new FX2/FX4. Like this but appearing outside with period-correct Alcoa 16.5 inch alloy wheels. Also a 3-car gooseneck trailer for whatever I’ll be driving when I get there.

7.) The Cruiser:

1970 Mercury Cougar Convertible. Blue on black. Just like this one actually. Bone stock XR7 in this color scheme with the deluxe leather interior:

8.) The Grand Tourer:

1962 Lincoln Continental. Dark burgundy with burgundy/ivory “Tuxedo” interior. 6.2 Boss/ 6-speed auto with quiet exhaust for comfy cruising. Airbags and 17" alloys - nothing too big - for super-soft ride but cornering for modern highway speeds:

9.) The Supercar:

Somewhat common but beautiful and can still be had with a proper three-pedal manual for the fun of it. As I’m 6'3" and about 300 lbs, it’s also big enough for comfort, too. 991 Targa for the win.

10.) The all season all terrain beast:

Early Bronco with hardtop. Mild lift with 33" tires, modern automatic transmission and full-time 4wd transfer case with a diesel (Ford 3.2 5 cylinder perhaps?) swap. Reliable enough for long trips to the trails and home after a day of moderate wheeling.

11.) The Autocrosser:

R53 Cooper S Hardtop, manual, without sunroof, stripped and caged. Super-sticky tires, and fully prepped to attack the spaces between the cones.

12.) The Weekend Getaway:

Corvair Ultravan. Designed in the 60s by an aircraft engineer with monocoque fuselage-style chassis powered by Corvair/ 2 speed powerglide. I’d update the interior to be a cozy modern place, with a Subaru EZ36/5-speed auto out back pushing the whole thing along.

(because I have no interest in insane hooniganism)

I love this. So...

The Daily: A Renault 4 TL...

...which I have built with a little help from the fantastic people at ICON (the crazy over-the top custom off roaders). Nice patina underneath the turquise body. Modern suspension, engine and trans. Maybe an old 964 aircooled engine. But keep the shifter up on the dash! LED lighting all round. A nice stereo, and a bunch of cupholders and other storage inside. A nice AC. A tiny bit lowered, on old BBS wheels, or even some vintage japanese wheels. Lots of dynamat to keep it cool/warm and quiet. I am drooling I love this.

Family hauler: ICON 1954 De Soto wagon

Perfect as-is.

Track: A Peugeot 205 GTI.

I know it’s been suggested already but it’s always on my top 10 lists... Oh, and I want it in all black like this one. With a gutted interior, a spot for my helmet and gear. A short throw shifter. Original engine but with new parts to squeeze out more power.

Canyon carver: A Nissan R31 Skyline rs turbo

Like this one, but with gold mesh period wheels. And a bigger wing on the back, or a ducktail.

Rally: An old Escort Mexico. Because sideways.

Work/tow: A late 80's Suburban.

I don’t need a pickup, this has a more functional bed and can tow stuff as well. Again take it to the guys at ICON to make it last forever. Gloss bright yellow, with black trim (bullbar, rear steps to the roof rack, off-road bumpers, sidesteps and spare tire and jerry can holders). Barn doors on the rear. A bunch of stickers from places I’ve visited on the rear side windows.

Cruiser: 64 Impala ‘vert

Beige/cream color. On airbags. Yes. A raspy v8. Straight pipes, because fuck you neighbors.

Grand Tourer: A Ferrari 250GT SWB

Red, with a tan leather interior. New tires which look period correct. Maaaybe a new stereo, but it has to look right. New brakes. The original v12 stays in. Tan leather gloves. Wooden steering wheel. Oh, mamma...

Supercar: Ferrari F40.

I rarely lust over supercars, but this is one of them. I love it. Like this. Not the racing version. I want the one with the leather seats.

Off road: A Wrangler. Not sure the 2 or 4 door. I might even go for the 2 door.

Outfitted with all the overland stuff. A tent on the top, a water spout in the rear bumper.

Autocross: A Chevy Citation notchback. But hear me out, though...

... In this color. A new LS engine. Straight pipes. Lowered. On very meaty tires, the kind of setup when the tires seem a bit too big for the rims. Kind of opposite to a stretched tire. With plenty of sidewall. And lettering. Nice steelys or similar cool wheels. A trick new suspension, the kind where it fills up the whole trunk. Gutted interior, but then covered up with a cool and sleek piece, so that no wires or anything stick out. A roll cage. Maybe even flared stick-on fenders, a ducktail spoiler, a lower front airdam. Possibly blacked out trim, but I’ll have to think about it.

Hoonigan: A hot rod. Because fuck you, that’s why.

But I want mine without a chopped roof. I love the boxy proportions of a 2 door 30's car. No fenders. Beaten up and with some patina. Again, I want it beefed up. New suspension, a bit newer seats. Off road tires. A subtle roll cage. Maybe a new V8 for reliability. But other than that, keep everything old school. Oh, and I want white lettering on the tires.


There we go. I very much enjoyed this, thank you for the thread!
I spent more than I’d like to admit coming up with this list. I really have to mention some cars which I couldn’t fit in: A Suzuki Samurai, a Tucker 48', a Honda Life Step-van, a Dodge van (like they modified them in japan), and a Ferrari 465 Venice wagon.

Ok, told you I’d come back to this. It’s taken long enough just to get this far, so it’ll have to do. Subject to change, I’m always into different stuff. If these garages need not include my wife’s transportation, I’d strike the Sienna for something else.

Daily : VW E-Golf, charged via solar. Plaid GTI interior. Though I’ve always been a car nut, I also care deeply for the health of our planet, and there’s no reason for me to burn gas to get to work.

Truck : VW T3 Doka Syncro, 1.9L TDI swap, locking diffs, green, pretty much just like this one, constantly loaded with mountain bikes & trailbuilding tools or surfboards. Part-time daily in inclement weather. Tough and economical, goes anywhere. As a VW nerd and a guy who often needs a truck, this is the only choice.

Long distance car : E39 M5, bone stock, gray or silver. Understated and highly capable, as I hope my acquaintances find me.

Cruiser : 1965 Ford Galaxie 427, green with slight mods like this, exhaust cutouts, kid seats in back. Classy and understated, I can take the kids to school in it but if I have a case of the fuckits, this is the car I fire up to make some noise and slay some tire.

Autocrosser : Mk1 Austin Cooper S. I’ve done this, and have never had more fun in a car. A good car for quirky people, making friends, and laughs.

Scare the shit out of me/make me giggle car : Porsche 930 with the boost turned up, an open wastegate and no muffler. Shows my appreciation for German engineering, and their less well known party side.

Wife’s family hauler : Toyota Sienna, bagged on some nice wheels, with a few JDM bits for style, and a killer stereo. Function first, but with a touch to set it apart to those in the know.

My family hauler : 1995.5 Audi S6 Avant, green over black, lowered slightly with some choice 034 Motorsport bits and upgraded brakes, but stock cosmetically. Sleeper.

The fun weekend car to have around, just for kicks : Alfa Romeo GTV6, red, subtly modified with loud exhaust, Euro bumpers and small fender flares, 3.0L swap, bulletproofed wherever possible. For when I’m feeling extroverted.

The backroad attack machine/Track car : BMW 2002ti, built 2.0 with Weber 45s, 3.90LSD, wide fenders, Recaros, and more. Basically a replica of this, sans decals.

The living room car, my piece of kinetic art (also to be run on very special occasions) : Lancia D24. There are several other suitable cars for this, but I could just sit and stare at this machine for hours.

The car I own just for the noise it makes (also, for the era it represents) : Matra MS670. I’m an audiophile and car enthusiast, and this is the greatest sounding machine ever created in the history of humanity. When the oil runs out, this should be the last car run.

Spridget > Desu-San-Desu 01/25/2016 at 17:31

1

The daily:

-BMW 2002tii, with round taillights and thin bumpers. Original wheels at original height. Brown/tan interior with the “peppercorn” carpet. I’d be tempted to swap it from fuel injection to dual Webers, but I probably wouldn’t for the sake of originality. It be just like this, except in bacal blue (like the one from the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Kathleen Madigan episode)

Road trip machine:

-VW Split Window Bus, in Kombi trim so I can take out the seats and convert it to a camper or a work van whenever necessary. Upgraded with a 1600cc engine, dual Solex carbs, and electronic ignition. Original patina’d paint, but with all structural rust removed. A roof rack and fog lights like this one has, but slightly lowered.

Fun car (no tracks near me, so I changed the category):

-On nice days when I have spare time, this is my backup DD. Stock, driver Condition Renault 4cv.

Public road canyon carver:

-Matra Djet. The original version, in this yellow or blue like the Lane Motor Museum’s.

Road legal rally car:

-Saab 93b. Technically speaking, it was used in rallys without modification, so I’m counting it as a rally car.

Work/tow vehicle:

-Citroen HY. Stock, in this blue or patina’d. With a trailer and hitch for hauling home projects.

Cruiser:

-Citroen DS21 or DS23 Pallas with the leather interior. Facelifted model with no upgrades; perfectly stock in concours condition.

GT:

-MG MGB GT V8. Not that great inline handling, but Rover V8. Converted to triple webers and quad exhausts.

Supercar:

-You said supercar. I don’t know what is more super than the greatest car ever made.

Second Fun Car (Not big on offroading, so I changed the category):

-VW Beetle split window “Zwitter.” A fun restored car to drive around on weekends.

Autocrosser/parking lot hoon machine/country backroads destroyer:

-1275cc MG Midget, built exactly like this one with a Datsun 210 5 speed, a roll bar, original interior, gunmetal gray wire wheels, and a factory hardtop.

Hoonigan:

-Step 1:Take a beat to hell muscle car or American car; it doesn’t matter which one, but my first choice would be a ‘67 Mustang. It doesn’t necessarily have to be American; imports are OK too, as long as it’s old and patina’d.

-Step 2: Strip the interior. Headliner? Fuck that. Carpet? Fuck that. Door cards? Fuck that? Rear seats? Fuck that? Front seats? Fuck that? Leave the dash in place. As for the window controls and door handles that were in the door cards, leave the mechanisms in place, dangling loosely.

-Step 3: The exterior could use some work. If the paint is original and patina’d, leave it all except for the hood and rocker panels, which should be painted flat, rattle can black.. (NOTE: Pontiac Trans Am should not have hood painted.) Apply primer wherever necessary. If the paint doesn’t look that good, paint the entire car flat black or primer. Paint over all chrome except for bumpers if you’re doing this.

-Step 4: Time for some engine mods. There are many, many choices of engines I’d use for this. Top choices include:

Ford 429 or 427

Small block chevy

MOPAR 340 or 440

Toyota 2jz, Twin Cam, or 22r.

Mazda Rotary

Jaguar V12

Hayabusa

BMC/Rover B Series and Rover V8

Nissan KA24DE, L24, and L28

Fiat Twin Cam

Take any one of these engines, and drop it into car. Now for carbs. Webers, Solexs, Mikunis, and Holleys would be my name brand hoice, but just put on whatever fits. Same goes for transmission, and axle nd subframe upgrades if necessary.

-Step 5: Now that the motor’s done, the interior needs upgrading. Drop in race buckets for the passenger and driver, along with race harnesses. Weld the glovebox and other dash openings shut, or you can use them as a built in toolbox. Wiring and switches should be done in a haphazard way. Duct tape is recommended. If you desperately need dash cards, cardboard is a good material to work with. Lastly, a full roll cage goes where the passenger seat used to go. Sunroof, if present should be welded shut.

-Step 6: Exterior mods. New wheels are necessary. It doesn’t matter what kind; I recommend Cragars, Slot Mags, gold meshies, steelies, gold painted steelies, American Racing Wheels, or whatever you like. Thicker rubber on the back wheels is mandatory. You cannot keep the car factory stance; it must be lowered or lifted. Fog lights or rally lights are a must have.

-Step 7: Now, you just need a few finishing touches.Exhaust should be quad at the rear, side pipes, or baja style. Wheels should be converted to disc brakes, unless they are all drums, in which case they should be left as is for maximum hoonage potential. Suspension should be upgraded from factory if it hasn’t already. Hood pins are mandatory, as hoods can fly open at optimum hoonage speeds (if you don’t want to do this, you can just ditch the hood entirely.) The trunk should be gutted and replaced with a fuel cell; tools and spare can be put somewhere else. Lights should have race tape placed across them for maximum safety. Windows can be converted to plexiglass if necessary.

You know, I already felt a little bad about excluding the R53 Cooper S from the list, considering how much I love currently having one as a D.D., but at the end of the day...I feel it’s just too limited by not having a rear differential. I came really close to having an AWD/RWD version as my Hoonigan choice, but the more I thought about, the more it just felt...wrong.

In the event I ever had to put the GTV6 in the shop for an extended period of time, the R53 is my immediate go-to as a backup daily, haha.

alright, here’s my list (sans images since I’m lazy)

-DD: Challenger SRT8 . Dark blue over Brown. It’s big and comfy, exactly what I want on my commute. it would be stick, because no, I don’t want an auto.

-Family Hauler/Ski Pig: 2009 Audi A6 Avant. With some engine and exhaust work, this would be a great family car. Color: White on brown leather.

-Track Toy: Stripped out Z3M convertible with a bunch of racecar mods.

-Canyon Carver: 1973 BMW 2002 turbo , painted Ferrari red with a turbo stripe delete. replace hood, fenders and trunk lid with Carbon fiber bits, and have those wrapped to match the body. shave the bumpers down a bit. VERY loud race exhaust, big brakes, and a 16" version of the factory wheels with 255-wide tires at all 4 corners are a must.

-don’t want a road legal rally car, so i’ll take a boulevard racer. 1971 Mustang Mach 1. I’d drop in a BOSS 429 engine, a 4-speed, and a loud loapy exhaust.

-work rig: Gimme a GMC Sierra Denali with chunky tires, and i’ll be the happiest worker alive!

-Cruiser: Jag E-Type. ‘Nuff said.

-GT car: Bentley Brooklands. because when you absolutely, positively gotta cross a continent, you might as well do it as a gent.

-Supercar: A Lambourghini Countach. I adore it. it may not be fast, but it’ll be plenty for me.

All season Beast: A modified Q7 V12 TDI.

-My Z3M will do AutoX, so i’ll get another classic. This time, i’ll get myself an Alfa GTV.

-Hoonigan: who needs it? I'd much rather have a Hellcat ;)

I guess I have to do this, too.

Daily duties:

Swap great sounding, but underpowered and inefficient as fuck Lampredi 60° V6 for not underpowered Lampredi 65° Dino V6, alternatively 3.7 Alfa V6 with some mild chassis improvements. Preventatively add rust protection.

Practical stuff:

Same modifications as daily.

Track weapon:

At one point I was considering a 328 MM body swap on an E46 M3 chassis.

Canyon carver/ Touge monster:

Built engine, close ratio 5-speed, some upgraded brakes and suspension.

Road-legal rally car:

Keeping it simple.

NUTZFAHRZEUG:

Towing stuff:

Grand-Tourer:

With a 20B rotary and automatic transmission as Citroën intended.

Supercar:

Eh, don’t need a supercar

Off-Road:

Autocross:

Hoon:

With modfications.
