Yeah I know Black RSX has done this before.

But, it's been over a year, so I thought why not do it again? What three cars would you have in your dream garage?

1) All-purpose vehicle - White Toyota Land Cruiser GX with the 4.6 straight six swapped out for the 4.7 V8 (EDITED: I changed from G to GX, because the G is pretty much a commercial vehicle with no creature comforts. It's a bench seat, no bucket seats, no center console trim, just a gear lever popping out of the floor, etc.)
2) Daily driver - black E39 M5 (EDITED: dunno why I didn't think of this, despite it being my favorite car of all time.)
3) Sports car - Aston Martin V8 Vantage, in pearl white

1)Porsche 997 C2: Fun continent cruiser
2)Porsche Boxster: Open motoring
3)Subaru Legacy 3.0 Spec. B Wagon: Daily Driver

Mitlov
My daily driver: Saab 9-3 SportCombi Aero.
Mrs. Mitlov's daily driver: Toyota Tacoma quad cab 4x4.
Back roads toy: Saturn Sky Redline.

(all of the above have manual transmissions, of course)

If Mrs. Mitlov's truck wasn't included in the three, I'd include my current Subaru as my "reliable daily driver" for when my Swedish sportwagon is in the shop. Hey, it happens.

While I really appreciate the craftsmanship of companies like BMW and Porsche, I'd just feel wierd owning them. Neither Mrs. Mitlov nor I came from the socioeconomic group where that sort of conspicuous consumption occurs. I'd just feel wierd driving around in a $50,000+ car. It's not who I am.
clarkma5
c'mon, at least upgrade to the 9-3 Aero if you're gonna be so boring.

*looks over relative stats*...okay, sure. But I disagree that mine is boring. There's nothing boring about a 260hp, 260ft-lbs turbocharged roadster. And I personally don't find any turbocharged Swedish sportwagon to be boring. And I'm just not the sort of person who would feel comfortable driving around in an RS4 or an M3. Like I said, it's not who I am.

Bravo

You know what that is a hard question.. just the 3 cars huh?

ok then

track ~ porsche 924 with the VW VR6 dropped in

just because i love it ~ Ferrari 456GT (in tour de france blue)

daily ~ Audi RS4


I could write infinite versions of this list its just one of thoose questons where you would keep on changing your mind.

I don't see the difference between all purpose and daily driver cars?

One of our local mainstream mags editors asked me the exact same question. Except it was "Track car, that you must be able to drive to and from the track", "Performance Car of your choice", and "Daily driver to carry the family". There was also a 4th car allowed thats of your choice.

Track Car: Ferrari Enzo (Or CGT, would have to test drive to decide smile.gif)
Daily beater: Audi RS4 (or M5, again after test driving them)
Performance car: Murcielago Roadster! For pimping around on weekends.
4th Car of any choice: Aston Martin Vanquish (for pimping around at night)

Well for myself, I'd want one car to take to the dunes, tow jet skis, quads, carry up to seven people around (say your friends and you are going on a road trip), that kind of thing. And a seperate one to drive around everyday, like back and forth from work and stuff.

Excellent choices, but I would rather have an Elise instead of Aston Martin

Mr b00st
Nismo - why have the Audi A8 AND the Stagea?

I think the Audi would make a better family car than the Nissan, which is probably really uncomfortable.

Anyway, yeah. i updated my list on the 1st page.
