What would be in your dream garage?
- Thread starter GaryMX5
- Start date
I always like the obscure supercars like the Cizetta V16 with four pop-up headlights, or the Jaguar xjr15/xj220 Mosler MT900, and numerous others. Check out the Lotec C1000 of only one was built for some middle Eastern king at a price of 800k in the early 90's. Being a huge Corvette fan since I was a kid I have to nominate having a Corvette Speedster that Calloway built only 12 total.
I can confirm that a 10k rated Mohawk 2-post lift, can lift 10k without issue.
As for the contents in a dream garage, I'm pretty content right now.

mid 2000’s Porsche Carrera 911 GT3 for weekends.

I could probably add more to that list if I sat down longer to think about it
Excluding the un obtainable Ferrari 250 GTO and million+ dollar babies such as the BMW M1 and keeping this to reasonable dreams:
1) Ferrari 308 GTSi
2) Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo
3) Porsche 930
4) Daimler SP250....perhaps the homeliest sports car ever, but loveable, fun to drive, fiberglass and hemi V8 sound
5) Renault R5 Turbo (original)
6) UMM Alter..perhaps the homeliest off roader ever, but capable and you won't see yourself at every fuel stop, unless you see one of the ~5 or so in the country to date
Dream does not equal sensible!

I’m more of a equipment guy than a car guy if I’m being honest, so here’s my list
- 6 in floor motorcycle lifts
- 3 car lifts
- wash bay
- lots of tool box’s, work bench space and cabinets
- heat and AC
As far as the cars… maybe a couple old ford trucks in drivable condition but not too nice that you have to be careful all the time.
Oh and lots of room for motorcycles, many many motorcycles ….

Absolutely STUNNING! It is often very easy for me (addicted to all brands American muscle machines) to overlook many automobile works of art IMHO (many of which are blinding FAST with luxury too) from across the pond. What year is this beauty? All I can think of is WoW!I'm a bit weird. The first thing that popped in my head was a fully restored, *mint* version of my current 2003 Honda Civic EX. I've driven the thing since I bought it new. It's like an old friend and I'd love to see her fully restored to her brand-new glory.

That’s not weird at all, every once in a while I will see a mint condition older Civic or Accord and drool over it. That’s why I have the 91 CRX on my list.
In my garage. My 68 Firebird 350. If my garage was bigger, I’d upgrade to a 400. No room for new engine/engine stand, cherry picker, and car. Planning to do a drum to disc brake conversion next. Then a 3.08 ring a pinion change from the current 2.56. My winter project.
Sorry. Didn’t mean to attach photo incorrectly.

We've had threads like this in recent memory.
This time, I've gone all practical, setting a price limit of new Accord/Camry money, since what good is a car you're afraid to use?
So, a gorgeous four seat coupe, a low-cal Porsche and a practical four door 4X4 pickup, none of which you'd see every day.
What more could anyone want?

I have only been lucky enough one time to ever see a GSX (Apollo White) out driving around. It was one early weekend morning on the interstate when there was not hardly any traffic around. Owners must keep them locked up tight since they are worth a King's ransom.

Yes. That is exactly what the car that passed my up on the highway looked like. I just can't imagine it was real and not a clone because the true GSXs are worth so much money. In any event , it was immaculate and looked just like this car.
