how many cars would you have in your garage (collection) ?
 

if you could have as many cars as you wanted.... how many would you own. i personally wouldn't like more than 20

Yeah, 20 is getting up there. I've always said I could get by on a studio apartment with an 8 car garage....

If I had an unlimited suppy of money to back up my spending habits, I would probably have around 30 cars.

When I was younger, I used to maintain a list of 20 cars that I would buy if I had the money ... and it required a lot of money as the GTO, Bug Royale and some other big ticket items were on it.

Right now, I would like to have 4 cars in my garage
- BMW M5
- Ferrari 288 GTO
- Ferrari 550 Maranello
- Ferrari Challenge Stradale

And that's it.

I think rather than having 20 cars and driving 500 miles a year on average (10,000 miles by 20 cars), I would be able to do 2000 miles on each car assuming even rotation. It would be good to be friends with others with different interesting cars and trade cars for a weekend or so ... Magwheels for instance. :wink:

For personal: 5-6
For investment: no limit.

For DD i would have prob. about 3, a sports car, a luxo sedan, and an all weather something. But for the special days or events I would have around 5-10 and i would prob. change them on a 1-3 year basis. :mrgreen: unless i really really love it

the sky is the limit.
of course I would only use one or two cars for work days, and another 2 or 3 for the weekends.
but I'd say that n-1 (n=number of great, fancy, super, rare, extreme, fun, sporty, etc cars)

If unlimited resource (i.e. w/ someone making sure everyone is in running condition), 20 it is. If it is only myself, then 5 would prolly be a good number.

hmm....maybe this 5 would do
996 GT3 3.8 conversion
575M
Brabus Rocket (CLS)
Range Rover
Nowack M5 E39

*Edit* Almost forgot
S8 5.2

I'm aiming for a 12 car garage. 11 for me. one for my wife (soon to be...hopefully...)

Some of them would be customs but others would be frame off restos or some kind of collectible.

^^^ best of luck ... is it AA???

Well, ask Jay Leno how he has managed to narrow his focus down to the best 100 or so cars... ;) :P

yup. She has already okd my plan as long as she gets her 64.5 Mustang. i can do as i please with the rest of the garage :lol:

(i should probably clarify now: Nothing is official yet. we aren't anywhere near that point yet :lol: )

hmm...
ideal garage?
Ford GT would fit in there... i love Corvette Z's... I also enjoy living in multi-seasonal riegons...
so..
FGT
575 superamerica
WRX STi
E60 M5
Porsche CGT
911 GT3

right now... i think that is the garage i'd want

i wont get anymore then 5 cars ... eas to keep track of, mintain and everything ...

...ok...I think I'm gonna need a huge museum for all of these...and I haven't even gotten to the Alfas, Citroens, Renaults...and a shitload of others...

^^ i hope you dont dream of owning each and everyone one of them :lol: you'd be in a lot of trouble... :lol:

not much, one for normal ride,let say 3D golf 2.0 TFSI or focus 3D
then somethink only for fun NSX,911 or M3 ,
one limo 760iL or Bentley Arnage T
one old british car Lotus elite, one american muscle car Mustang GT 350
and for sunny days DB9 Volante

Driving all 20 or 30 cars is rediqulos :mrgreen: few thousand km on each.

I'd do it this way - building a showroom with garage for service with all needed equipment, buy 20 cars put them on sale and in a meanwhile take one after another to drive(cause all of them are yours anyway:mrgreen:) than you return them back to showroom and the ones wich you fall in love you keep or sell and than buy one in better condition :P ummmm.... what a dream :D

I think I'd try and keep it down to 10 cars, or at least that's what I'd tell the wife :mrgreen:
