1- Lamborghini LP640

2- Either Lingenfelter Vette, or splurge on a P&W C6RS

Now my expensive tastes are taken care of

3- CTS-v for DD duty

4- 58' Chevy restored

5- some sort of Old Jag, before they turned into gussied up Ford's

6- Tahoe Hybrid, because I like the looks of them

7- Silverado 3500 Diesel, because the 1500 gasser doesn't like hauling the new horse trailer

8- Challenger SRT8

9- C1 Vette if it won't put me over budget

10- Honda S2000CR

and the wild card- I think an Aeriel Atom would be sweet as a toy.

More thought, I could probably make a more impressive list. Being 20 years old I don't have nostalgic memories of parents cars, as I grew up with crap from the 90's, which will never, ever be at a BJ auction.

I agree, black is the way to go. Lots of people don't like it because if the work needed, but that's some of the best part of cars- at least to "car people".

While I'm not sure my dream garage would hold so many GM vehicles, I have to agree, regardless of some of the craptastic cars, they make amazing big vehicles. I defy anyone to show me an SUV that is better than a Tahoe.

There needs to be an SS Tahoe with the LS3 in it. :D

Every car looks better in black. It's a pain the ass to clean, but it looks really nice in the end...until it rains. My poor Envoy's covered in filth right now, and it really shows against the paint.
I couldn't live with myself if my garage wasn't filled with GMs. It's just a matter of personal loyalty to me. GM gave my dad a job so he could build us a house, send me to private school my entire life, provide for our family, so I feel like I should at least return the favor. And because other than Ford, I'm not a big fan of any other offerings from the other companies...especially crapyota.
The E-350 and M5 are there only because I truly believe they're very nice cars. And because I'm still high on the new car smell from my uncle's brand new 2008 Mercedes Benz E-350 4-Matic...little retirement gift for himself.
And yes, a Tahoe SS with the LS3 would be badass. Too bad the environmentalists would go ape**** on GM even more. :doh:

It ain't perfect. I have had a lot of Ford and Chevy people ride in my Armada. I have heard word-for-word comments like, "whoa this thing is WAY faster than my truck!" And "I had no idea this thing could move like that!". But I can make an argument for the Tahoe too....I have driven 2 plus a Suburban. I LOVE the dash design (a clear "borrow" job from the Acura MDX). I rather enjoy the column shift because it frees up the center area. The thing looks amazing (#1 full size SUV). An SS version would definately be a good thing......you know, to keep up with the Armadas! ;)

I know that some of these may be leaving people wondering why, however, these are all vehicles that I have really liked over the years (sorry, I'm a visual person...) :

- 1994 Jaguar XJS Coupe, probably the 4L I6 rather than the V12


- 1997 BMW 328is


- 1964 Lincoln Continental, Black on Black Hard Top


- BMW 635CSI


- 1957 Ferrari 410 Superamerica


- 2006 JCW MINI Cooper S


- 2008 JCW MINI Cooper Clubman S


- Classic Mini


- Datsun 260Z


- Volvo P1800


Of course many would be in show condition with little changes here and there. New Engines or the retrofitting of Manual Gearboxes...

and If I could have just one more vehicle, it would be a Ducati Sport1000... I just love that bike...

1. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 - This is on every list for a reason, it's automotive erotica personified, yet the perfect company on the open road at the same time.

2. Ferrari F430 Scuderia - I want a knife-edge track car and nothing comes remotely close to this car

3. Audi RS6 Avant- Yes the new one, this will be going to the Ski fields and used on long trips

4. Range Rover TDV8 Autobiography- This will be used for offroading and towing.

5. Lamborghini Espada- This car to me is the height of Automotive design and can be had at not too outrageous prices

6. Mercedes Benz S65 AMG - Need something gadget laden and fast

7. Jaguar XF SV8 - Love this car right now

8. Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDI Bluemotion - Save on gas and laugh at Hybrid drivers
