It's dream garage time again!

[sperry]

Here's the rules this time, I'm trying to make it difficult:

5 cars: winter beater, daily driver, fun car for the street, fun car for the track, and a collector car.
5 countries: no two cars can be from the same country of origin.
5 decades: no two cars can be from the same decade.

Cars must be production based cars, money is no object, bonus coolness for low volume or special edition cars.

I'll start:

winter beater: 1979 Jeep Wagoneer (USA)

You're missing a picture. Can 2 people share the same car?

[sperry]

You're missing a picture. Can 2 people share the same car?
Which one? They're all in my cache, so I see all 5.

2 people can pick the same car, if you're cool with being unoriginal! :P

Nice Nick. I really wanted to pick the Land Cruiser as well, but didn't want to waste my Japan pick on a truck... so I tried to pick the US equivalent from the 70's. :lol:

[tysonK]

The country rule made it hard! I know I could have done better in the daily driver, have to think about it. I had a few choices but I like the GT. I didn't want a Skyline for the track even one from the 90's.


winter beater
1988 Volvo 480 Turbo (sweden)

the year made it tough here. I guess I could have found something from italy, but meh.

collector car
1954 Porsche Spyder 550 (in red thank you) (grrmany)

kinda tough choice because I wanted a GT3 for the track....also I'd probably pick the 959 if the 2 were in front of me.

I saw one of these in Mendocino back in July. It was red and very cool. I was trying to figure out if the dents were accidental or part of the design, so I checked the other side out too.

I love watching enjoy one post up in this game!

[JonnydaJibba]

Oh shit! Ok, gotta revise. That was my hardest one to figure out. I guess at this point it still is.

[Dean]

A couple people are cheating and only coming up with 4 of the 5. I can do that, but am having a tough time with getting 5 that I really like to work. The toughest one is to find a winter beater from the 70s not from The US,UK,Ger that I actually like or would even really work as a winter beater. :(

I think everyone's done all 5... just some pictures aren't showing up for all of them.

I also had the hardest time with the winter beater. All the cars I came up with that I'd really want were already excluded due to the country. In fact, I changed my track car 3 times because I needed to free up a country for the winter beater, and still ended up having to pick a '70's American car, which frankly is the worst decade for US car design.

[Dean]

You are right, I thought Sybir and Bob only had 4 of 5 just by counting pictures earlier.

Oh, I could pick a 80s or 90s winter beater easily, but it would mess up the rest of my list. I'm working on it though.

[sybir]

Dude, I even had alternates listed, how did you get 4?

If I stick with the Landcruiser in my first set, I could do another 5 without duplicating countries ;)

Ha, got it and I even really like it and actually wanted one in my past...

Am I allowed to drive the track car on the street now and again? Pleeeeeaaaaassssseeeeee. :)

Not commenting on the R8 in general, as it's an awesome car, but that is both the ugliest "tuned" car and the worst photoshop I have *ever* seen from a professional manufacturer.

[Dean]

I call shenanigans. Even though this is your own challenge, I think picking a 2010 car that is not actually in production is cheating. :)

And your street and track cars have no images.

My 2008 R8 exists, just not in the color I wanted to post, so thus the photochopped version...

The real one is Black and I don't want a black one.

Well the 09 S5 looks almost exactly like the one Scott posted. It's not like there will be a break in production from until the actual ot ten comes out.

Yeah, but the RS5 is still unknown... it might have a Lambo V10 in it... Dean's got a point. Not that I'm changing my picks. :P

[JonnydaJibba]

Oh I didn't notice the R. That makes it infinitely more bad ass. I guess I should have realized it wasn't a regular S5 by the wheels. Maybe by the badge in the front grill. :lol:

And THEY SUCK BIG LEAGUE Mule PENIS(keeping with a theme) AT THE TRACK which is the category it was in.

Having ridden and driven in a black Noble that was stored between run groups in a garage for only 20-30 minutes every hour and a half, I know! I have no idea why the pro drivers would even work for a company that painted their race cars black.

The other alternative was an orange one...

Except the R8 isn't a Noble. Just turn the A/C on and relax in the leather seats between sessions.
