It's dream garage time again!
 

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)


daily driver: 2009 Subaru STi Spec-C (Japan)

street: 1999 Aston Martin Vantage 600 (UK)

track: 1989 BMW E39 M3 (Germany)

collector: 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO (Italy)
http://www.startlinescalemodels.co.u...ck%20Mason.jpg

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:

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.

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!

Nice choices Johnny... I like where your head's at on the collector car, but Alfa Romeo's are Itallian! :P How about a sweet old Bugatti, they're French.

'36 Bugatti Type 57:

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

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.

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.

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 ;)

I could do a Jota, but they're a little more........vulgar.

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. :)

Nice getting a car into the 2010 decade :lol:

Fixed my collector.

With the exception of Italian penned cars, I pretty much loathe cars from the 70's... so I needed to find another decade to draw from. :lol:

Woah, that Pug is cool looking! I've never seen the whole lights behind the grill like that.

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.

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.

What are you talking about? The '10 RS5 has been seen around being mule tested. The car exists. :P

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

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:

Ok, I think I have learned from Cody's mistakes...

My 10" Mule has been seen around your momma, YO! :cool:

Dream #2...I like it a lot more that my first list...

Winter Beater
1989 Lamborghini LM002...The Rambo Lambo...(Italy)

Fun Street Car
1969 Camaro Z28 (USA) Yes, with the blower!

Killer Track Car (Japan)
1999 Mine's Skyline R34...arguably not a production model vehicle but I don't know if modifications are or aren't allowed...
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...nesSkyline.jpg

Collector
1925 Rolls Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe (Great Britain) How freaking sick is that?
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ycePhantom.jpg

Pretty freaking sick.

Are you kidding me? The black one looks fucking sweet. The gold photochopped one looks like Mr. T ate all his jewelry and then threw up on it.

While I love the look of black cars, THEY SUCK TO OWN! 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.

SO, you want me to cut your legs off at the knee and sew your feet back on below them like Cotton Hill? 'Cause you're NOT fitting in that car bud! :lol: But, I guess it is a Dream Garage ...

Actually, I've driven an Elise. It's a tight fit, but not impossible. I figure with a race seat, adjustable pedal box, and maybe a 4" extension into the firewall, I'm all set. :lol:

Huh? :?:

Didn't Scott recently berate you for weak sauce smack talk?

He tried, but my weak talk is not smack sauce.
