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)
http://www.nihoncar.com/news_pics/787/news.jpg

street: 1999 Aston Martin Vantage 600 (UK)
http://www.carforums.net/reviews/mak...onmartin11.jpg

track: 1989 BMW E39 M3 (Germany)

collector: 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO (Italy)

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 2008-08-26 06:26 PM

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.

fun car for the street
1963 Chevy Nova (usa)

Sentimental pick for my Dad so we can cruise around. My dad and his brothers pooled their money to get a used one, back in the day!

fun car for the track
1999 Acura NSX (jdm yo!)
http://www.autocarparts.com/images/p.../acura_nsx.jpg



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!

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.

JonnydaJibba 2008-08-27 10:53 AM

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

Dean 2008-08-27 11:02 AM

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 2008-08-27 11:19 AM

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 2008-08-27 11:45 AM

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 ;)

Dean 2008-08-27 12:02 PM

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:
