Default 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)

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!

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.

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.




daily driver
2006 Bentley Continental GT (england)

I just like them, I know it's a rapper video car.



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!)




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.

Collector car: '35 Duesenburg SJ (America, fuck yeah) - aka the Mormon Meteor land-speed car. Just look at it. Also proves that American manufacturing peaked in the early 20th century

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! How about a sweet old Bugatti, they're French.

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

Winter: 80's-era (you figure out an exact year on a russian military vehicle) UAZ "jeep" outfitted for tundra duty:



Daily: 1962 Citroen DS wagon (France)



Fun: 2006 Ascari A10 (Netherlands)



Track: 1995 Holden Commodore V8 touring car (Australia)



Collector: 1972 Lamborghini Miura 400 SV (Italy)



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

One of the images wasn't showing up for me earlier and I was too lazy to count text headings.

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.
