OT-64 Skot.

Way less than 1 million, can fit a large family inside, can commute or get groceries, no problem driving through the bad side of town, Pantifa protests are a speed bump, and makes camping more fun. Put this in my garage, please.

That's it. I can't think of any other cars I'd want or need. Unless we're talking some goofy hypotheticals, like if I became a 18-wheeler driver and also bought a semi-truck cab for work use.

I'd have to pick up an H1 Hummer. It's always been a dream of mine since childhood. I'd probably grab a Landcruiser as well. For car, I'm not a big car guy but maybe an older Nissan Skyline of some sort. My wife would probably love the landcruiser so we would just share that.

These vehicles would be on top of the truck and car we already have.

I like the cars from when I was growing up.

I’d have a 2” lifted 02-03 2500HD Silverado with an absolute beast of an LB7 and a built Allison. Itd look completely stock outside of exhaust. Then have a switch on the inside that lets loose 1k ft lbs of American diesel power.

I feel like the LB7 and Cummins are the most nostalgic sounding diesels to me. Although I’ve always had a place in my heart for a Detroit diesel, the knock of the LB7 just sounds right.

Then I’d have a 73-75 F250 with a 460. Not lifted. A true to the core grandpa car. My grandpas were shitty, but a buddy had a good one that I looked up to. He had a clean 73 and I’ve always wanted one.

Then I’d have a 67 Mustang with a true 351. Call me crazy but a built 351 is the best sounding gas engine ever produced in my book. I don’t know why. I have a built 390 that sounds good right now, but my old 351 just sounded like America. No A/C, no fancy do dads, lowered with amazing suspension and ready for mountain roads.

I’d do all of it myself. The LB7 would be the most fun to me. That family of diesel was the perfect blend of modern electrical and mechanical. Mine right now is on its third set of injectors and closing in on 500k. When the injectors goes out it’ll be time for a full frame off restore :)

GT3 RS, a spec E46, pay someone to finish fixing up and stage rally build on current E46 since I haven't had time. Truck and trailer to pull the race cars. Wife can keep her minivan.

That's probably only like half a million dollars. So maybe a second GT3 RS and a couple new M sedans.

1. A beautifully restored 1965-67 GTO hardtop. 4 speed transmission, and engine putting out around 550-750 horsepower.

2. 1966-1970 Mopar B Body car built into a rat rod..550-750 horsepower again, the kind of car that when people see it on the freeway, they think "Oh shit stay away from that, he probably doesn't have insurance...hell he probably doesn't have a driver's license either".

3. Dodge Viper sent off to someone like Rousch to hot rod it up.

Porsche of some kind is the clear winner so far.

I thought it would be a Corvette.

I think it is cool that Cadillac ranks pretty well and the the surprise is how high Tesla is ranking.

The other surprise, and I get it, is how many people like the square body Chevys.

Quoted:
You have 1 million dollars to fill a garage of any size. (if it needs to be a 50 car garage....go for it....)

The only rules are...you are happily married and you have a kid or two. So, some choices need to take that into account. (your wife needs a car or more...and you need some kind of "room for the kid or two" ride).

There is no need to get philosiphical or virtue signal. You have given to all the causes and have saved all the money. If you would "never, no matter what...." spend "that kind of money" on "such and such thing..." Ok...this thread is not for you. This is a car guy thread.

You have $1,000,000 to fill your garage. (hell, you have two vacation homes and like to keep a spare car where you hangar your plane....whatever, the budget is 1 million bucks). It isnt for life. This is just your lifestyle. In 5 years, some of the cars will change. You dont have to keep these cars forever. This is just a "if you were a deca-millionaire and liked cars, what would be in your life today, and would add up to about a million bucks.

What is in that garage? (in your life) and briefly, why?

Go....

I'd try and get all the JDM goodness that I can't afford. R32 GTR, tricked out FD, Civic Type R. I'd have a couple of SUVs for me and the wife and I really want a Tesla so probably a model 3 performance and a model X. Other than that something exotic like a Ferrari would be cool.

I could see myself spending a lot just on the garage itself thou.

Ah shit, that's going to be difficult.

Start with a New Z06. That'd make me happy, as my "supercar"

Then a CX-90 for the wife, unless she decided she wanted something different.

New 3/4 ton Diesel Truck, for truck things.

Probably keep my current daily driver as my beater.

A 928S4, because I always wanted one of those. It'd be original and meticulously restored and maintained.

A M35, rebuilt for reliability and upgraded some to make it a tad less brutal to drive, because I always wanted one of those.

Some sort of old cruiser. I'd be partial to a 71-72 Chevelle of some sort. In cherry restored condition.

That'd take care of a good chunk of it. I'll add more later.

My 68 stepside has undergone a damn near complete overhauling this past year.. Really the only thing it needs now is a paint job.. I would then toss in a..

69 SS Chevelle
55 Bel-air
56 Nomad
67 Nova
64 Impala
59 Chevy Stepside
66 Corvette
66 Shelby Cobra
70 Camaro
A variant of a 67-69 plymouth or dodge
88-89 Mustang GT
87 Regular cab Chevy dually

That should leave me a little gas money left over.. Maybe

ETA.. My taste are bland compared to some of you guys... I didnt take into account anything new because of my current pickup.. Didnt even think of motorcycles either... Would probably need to add in a used 4runner for my soon to be driving daughter

I'd have 2dr and 4dr (gasoline) Rubicons in there for trails and rock crawling. A capable tow vehicle. A high end SXS. A fully loaded Honda Odyssey to haul the kids all over. A brand new fully loaded 2 seat convertible for the wife, whatever is really cool looking. I like the recent Miatas. A class 3 RV with lots of room inside. Oh and a 4dr hybrid Rubicon for my daily driver. That should be close to eating up a million.
