Let's say You hit the Lotto: What will your garage look like?

Well, I'd be splitting time between Wisconisn and London, but I'd here's what I'd have

Daily Driver for short distances:



Daily Driver (long distance)



Hybrid version, please

Fun Car I



British Racing Green with Yellow on the nose and Wisconsin Vanity Plate KAR 120C

Fun Car II



One Just like this one. Best. Muscle Car. Ever.

Fun Car III



For those days when I want to let the old Inner redneck out...

For those rare occasions that I'd have to haul shit



One in not too bad of condition, please.

no rake, now mower, no string trimmer, no boxes of construction materials such as screws,nails,wood it all goes and I hire everything done-

My first thought - I would throw out the two yogurt containers of dirty plastic knives in my garage that I was going to wash and reuse.

The Coupe


The Wagon


And the Sedan

I saw it at the Philadelphia Auto Show, and it would meet most of my needs in one vehicle.

Where it falls down, and where I would need to add another vehicle, is something that it doesn't have a stick. My needs are simple, so I figure a 2011 Ford Mustang would take a spot along side the CTS Sport Wagon.

I would get an electric car, type to be determined, and a Mustang.

I've dreamed of owning a Mustang for decades. So sweet!

Mind you, if the lottery win was big enough, that garage would be a hangar and I'd have a pilot on standby.

I saw one on Ebay going for $40k.

Daily driver/errands car, 2010 Ferrari California



Pride of the garage, the American made, fastest production car in the world...Shelby Supercars Ultimate Aero



Dog hauling, towing, drive in the rain, 2010 Range Rover Supercharged



The "need a sedan to drive mom to the airport and stuff" car, 2010 Mercedes S65 AMG



There, that's around $1 million worth of wheels right there. It's a good start. I'd probably also have a new Corvette ZR1 and a Cadillac CTS-V for good measure.

There's absolutely no reason you can't ferry your mother around in the Range Rover and leave a little room for a well-deserved present or three for the long-suffering girlfriend.

I need 600+ horsepowers and 4.2 or so 0-60 times to make it to a flight on time. Damn homeland security and their new measures!

And as far as I know, your mother is the one person you know who can fly anywhere without getting a friendly squeeze from the TSA.

THat car is fast.

For fun:



Because I cannot resist it:



For nostalgia's sake:



For my kid (his all-time favorite):



On edit: whoops one more silly me

You're both simply mad!

:evilgrin:

What can I say? The kid really loves it. Don't ask me why! :shrug:

On edit: New Top Gear next Sunday! W00t! :bounce:

...'cause I'm never going in the garage again.

No more driving anywhere for me.

park my 1965 Candy-Apple red Mustang ragtop in it.

Updated, of course.

I mean the diamond cutter?

I'd buy a garage. After that, the sky's the limit.

One DeLorean, preferably one without a flux capacitor. There'd be too much temptation to be like the Terminator: punch in May 15, 1895, set my destination for Columbus, Ohio, and solve the Bush problem before it ever gets a chance to start.

Volkswagen Bugs, the rear-engine variety, and one of each year they officially imported them into the United States. No Mexican Bugs or Brazilian Bugs, please.

One daily driver, probably a Ford something or Chevy something--maybe a Volvo. Just something that blends into the background.

One old deuce-and-a-half in case I need to go to the lumberyard. This must have a machinegun ring with a fake machinegun attached--why own a military vehicle without a fake machinegun on it?

An Alfa Romeo GTV6.
A Moto Guzzi Nero Corsa.
A '57 Corvette roadster.
A trailer holding a DG sailplane.

Well, first I'd have to have a late 1970's vintage Cadillac Eldo Convertible. Red with white interior. Classic American land yacht.


I really like the new F 458 Italia.


And one of the most beautiful Ferrari's ever made (IMHO) the late 90's F355 Spyder. Ferrari's dark blue is gorgeous. Tan interior.


Have to have the customized Prevost Coach. Marathon does one hell of a job on interiors.


And a toy hauler. Something along the lines of this, with a lift-gate and room for 3 cars if needed, motorcycles, ATV's, Snowmobiles, etc.


And since a hangar would be a bit better than a garage, one of these tucked in the corner;


One of these in the other corner, just for fun;

(Vans Aircraft RV-4. A little hotrod!)

Of course, I'd have to have a Vette (A late model C6 is fine) and a pickup. Got to have a pickup. GMC Sierra.

A very successful unit for sales, but vastly underappreciated by enthusiasts. I think it's a gorgeous car, and the prices today are absolute bargains.

driving their Ferrari Challenge support truck. I carried a 355 Challenge car and got to drive it regularly, albeit on and off the truck lift-gate. We did a ride-and-drive event at West Palm Beach Motorsports park (Used to be Moroso Park) and got to take a ride in a 348 driven by Raul Boesel. 3 laps around the road course sitting next to an Ex-Indy Car and F1 pilot! What a blast.

I love the looks of the F355 particularly the Spyder.

It was red, naturally. Roof down, going from Clearwater to Tampa. Saw it coming up behind me, no idea what it was. Stopped at a light the next lane over. Oddly enough, it was driven by one of the guys in one of the very popular boy bands at the time (I recognized him from the tv a day or two later). I remember looking at it and just saying, my God but that's a beautiful car.

:evilgrin:

over my current car. I got what I need. But a few family members would be getting various forms of reliable transportation, as appropriate to their needs.

Then I'd worry about putting things in it.

couple of years that fungus and occasionally something green is starting to sprout on it. Thankfully we've got someone who knows how to deal with old barns (which is what our garage is. :) ) and his schedule will open up to start working on it next month.

unless maybe I went down to Louisiana and bought myself a license. The going rate used to be two hundred bucks. :P

you mean in LA you can buy a driver's license, no test required?


That's it, packing my bindle, moving to New Orleans.

a very easy test

Right half.


Left Half.

That top pic looks exactly like part of the industrial fabrication shop I worked in for years. :o (Our woodworking section wasn't quite as nice as the bottom pic :rofl: )

Still need a paintbooth out back, and somewhere to weld, and... :rofl:

I just put up one of those metal buildings...and found out real quick.....you can never have too much room in a shop. :rofl: Once I got my tool boxes, drill press, metal break, acetylene rig and welder, parts washer, table saw, my motorcycles, a huge safe, etc...I am quickly running out of having room to actually do any work. :D

a Honda FCX Clarity (and equip the garage with the hydrogen plant necessary to power it)




and for longer trips (as I don't expect I'd be able to fill up the FCX anywhere but home in the near future):

a Toyota Highlander Hybrid

I'd have to think about the cars later....Oh and a new lawnmower, or I'd hire a lawn service.

I'd have to have one of these, '65 Electra Glide



And I'd like a really cherry 96 Lincoln mark viii with low miles. I have a '95 but it's got around 230k miles and is really showing her age




And I'd love to have a "bullnose" Kenworth, preferably a '53 model like the one dad had when I was a wee one

But I'd have a frame-off restoration done on my 1991 Jeep Wrangler, since it's the first new car I ever bought and with 195,000+ miles on it, it could use a little TLC.

Parked next to it would be one of these, a Challenger R/T Classic in B5 Blue. The only options I'd want on it are the 6-speed manual transmission and the Super Track Pack.

:P

It would be clean and it would have our '05 Corolla in it. It would also have our '08 Yaris in it, but it's only a one-car garage.

:)

(Yes. I require a lottery win to clean out my garage. Why? Because I want to give the day laborers a REALLY nice payday.)

and dining room.

One of the bedrooms would look like a library/home office.

And the new upstairs would have 3+ bedrooms and another bathroom. :P

and then sell the house and buy:

BMW M5
Brabus Rocket
Bugatti Veyron

the best one of these


that money can buy. For those times when I'd like to drive places, I'd have one of these


All of this would only work when I wasn't traveling across the globe in one of these

which I would be doing often depending on how much money I'd won.

Q3JR4.

For winter fun:

a library, a small kitchen, a sunken bath and adjacent sauna, a comfy guest room, and an attached carport for whatever junker I'm currently driving
