    What 5 vehicles would you have in your dream garage?

    1. A custom built Factory Five MK4 Roadster. Built by me. This is a project I would love to take on.
    2. Range Rover Sport. Family hauler. I have always loved the Range Rovers.
    3. Mildly built Jeep TJ, JK or a Hummer H1. This would be for some fun with the wife and kids.
    4. Lamborghini. That Aventador looks sexy as well as the Gallardo.
    5. Peterbilt 379. In Black, Blue or Sunset Orange Pearl. C-15 Cat, twin chrome stacks, wood and chrome dash, custom leather seats (air ride on both sides), big sound and nav. This would be the boat hauler/toy hauler. :) I wouldn't mind having that truck custom built into a 4 door with all air ride seats and a custom built box or storage area on the back for hauling gear and or supplies. It would have to have a built in water tank and small pressure washer to rinse off the rear of the truck when launching the boat in salt water.
    What would you buy?

    That would be a nice garage.

    Welcome to GearHead Central Neovald!

    Have you seen the episode of Top Gear where they had a DB5 I believe that was upgraded by a company to improve the performance?

    I have seen that episode but I don't think it was upgraded probably just restored who would ruin a classic like that by upgrading it.

    I agree sometimes its best to leave a classic alone and not upgrade as you only ruin the car.

    It was upgraded. They improved the handling and power of the car from what I remember. I need to find that episode. There was a Jag as well that was done by another company.

    WOW! I could not chosen better! I looks like we have the same taste in autos. The ones you chose are exactly what I would have chosen and I would have to add one other; an American car, the "Corvette"

    I would love to have a Porsche Carrera GT or any Lamborghini model as well. I would build a fancy garage that looks like a fancy room in the house for my luxury cars given the chance.

    First and foremost, I would want to have a HUGE garage, I mean something that looks like a house in and unto itself. Then I would fill it with all manner of nice cars, since war are talking dream garage here.
    I would have to live in some ritzy, ritzy, fancy, heavily-gated community in order for me to have what I want. I'm a woman, and in my mind telling me to name all the nice cars I want is like telling me to go first into Harry Winston, and then into Tiffany, and pick out any jewelry that I want. We could be here all day.

    I'd like to have:

    3 new BMW's all 3 series, possibly one 5 series. I want a blue one, a dark green one, and a dark pink one. Yes, pink:snaphappy: .
    A nice, candy apple red Corvette, year?? I don't know. Have to see what I like the best when I get to the lot.
    A Jaguar, for my mother to drive when she comes over. Not really my thing though, although I wouldn't mind driving it from time to time. I'd let her pick the color she wants.
    A darkish candy apple red 1975 Buick Electra 225.
    A bronze 2013 Mercedes Benz GLK350.
    A gray 2012 Range Rover
    A dark mint colored 1971 Pontiac LeMans
    A dark blue 2013 Hyundai Genesis

    I suppose that will have to do it for the cars for now.

    I have to add that I would need some very nice couches in the garage, a nice TV, a nice bar, a washing machine and dryer, and all types of exercise equipment. I also need a few nice pieces of art, a nice aquarium with some pretty, exotic looking fish. A huge gumball machine. A popcorn machine. A mini-library, and a gorgeous bathroom.

    I plan to spend a lot of time in this garage.

    I too would like a number of cars but not so many especially with fuel prices world wide being as high as they are. For me it is only a dream and a fantasy but oh, what fun to dream huh?

    Definitely fun to dream, and hey, I figure if I can afford all of this, then gas/fuel prices would not worry me at all.
    The thing about me is though, that I'm a Daddy's Girl:inlove:, and I am spoiled just enough to believe that I can actually have all of this one day, if I really want it.:)
