Your 'reasonable' dream car garage?
My 996tt (will never sell, too much blood, sweat, and tears put in)
Late model pickup of some sort, currently 14 Silverado
1996 Impala SS black with a big turbo LSX motor and redone interior
Super sedan like a BMW M5
A newer Porsche or Ferrari with a manual transmission.

Sports cars: in addition to my '71 Camaro, '76 911, '76 Bug (914 powered), and my 996 to 7GT2 RS project, someday I'd like to build a GT 40 replica. And a convertible for my wife (the bug has a sliding rag top and is actually hers) - maybe a Jag F. + another Porsche or 2.
4x4's: a new Range Rover to complement the 5 I have (long story...) :-p
That should then last a while...

keep my 996TT to modify and play with.
lease a current turbo for a DD and replace the lease with every new generation.
F150 Raptor for bad weather and my hiking/mountaineering trips.
I'd also like to build an LSx FD RX7, or even design and build a car from my own design. A buddy has built a full tube chassis car from nothing, using parts from whatever car he sees fit and it is a pretty freaking awesome project.

Fun: 911 Turbo (996 Turbo)
Efficient: Model S, which is kinda an overkill? How about an i8? (IS250)
Vacation: Suburb (GX460)
I could see maybe doing something in my particular efficiency department, but I feel like I am pretty optimized . . . Of course, I would love to have a bunch more fun cars! KH
This is something I actually considered a couple weeks ago and was realistic about what my wife and I should be able to attain over the course of about 5 years that would hit all of our driving desires.
Me:
My 996 Turbo. A forever car to me.
Audi R8 V10 with manual. I would love an NA v10 and think with a manual this will be a classic.
986 Boxster S. Just enough power to get around but I should be able to do the whole "drive a slow car fast" thing with it.
Some beater truck or SUV.
Wife
Her current E92 M3
Macan Turbo

Fun thread. With the goal of it being "reasonable"....
1) Keep my 996tt
2) Sell my Acura TL and get a Ford Raptor or Jeep Wrangler
3) Sell wife's RX and get a Macan
4) Get a used Boxster or SL55 AMG for wife's fun car
5) An unmolested Integra Type R or 1G NSX
There's just something about that Raptor or Wrangler that makes me want it!
