H & B'd V.2.0

[Goodspeed]

So with each new post to the fabled H&B'd thread above this, I'm always left wondering, would that person actually buy that car, if they could? I've always been interested in car collections and the people that make them, wondering why they chose to buy the cars they did and for what purpose.

So, here's the scenario. You just won the jackpot, or robbed a bank, orsome senile rich lady gave you a billion dollars.

Ten is a boring number, any less and you're only medium-ballin'. You have a 12 car garage to fill, so what would you get, and why?

I'll start:

1. Ford GT - I always feel like a little kid at space camp when I see one of these. Must buy.



2. MKIV Toyota Supra - my all time favorite attainable dream car. Naturally, then.



3. Ferrari F50 - my all time favorite unattainable dream car. I'd have to fix that right quick.



4. Ariel Atom - track car.



5. Porsche Carrera GT - Love the tech, love the design (best looking supercar of recent times). Give it some straight pipes for the sound.



6. Maserati Granturismo S - daily beater/sounds so good I can't stand up for a while.



7. Acura NSX - "The thinking man's supercar". Love it.



8. Shelby Cobra (Replica) - Big block, six speed, lightweight, gone.



9. Marcos TSO GTC - 'Vette powered, bespoke British coolness.



10. Ferrari 250GT SWB California - Probably the most beautiful thing ever crafted by the hands of man.



11. Porsche 993 - Set to 'Kill.'



12. Chevrolet C6 Z06 - Good ol' Red, White, and Blue. Yes, I'd take one of these over a GT-R any day of the week.

Thats like saying you like food because you watched the Food Network.

Nope, they just happen to test a lot of awesome, tasteful cars in a wonderful manner which is why they're an international hit :wink:

With the savings, I also assume I have some sort of toterhome, a bike or two, and a summer house in Nurburg. But you just asked specifically about the 12 car garage, right? :wink:

[Jake]

1) Keep the current Miata, maybe make 'er into a Spec car.

2) 2002 Laser Blue (special internet-order-only color) NB Miata


3) Eleanor. Definitely.

4) 1969 Camaro. Probably in yellow or bright red:


5) E39 BMW M5 - Could be my DD


6) 2008ish Dodge Viper, in annoying look-at-me green


7) +1 to the Nissan/Datsun 240Z


8) Late '80s Jeep Grand Wagoneer, restored of course.


9) Porsche 993


Stopping here for now. Maybe add another mint-condition Miata to the list. Taurus SHO? I'd rock a more modern-day TurboVan (think 90s-era). I'd also want a late 80s Chrysler/Dodge, just to have the digital dash that talked at me.

1. F40. arguably the poster-above-your-bed car when i was growing up. to me it is the only modern fuel injected car Ferrari got 100% right and it is exactly what i dream of as an Italian thoroughbred unleashed on the street. i would thash it mightily.


2. '69 General Lee. it is truly the redneck, pabst-swilling, blue collar badassmobile of America and i respect that. this was the only car i cared about from age 3-7.


3. E-type series I. i'd just sit it in the garage and stare at it. a masterpeice, and the unbelievable complexity just adds to the charm as a display of engineering wonder.


4. Carrera GT. i think as an all around supercar its pretty amazing and i can't get over how incredible it sounds. when i saw the top gear review it haunted me for months.


5. my favorite workhorse machine, the Typhoon. i think they look great and the completely innapropriate speed they have is just awesome. i always thought white looked cooler than the usual black.


6. the UR Quattro. this is a strange attainable super-classic for me. they are so unique and can be so fast, and the engine note sets my pants on fire. it looks butch with those 80's box fender flares too!


7. OG GT40, gulf livery. incredible in every way. i want to drive one down the pacific coast and hit every track on the way.


8. 240Z. i wouldn't mind one with some work done to it. i think it's probably the greatest car to come from Japan in terms of the breed. sounds awesome, looks awesome, light and fun.


9. The Hammer. like a thug in a tux. this would be my everyday ride and i hugely admire all mercedes from this era but this model takes the cake.


10. 02 M-coupe. the last great BMW tourer IMO. i've wanted one since the second i saw one when they came out. the fender flares are so mean and i love that they left the chassis pretty raw and oversteery.


11. Cobra replica. yeah, pretty tame but i think they're super cool and pretty much my favorite roadster. perfect for fall days on the parkway.


12. Zonda. so wild and fast and the details are pretty amazing. probably my favorite modern supercar.



honorable mention/hide behind the servant quarters under a tarp:

GNX
Fiat Abarth 600
Lotus Elise
Lamborghini Diablo SV

[Steve85]

Just cuz I'd have to have it. Don't like the body kit but if it works at 255mph who am I to argue





I would do one of the new kits they have with all modern suspension and drivetrain and drive it everyday I could



Not my exact vision, but if I need something that fits 4 kids and two dogs it won't be a Caravan. Full modern interior with power sliding doors and Porsche power


Big block, side pipes, convertible, weekender.



And for jizzing in the pants. Truth is I'd probably have 4-5 of these from the 50's 60's era.



I'm sure there are others but I doubt there would be many exotics in the collection. I would probably rotate a couple in and out with either an F40 / F50 staying.

Oh yeah, need a Bonneville car

[Mike]

Yes, no trucks. F trucks.
Yes, I do have two four-doors.

In no particular order:

RUF Turbo R

Aston Martin DBS


Lotus Exige S


Audi R8


Lamborghini Countach (500S or 25th Anniv)

Damn, that's 12, but the 1st 12 that came to mind so I think it's a fair list.

Honorable mentions: Lambo LM002, Unimog Black, MKIV Supra TT, E39 M5, E30 M3, NSX, Skyline R33, BMW 3.0CS, E24 M6.
