We've all seen this before on Facebook but lets hear it from this crowd. What 3 cars would be in your perfect garage? Don't include things like tow vehicles or daily drivers unless you just really want to.
#1 - 1968 Ford Mustang Bullit (or restomod replica)
#2 - Gunther Werks Porsche 400R
#3 - R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec (I owned a couple GTS25T's but I want Godzilla)
Some close runner ups would be a 2015+ GT350, a Porsche 964, and a 1970 Malibu with a big block.
Only three?
Well. The duster was my first car, the miata i built with dad, and the neon im building with my daughter. So those three for me
Or, 70 duster, 68 hemi four speed triple black charger, and a 440 six pack 70 challenger clone of vanishing point
Dick Flint's 29 roadster.
B5 blue 1969 Dodge Charger.
Ferrari F40.
And cheating, in the hanger:
My grandfather's 47 J-3 Cub
P-51D Mustang.
Pitts Model 12 Macho Stinker.
All race cars, because Berk it, why not.
IMSA Mercury Cougar:
GT3 Ford GT:
Pikes Peak Ford Bronco:
Buick Grand National
Bugatti Veyron
1956 Buick Century
Assuming that I have my other vehicles available for towing, DD, etc. And assuming that I could actually afford operating costs on those.
Not including a daily or tow vehicle.
My 1993 Civic but all done up the way I want
An AE86 with ITBs and a lot of JDM hotness
The last one is a hard one. I'd love to say a popup headlight NSX, an aircooled Porsche, a hot Ford Cosworth of some sort, a 69 Charger, a Caterham 7, an R32 GTR or a Morgan Aero8 Supersport. But ultimately I think it would have to be something with a usable backseat and I think RHD would get annoying so I'd go Opel Lotus Omega.

Shouldn't you have one that's not a Ford so you have one you can drive?

Right now I'm feeling these
I pretty much have it for modern stuff.
- V8 R8 Spyder for daily use.
- V10 Dodge Viper ACR setup for Track
- V12 LP640 Manual, maybe swap for a gated Diablo that needs work.
This is my final garage goals. Just waiting on finding a good gated merci and I am done.

A Duesenberg model J, an Agera, and an RS200. You *did* say this was a perfect garage, right?

Nope. The thrill of vehicle ownership is purely theoretical for me. Driving them? That's just gravy on the cake.

Except in Patrick's Wartburg green, LS, and maybe a set of boosties.
1999 Lamborghini GT. For some reason my hotlink isn't pasting, but all satin black exterior, neon green accents.
And this. Modern coyote power plant, maybe a mild lift to fit 33s and that's it.
E63 AMG Wagon: The best car ever.
Escort RS Cosworth: My childhood hero.
2012/13 Boss 302: Yeah there are better newer and more iconic special Mustangs, but this one’s my favorite
1) Lancia Delta Evo Integrale II
2) Mercedes Benz 190e Evo II
3) Kamaz Dakar Truck

Volvo 850R wagon, Porsche Cayman PDK, and some form of very pretty, early Formula Ford.
Datsun 1967 2000 Roadster
1970 Datsun 240Z 432R version.
Any Datsun 510 Troy Ermish can build me after I drop off a box of cash.

For a real world garage for the two of us, I'm pretty much there.
Daily driver, road trip, do it all car: Mercedes E400 wagon. Would be an E63 if money were no object.
Fun analog top down car: Original NSX-T
Beast of burden: Suburban
I have them all right now, plus a few others, but those are the ones we are keeping, other than the race cars.
Not pictured here, the Suburban

1. Toss up between RX-7 or Cosmo
2. Ford GT
3. Jaguar XKSS
Buick Somerset GT1 (V8)
Buick Somerset GT1 (Turbo V6)
Buick Somerset GT1 (NA V6)
Only three? I don't know... While there are a lot of cool exotic cars and muscle cars I want, I also really want the cars I currently have.
