1) Bitchin' CTS-V Wagon. You know, for Groceries and stuff.

2) Porsche 914-6 or Lotus Elan 26r. Probably the Lotus, cuz I'm rich and can keep a good mechanic on retainer.

3) Toterhome and toy hauler.

4) 32 Highboy. I've wanted one since I was in the womb.

5) B-spec Mazda2 or Ford Fiesta. Seems silly, but with all the fancy resources I now have at my disposal, I can be a real race car driver.

That's a great car, but it's a '29 A on Deuce rails, with a chopped Deuce grill and a DuVall windshield.

'32 Highboy:

Some of you guys have some very cool and interesting list. My five would be as follows:

1) Ford Raptor for towing and off-roading -

2) 2013 Mustang Boss 302 for Track Days and practice -

3) CTS-V Wagon for a Daily Driver and Hauling the non existent family around.

4) TVR Sagaris for a uber rare car to have and possibly put an LSx engine in for the time being. Keep the factory I6 wrapped up in plastic wrap if I ever want to sell.

5) Old Winnie for traveling to all the awesome sports car races in this country and other great racing events that I've never attended. Would completely strip interior and upgrade with modern appliances and new but retro upholstery and trim.

A green Acura NSX, ideally one of the 6 speed/pop up headlight ones:

Ruf Yellowbird

Hakosuka Skyline, a little breathed on and preferably in dark grey/black:

E28 M5, 'cos one needs a daily driver:

And something like a 60s pickup truck with a car transporter bed, given my ability to buy cars that need a little work...

Well, there's a Boss 302 at the local Ford dealership, so that would probably be the first purchase.

An R35 GT-R has been my thought as to an ideal DD.

I'd find a clean AE86 GT-S.

I'd pick up another RA29 with the intention of a V6 swap. Probably a Vortec 4.3L so there's actually still some room in the engine bay.

If the BRZ/FR-S was out, I'd have to at least test drive one.

And I'm sure before I found the old 'yotas, I'd pick up something for the wife, though I'm not sure what. Probably one of the AMG R-classes, though eventually she'd want a diesel-swapped '50s Caddy.

You stole my two! Seriously! Those are the exact ones, and only ones... I've even got the place holders for 'em right now (my '70 Mach 1 and '89 Merkur XR4RS).
