    You've put a lot of thought into that. :)

    My friend Mike is the Firebird encyclopedia. You and he could talk all night. I'd just listen and sip on beer. :)

    Once, while sitting on the back porch relaxing, I asked my father what he was thinking and he responded, "not a thought in my head." I don't know what that's like. Consequently, I am constantly building cars, coming up with story ideas, doing renovations in my house, wondering what might happen "if," people watching, considering the implications of different political events, world events, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseam.

    Currently, running around in my otherwise empty little skull, I have several car builds. My "442" project, the things I want to do to my E34 540i/6, how I want to finish my Jeep Grand Wagoneer (including a totally revised dash), that Firebird, a Buick Riviera based on the Third Generation F-Body, and a Cadillac Sports Car based on the '66-'67 Chevy Nova, with a stretched front end, and a Second Generation Corvair roof.

    And we haven't even gotten to the garage stuff floating around in there.

    Maybe I should have done drugs as a kid...

    Daily driver: Either a Lotus Evora 400 with six speed manual in blue with black accents or Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS in Aqua Blue with silver graphics, just can't decide.
    Weekend toys: Porsche Carrera GT in black and Ferrari F40 in red.
    If you ask tomorrow, I'll probably name three different cars.

    An old 911 would be cool. Maybe that's why a character in my book has one--and loses it. LOL

    Thread resurrection but can't resist... will attempt to list things I can have someday vs those which will likely be forever out of reach... and because I actually struggle with this today since I have a 3 car garage :)

    1. F430 Spider Manual (traded for my current 360 spider manual when $100k doesn't mean anything to me anymore...)
    2. 812 GTS or Rolls Royce Dawn (currently a Bentley)
    3. has to be rotating for fun / stupid everyman cars to drive in the winter (yeah not a great time to drive most of them). Dodge Challenger Hellcat, Jeep 392, Ram TRX, Mustang GT350, Camaro ZL1, Corvette C8, etc...

    Mine continues to evolve. Right now I have a 2018 SWB SuperCab Raptor and a 2000 360 Modena manual (Recently sold my '80 308 GTSi). I think I want a 456M manual to complete the trifecta, but the right 612 might fill that spot too.

    The three popping into my mind at the moment are:

    Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic
    F40
    360CS

    *Subject to change moments from now. Also, I'm relying on the precedent set in this thread that other more useful vehicles might reside outside the garage. For me, that might be a Range Rover for cargo and passenger space. Somewhat more realistic replacement for the Bugatti would be a Wraith.

    This would be tough but if we are only talking about actual road going cars (not race cars)--

    1938 Alfa Romeo 8c 2900B Mille Miglia (because you have to have one pre-war car and it should be Italian, red, beautiful and a spider)
    1968 Ferrari 275GTB Nart spyder (because you have to have one Enzo era car and has to be V12, beautiful, and rare)
    1998 McLaren F1 (because you have to have the most amazing / incredible manual transmission car ever made)

    30-30. 60 years of automotive technology symmetric means good karma in the garage. :)

    BTW: I have about 200 "honorable mentions" including a D type Jag, Maserati A6GCS, and of course the Lambo Miura

    I already have two of them:

    1999 Lamborghini Diablo Roadster - Mid engine, manual transmission V12 open top ecstasy

    2005 Ford GT - Beautiful styling with the heart and ferocity of a street fighter

    As far as a 3rd spot, I would only consider cars I can actually afford so most likely candidates are:
    Ferrari Scuderia
    991.2 Porsche GT3
    Porsche 993 Turbo
    Ferrari F12
