Describe your FLEET !!!
So well the title is self explanatory....
1 exotic car: GTR/Z06/ZR1/Lambo/Ferrari....I would prefer the car to be new except for the Lambo or Ferrari
1 family car: MB E550/BMW 550i/Infinity M56
1 minivan/SUV: Could care less....Honda Odyssey/Dodge Grand Caravan
My baby 05 TL....
I was thinking 5 cars but seems like 4 cars are more realistic....
what does ur fleet look like....

^^^ yes sir....lets compare:
$100K exotic for me -- 400K for him
$60K for family car -- 75K for him
$40K for minivan -- 95K for him
TL i own so well -- 100K for the skylark...
so total ownership is 200K for me as compared to 670K for him
link for skylark - http://www.carpictures.com/Buick/Sky...09L2F415017780
as i said if that is his realistic fleet then am his best friend

sorry to say but the driver on the GTR sucked LOL....2012 GTR gets to 60 in 2.9 seconds....2011 was at 3.1 if my memory serves me right....
none the less that Escalade is a monster....0-60 in 3.4seconds for a heavy ass SUV is impressive....and why are you not disclosing the exotic....PM ?

Keeping it real:
09 MDX (family truckster for trips)
12 Accord (new daily driver, used by wife 90% of time)
97 Prelude (future project car but currently sitting dead in the driveway)
The 'if I start making a bit more bank' fleet:
09 MDX (paid off)
12 Accord (paid off plus an adapted turbo kit for it's K24Z3)
97 Prelude (K24A2/6MT swap plus tuned turbo kit, reconditioned interior, leather, plus 1 w/ OZ Superleggera IIIswrapped in ADVANS, and some TEIN suspension treatment..)
E92 M3 convertible

Should have the fleet completed within the next couple of years:
Exotic - Z06 or Lotus Elise (Narrowed to two for now. Elise is prob also considered semi-exotic, but I'm still listing it)
Family - E350 (have)
SUV - FJ Cruiser (have, and should be done modding by next year if I don't trade in)
Motorcycle - Ducati 848 (have)
So really all I need to do is figure out what "exotic/pleasure" vehicle we want after we complete garage construction. I also need to decide if I want to keep the FJ or trade it in for a Cayenne. I keep going back and forth on that. Right now I'm on the keep the FJ side... but it changes weekly
If I wanted to push things a bit and spend more money I'd make my exotic either a Bently Continental GT or Audi R8...

Exotic: Porsche 911
Family: Accord (have, would love to swap in a built J6MT combo)
Minivan/SUV: Mazda5
Wild Card: Something to swap the K24 into if I do the swap on the Accord: Maybe a Civic hatch, or a light roadster: Either an Miata or S2K

Wildcard: K-swapped EBP 99-00 Civic Si, actual EK9/DC2, or an S2K.
this would be the dream fleet, and I'd have to say that the exotic and the daily would be fighting for the DD position, can't let the Horsey sit, it needs to prance!

Family Sedan: 05 Acura TSX (owned) // Maserati Quattroporte or Porsche Panamera
Family: 06 Ridgeline (owned) // Gulfstream G6 or a HondaJet
.....of course, this doesn't take into account the cars my kids may or may not have.

This would fit in with my dream fleet as I would like an F-14. Maybe we can get together and I can "rent" a parking space on your Nimitz / Ford Class...

Exotic: F355 coupe or vert - always loved that thing
Family Car: S4 or Subie STi
Large hauler: 4 Runner or Tacoma

Well when I do have a fleet of my own, it will be:
Exotic car: Used Acura NSX
Family car: Acura TSX Sportwagon (if they still make them)
Minivan/SUV: Honda Odyssey when kids are young, then Acura MDX
Extra: '85 Toyota Truck similar to the one from "Back to the Future"
Now this list is 7-8 years into the future.

Space/Short low earth orbit trips: Discovery Shuttle cause I like the name. RV hook ups in the ISS right?
High Altitude: SR-71 in case I need to see what the Soviets are up to.
Family duty: MV-22 would serve well if we're camping in Iraq
Weekend fun: F-35 you try and valet it, I'll spit on you

Lets see. Realistically?
Nsx would be nice, but I don't even know if I would fit/ 993/ e46 m3. I honestly don't have a big fascination with this class of car right now.
740i
vw thing without vw parts
56 ford f-100
Is that what you wanted?
