My Dream Garage, nothing too radical...










Only thing I'd change is the color of the RL and S2K. I'd prefer a black on black RL, and a White with red interior S2000. That... would be the craziest shit ever IMO. Btw that Longbeach Blue Pearl on the NSX is damn gorgeous.

None are my "dream" cars even though I own 33% of the vehicles in that picture.

I'd take 'em all, though!

Pardon my digression but those houses are TOO close together. ...and I wouldnt have an NSX, RL and S2k and NOT have a 3 car garage.

That said, the NSX is the only dream car in that picture. Then again for $90k, a C6 Z06 w/some LPE mods would be my first choice.

Nice cars to fill a garage nonetheless.

^ agree with everything you said...

I'll keep the s2000 as is, but the RL and NSX can be easily replaced by an A6 4.2 or 550i and C6 Z06.

Hell, those are dream cars for me. I'll never be able to afford any of those. MAYBE the S2000, but that's pushing it still. It comes in at about $50000 CDN. If I'm making $60k a year there's no way.

A modest collection.

Definetly wouldn't refuse it, but its not what I would call a dream collection.

Your car is supposed to be 20% of your yearly income. So if you finance it for 5 years, you make more than enough each year to comfortably pay for it.

you shouldn't say never, at first i could barely afford the CL, and i was your age. things can change in three years, esp at your age

you're still in school though, right???

Don't think about now, think about ten years from now. Just don't have kids. (might not be a problem for you though... Unless you adopt one)

It seems to me that having a S2K and NSX is a waste of money. If you have have a NSX and RL, my third choice would be a nice SUV

Agree, having the S2K and NSX doesn't make a whole lot sense to me. I'd rather have an suv as well in that setup.

At age 21, I could barely afford the $10k 89 Ford Escort LX that we had. At that time I wouldnt have been able to imagine having a $26k Quest, $27k Maxima and a $36k Murano.....but now I do. (Not that these cars are anything to brag about but they sure do beat having a Ford Escort.) And I didnt get to this point the easy way.

Just work hard, spend/save your money wisely and you'll get there in a few years. Besides, in a few years your insurance rates should be substantially cheaper (provided you keep your record clean)....especially if you were to get married.

BTW: In case you are, dont sweat the number of teenagers on this site claiming they're rolling around in brand new Acura RLs and TLs. Chances are they're referring to their parent's cars as their own.

Sorry for the

Back on topic, I spend too much time going to Home Depot, Lowes and Costco to have a 4dr sedan as my biggest car. My 02 Maxima is our smallest car (vs my 00 Quest and 05 Murano).
