Talking What's your fantasy stable?

I'd be interested to know what other folks here on the forums appreciate, value, lust after, etc. Hence the "fantasy stable" game.

Pick one vehicle per category, plus a fifth that can be any vehicle (including bikes) that you want. Feel free to add comments explaining your choices (or not). :wink:

1. Daily Driver
2. Track Toy
3. Truck/SUV
4. GT (grand touring) car (highway cruiser)
5. open category
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll get the ball rolling, with my most sensible and reasonable choices, any one of which I might actually be able to obtain on my salary!

1. 2008-2013 BMW 128i--naturally aspirated straight six, well-balanced chassis (50-50 weight distribution), RWD, with decent back seats (for small adults) that can fold down for utility's sake
2. 2005 Lotus Elise--self-explanatory, I think. Close runner-up is the Alfa Romeo 4C, but have my doubts about its reliability. Plus it's way outta my reality in financial terms.
3. 2017-18 Honda Ridgline--because I'm not really a "truck guy," but appreciate the classic lines and functionality of this vehicle along with its (presumable) reliability. Thought of saying Ford Raptor, but that's just the 12-year-old kid in me!
4. Cadillac Elmiraj--don't know much about this vehicle, but am simply smitten with its lines.
5. 2001 Audi S4 Avant--totally unreliable POWER. nom, nom, nom.

How realistic should it be? Like within the realm of possibility or something that requires lottery/gambling/drugs to attain?

1 Daily Driver is a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (latest model)
2 Track toy is also a lotus elise
3 SUV/truck is the Range Rover Sport Supercharged (latest model)
4 Roadster or GT would be the Lexus LS
5 Extra would be a Mercedes G-wagon for offroading

This is of course all fantasy lmao (for now I hope).

Take it in whatever direction you like. I just went with more "realistic" choices because truly "fantasizing" isn't as interesting to me personally. But that's just me; doesn't have to be everyone, and obviously, you are already livin' the dream with your current garage! So, feel free to go even BIGGER. :wink:

BTW, I mistakenly left "Cadillac Elmiraj," which is a concept car, on my list. That should be 2001-2003 Jaguar XJR (X308). Whoops.

I like seeing all of these Range Rovers on everybody's wishlists. Without a doubt they are some of the best looking SUVs out there.

But there is no way I can throw away so much money on their maintenance so it will have to remain a fantasy car.

Love this list, mostly because it seems like a more "upscale" (expensive) version of mine (which is full of 10+ year old cars that are now within my financial reach).... :wink:

I'd have to agree with wackjum on the Range Rovers.... I'd rather have an old (analog) Land Rover (Defender)....

C'mon guys, it's not as fun if you don't include pics!

My list will lean towards the feasible side of fantasy as well, except for one car.

Daily - Golf R


Track - Cayman GT4



Off-Road - 200-series Land Cruiser, because there's only one reason why I'd willingly buy an SUV



GT - CTS-V


Wildcard - McLaren F1 HDF

Daily driver: Vespa 200 rally, I know you said only bikes in the last category, but it rarely rains here and I will have like 4 other cars.


Track toy: Lotus Elan



Truck SUV: I would like to cop out and say xterra, but it's going to have to tow all this italian, english, and german shit when in breaks. So... Late mid 90's f-250 with a manual.


GT car: E38 from the transporter (the actual stunt car. Short wheel base, v12, and a manual).



Open Catagory: Mercedes G wagon done up like the one I saw in a rally in Mexico.

^ Well if you're putting real restrictions and caveats in place, then it wouldn't be a "fantasy" stable.

So for fun I took a more realistic approach....kinda. Each car in my fantasy stable is well over $100k each so I thought I would build a 5 car stable for a total of $100k

Daily - E46 M3





Track - S2K





Truck - F150





GT - GS350





Open (Winter Beater) - Evo IX

I like that idea... limiting yourself to $100k total. My pseudo-realistic fantasy stable was limited to roughly $100k per car, if you don't count the McLaren.

Daily - WRX



Track - S2000



SUV - JK Unlimited



GT - LS460



Wildcard - 675R

Guess I should add pics...

1. Daily Driver - Switched this to a Cayenne GTS. Need a Porsche in my life again




2. Track Toy - If I had to choose one I'd probably go CLK63 BS




3. Truck/SUV - I've posted pics of my trucks before including my wife's Jeep

4. GT - E63 AMG Wagon. While I love our E63 AMG sedan, I'd get the wagon for the ultimate touring car...




5. Open - Audi R8. Always been one of my faves since day 1...

Realistic choices since I don't even know how the cars drive with my unrealistic choices.

1. Daily Driver - X5M - because it is fast and comfortable
2. Track Toy - S2000
3. Truck/SUV - Some kind of lifted Diesel 4X4 that will tow my S2000 to the track
4. GT (grand touring) car (highway cruiser) - S65
5. open category - ATV, Dont know much about it but i know i want 1.
