A 997.2 GT3, but lately I've been thinking about a 987.2 Boxster Spyder in red or blue.

That reminds me, I need to get a PB tic.

Maybe more of a dream garage.

In no particular order,

'65 Corvette Grand Sport

'70 Camaro split bumper

'83 Camaro RS, (with the 5 speed and 350/350 4 bolt main I installed), to relive misspent youth.

Shoebox Ford, chopped but not too extreme, just because...

427 cobra

64-66 Shelby mustang 350

GT40

Lotus7

Alfa Romeo GTA

BMW 2002tii

Ferrari 328 gts

Ferrari Daytona Spyder, no mirror, “What’s behind me is not important.” 😀
Dino

Porsche 928

993

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe

Out of all those, the 83 Camaro and the 928 might be doable.

My wife had one of those when we got married. We gave it to a friend when we moved to Germany in '98. He hadn't picked it up yet when we left and for all I know it's still sitting in front of my old house with the key in the ignition.

I'd have a Yugo or a Zastava or Fiat 127. Honest transportation.
