If I had a five car garage.......

I would have three cars in spots 1-3 and then a few motorcycles occupying spots 4&5.

So.......

Cars
Lotus Exige
Mini Cooper S
'project' Midlana (see Midlana.com)

Bikes
Triumph Speed Triple for street duty
Triumph 675 Daytona setup for track duty
Ducati Hypermotard (street)
KTM 690 SMC (single) for supermoto use
KTM 250 SX 2-stroke for dirt use.

Yamaha RZ 250 for track days
BMW HP2 Sport for giggles

I do have a five-car garage, and then some. Unfortunately, it's everybody else's cars that are rolling in and out of here. I'm 2/5ths of the way toward my dream garage (of the moment), starting with:

1. Bionic Clown Shoe


2. My 1970 RSR clone with 3.2 liter motronic motor (with rod knock--needs a rebuild)



And now for the spittle on the keyboard set:

3: electricity, man: it's the future--and I've driven it!



4: Or, for mere mortals, without 120 large to throw at a 300 hp blowdryer:



5: I drove one of these recently. Very sexy.

 

There is a guy who lives near me that drives a Tesla. My reaction to it is always twofold:

1. Hey, that's a lotus.
2. WTF? It's not making any noise.

Call me old fashioned, but cars need to make noise.

 

So true! When electric cars become the norm, I'm sure we will have aftermarket products like faux exhausts that make some noise for the electric cars. ("Transform your car into the growling sports car of the old days!") :lol:

 

One bay would have a lift, and be a wash/detailing bay.
The next bay would be for the teardrop and a Moke
One bay for the Clubman
One bay for my 03 MC
Last bay for a 53 Chevy 1/2 ton for hauling stuff.

I like the loft idea, but instead I would build an annex for my woodworking shop.

I felt the same way until i drove it. It's a different and cool sensation to have your eyeballs pushed to the backside of your skull with no noise other than the tires scrabbling and the slight high-pitched hum (like barely squeezing a variable speed cordless drill). It was like riding on a magic carpet that cornered. Just afterwards, I drove a highly-tuned 335i that we were finishing at the shop. It wasn't much slower than the Tesla, but for the first time in my life, hearing the exhaust was a little disappointing: like it was the sound of yesterday. I'm not saying that there's no longer a place for good ol' internal combustion noise, but future e-vehicles won't be boring--I promise.

 

Don't get me wrong. I want the Tesla Model S as a daily driver.

 

OK, I'll need a 6th bay, to hold the new E-vehicle.

You can all have your electric cars. When they go mainstream, that means more gasoline for the enthusiasts.

 

1. My JCW
2. 427 Cobra (a real aluminum one)
3. 69 Z28 (302 Solid Lifter Motor)
4. 32 Ford 3 Window (ZZ Top Mobile)
5. 67 Corvette 427/425 Fastback

OK, OK, I'm an old gearhead:blush2:

 

Eric I want the Coupe. Love it

 

It's more car than I am man. Then again, so is the Corbin Sparrow.

 

Just realized I am betting .600 on this list. Got a feeling the last .400 gonna be a biatch..:incazzato:

 

1) Mr R56 because it will always be part of the family
2) BMW 330d Touring for the trips with the wife
3) 93 Celica Carlos Sainz edition
4) BMW 123d for daily duties
5) 99 Supra TT (completely stock) for fun
