What's in YOUR Garage?

2009 Pontiac G8 GT
6.0L V8 380 rwhp

Dream Car: 2011 CTS-V Sedan
 
I just sold my wife's LEASED Honda Odyssey to CarMax ("The Way Car Selling Should Be") and made $5,500 on the deal. That's free money which I used towards a Certified '08 Stealth Gray Escalade from Sewell. Garage looks instantly better. Happy wife = happy life.

Waiting for my Audi S5 day to arrive.
 
1986.5 Porsche 928s with 79k original miles
2006 Pontiac GTO 460hp @ rear whls
2006 Mini cooper s
2001 Yamaha Vstar 1100 Twin Custom
1976 Pontiac Trans Am
1998 Camaro Z28 - 560 hp
2005 Pontiac Montana

Dream car = Ferrari Scudera, Scaglietti or a California.
 
Used to have a:

94 Dodge Viper
06 Dodge Viper
05 BMW 545 V8

then realized that I had grown up, have 2 kids, they didn't fit at once in the cars (notice I'm not even counting my wife and dogs yet), and the expense didn't make any sense. So all of them gone and I now have:

10 f350 Cabelas
04 Subaru Outback
68 Chevy truck

I had to get the f350 as I traded all the toys, but it was well worth it. The Subaru is my everyday driver and I carry all the sporting gear. It has no power, but I love it. The Chevy truck was sooooooo cheap and someone put a new motor and tranny that it is worth keeping.

The best thing: I have no car payment.

My wife has a Sienna and a 98 CRV with 160K she bought brand new.

A few years back when I had all the toys (so no f350 back then) we had a lot of snow and the CRV did great in the snow and ice.

Dream car: audi r8
