Your Dream Stable - Page 2

If this were to really happen, I'd give it some more thought, but there are a bunch in here that I'm sure of. Starting from the top, I'm most certain.

1. A Bugatti 57 Atlantic. This is easily my favorite car of all time. This specimen from 1938 will do.

2. I want a VW Vanagon camper, just like my parents have in this picture. It's easy to drive and is totally self-contained. The best ones were built in the mid '80s.

3. A Porsche 959. Only 200 of these were built, just enough so Porsche could qualify to race in some group of races back in the 80s. Since then, about half of them have been wrecked. I got to see about 30-40 of them in person. I'm the guy in the blue jacket in this picture. The guy in the yellow sweater was taking delivery of his new toy at the Porsche factory in Stuttgart.

4. I've always wanted a Ferrari, and the 288 GTO is a pretty good example.

5. I'll need a pickup truck for hauling stuff. I don't really know anything about the different brands or models, but I want a full sized bed, 4wd, a tow package, and a big engine. Toyota seemed as good as any.

6. Ever since I was a kid, I've liked Land Cruisers. So I need to go back to the style of that time.

7. I want a fun convertible. Maybe a Porsche 356 is a bad choice, and I should get something more modern, but it's a pretty car, so it stays.

8. I need to start getting practical now. I'll need an every day car. Not sure about this one, but it's probably a good choice. An E class Benz.

9. I'll need a people mover. The Honda Odyssey is one of the best for road trips and such. But maybe I should get a bus like UT. Have to hire a driver though. I'll stick with a minivan.

10. Never been in one of these Smart cars, but I've leaned over many a windshield peering in. I like them. Why not?

Toyota celica or roadster. Bill, I'm easy to please.

1970's- 1999 Jaguars. I like the older models.

Just out of curiosity, did that car ever win an award for most penislike vehicle? Up until this point, I thought the weiner-mobile clinched it.

Rich, I didn't notice until you said so.
