Ideal 2-3 car garage setup

• 04 Forester XT

• AE86 Corolla with more modern, sippy engine, tuned to achieve around 200hp and still get 35mpg, maybe update the interior a little.

• Kawasaki Versys or Ducati Hypermotard (one is affordable, the other is not).

I could also do a Fiesta ST in place of the Corolla, and a newer 08 Ford E350 Van with a 4x4 conversion and a modded 6.3 Turbo diesel, two removable bench seats in the back with plenty of space to haul stuff, or remove the seats and use it as a camper/motorcycle hauler/parts vehicle.

Needless to say, the van would be excessively cool.

My garage would be pretty much what I have now.

1996 SAAB 9000CSE Turbo, plenty of power, and with the hatchback it can swallow almost anything in it, almost as good as a truck.

My Wifes DD 03 Avalon, very plain car that I hate but is very reliable.

My Yamaha FZ-1, fastest thing I have ever driven/ridden, and for only 3 grand. Best deal ever.

Then I need my track/autocross car, for this I can't decide. I flip from wanting a small Alfa convertible, to a tube frame ex-trans-am car.

My garage currently has a supercharged 2000 Miata for autox and weekends, a tire trailer, a 2007 BMW 328i for DD, and a 99 Volvo XC Wagon for dump runs, dragging the dogs around, hauling surfboards and kayaks.

My Escort for hauling purposes. A Yaris hatch for daily driving duties and a Miata for toy/track car/other dd. All my bikes could hang from the wall.

Here is my version:

2 car garage

Daily Driver: Mildly Modified 2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS (decent stereo, sway bars, struts, and tires) - Will have soon

Weekend/Track Toy: Turbo Miata with roll bar and Hardtop - Have

Motorcycle: Suzuki SV650 or Kawasaki Ninja 650 - will buy next fall

My ideal 3 car garage would be temporary until my ideal 10 car garage was ready. Seriously, even when I didn't have any garage at all I had two or more cars+motorcycle, so the 3 car lifestyle isn't really my bag. What can I say, I'm a car whore. Right now I'm working really hard to widdle the fleet down, I'm down to eight vehicles and soon to be seven. I have a two car garage.

I guess you don't haul much, huh?

Here's my current picture:

1. '97 E36 328i for daily driving (traded in a street legal spec miata for it four years ago)
2. '04 Accord - bought it new for wife/family
3. '92 Dakota V8: my first pickup ever - every guy needs a pick up truck
4. '92 Integra Honda Challenge car: in progress but lost interest :(
5. '82 Honda Nighthawk 450cc: my first bike ever

Here's what I want:

1. Ridgeline for towing, hauling, back road adventuring etc
2. Econo hatch like a Fit, Versa, Fiesta for my 110 mile freeway commute
3. M3 for weekend fun
4. V-Storm for an adventure bike

Nah, the extent of hauling for me is random junk that I see people put out for the trash, my bikes, the occasional lawn mower and work related supplies.

DD: 1980 Triumph TR-7 DHC w/ a built 1965 Buick oddfire 231 and a THM350 (I know, I'm wierd)

Autocrosser: 1995 Ford Aspire, stripped and gutted with a Probe GT turbo engine and transmission. I don't really care about competitiveness, just wanna be different.

Wifey's car / Rallycrosser- Stock All Wheel Drive 2007 Subaru WRX STi (gloss black with flat black WRC type vinyls, black rims, and black tint. She wants it "murdered out dawg".)
