As I fumbled around looking for the right tools in the too small garage this afternoon, I wondered, would I be happier with the car of my dreams parked there or with the fully equipped garage of my dreams. And you?

Garage. I'd rather tinker with the wrong thing than have to leave the right thing alone.
I already have my unicorn, so I'd say garage. 
Fully equipped garage for sure. I could easily have several hundred thousand in a big building fully stocked so I could wrench on cheap projects.
Definitely the garage/shop because the projects will come and go with different interests
Garage, no question. Even if it meant I could never have my dream car.
+1 for Garage of dreams... fabrication machines (nice hydraulic tubing bender, nice metal chop saw & scroll saw, CNC mill & 3D printer, automated welder, and a vehicle dyno), nice 2-post vehicle lift, nice huge Air compressor with associated drivers and bits, and ALL the hand tools and diagnostic tools you'd ever want/need. Oh and an excellent A/C system to keep it nice and cool and not humid! Dream car instead?...LOL NO!
I halfway have a nice interior work room which was converted out one of the bedrooms with epoxied concrete floor treatment, industrial/medical rubber trim, heavy-duty metal outlets, and nice proper illumination with some track lighting installed in key areas. It has a heavy duty butcher-block workbench (with my Dillon pistol ammunition reloader and bench vise permanently attached), a nice big massive drafting table I got from a former co-worker for free, a large metal Husky garage storage cabinet for equipment and consumables, a wall mounted fire extinguisher, 220V outlet in for the Tig welder and wall mount location for an Argon bottle, and finally a custom designed and created central ceiling exhaust venting system using two very high flow bathroom ventilation fans (great for soldering, painting, and Tig welding in an A/C controlled environment 
of course...)
My dad has rebuilt his Yamaha Virago motorcycle motor in the room (which is still on engine stand in there), my brother Tig'd up the modified fuel tank for the Virgo in the room (took the stock tank and made it higher capacity), and my dad is now currently working on rebuilding the gearbox unit on old 60's heavy duty Troy Built tiller (currently completely torn down and trying to source the last few needed replacement parts for it).
Garage.
Garage.
Has anyone said garage yet? Definitely garage.
Besides, I don't have one car of my dreams. The car of my dreams changes too often for me to keep track.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Garage for me too. It's all about the thrill of the build.
Dream Garage, because I could then build my dream car. This one is kinda like "ask for money, receive advice. Ask for advice, receive money twice."
Garage as well. I keep eyeing the space around my garage now to figure out how to expand it (knock out kids bedroom to make room for lift!). Oh well, probably live with what I have for now.
Since the car of my dreams is a Mazda 787b (keep dreaming), I'm going to go ahead and follow the garage crowd.
I race cars, not garages. While I like to tinker, and a bitchin garage would definitely benefit that, I still like racing more at the end of the day.
There is no "dream car", it would be "dream cars". 
Garage. I would rather build one of my "realistic dream cars" in one then own something that is so rare and expensive that I would be constantly worried about it.
Car. I only work on my own car because I don't like paying others for something I can do for less for a known level of quality.
Garage.
I reject your premise. Both!!
this weekend, the garage got one step closer to being there. So I'd have to say car.
Garage. My dream cars are cheap compared to my dream garage. Take that from someone who just bought a new welder and plasma cutter. Now I'm in the market for a new jump shear. If I had back all the money I have spent on my cars and my garage, I could build a dream house, but it wouldn't have a garage like the the one I want.
There is a house with the dream garage space going up for sale just up the street. 3 car with a middle stall tall enough got a pusher diesel RV. Too bad the house around it is sooo big otherwise I'd have a new garage. :)
So with that, I'll say car. I can build the garage for cheaper.
Garage. Makes a lot more sense for the grassroots crowd, because your dream garage will let you build and maintain a nicer car, while your dream car itself will probably bankrupt you in short order.
Garage, because the cars are the easy part, once you have the tools.
