Barn list

Here's the deal. Imagine you had a barn friendly to car storage, or say access to one (so no one replies "sell it"), and you could ask to put any number of reasonably affordable cars in there. What would they be?

I don't mean exotics, just cars that you found cool (and maybe no one else did), and you'd just like to own one - if for no other reason than to say you did. Feel free to add later if you think of more or someone reminds you of one.

What I can think of right now:

C4 of some kind, doesn't matter which but manual

LS400

mid-90s Suburban in black

w140 S600

90 Mustang LX 5.0

97 Camaro Z28

NSX (any, cheapest I can get)

Jeep TJ

FD RX7

E38 740i (or if I can get one from Europe cheap, 750i)

E34 M5

gen2 DSM

MK4 Supra

Hyundai Genesis 2.0T Suzuki Swift Gt Any Mr2 Turbo celicas, Supras Fiat 500 (new one) All V8's

Climate controlled vermin free barn, or a normal barn?

The Mighty Dak. I'm feeling guilty every time I look at the thing... it needs a new home.

2 Fiat 124s

2 Fiat 850s

1 Volvo 122

1 Alfa GTV (early 70s)

1 Corvair greenbriar van

1 Lancia beta coupe

1 64 VW bug

1 Morris minor

So basically given space and no "spousal" limitations I'll bring home cars like stray dogs.

A pristine 1991 Jeep Grand Cherokee (the last full size Jeep)

SVO Turbo Mustang

I'm like JThw8, given a space I'll fill it. The thing is, there's all kinds of stuff out there I'm sure I haven't seen which would grab my attention and then wind up in the barn, so I won't limit myself.

1. pole
2. strippers
3. hot dog cart
4. keggerator
5. ATM -- either kind is OK, but a cash dispenser would probably be best

I'd be happy with one super valuable car that I could sell to buy said land with barn on it.

I really want to own some open space.

^ My point exactly. When actually faced with the scenario I found myself bringing home all kinds of "strays" which had never been on my "to own" list. It's quite fun when you can get away with it.

I'm with Angry... Sounds way more fun than a bunch of old cars...
