I plan to own a lot of cars, but not all at the same time. I do however, intend to own some rides that i'd pretty much keep forever;
-Lexus LF-A (providing it delivers on its promise...if not a Bugatti EB110)
-MV Agusta F4-1000 Senna Limited edition
Thats it.
p.s. I day dream to damn much for my own good too.

Skyline R34 GT-R would be nice too, but those are virtually impossible here in the US. Makes me want to move to Japan.

Somewhat realistic:

Porsche 997S (daily driver)
AC Cobra Replica w/ 427 crate engine (to be built by my son and I)
Not realistic:
Bentley Continental GT
Aston Martin DB9

I've been a car guy all my life, but I would say my tastes and desires have matured as I have. I live in car-crazy SoCal, so we see exotic machines every day. Just this morning during my four mile commute I saw a Bentley GT, an S65, an M5, etc.
It's strange the stigmas you see with certain vehicles around here. Lamborghinis are mostly owned by "new money" guys and celebrities. You know the type; chest hair sticking out of the shirt, gold bracelets, fake & bake tan. There are two types of Ferrari owners: the guy who just bought his first one and can do nothing but talk about it, and the guy who has a stable of them but you'd never know it unless he invited you to his home.
Also, I've seen first hand how many of these cars are built, and even driven many of them. For that reason, a Saleen S7 is obviously not on my list: also, I was not overly impressed with the M5 due to the jerky SMG transmission.
My wish list of cars is short (I already own a few, so I won't include those):
- 1949 Ford Coupe (Sunday car); flathead V8, disc brakes, air suspension, wide whites
- Ferrari 430 hardtop (the best all around car I've ever driven) in Tour deFrance Blue + F1 transmission
- Superformance Cobra. I would prefer to paint & assemble this myself, using a mildly built Lexus 1UZ with ITBs and a Supra 6-speed trans- would be about 200 lbs. lighter than using a 427 sideoiler
- Lexus LS460L for client dinners. 22" wheels
That's about all I need, and certainly more than I have garage space for!

My tastes and current desires are offsetting my car desires. I really want a house in southern California in the orange county area. I think I would rather invest in a house, but if I had to dream about cars.
Toyota 2000GT
Datsun Fairlady 240Z Right Hand Drive to compliment my left hand drive
Datsun Fairlady Roadster
BMW 2002
And just for laughs and gigles
Plymouth Superbird

Realistically speaking,
m5 (family car)
Porsche 911 turbo (weekend cruiser)
Lotus Exige (track day wh ore)
What i really want is DB9, so i might just say F the m5 and 911 and save up for a DB9.

here is a more down to earth one
- Lexus LS 600hL (weekend driver)
- Lexus LF-A (track car)
- Lexus IS-F (daily driver)
- Lexus LX570 (back roads)
Still an expensive garage but reachable.
I do have a long list of cars I do wish too own well over a 100, but I need to become like Bill Gates or something lol

my future cars in my mind change every day.
my current cars in my sig, the Trooper should be replaced with a Pilot/MDX or new Highlander (6 to 9 months from now).
I can keep or trade the S2000 (not sure) but that will determine what car I will get.
If I go with a Corvette or Cayman S that would take te place of the S2000 (2 seat sports car). However if I decide to keep the S2000 I would like to get a more GT car like the M3 or IS-F or RS5.
I haven't decided what my nice car will be, I may go insane for a GT3 or Aston Vantage, not sure if I'm up to spending so much for one car.
I am going to the World Class Driving event and will get to drive a GT3 (also: F430, Gallardo, Ford GT and SLR). I will post my review in about one month. But this will be an important event to let me know yes/no if I the GT3 is worth going for or if I'd rather spend about half on a M3.

Realistic :
LS460L/600hL
Porsche 997 turbo/GT3
Mercedes SL55
I can get any of them ^^, 2 of them if I really want to, but probably not wise; definitely unwise to get all 3 . . .
Dream on :
Porsche Carrera GT
Aston Martin Vanquish S
Aston Martin DB9 (yes I want both
)
Bentley Continental GT
Ferrari F430
LS460L/600hL
Porsche 997 turbo/GT3
