I remember the first time I told her I had about 20 cars in my dream garage, she thought I was nuts, that one could not appreciate that many cars, problems would arise from sitting for too long, and they just wouldn't be as special.While I obviously don't agree with her, for kicks I decided to see how low I could get that count.  And I've been able to get it down to 4.1. The DD and More: Toyota Tacoma 4x4.  Lifted, 33" tires, ARB lockers.  Useful for the stuff I want to do around town, can go where ever I point it.2. The Nasty Yet Civilized: '10+ Nissan GT-R.  Sensible mods, 500-600 HP.3. The Track Day: Ariel Atom 500.  Nuff said.  And can actually drive it to the track.4. The Sleeper/Muscle/Cruiser: 62-67 Lincoln Continental.  Black on black.  Deep dish chrome.  And enough CIs and turbos under the hood to make 700-1000 WHP.  This is the one I'd be particularly excited about.  To make it a sleeper, it would have resonator after resonator along the length of the car, twin chamber mufflers, etc.  But in front of all that, electronic exhaust cut-outs.Will it ever happen?  Not likely.  But as we all know, it's fun to dream. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
