My dream garage would probably only have a GT-E.
The other two would be older Falcons...or a Datsun.

I think you need to read the subject of the initial post again.
It doesn't say anything about dreaming about cars you will never own. It says if you were given $500K to spend on 3 cars what would they be, using this criteria.

THE RULES
1. You have a maximum of $500,000 to spend on a dream garage. You can spend less but not more.
2. Your maximum three cars must be current production models and road registrable in Australia.
3. Each car must fulfill one of the following criteria:
- Can be used as a daily driver
- Can carry four adults & luggage
- Can be used as a weekend track car
I doubt you would ever use that car you posted in any catagory.

Let people dream.

Daily driver - C63 AMG or RS4 (drove one today actually...hehe)
Family car - Territory Turbo Ghia (got one)
Track car - 600-700hp R32 GTR

Plenty of cash left to pay for all the fuel and entry fees...lol

Whats not **** factor about a baby blue car with flames that just looks good compared to a car that can actually drive as well (like many that people have said in the thread so far)?

It's a 'dream garage' thread not a 'cars you'e planning to own sometime'.

For me honestly;

Landau, original with some mods
My XT project done 100%
some form of big 50's metal all original.

Only other car i'd really like is a new Ford GT or an old 40's car to sled.
