The Perfect 10 Car Garage

1. 1967 Pontiac GTO
2. 1967 Corvette
3. 1967 Shelby GT500
4. 2011 Corvette
5. 2008 Ford GT
6. 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 (own it)
7. Any motorcycle with a sidecar
8. 1988 Corvette (just because it was the first car I drove)
9. 2006 Pontiac GTO
10. 1983 Corvette (yes, 1983)
 
1. Mercedes CLS AMG, the previous model year.
2. Rolls Royce Phantom, muscular, powerful, fast.
3. Mini Cooper S
4. Delorean
5. Nissan Skyline GT-R
6. Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (like mid 60's or mid 70's)
7. Studebaker Golden Hawk
8. BMW M5, any model from the late 90's on.
9. Ferrari California or San Diego or whatever that latest one is. Very beautiful vehicle.
10. Tucker Torpedo. Timeless.

...in the meantime, I'll do just fine with my 35+ MPG Plymouth :p
 
Today...

1) VW Beetle - 1953 - (mgartner0622 makes very valid points and his argument is compelling, but the '53 is more iconic, simple and better looking).
2) Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
3) Ferrari 330 GTO (4 litre 250 GTO)
4) Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 DoKa - 1978
5) Ford RS 200
6) Renault Sport Spyder (Wind Deflector Version)
7) Audi S8 (D3)
8) BMW M5 (E60)
9) Ferrari California - Current Model
10) And if I was really that rich, I'd do a Glickenhaus and have Audi build me a one off Rosemeyer. With a W12 twincharged engine (Technically should be a W16, but the W12 is lighter and more compact), Quattro and a S tronic (7-speed) gearbox. :D

..But it'd probably be different tomorrow. ;)

Freakin' this. I will never ever ever own another automatic in my lifetime.

I currently drive a 72 Triumph Spitfire (Manual), earlier in the week I went to test drive a 2012 Ford Mustang V6 M6... I found the gears to damn close, and the clutch super soft. I actually stalled it a few times and missed the gears a zillion times. The sales men was younger then me, was a bit of an ass...

There is something about a manual that just ticks with me. Wether it is pulling a 1.7 60' time(on street tires) and abusing the hell out the syncro's to get it into 2nd, or winding a 13 liter Detroit out to 1700 RPM's up a steep grade and floating it into 2nd without the clutch, or hearing the spring creak on a '65 Ford pickup with a three-on-the-tree whenever you press the clutch pedal, it just feels right. It is a feeling that no auto or flappy-paddle transmission can replace. You feel connected with the car, you build a relationship with the car, you know the car, it seems to know you. Even if it means driving "old" cars for the rest of my life, I'll always drive a manual and take a certain amount of pride in it.

She may not like it at first, but my daughter will know how to work a clutch pedal.
