Well, I love off-roading, so I have my Raptor for that. Before the Raptor, I had a Badlands trim.

One of my favorite non-Mustang vehicles I owned was a 1970 240 Datsun Z. Man, I loved that car. It was also the first true sports car I ever owned, and the first car I ever learned how to work on. It met its demise when a lady with a 68 Buick ran the light and hit it broadside on the passenger side, and cracked the frame massively. was no fixing it.

Like others here, I love all cars, but I have a special affinity for Pontiacs. My first car was a 1976 Pontiac Ventura I bought from my parents, then the next Pontiac came 13 years later in the form of the 1965 GTO. Bought a 2005 GTO new and also a new 2009 G8 GT. Still have both GTOs.

The second car, and first new car I owned was a 1986 Mustang LX 5.0. Four of my buddies liked it so much that over next 2 years they all bought 5.0s! Always had a soft spot for Mustangs and just got back into one last year.

There is a pretty nice neighborhood up the road from me and I have seen a few breath taking Porsches, the GT3 road cars, the new version targa etc… I really think a McLaren is most likely in my future for retirement.
The 720’s are absolutely incredible value/performance

I learned to drive in an '82 Z28. I later had a '96 Z28 and a '99 SS. Then went back to Mustang with an '08 GT.

Wow you had a black car in AZ?!?! 🔥 :shock: lol.......

Yeah, when the Mustang got that retro styling in '06, I had my eye on it for a few years until I got that nice used 06' in '08. Only had 7K miles on it.

To keep this from being too long, I'm only going to talk about current-model cars. If I had the money and a place to park it, I would love a Lotus Emira with a manual transmission, dark green metallic paint, tan interior, and silver wheels. The Porsche 911 is cool, of course. I thought the 7th-generation Corvette was beautiful, but I have not warmed up to the 8th generation at all. While some generations (4 and 6) of the Corvette were too plain for my taste, the C8 is overstyled. Plus, no manual transmission.

I think the Subaru BRZ and the Mazda Miata are pretty cool. I think the Nissan Z is fairly appealing.
For me it was between the C8 and the dark horse. The only reason the DH won was due to the manual transmission. The DH is my 3rd mustang.

Triple black! That car was gorgeous.

I was a Camaro guy... have had many, and a couple firebirds... all gen 1, 2, or 3 (still have 1). Have had some other GM muscle cars as well. I was stuck in the past for a while and didn't care for Gen 4 Camaro, so built a couple old hot rods (still have 1). Daily driving Cadillacs for about 25 years(yep, still got 1). Did I mention, growing up my dad always told me his tools didn't fit Fords (corvette guy)? So yeah a bit of GM brain damage. I was thrilled when GM brought the Camaro back for a 5th Gen. Dealer ADMs when attempting to order one early on, and then actually sitting in one when they hit the lots, really turned me off of the Camaro... how can a car that looked so good on the outside, and on paper, be such a disappointment on the inside? I picked up an S197, and have had at least one Mustang in the garage ever since (currently 2). Petrol runs deep in my veins, as my dad and 2 uncles were all drag racers, and grandpa a mechanic. I did some drag racing up until my mid 20s... until a girl became more important than lower E.T.s.

Funny you showed the Porsche... I have been looking at those myself as well as a couple others... may be time to let the old hot rod go and embrace the future... or just build another garage... that was always my dad's solution. 🤣

I was going to get another Mustang or Cadillac but I decided to branch out of my comfort zone. Ive always liked the looks and the Caymans are reasonably affordable. So far Im really enjoying it. Its not remotely comparable to a Mustang, no where near as fast and the total oposite of a muscle car. But that little car is so fun to drive. It handles like a go cart and the driver engagement is everything you want in a sports car. I definitely have the porsche bug now. And the bonus is my wife loves it.

My lotto garage, in no particular order;
GTD For obvious reasons.
DHSC Ditto
The biggest ute I can find here, probably a RAM with bull bars all round, and laser beam driving lights, with the loudest truck horn I can buy. Just for around town. Oh, with Greenpeace and Just Stop Oil stickers.
Ferrari 812 or Dodici Cilindri. Everyone needs a Ferrari V12
Ferrari Amalfi. Everyone needs a convertible.
Porsche GT4 RS. I like these more than GT3's
Alfa 8C if I can find a good one. So beautiful Michaelangelo must have styled it.
Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio. You can't have just one Alfa
Abarth Biposto Cinquecento. Batshit crazy, twisty road demon.
There's plenty more, but these are a must.

2024 Mustang GT - 1964 Mustang - 2012 Landcruiser Prado - 2021 VW T-Cross
I love Mustangs and if I had some money I would buy a Mustang for every series.
I had a 1964 coupe that I recently sold due to lack of garage in the new house. I had also a 2001 Cobra convertible and a 1955 Ford Customline.

We currently own a 2012 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, pretty geared up for road trips and camping. And also a VW T-cross for city driving.

I love Toyota and was playing with the idea of buying a 2024 Supra, instead of the 2024 GT I ended up buying.
Preference is towards classic cars, however I appreciate some newer cars as well.

If money was not an issue, I have a decent list of old and new cars I would love to have/drive. 😁
