My Christmas list:
1. Ford GT (blue w/ white stripes)
2. Ferrari Scuderia (silver w/ dark gray stripes, track car)
3. Ferrari F430 convertible (black on black on black)
4. 2011 Mercedes ML350 (black with full leather and the chrome package) - I don't know why, but I want one.
5. Bentley Continental GT (wife's car)
6. Lambo LP650 Spyder (white, also wife's car)
7. 997 GT3 (white)
8. 2007 BMW M3 (white, daily driver)
9. 2011 Ford F-150 (you need a truck)
10. 2011 Mercedes GL550 (black, I like driving my friends and/or family to fun places)

I bet having a lot of sports cars would be fun, but you can have a lot of fun in an suv, if you are with the right people.

too tough...more of a hyper-dream garage, subject to change, but:

1. 1961 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, green (w/ tan interior)
2. Aston Martin DBS Volante, grey (w/ tobacco interior), w/ killer sound system (brax, focal, etc.)
3. Brabus EV12 Coupe, black (w/ white interior)
4. 1938 Bugatti Type 57S ATLANTIC, black (w/ black interior)
5. Ferrari 599 GTO, red & black (w/ black interior)

8. Pagani Zonda F, gunmetal & carbon (w/ red interior)

1967 Camaro SS, deep red w/ NRE blown 572 BBC ..

- How many 'drivers' do you want, versus object de art? (such as the Zonda)
Anyway, here's my list. Whatever you may say, I'm missing something and have something here that is debatable.
Comments welcome.
V

Ford GT (2005)
Porsche Carrera GT (2005)
Tesla Roadster 2.5 (2011)
Rolls Royce DHC (2011)
Ultima GTR
Citroen SM
Corvette L88 Coupe (1967)
Pagani Zonda R (2010)
Ferrari 599 GTO (2011)
Porsche 918 Spyder (mid-run build)
I really like the pick 10 cars at different price points idea...may have to give that a whirl.

DOH! I completely forgot about the 918 Spyder!!!

And interesting that the Zonda made so many people's lists - I'm guessing a high overlap with people who watch Top Gear. Not sure that would have made my top ten, but definitely in the next 10.

As for the Ferrari 599 that made so many people's lists - that car is AMAZING to drive. It accelerates like it just wants to eat pavement. I've never experienced anything quite like it.
